@chris fullmer said: Sounds interesting. I lost a lot of faith in Maxwell after they messed up their original beta soooo badly. I half expect them to look for every cool feature of this new software and then tweak it before public release so it no longer works as desired. Chris, mate I can certainly support what you are saying about the earliest beta's being a bit of a mess up! But I guess we need to stay mindful they were then heading into unchartered waters then with unbiased rendering! No other unbiased render engines existed, no proper ruby support for SU, also given the new comers aiming to emulate their model are yet to produce the same image quality or for that matter meet their promised deadlines by almost a year one has to have some sympathies and given support for their breaking new ground. I'd suggest even the new comers would not be so advanced with apsects like re-lighting and a stack of other features had they not headed the way. And I'd suggest with this new plugin further development in the competition will follow in an attempt to keep pace and again somewhat aim to emulate!

...and there were another "big sessions" ?

Oli Must be frustrating to know your car would still be fine if you'd only saw James' tutorial sooner (Sorry couldn't resist. My apologies if I hurt your feelings. But must say I'm glad you got out OK) Flapsy

@solo said: I like the idea, I think this could be a great solution for our future power requirements. I'm just concerned about driving on glass on a rainy/snowy/icy day however. Hey Pete, recycled glass is already used as aggregate in some road toppings anyway!

that thing looks like it's right up your alley, man... thanks for sharing! noted

I got attacked on my gmail account last month. Had to jump through hoops to get it sorted Must be only the really influential folks getting fingered!

gallery wise.....fur plugin thread received a lot of attention, not sure how many views. silvershadow, free agent and kwistenbiebels work also draw much attention and quite rightly so!!

That's great Graziano, thanks! Long live Flickr too BTW. I'm tired of picasaweb

@pbacot said: Nokia is raising the bar it seems. Not only do phones now need to have a camera but a GOOD camera and myriad of other uses. I have the original, or late original iPhone. I usually don't use it for anything but occasionally as a phone, but check email when away for a few days. But if phones are supposed to do everything, I'll want one that will brush my teeth and comb my hair for me. That would would be a REAL phone IMO. For me a twin bell alarm clock and a shaver too btw there seems to be some new Nokia models released just now [1] and [2], but they camera might not be as good as in N8 ('just' 8 magapixels).

Co-op is going to be AWESOME! Hope you will play as those robots, adds to the humor of the game

The problem is that the small consumer would not generally be in a position to challenge the lower court decision, and ignoring it would not be a good idea.

Possibly already commented on in some of the above links- I didn't check- would be to look at Leica line of Disto Laser Distance Meters. Not inexpensive, but highly accurate.

Gee Brodie, that's quite a secure system!!!

It looks as if your virus program is flagging buysellads.com, which is where the banner ads on the forum are being served from.

Me too. Looks like a nice city, Boulder. Love them mountains I've seen in a few pics. In a few years, okay?

@chris fullmer said: 7.1 was a big step forward for many things. Yes - seems that many people overlook that when they ask for SketchUp performance, many claim there hasn't been improvements. Seems to me that they say that just because SU 7.1 lacked the buzzwords like 64bit and multi-core.

Marcus, if you do an HDRI, send me a before and after, I am keen to see what you come up with.
