Lucky.

I think it coulda been much worse. tumblr_ldnqapig8t1qc2qeto1_400.gif

I have had that Laptop for the last 2yrs I think. Its been so good that my next laptop upgrade will be another Asus G(what ever it is then). I still run a desktop with higher spec's at the office. But needed another option for presenting to clients or working from home.

I use Sketchup, Autocad 2012, Vray4Su, Thearender. All of which work fine.

The laptop is a tank. I'd call it more of a mobile desktop rather than a laptop. Like Rich said mine has a GTX560m 2gb which is a good card for a laptop. But I drool over the latest G75 with the GTX780m 4bg. Mmmmmmmmmm very nice.

A street view screen grab with the sculpture model superimposed would have been far superior to that SU rendering.

I do think that that roundabout is a completely inappropriate place for a large sculpture. But the positioning of the model in SU is ridiculous. The barriers are extremely large and there is a wide distance between the barriers so the sculpture needs to go between the barriers, it can't be behind them as they are in the model.

I don't think they are particularly bad, they just look like really quick models to me. Definitely not suitable for publication, and they've only probably been published because they were free and the newspapers are churned out quickly and will accept any rubbish picture they can.

I thought they were very nice. I think all the Olympic opening ceremonies within recent memory have been very nice. The torch lighting was done well (each host always tries to do something unique). I did notice, though, that this was the first one I recall where the Olympic flag was not accompanied by an honor guard when raised.

Enjoyed it. Thanks.

Just did a check on where things stand with Rhino and VisualARQ for OSX. There is some progress!

As regards VisualARQ, they say,

"We certainly are very interested in developing a VisualARQ version for Rhino OSX, but we won't be able to adapt our plugin to run with Rhino’s Mac version until that version is 100% ready. Once the definitive Rhino OSX version is released(), our development team will be able to determine how much work/time we need for adapting VisualARQ to the OSX system".*

Yes, that is what I was thinking.

I guess I am going to have to visit that site a little more.

That's a nice one... I wish I was a kid!

Don't know if they have a model with Chalkline? 😉

Although a few years old now, I think this simple 5 minute youtube video gives a good description of the basics of sub division modeling.

This is a Sketchucation service, some private market.
