She probably thought “If we require music, we already have a suitable device; it’s called the Band of the Coldstream Guards. It comes in full 3D colour with surround-sound and is extremely portable too.”

Hear, hear!

A friend brought this to my attention...this project is used extensively to illustrate some new 3DS Max Design 2010 features in a Youtube video: [flash=480,295:3e3kzyzd]http://www.youtube.com/v/J4tDM0D2BW8&hl=en&fs=1[/flash:3e3kzyzd] The rendered viewport with shadows and lighting (theirlighting--added by someone else in Max, as I certainly didn't plan those down-lights on the sides of the building) is very impressive, and I wish I could justify buying a copy of the program, especially since they are advertising it with my work! They don't mention at any time in the video that I modeled this version of the Stormhouse in something else than 3DS Max, though...an interesting omission! As I noted in the original thread on this project, it has successively has been drawn by hand and modeled in Blender, Rhino, and finally SU 6, and only belatedly imported into Max for rendering.

Note that when it comes to economic crises and hardships for people,extreme and populist tendencies always gain ground. It should be up to the wiser thinking of those more wealthy to help the less fortunate out of this situation (no, please do not think of military aid in this case).

This is nothing, just see what they've got planned next (just give them time) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyjms9W8PCc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kswJuKfYtI&feature=related

Here are two other examples of FreeForm gone bad...[image: TUrZ_the-dancing-house-1.jpg][image: WXSk_the-crooked-house-2.jpg]

They all appear to be concentrated on the old @Last offices in Pearl Street. It's funny that they aren't all in exactly the same location....obviously Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in action; looming Black Hole for certain.

Peterbilt: Glad to help. But please don't take my one view on this. Avail yourself of other discussion on the matter. Again, Best Regards mitcorb

Happy April Fool's Day to you too. . ..

Like this one? And the free prog for see it I don't know if another prog can open it?

Ok mind torture is finished you have quasi find I don't said the same day You can also take your index fingers left and right and move it on the way from farm to mountain, when they cross it they will be at the same place and at the same hour [image: oj5U_sheep.jpg]

Unfortunately, ArchiCAD is becoming the new AutoCAD. It's $5,000, and there's a new version every year with only minor tweaks. That's why some companies, including my former employer, have stopped upgrading it. Once a software maker adopts the yearly subscription model, you know what to expect .

That was pretty cool. .. but was that time lapse or just the red bulls and coffee?

I understand (I think) what you are saying Dave. Pete, that pic could not be real if they say all then have done to date is a short flight on the take off / landing strip.

One year a science magazine had a 4/1 article about an 'arctic mole' that borrowed under the ice. The article said it had a large mass of blood vessels in it's forehead it used to melt the ice... I told numerous people before I realized how ridiculous it sounded.

My suggestion is to find a civil engineer that you can get interested in the project. Perhaps even someone from a major concrete supplier or concrete construction specialist; that way you'll likely get good advice free of charge and maybe even a route to help with construction.

Very well-worded summary Adam, thanks
