Hi Durant,
i made this for you
its called the door opens.edit : meantime done
cheers -
Brothers and Sisters,
So, yeah, I posted this action over at the HyperShot dance floor, but am feeling filled with anti-complacency, so am reposting here for the slam dance original SU gangsters.
Bring it, and be it.
I'm all the mad future action today.
What my action will look like in the days and weeks ahead.
Am I living it now, or just waiting?
Bring that.
Waiting is, this is my Jack bird thought, a good bit of a sin against ones self -- and I don't really understand the religious meaning of sin, but the concept of it in this regard seems to fit.
Why wait to let all that richness bubble up?
I'm thinking it's in each of us, but we let it go stale, and then it gets all thick and black, and tasteless.
Take this green test body... It's built to take your happiness away. Not by force, but just because you let it into you.
You get board, and that Jack bird feeling shifts, and spreads, and, BANG, your passion just trickles out... like blood.
And that's what others want from you, to see your inner god of sex creative just dissolve way so you will be like them.
Bring that action.
If you would, take a look at the kind of knee deal on the right hand side of this monstrosity -- the portion of leg that ends with a kind of lollypop looking bit of mechanical -- just up and left from the end of the left end of the stroke that runs through the 02.
I build my Jack action in Sketch Up and if you look at that lolly, you will see this kind of weird artifact in the geometry.
Kind of looks like a seam running from the center out... I see this all the time on curved surfaces and I don't like it.
What gives with that?
I don't get the entire tessellation deal, I hate that action as well, but I don't know what to make of this kind of weird artifact.
I see it all over and can only assume it come from something to do with sketch up.
Perhaps I can go smoke a few camels, come back and post a better example.
I hate very few things, but do hate this artifact.
The hated artifact.
It's like an old gland.
Any Jack bird thoughts on a solution would be a rock star bit of slamming.

dh,
could it be this extra bit of geometry from a 'follow me' or similiar, showing thru?

Thats it, if you have a face intersecting a smooth face like that you will always get a visual artefact like you are seeing.
edit: sorry, i though this was a separate post asking a question for some reason, just ignore what i said.

not sure if this is what you're talking about, but... I figure you know, but maybe just to check:
when you click the circle or arc tool in SU before starting to draw the arc or circle type 48 and hit enter for circles, it's default is 12 segments. 48 will give much smoother circles for renderings. Arcs look better at 24 than default 12... even better at 36. Don't go too crazy typing in all higher numbers in there because it will seriously add to the size of the model.I think this can be changed to become the default behavior somewhere in SU's preferences.

Big Bag of Baz,
Right on, I've looked into this Jackness -- largely not the case... Very unnerving.
Remus -- Oh, Jack bird interesting.
Mitcorb, I've been fearful of ruby scripts and use none.... I Jack bird fear them.
Should I go there?
Fletch to the Sky Scraper -- bring the multi action.
I will do this kind of high number arc action in the future.
What about all this?
I am seeing this kind of deal on all my Jack action models now. With many users slam dancing all manner of modeling SletchUp over on planet HyperShot, I'm guessing I can't be the only one to encounter such Jack bird weirdness?
Knowledge?

Could you build a disrespectful and problem gland remover? I have at least 2 of each.

you don't use rubys???? that's Jack-bird crazy, Durant! i seriously cannot imagine how you modeled all that... was it done in Sketchup?
love all the Jack-action in this thread by the way... very inspiring
bring it, Durant "fire-starter" Hapke, BRING IT!:)))
-
Should you go there? Well, it ain't the dark side. I would choose carefully from the selection available, and there are many. On the other hand, one could see it as a form of corruption of principles.
I really appreciate your style, and respect your sense of creativity that spills over between the verbal and visual. What you say is as important as what you model and present on this forum. I hope that I can advance as far as you have.
Best wishes,
mitcorb -
dh, what mitcorb said, +1.
Re Rubies, scary, maybe, there are so many, and it can be hard differentiating between versions and working out which can be be useful to ones workflow, but dark, absolutely not.
Its too late in the evening for me now, but let me put a selection of rubies together for you tomorrow which will, I promise, free your sketchupmind and literally save hours of tedium better spent realising the goal.
baz.
(sometimes known as 'Big Bad Baz', you physic or what?)ps: the seam(ing) problem: how about you post a simple example in su which you have proven in your renderer to be disrespectful, I bet you someone here will work it out.

haha thats an image in itself. naughty sketchup.

Brothers and Sisters,
Bring a cold pair to each as I have expanded.
However, not to the end of this rabbit hole (speaking of, drop some ice and channel Hugh Hefner -- he is now again -- check Taschen).
This is for launching into the cosmos.
B3,
Bring that, if you have a list of Ruby extraordinary, I will ponder Jack action with punch.

DH. As promised here is a selection of some of the rubies I use most often, there are many, many more. I've lashed up a few quick examples, very basic, but you will get the idea.
Most are very generously donated by the ruby wizards, others are for purchase for very little from Smustard, amongst others. (Those below are all free)
Some come with documentation, others are obvious, and yes it's easy to get swamped with them.
I tend to grab them when I see them and put em in an 'Unplugged rubies' folder. Then load them one at at time and decide if I will find them useful, if not, then back they go to unplugged, cos you never know. (It's often useful to open them in notepad for any documentation.)
As well as these, I find 'Purge', 'Start front face tool' and "copy along path' essential.
I hope you will find this useful, you gotta get into rubies, every time a ruby wiz releases a new ruby its almost like getting a new version of sketchup.I'm sure others will have a few recomendations too.

By "Taschen", do you mean the bookstore?
Re: the illustration--nice ride!!

DH, I just came upon this very informative thread on rubies, with examples, check it out.

Brothers and Sisters,
Bring it.

PS -- Baz -- Good slam, I'm Jack slam digging.

Brothers and Sisters,
Bring me some Jack action...
Have some new wires up, but still have to do a lot of tuning.
I'm looking for answers again, not the Jack bird tiny ones, I want the big hog answers to the big Jack hog lines of inquiry -- bring that.
For this moment now, a bee is stinging and I must go swatting.

I would hate to find out first hand just what the thing does exactly
I feel inspired to model a machine I've been scheming up to build for the maker faire.... Always good to see what your brain is working on,
