We have room for you to Coronel!
Don't discard it. Do you have any good looking sister or friend? We will need something to start from when demons finish the work 
@dale said:
So what are you going to do? Speak out on forums?
No, I will try to support all those initiatives tending to make a better world. Spain will be the first occidental country to give the 1.7 of the IBP for exterior helping. We are the first country in organ donation. We have one of the best health systems in the world. We are a paradise for tourists and we love the rest of the world. We are one of the first countries in renewable energy and will grow much more. We are closing all our nuclear centrals. We just send militars to reconstruct basic communications after your invasions 
. We respect fishing quotes and I will make pressure to extend all this things, to reclaim better education, better technicians (we are very imaginative). I will try to buy local like you to help families to maintain their small business. I will try to be your friend. I will respect nature. I will try to educate my sons to do all of this much better than me. I will try to be accepted for my own, not for the car I drive. I will try to love other countries the same I love mine. And I will take a cup of coffee now with your permission.
@dale said:
Oh and by the way Coronel, your English is excellent.
I don't think so but thank you very much, I learned it mostly from my own...
And you make me happy when I see you control your reins doing something, now is time to explore how much we can expand our espheres 
I think the first step is to change the education.

For someone who is not interested in hard discussion, you have a lot to say:-) Most people do not take responsibility for their thoughts, and do little in reality outside of their sphere of influence. They do nothing outside their nominal reach to change their lives, the future, and the world.
Should they?
Your sphere of influence is not as small as you could think. You are at my antipodes but I'm influencing you now. You can hate me and reaffirm your opinions after reading mines or you could find something that never before was important to you so I could change your opinion. But I see this is not the problem with you. It seems it doesn't matter to you or you feel your are not important enough for this world. What can I do... nothing? What if a neighbourhood keep his garbage on your garden... Oh yes.. you have the police, they will act for me. But what when the police keep their garbage on your garden?
So now I have two examples.
Edit: We have another now:
I was graphic designer. I don't want it any more as I wasted half of my life and health trying to survive making things with all of my honesty for a world without honesty. Now I work for my own satisfying in graphism, painting and drawing.
Art is essentially a language. I can communicate with another artist because I understand his language. For the same reason you can find in language the slang and you will find crude art from vulgar people with no taste at all.
Art is an armament, like music for humans, we employ both to threaten other groups. It can hurt, can join, can identify itself with religion, politics, war, social movements.
Art is money. An investment for ignorants and anonymous corporations in pictures of great masters who died in absolutely misery.
Art is loneliness and silent effort of the creator, much more harder than people think.
Art is vanity, a social instrument. It is considered a cultural demonstration and all we want to be cults for the rest and belong to a cultural group.
Let's see an example of this vanity and ignorance:
(This is in spanish but for you to understand this is an experiment of a TV show that introduces a child made picture into the most important modern art exhibition of Spain to study the public opinions. Two girls say it's fine... a young man who says that there is a lot of complexity and reflection in the picture... two mature women say 15.000 € is not to much considering were is it.. a man who goes further and talk about the evident experience of the creator and a great sexual charge in the picture which belongs to a mature man without any doubt, the price is OK for him too. (I like this opinion specially because this man reflects the vision of himself as the artist).
I agree with you in many things but I want to mantain an eclectic discussion here. It's very difficult to argue with intelligence when you use another language. They speak about China when they say that there is not difference between capitalism and communism talking about money, the difference is the degree of intervention of the state in the economy.
Hugo Chavez (who I can ensure you is not welcomed here in Spain for nobody) have several assassination attempts per year, not as much as Castro for example but enough.
Are you american? Ah, canadian
A common issue we would find is this. I'm remembering one post here in funny pics section, with a world map representing the view of America about the rest of the world. Is not easy to explain to you (american people) the vision we have of you.
Let's put an example. You are now the first economy in the world even when you became to get some troubles. We (Spain) were the greatest empire in the human history with a strong economy and militar power too. Do you think is it possible without exterior interventionism? I would say no. I'm talking about discovering, conquer, expansion and winning some wars. When we talk about transnational companies we talk about the same. They say that it doesn't really matter if this companies are american, european, etc. We all are "suffering" it´s methods. You can't afford for a house and an american car in a good suburb like your parents did. The same here, with my father salary we were 6 sons, my mother and my grandmother living much better than today with a better qualified job to me. The same with most of the people around me.
I know you are about 300 million and you have all kind of people there but you have some fame of ignorants in general culture and humanistics, with an extremely introspective way of conceiving the world (this is the vision only). Some of my worst colleagues of school, some years ago, went to Miami to take their studies degree because it was much more easy there (and now). Of course you have fame to be very prominent in other questions, like technicians for instance. We were not surprised when the Kennedy Foundation puts the attention of near by 50 million of americans who didn't read or write during the Atlanta Olympic Games.
When we watch the news that came from you is easy to distinguish the schizophrenic psychopathology your country has about the rest. I'm sure that many people there ever could'nt imagine that someone hate you through the point of destroy 2 symbols of the economic imperialism like the 2 towers. I don't know if it was a conspiracy or not, you are right, it's very difficult to probe. It was the same here with the supposed Al Qaeda Spain Train Bombing in Madrid although you can find many links with the spanish police, the socialist party, etc., that finally forced the government change in the next elections and actually is silenced by the socialists.
It happened before in the American-Spanish war, after the Monroe doctrine, when the USS Main is sunked in La Havana for the own americans to start the war with Spain. Something similar with the Lusitania which finally was probed to transport ammunition and was employed to entry in the First World War. Again with Pearl Harbor in the World War II, all we know the japanesse plans were known by Roosevelt. And so on...
Yes, americans are not saints.
Anyway our cultures are influenced by yours. I love all your old Hollywood productions (hate most of the new ones). Our children loves Disney and we love penthouse centerfolds, apple, google, NASA, etc.
Now I'm 43 years old so I don't believe in utopia and the dream of capitalism for me is an utopia like many others. I'm not communist, I'm not "-ist" but I want to believe in people like John Lennon. Is it possible to be human in this society? Is it possible a better world? Are you sure this model can continue? Think in your sons or future sons.
Yes, when I finished to watch the film I said to my girlfriend: Well, don't believe all they said but don't discard all. Don't think technicians alone will do it or people will be liberated of work. But many things they said are completely true. What will you do? That's the question.

