hi chris, do you mean the su technique or the actual shaping of the bowl? poster-baz

Beautiful model! Thanks! poster-Gidon

Wonderful job. So much good that I am able to hear the sound! Thanks for sharing

well I have the space and the bandwidth... and you have the visitors... so shall we?

Me too Will, I make a lot of trees I'll never get to use...except in my dreams (which I maybe too often post here :`). Thanks, Tom.

I guess it goes like this [image: xxRO_kids.jpg]

Thanks Michael - beautifully modeled and textured.

Now that I look at it again, it's a zero edge sink! Who'd a thunk it. Nice. poster-Jeff Jacobs

Guys, Thanks a bunch for your helpful responses. My attitude has always been pretty much exactly as Anssi stated. The hitch being the view for the LA's is more often from above like shown. But it dawned on me reading all this: when a shadow casts on a wall it really is just as simple as a flat horizontal...so there's the rub. A second plus for me is in hidden line and shaded modes, the cut up faces look much better too. So I've decided to pursue the nice shadow by first seeing if I can develope some sort of pinking shear template so making the shadow doesn't take longer than making the tree (and so I don't fall into using the same shadow for all). Then seeing how much I can cut down the edges and still have something nice. Then, if it isn't small enough still, I will add a simpler shadow component for alternate use...though I do always put the shadows on a separate layer too. Whadaya think? Any other hints? (Wish me luck driving around today...I'll be looking at tree shadows to distraction :`) Best, Tom.

Adding another small lot massing model. Enjoy and have a great weekend! Morrison-Fite Plan 2B.skp

hahaha, good one (I reckon the image should have read @last or SU, but just as funny just the same). yup, works fine...

Thanks for the link Michael. Yes Pepe does nice work. I gave him a 5 start vote and send him a message suggesting that he should drop in here for a visit. Mike

@craigd said: It scares me Tom! No matter where I orbit...IT'S STILL WATCHING ME!! - CraigD That gives me an idea- has anyone done a fly-through animation of an interior space where the eyes on the paintings follow you? That'd be pretty darn cool! Dave

¡Fine in deed! Thanks a lot, Kris!! Regards form Spain: el.antuan

thank RickW for the script, I've found it quite valuable too...

Oh, yeah, sorry Ron - actually I expect to be quite free with my stuff - I had planned to post it all to the old forum once I had the job finished - some might actually remember my toaster with the render and toast that I posted as a teaser a couple of months ago. I am not concerned about giving and not getting, I'm not concerned about my stuff being used willy-nilly - I would be pleased as punch to see that my stuff was good enough to be used in some of anyone's work in here... i guess I'm just concerned about bandwidth and storage. I had 198 things posted on the old forum and never blinked an eye - but If we all post our crap right away - how terrible if we crashed Coen's site - and being so conciensous, I could think that he would pay out of his own pocket to continue for this month if we made the traffic too high. I will post when we are sure that we aren't going to hurt Coen - but till then - email me or pm me and I will email the parts to you.. probably wouldn't hurt to post an image at least though I guess - maybe tomorrow.. <anyone else notice that I use too many hyphens and triple-periods instead of forming proper sentances..? - guess i should work on that> poster-Shaun Tennant
