Tade to the Ma,

Bring that.

Very steel for real action.

D the FH

Ladies and gentleman, brothers and sisters, friends, and all those in,

Modelhead's green Jack is a bird baller. Bring that action.

Jack it.

And onto Jacking it to the next.

Jack the power of myth is a the inside scoop on this entire JC documentary I've been percolating.

There is a lot of "fuel" on the web. Fuel for evolution and staying strong against the "Dimming gravity" of the universe.

I was all about the grays for so long, the meat puppets. Sure, I Jack bird feared them, not without good reason, but without a plan. I had no plan. Man it seems, has no plan, and that's what this Joseph Campbell Jack is all about waning us. Oh, just to let you know, you can't get hold of that old dude, as he's kick into the black void. No more sand painting.

At any rate, I've been just back from the brambles for a short while, and am more concerned and conflicted then I can recall -- unless I go way back to Jack bird "sand box land" -- back to getting that coffee can stuck on my head and cutting the bridge of my nose.

I've half a mind to start blogging as my sketch up platform seems very flat. Flat and sexless.

What happened? What Jack bird happened... That types out a good bit like a mans last Jack action words.

"Hey, you, hot legs there sucking on that Long Island, what Jack bird happened?... You want me to put some gum in your hair?"

Can't get much traction with that.

Gum. Digital gum.

Durant "fish it out with a coat hanger" Hapke

The tower.

Ladies and gentleman, brothers and sisters, friends, and all those in,

Got so off the road, almost stayed there -- rethinking the thoughts I thought mattered, and not such.

But I was feeling to out of orbit with the "real world" -- so just got back to the numbered teeth.

There's this cat on the PBS, Joseph Campbell Jack, and I caught him at this college bar, on the tube there, all sitting with coeds, and he was laying out this "every culture is into the same Jack bird action" and showing old school slides.

I think it was all called the Power of getting your Myth on, or something.

So, JC was saying that at the end of our days, chicks want to be cranky mothers in laws, and dudes just want to fish.

But, then he said that's all a cosmic lie, a strange bunch of crack from our inner selves trying to mess us up.

At the end of our Jack bird days, we what just what we wanted when we kicked the starter peddle:

Sex.

Sex, and lot's of it.

But, we feel all old and creepy about it, so we lie to ourselves.

Then he talked about sand art, not the kind you make in a bottle.

This got me back out of the weeds woods.

I have some lessons.

Ladies and gentleman, brothers and sisters, Friends, and all those in,

33.3 days in the wilderness looking up numbers.

33.3 hours writing them down.

33.3 beers to forget.

However, the Jack bird is boiling mad so the party should begin.

Durant "clip my wings" Hapke

A to the Media,

Very bring it.

Jack bird rock that meat puppet action.

Your a fire blast.

D the FH

Model to the Head,

Slam dancing dug dig your popping animated film action.

http://www.ibuildmodels.com/files/durant.html

Not at all Jack bird far from where I'm thinking I'm craving to head.

As for my deepening understanding of all things complex render... I'm smoking a big pile of mystery.

This as it is, I'm feeling growing lust -- growing heat -- and creative Jack hotness.

Upon cracking my first cold can this AM, I was treated to the following from the mind of Kink's Cobb Ape:
%(#4000BF)[Durant F,

Regarding the image Solo referred to (G), this was just me doing by hand what Deep Exploration probably did automatically to make the .STL, namely connect the dots. This is good, and yields the best results so far. His STL file has the cleanest subdivide, but still is not perfect for two reasons-

A. because it connects randomly, you end up with a lot of concentration of geo in areas rather than a nice even distribution, and
B. you also have it drawing across open areas, though less than before.

Problem B. can be solved somewhat by welding vertices, which ties down the corners, so to speak.

We are very close to a solution, much thanks to Solo. The main issue is getting a nice evenly distributed topology (closer to squares than stretched out triangles)

UV's are not ideal but workable - as you can see in the image, they're a bit random, but this can be adjusted (I can relax the problem areas to get more evenly distributed texture space).

