TIGs OBJ exporter works perfectly, checked and re checked. I can export complicated scenes into blender/cycles for rendering. Blender now supports collada (the new fixed version I mean). So, I can import export in SU without issues. 3ds importer is also workable though the limitations (64k faces for single mesh, 8digit names for textures) This last is broken on all OSX free SU 8, works well in SU7 free. But, as long SU keeps exporting ridiculous geometry, giving no control to the user on this matter, who really cares? I started using blender as an assist app to SU. UV editor, organic modeling. Then, after cycles render engine implementation and the new blender UI, I started using SU as an assist to blender, importing there. Meanwhile, I learned blender, new great tools similar to SU and much more advanced came. So, you see my point

Done

Chris PS I'm not sure who will be there, but I'm sure there will be a few members of the SU team at the Denver AIA. Chris, I hope to see you at the ASAI conference. Maybe you can make it to a couple of the sketch tours.

Thank you, nice video. Clash of the titans, the medusa, is one of my favorites. Just compare it to the remake...

A typo. I meant to write 'I was waiting for Marielle to knock out one of Martin's teeth' Maybe a Freudian slip

If he would just learn Spanish....

Funny, I didn't see Al Gore's name on there....

So when does it come to the UK? And yes, what a job!!

Flac is the best compressed format you can have. Still, PCM format sounds a bit better though. (wav, aiff, SD2, PCM etc ) Of course, a 24 96 or 192 sound format is much much better. Being a mac user, indeed, iTunes under OSX is a superb playback device, but not the crap that itunes sells around. And, yes, I have a very very expensive HI End system here. (still professionally mixing and mastering works of some friends) Nothing to compare with the already mentioned setups on this forum. BTW, indeed Pete, vinyl sounds great, if you have the appropriate hi end player and the original vinyls. Else, better not. A 24 96 format, using HiEnd equipment like A to D converters, phono stage (valve based-better) etc, can capture most of it on a digital format.

Great stuff, how embarrassing for Harman and Rogoff, but leaving Australia out of the equation had to be intentional. During the GFC, our Govt. threw millions at the economy. And despite the huge increase in the deficit, it worked. We are one of only a handful of countries who are doing reasonably well. We are being propped up by our mineral exports of course, but most analysts agree that Aust. avoided most of the GFC fallout by implementing 'anti-austerity' policies.

Thanks for sticking the "active topics" link on all the pages. That's the one I use the most and I always had to go back to "Board index" to find it.

Real simulation!

"You're a Troll!" is leftist code for we can't bully you!

I saw this looks pretty good not available till April 22 I think

I suggest an email to Mike Lucy or Rich O'Brien. http://sketchucation.com/sketchucation-services http://sketchucation.com/contact/rich-o-brien etc... Or a PM ? SCF has a list of coders etc who be able to help you... Although I do know that many of them are very busy...

That must be frustrating for you.

I've used autoCAD WS to view exported dwg's of my model with some success on nexus 7. Looking at Sightspace on the playstore there doesn't seem to have been any great take up compared to other programs and has a mixed bag of reviews. Anyone out there using it and on what device? Brian I've been using SightSpace on my Samsung Galaxy Slll for awhile. My two cents,it does a decent job of viewing small to mid size models,panning and rotating smoothly,though some curved and/or smoothed surfaces sometimes appear faceted. Also have not had much success with the augumented reality mode. Mike

Hi folks. See this : http://vision.about.com/od/contactlenses/f/Monovision.htm I am nearsighted (far objects are not in focus) but I can read or see clearly from very close when I wear no glasses or contact lenses. About 15 years ago, my optometrist offered me to try monovision. My dominant eye being the rigth one is fully corrected for distance viewing while my left eye, is undercorrected by a few dioptries. The net result is that, far objects are sharp when seen by my rigth eye and not sharp when seen by my left eye. In reverse, close objects are sharp when seen by my left eye and not sharp when seen by my right eye. The brain can compensate and objects appear sharp at all distances. Well .. after an adaptation period. If I drive a car, for example, the rigth eye does the hard work. If I read, the left eye does the hard work. Surprisingly, I went to see Avatar in 3D and had no problem with the 3D effects, they were present. Also, with this scheme, the closer limit of my rigth eye and the farther limit of my left eye slightly overlap a little and this happens more or less at the normal viewing distance of a computer screen of about 24 inches or 60 centimeters. My optometrist told me that if these limits don't overlap, there is a "hole" or a zone where none of the eyes is seing sharply and this may cause problems. In such cases monovision might not work. Just ideas.
