.... I just looked up the translation for 'Noli Illegitemi Carborundum'. Good one, I must keep that to hand for sign offs.

@jiminy-billy-bob said: I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm really sorry you lost you job Jan! You sure are one heck of an illustrator, be it 3D or 2D. These are amazing, I'd love to purchase your books for my kids! Let us know when they get published Thanks. I’l let you know if or when any of them are published.

From brief googling: https://flippednormals.com/articles/why-blender-isnt-industry-standard/ https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/htb5ki/why_aaa_studios_not_shifting_to_blender/ this is more or less depicts reality

Wow. I forgot all about that website! Thanks, but none of those were it. But what an excellent source for more practice renders!

TIG has a good point, Taxi Cabs not to mention UBER and other similar services offer a good service. Still, folks want their personal transport. I also think a lot of it might be status driven also .... nay, I know a lot of it is status driven. So, maybe the trick would be for some car manufacturing company to grab the nettle and produce an upgradable car that is VERY fashionable thus satisfying the status seekers. Anyone interested in joining me in the formulation / design of such a vehicle .... I'm serious! Mike

Joe, I'm using a curved Dell U3818DW and I see no change in how my images are shown on the screen or in how they compare printed out. Now this is NOT a cheap monitor ($1,000 and up) and will look better than a less expensive one. I'm running mine at 3840x1600 at 125% and everything looks great in SU, Acad, Adobe etc..

Hey Kenny, No breach - all is well

Michalis, I need your attention, please.

Guys, I started a fresh thread on 'upgradable autos' here, https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=179&t=73687 I located an excellent thesis by Daniel Couttolenc which shows a way to 30 year car life cycles. Mike

After a few years, I finally decided to try learning texturing, texture painting, and Rigging in Blender3D. Here is the result. Thank you michaliszissiou for all your helps! [image: bpXE_Capture.PNG]

Rather a very old topic, but I just signed in and it is not still free, maybe it is free for premium members.

Excellent work.

Rocket 3F looks pretty cool.

I have nothing against refurbs. I love refurbs! They are usually the best bargains and all the bugs have been worked out!!! What I have right now is a 9 yo i5, with 8GB RAM and 2GB video, all with 2+year old drivers that can no longer be updated. Not even the BIOS. For simple chores, it's fine, but starting to struggle. For SketchUp and video editing, it's done for. In fact, a refurb was what I was going looking for when I could afford it.

decided to redownload the installer again as when i opened scenes it kept crashing so something must have been crruppted the first time i downloaded... if your curious these are the defaults from the preferences.dat file [Accelerator] Count=20 0 0 0 H selectDollyTool: 0 0 0 I selectImageIglooTool: 0 0 0 O selectOrbitTool: 0 0 0 Z selectZoomTool: 0 0 1 Z viewZoomExtents: 0 0 0 A selectArcTool: 0 0 0 C selectCircleTool: 0 0 0 E selectEraseTool: 0 0 0 B selectPaintTool: 0 0 0 P selectPushPullTool: 0 0 0 R selectRectangleTool: 0 0 0 Space selectSelectionTool: 0 0 0 L selectLineTool: 0 0 0 K View/Edge Style/Back Edges 0 0 0 M selectMoveTool: 0 0 0 G Edit/Make Component... 0 0 0 T selectMeasureTool: 0 0 0 F selectOffsetTool: 0 0 0 Q selectRotateTool: 0 0 0 S selectScaleTool: u can use notepad++ to edit the file directly

What I don't understand is why couldn't they all jump on a simple standard? (Screen denotes up, perhaps)? And here be madness, I have two HTC devices. Their ports are opposite! Cheers.

Hi, I could have not said it better

Thank you L i am, I will.

Thanks, TIG So, I wanted "lock by layer" moved up in the menu structure. Change name from lockbylayer.rb to A lockbylayer.rb. Also changed the code "file loaded" to the new name. Moved up and still works. This was not obvious just by looking at the plugins in the plugin directory. Anyway, got it fixed. Would really like this plugin to be a toolbar plugin. And thanks TIG.

Works for me as lock by layer However it is often easier to search for just a word and and scroll through what comes up. I found this by just searching in the store for 'lock' Edit: a quick tip incase you are using the search box at the top of the page. That searches the forum. Click PluginStore just below it and search there. [image: vLSjUe5.gif]
