I haven't followed Football for years, mainly because it has become LESS violent. Heck. . you can't even put a bounty out on somebody anymore and try to seriously injur them and potenitally end their careers for a few measley bucks on top of their already grotesque salaries We have seriously lost our way as a nation . . . where have you gone Joe DiMaggio... our nation turns its lonely eyes to you. . . woo woo woo. Bounty Hunting Seriously I stopped playing football as a teen-ager because I no longer wanted to be perceived as a troglodite Quasimodo and wanted to pursue more intellectual pursuits . . .but I couldnt get anyone to sponsor me in NASCAR.

Happy b-day, Stoppel.

Iv being using sketchup to do animations using characters and so on, not the ideal tool for it but you can view some of my work by looking into my previous posts and my blog, failing to animate in SU iv used my concepts and trying to imply them into an app for mobile devices, currently under preproduction, but because of the lack of quads in designing characters in SU I will need to model them again using either 3D Max, Cinema4D, Blender and so on, iv managed to animate characters using a modified method in SU, I have a short clip in 1 of my posts, but it took me quite a long time to get any progression in animating in SU, I suggest learning a different 3D software like Blender which is designed for animations, I myself haven't learnt blender but I wish I had as SU was the wrong tool, have you done any animations in SU you would like to share?

thank you for the info sir

finally my crappy computer start to have "blue screen" of dumping (an screen showing physical memory dump, and counting down!!!) . then it restarted, giving a message that i've missed a system file ,and asking me to use a 3 finger hello! ( I mean, Alt+Ctrl+Del)!!!! and then missed my pc..., and now it is on repairing.... donno what happend and if it was depending on that treats or no, but it;d be fine by new windows..... my only chance was that I had a copy of latest works on flash memory and continued on my new laptop wit only Sketchup+Gimp!!!, my only engineering apps!!

Good thought, but that wasn't it. Turned out to be that I was running SketchUp in XP SP3 compatibility mode, along with using a basic theme.

good gaff, Csaba....

Very interesting, Roger: Thank you for sharing this gentleman's story, and the info about "idea" and "model". These insights really are priceless, and I appreciate them.

Very creative. Good fun.

I don't want one promised at the price... I want a share or a few of the company.

Thanks for your answers. And, regarding archviz, how do you make sure you will get paid? Do you place some text or watermark on the images/videos?

I love it!

got it , thx anyway : )

The company I used was UK based so of no use.

Parabolic!
