Some parting thoughts, since I have some work to do too, thankfully.
Like Pete said, Jesus was a radical socialist. He turned political and religious structures on their heads. But that's the point, Jesus operates in the human faith and relationship realm, not the scientific realm, and to conflate the two is pointless. IMHO

... gallop gallop gallop...
I suppose I agree generally with your points, but you are coming across super snarky. I still consider "dumb" to be name calling, but eh, well, pick your battles.

Oh yeah: he can do backflips and create solar systems at the same time.
Who's your daddy? WHO IS YOUR DADDY?[/i]
so name calling and sarcasm will work where rational discussion doesn't? I guess that makes your points that much more valid.

RE: Did a God or Gods create the universe? EDITED
If I were coming to this without preconcceptions, I would say the rationalists are clearly way ahead in this debate against dogmatic christians. That said, I profess to be Christian, but not in any wacky bible literalism manner. For me, the meaning of the church is the "body of christ" and how we conduct out human interactions with fellow people.
It seems once you take a fundamentalist perspective, any rational consideration of things as plain as the nose on your face goes out the window.
If that makes me a bad christian, so be it. That's your problem. -

BTW, your IP is showing both Chicago, Salt Lake City and Delhi. You've got one fast plane.
or a proxy server...
similar to your spate of questions in vray. The last three advices are spot on. Learn the basics first by going through the available tutorials. There are really good ones out there for both sketchup and vray. I'm pretty confident in saying that everyone who knows what they are doing here on this forum benefitted from them in the beginning. I certainly did when I started out.
Best,

RE: Render - criticisms and suggestions please
put together a context. The image is floating in space. If you have some street views, you can even make some simple cutout "billboards" just to give some images for the window to reflect. Look at some example renderings. I find using photomontage is the quickest was to give a render "realism"
Best,

obviously we have lively debates, but he's never won one yet.
Of course, because it's not possible to win a debate with a devout christian.

RE: Act of God.
@ cornel: I guess I mean the whole "thou shalt not kill" sort of thing... I just think it's contradictory.
(And a bonus just for the original post: "thou shalt not make unto you any graven image"...)

βAlan Fβ. claims that βMost of these people are just innocent people, just going about their lives, trying to do the best they can.β
But God sees things differently:
β[There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, NOT EVEN ONE.]β (Romans 3:10-12)No one is INNOCENT PEOPLE, and,
βThe wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.β (Romans 6:23)
Think more deeply, Alan!
holy crap! either life is sacred or it isn't. pick one fer cryin' out loud.
This has been the most asinine series of people conversing past each other I have seen in a while. Amusing all the same... -
RE: My first maxwell render
cool, thanks! I wondered if that was pp or if there was some magic render setting.

RE: My first maxwell render
wow! That's beautiful
How did you do that volumetric lighting effect? Looks really great. -

RE: $500 for inference engine plugin
Wow! What a blessed day in sketchucation world!! (sarcastic aside to solo, cornel, et al...
)
If you can make a line tool like that in your Fredo world of plugins, I just may call this program FredoUp... Your tools are so amazingly good and useful. I can't imagine my workflow in sketchup without them. Many thanks to you! Not to mention someone may be shelling out $500. I may wish to add to that amount...

RE: The PREVIOUS command like AutoCAD ??
@mitcorb said:
So far as I know, it (Autocad) won't let you COPY previous. And don't try to do large selections for move or stretch and then zoom in for precision box selection, because in this case all that is selected has to be fully within display.
Um, quick ACAD tutorial.. make a selection. hit Esc twice. invoke copy command. type "p" (for "previous"). Enter. (now you have your previous selection.) (you can do this in any command, including "ch")
Now as for Thomthom - you can really make a gizmo to choose between earlier selections!?!

RE: [Example] V-Ray Displacement
i wonder if he's confused that isolating geometry is not just having it separate but to actually make a "group" or "component" out of it. Haven't had a chance to look at the model either.
-
RE: [Example] V-Ray Displacement
also, make sure also that any edges in your group do not have any other material applied. That's tricked me up once or twice...

RE: [Plugin] Set North in Free version
@irwanwr said:
erm... but Jim said there;
@unknownuser said:
- This plug-in was made for SketchUp version 6 Free because it lacked the dialog (which Pro had) to change these settings. This has become obsolete since SU 7.
what's that supposed to mean? i am planning to use only SU 8 now.
In SU7 free, you could set the north direction (like the plugin does,) which Google then took away in the SU8 free version... it's only available in SU8 pro

RE: [Plugin] Set North in Free version
@irwanwr - did you see this? This one works great and does work in SU8 free

RE: The PREVIOUS command like AutoCAD ??
In the interim, while thomthom creates some more amazing plugins (and I don't mean that sarcastically, his work is outstanding) have you tried the selection toys plugin? It makes selecting and deselecting specific geometry types a breeze.
