Was wondering if anyone here has experience with, or has used the Moasure device. We're thinking about getting one and was wondering what other peoples experience with them had been?

Great Timing...a local Adult Education Centre is having a 20-hr introduction to Blender/3D Animation this Fall. Hopefully I can get signed up.
I am SO looking forward to actually having a real person teach the course instead of trying to learn (yet another) modelling/rendering/animation program on my own. I always feel I've figured out just enough to get going but miss alot of the good stuff too.

Where are you that you have a Education Center that offers such a course. Thats awesome. I sure wish there was something like that around where I'm at. Just doesn't ever seem to work that way.

Looking forward to the new Blender sub-forum. The 2.8 UI overhaul is unbelievable. Kudos all around for the blender devs that worked on that. Can't wait for more Blender topics....

In response to some threads above about DAE vs OBJ. I've been having good luck with DAE imports from SU. It places all objects in an "empty" and scales the empty to the correct units. Haven't had any problems with duplicate faces.

Now I'm just trying to figure out how to deal with "empty" object types in Blender.

That is awesome. Great plug-in and thank you.

Lynda.com has some blender tutorials available. I've tried learning it several times now. Just can't seem to wrap my head around that program.

I could be wrong on this, but I believe 3ds has a limitation on the number of faces a file is able to hold. I think it's 64000

Thank you. These are great.

Thank you.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it or I'm just having one of those days. I thought you could create a shortcut to the explode command. Like assign the letter x on the keyboard to it. It isn't listed in the shortcut area of SU preferences. Could someone enlighten me on this.

Maybe it was just all a dream.

I too question Trimbles commitment to communities like ArchVis and woodworking. I hope I'm proven wrong.
