Dang! Now I'm hungry!

Looks great. While good before, the new details really set the atmosphere.

My first little animation.

Ya know, I was just thinking about the fur plug-in.

Actually, in deep water, there is little to none distortion except from thrusters. The problem is visibility. This scene is too light.

Here's the change.

I've never heard of them, but a quick search shows they have an office not far from me here in Houston. What a strange coincidence!

Is that a real ROV system?, or is it a fictional one? Looks like a schilling robot, but I do not see anything made by anyone called "Seahorse Mark III". So is it your own design?

Yep. It's fake. Best I could do without real engineering plans.

"Seahorse Mark III" is a running joke. Like the "Mark II" or "Acme."

A joke even older than me. But I had fun and learned a lot making it. Every inch of it. I'm really proud of the thrusters. The one thing you can't see very well.

Great looking model and nice render!

But yeah, the yellow stripe... not so much.

Looking good

Have you been watching the ROV operations on

http://bp.isevil.org/ ?

Thanks.

No, not recently.

Just leave the keys under the door mat and I promise I'll walk the dog!

Fantastic as always.

I like!

This is actually a "composite" ROV (as in nonsuch) because I had the same problem I had with the wellhead; not enough reference materials or exact scales. And of course a lot of details are missing.

But I think it's in the ballpark.

I like the style.

Nice!

Outstanding.

Ahhh, that's better!

A world of difference!

Bummer. Hang in there.

Very nice! Keep posting.

There's a variety of things posted here. It ebbs and flows. Some rendered some not. I like it all. You never know what you're going to see.

I have to agree that the second one looks better.

Is this an interior furnishings store? Looks nice.

Yes, that is how my interior design shop should look like after the reconstruction in july.

Excellent!

Good find xrok1. That was hilarious!

Sometimes they cheap out on other components. That would be the ones they don't mention. Maybe the hard drive is slow. Or the actual screen doesn't have a super fast response time or high contrast ratio. Or the motherboard has some quirk that was found after production and now they need to get rid of the inventory.

What you need to consider is what you will be using it for. The one thing most laptops ARE NOT good for is intensive design work.

Also keep in mind that the lifespan of laptop is +/-4 years. For the good ones.
