"Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud. Is a great book about comics, but it goes into a lot of detail about the difference in abstraction and realism, and the importance of it. I can't recommend the book enough. http://scottmccloud.com/2-print/1-uc/index.html

thank you, i enjoyed this although i don't know all the characters )

That's not entirely true Tig, I taught that too, my car was valued at €8000 3yrs ago, and even tho it was insured at that insurance company's only pay out what the car is valued at now, I baught my BMW when the economy was booming, but since the resession hit the value of high powered petrol cars decreassed bringing the value of my car down to €2500 on the market today, this is why I only got this much, it's a joke and I totally agree that the person who was not at fault should not be out of pocket but it doesn't work that way, ideally it should but both persons suffer financially no matter what, believe me iv just gone threw it all, I say again insurance is only a sticker on your window.

Hi Pilou, thanks for the quick reply. The first link is the right thing. I believed it had only twelve lessons. Too bad it does not work anymore. I thought for a beginner it would be still good to use. [image: FBLh_2012-05-24_235934.jpg]

What can we do?

Looks like a Pininterest ripp off.

Thanks for this. You can listen to multiple tracks at once from the browser and record them as you listen, rather than downloading single tracks, if you use a 'playing now' recorder, something like HarddiskOgg. http://www.fridgesoft.de/harddiskogg.php

These links are working prototypes of the kinect working with sketchup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=487QS3yyJ5M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T7Ymt92O14 Here it is working with google earth with the added 3d feature, must be epic for the user, almost like minority report http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQgASc5i_3U The following link may not be sketchup but it could be done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-wLOfjVfVc Sorry i cant seem to find the sketchyphysics and kinect clip but its out there somewhere and looks very impressive, also i cant seem to embed vdeos so sorry about that too

You are so right, I'm always on the look out for loyal clients.

Great find, thanks

Thanks for the replies. We went for the iPhones except for my daughter, we got her a basic phone... not ready for her to have internet access on a phone yet.

That's a cute hack; thanks!

"who the hell wrote this..."

Thanks for the help guys, I apreciate but finally I talked a bit more with inmotion support and we found a good solution. I will be sharing my HDRi's soon (after building my website off course )

Alan & Boofredlay, Thanks for the replies, hmmm…perhaps I was wrong….. maybe that’s why I can’t find it???? Boofredlay, the kite link you posted is similar, I thought there was one with open cells/chambers (more of an acrobatic chute)? perhaps I have went over to the 3d warehouse & put the two together in my mind…no offense intended Alan. On another note, those xxxxxx tufted sofas come in very handy for interior renderings, keep ‘em coming!!!!! Thanks again, Glenn
