thanx mates for your comments. his dominant theme hovers around "contemporary women", specially in Iran and also other humanistic contemporary question.

Had me going there for a while until I read more. Pretty convincing video though 👍

Where is the 'Seawise Giant' I want to vote for that ship, your webiste clearly states ' anybody at any age can vote for the best Cruise Ship, Ocean Liner or Tanker' ! False advertising!!!

Any ship that too big for the English Channel is a winner!

I had no idea that they had fitted these rockets with cameras, ever

Since we have lost shuttles due to accidents at lift-off (Challenger and Columbia--Very sad. . .) with tiles falling off or fuel lines frozen it was absolutely imperative that every aspect of the launches be photographed. . .so that explains the cameras.

Plus. .. it makes for very cool video!

What I find incredible. . .how did they find a cameraman willing to do that??!!

**I mean. .. holding on and then having to swim in ocean like that and not dropping the camera. ..

Amazing!**

And finally seems Blender or Sculptris has Vertex Paint mode for 0 $

Blender has vertex painting ... somehow LOL. Sculptris no vertex painting at all. It automatically unwraps UVs, it's direct texture painting method.
3dcoat implemented vertex painting recently (directly on voxel meshes) and costs ~$350 , educational version at ~$99 ( it does a lot more things than just painting)

Yeah, direct vertex painting. Quality depends on the resolution of mesh. For a equivalent to a 2024x2024 pix map, a ~4M mesh is needed. A ~8M is even better. Here, zbrush is the winner. Millions of poly running on a cheap hardware. In any case, for exporting all these, you have to retopo-decimate the mesh, make UVs, bake on textures.

I'm really going to throw this damn mouse!!!!! It's doing it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I viewed both of those youtube videos. Thanks. Still insufficiently informed.

Yeah it's awesome. No problem.

that seems to get pretty close. I'm going to play around with it.

What Charly posted looks good and conversion to dae and then to MeshLab looks OK also=> for quick check.
Suggestion: Contact the seller and see if they will convert your posted test jpg since you may be interested in buying a license ? => just as an eval. test. My guess they will want you to re-scan that image to tif , not re-sample. The key to success is to have a clean image to start and if you have a number you want to convert you will have to factor that into your plans. If you can get to a somewhat decent SU ( then Dae) then Meshlab may be used to remove T vertices etc. I could not clean you ordinal test jpg to a clean level to work with.

Brilliant!

I see. I wouldn't personally characterize them as heads, though they certainly keep a jabber going. Perhaps talking gas bags. Certainly agreed that their focus is skewed to their bias, whatever that may be.

🤣 I've used Siri, and she has not talked to me that way, at least not yet. 🤣

Thanks for reminding me 😄 And today, we have a nice Jelačić monument in Zagreb.
Erected by the Austrians 😒

Ah yes, I know. 😄

this was a very busy week in many parts of Europe, revolutions sprang up like mushrooms but not all were as successful as in Hungary.

Well, it was just two days before in Vienna itself. But indeed, in Hungary it lasted till August the following year. And the Habsburg dynasty could not even suppress it but the emperor had to kiss the arse of the Russian Tsar and some 300,000 Russian soldiers invaded Hungary in 1949. (But at least we had a rehearsal for another invasion in 1956 😄 )

Thank-you Rich. The naughty bits didn't cross my mind.

Yes beware of the slides of March. They seem to be installed on solid concrete. Sort of a postpartum form of birth control.

🤣

Yes, I have also heard about it. Very sad indeed.