Marian,

"How will we do the passengers to want enter in?" They said at Fiat
hahahaha
Well done
So essentially for you this people is talking about a ficticius conspiracy, they are utopists and the solutions they are promoting are ridiculous, without any sense, isn't it?
I'm sure yours is one of the common responses one can adopt to this question. Let's wait for another point of view then.
Thanks
I want to share this with all of you.
First of all forgive my english and try to understand this post from a mature point of view, look inside your deep soul like a human being, with an independent thinking and if you find that there are many aspects in this documental that identify your sentiments, please give me your opinion.
I want to know for those who agree with most of its aspects if you could participate in some real actions to make possible a new world.
I'm not interested on criticism, nor hard discussing about it, I just want to know if people can take the reponsability of their thoughts and do something in reality. Can you change your life, the future, your world?
Probably many of you have saw it before:

The fade was intentional, I needed to make it very obvious as this image was used in a tutorial for matching cameras.
May be good for matching cameras but be careful with your matches living here.
There are some specific programs to do that. Probably you are on PC and I'm mac user but specially many photo-stitching softwares have the hability to correct linear and non linear perspectives automatically. The Photoshop method described above is OK too but with a little more of hand work.
You can take a look at some topographic GIS software too. There are a lot of open source programs to make orthographical corrections to aerial photos and perspectives that needs to play with earth curvature and camera views like you described so may be capable to transform cilindrical distortions. In fact, Google needs this kind of programs to construct most of their 3d maps. If you will need to replicate this process many times I think it could be a good solution as you can even process many buildings at the same time.
@unknownuser said:
A few links to programs you have used would be very helpful.
Autodesk is a commercial widely used and Grass is open source but some complicated to learn.
You can find some resources here:

I don't remember if you need to have installed "finder scripts addictions" but to get the path on mac just select the object > right mouse button, contextual menu > "More" > "File Utils" > "copy path to clipboard". Voila
Puaff
I can do it much better!
(It's a joke, hahahaha)
If you publish that Vue tutorials consider to do it thinking on the free version users please.
I was visiting your site, you have very good taste.
No Mac version, no worth
Anyway in a few years...
I will render like this:

Third party plug-in manager and new guidelines for developers where you can activate, verify version compatibility, show flash demo and developer info if available. Nomenclature or folder system for plug-ins to group them in your plugins folder to facilitate uninstallation when needed.
Parametric textures mapping
More primitives
Better 2D drawing tools and line editing
Nurbs surfaces
Specific light objects management
Basic modular functions system for non programmers to add basic dynamics to objects, similar to some multimedia applications. I mean flowchart based similar to Macromedia/Adobe Authorware. Third party developers can extend this modular library.

Thank you very much
