I saw that on the news last night...but at 10p a page for out of print or out of copyright books; for the price of a couple of such books you could buy an e-book reader and just download the text from Project Gutenberg.

I doubt that SU was involved in the animation at all. I'm guessing that CS is custom scenery and that's what SU was used for. IMO the scenery isn't very impressive anyway. It's just an unobtrusive background for the coaster.

that guy needs to learn a modeling app, something with physics support

kmead said @unknownuser said: The thing is its not what I am interested in doing. I hire people to create renderings... Day to day we just don't do them... don't have the time, money or real need for that level... I don't really care to. I am a designer... SU is a good tool to design with and although I may send models to be rendered ...its not going to be me doing it. This was always my attitude, until quite recently. Now I'm trying to learn to render as soon as possible. Now I'm a freelancer, it certainly helps to have that skill. But mainly because it really seems that the general public, business people and even planning committees see everything through CGI tinted glasses. Regardless of how good the design is, it's the better renders that win jobs. Recently I've seen several, what I regarded, as innovative designs by up and coming architects consigned to the scrap heap, while some really ugly buildings by mega-corp developers have been heralded as "pioneering architecture" on the strength of the render. As I'm employed solely as a modeller a lot of the time, the only way I can compete is to recommend outsourcing the render to a Chinese render farm that I've made some contacts with (getting renders done in the UK is too expensive). This still comes at a cost but the quality of the rendering and the speed of the turnaround might be something that I could never achieve. However most of my clients are really small firms, so even a service like this is too expensive for them. Only option, do it myself.

well, at least you had the timing right.. september is the best month to be in nyc

Interesting thought. I supose there is no reason why not. I am personally looking at the posibility to use it as teaching aid. Here is the forum where Ani started the idea. http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/4801/P0/

It's actually inflatable. Made in China.

But the adrenaline rush.... aaaah... Not there unless you have prevaricated...

You could still add something to the side area to take up some space, just not making it look like it's out of place, like the first design which seems like it's going over it's page.

@broomstick said: @unknownuser said: and you can run vray via cinema4d... This I have to check out. Vray runs on C4D on macs? @unknownuser said: coming soon though is vray for sketchup OS X which will run natively on macs http://www.vray.com/vray_for_sketchup/buy_vray_for_sketchup_mac.shtml This is extremely good news!! YES....!

Thanks Pilou for this, Complexity made with quite simple rules... MALAISE

Of course Malaise, but the post relates to sailships, not these ugly metal made ships with guns and rockets. As beyonds to the gender, I had not the opportunity to verify by myself.

I am sorry Stinkie, we are now working in the final elevations. The project changed a bit on November. I can send to you the Elevation and Section we had by then. That is all I can afford by now. Cheers. edit : it is off now.

Photoshop!

No Chris, as I said I didn't have the intention of involving God in this topic. Yes; sigh...

She's come a long way since last Saturday night. Apparently that video is breaking all YouTube records. Going on for 18 million hits, right now...it was 3 million about 48 hours ago

Chris I've had my gallbladder removed also. After several gallstone attacks I was more than ready. Gallstone attacks are nasty painful events. With Lapriscopic surgery you can be back to normal in only a few days. Do your best to avoid taking the drugs they are addictive and morphine will make you constipated. Plus I think mentally you get better faster if you just buck up and bear with the pain of surgery. I was back to work the day after my surgery.