Are you planning to come by the store today?

Andy
(Ape Cobb)]

That's the deal on that, and I'm Jack bird wanting to bring a flaming hose up into my models.

Regardless, AC is about bringing it now, and has these image churning out, I'm want to eat them.

The Jack bird last image is a freak show of love sex.

Durant "hungry fire" Hapke

B&S,

I like a fresh drink, oh, a tall one? Yeah.

Bring the Ape -- the Cobb Ape speaks.

First, the blue text in said attached image says:

%(#4000BF)[A -- Base model imported to Max

B -- Base model subdivided

C -- Model after automated cleaning in sketchup with plugin

D -- Model after manually correcting (here a word I can't read -- vertices per-hacks?) on multi-sided polygons to maintain quad construction

E -- Model with points connected (selecting all vertices and drawing connecting lines randomly)

G -- Model with points connected after subdividing (Improvement)]

Cobb of the planet of the Apes goes Jack bird on to say:

%(#4000BF)[Durant the F,

What we are getting into here is not a question of rendering it, it's a question of:

A. subdividing for added detail and imperfections (zBrush).
B. proper UV'ing (not just planar or box mapping)
C. being able to rig for animation (for rigid bodies, might not be a problem, but any deformation, like cables or accordion valves etc. would get to use your term "jacked up")
D. being able to cut the model in a predictable way (ex: for shattering or destruction simulations)

SketchUp is a great program. It's not the tool itself, it's how the model is built. Not being a primary user of SU, I can't speak to how it might introduce additional issues/problems, by creating co-planar faces or extraneous vertices.]

So, what? -- I'm guessing it's not a slam dance of a modeling practice issue -- not me or the way I model such action.

Oh, and there is this student over on campus who the Cobb Ape introduced me to who is going to write an article on me for some rag -- that I think I can get done with a lighter and a few brown bottles.

Durant "swimming away from shore" Hapke

PS -- And is the style, I blasted in "what the Jack bird" -- not the Ape.

B&S,

In way of clarification -- the images posted -- those of the landing hook in various actions, are from the Ape Cobb of Kink's -- not my doing -- nor do I fully Jack bird grasp their totality.

D the FH

PS -- Blue text is from the Ape Cobb as Jack word well.

S to the Olo,

Right on -- I'm thinking this is a party of who's doing the learning perhaps -- this DH or the Cobb.

I'm feeling like I need to be a smarter bullet.

D the FH

Brothers and Sisters,

Bring me a big Jack snow ball, and a paper cone.

Last of the punches is this bit of "what?"

Durant "I will go get serious about pouring now" Hapke

Brothers and Sisters,

Bring it the bird on Jack?

Oh, and make it a 3D jackal mechanical bird.

So, I'm about to pour a few for you all, and I do so wish I could e-mail them cold and all through to you.

At the close of the day, I trust in good will -- the support of the persons who are bringing it, and the freedom to do so.

The insight and thoughts are very much like quality Porn to this Jacking bird of pray.

What is Big Ape Cobb Kinko's all about doing for me?

This has yet to show up, but Ape Cobb is a quiet bundle of info, so I'm not always feeling I'm understanding what his action is all about.

Before I go there, what am I doing?

Ape Cobb is showing me some images that are like car engines floating in these strange locations, and yeah, some are really floating with animation.

They are turning and spinning with blur and some have fire coming out of them -- not much like a game, more like they are on strings -- very real -- lots of detail.

Bring that, I need a camel, and a new trip out the back to enjoy.

Bounce over here, Mr. Ape Cobb and click me up a storm of quality animation.

As clear as this, he uses Maya and some other zbrush, 3dsmax, and from what I under stand that ZboneBrush ain't playing nice with our boy SU.

So, I just want to have my action -- my models -- all floating around like that with some meat puppets perhaps or glossy curves all effected with heat waves.

Ape Cobb says, "No, go, SketchUp..."

I posted said model of "landing foot" for inspection as I felt it might be crack or built in a manner that was most annoying.

I have more from AC, but will need to make a call, and will be back.

Durant "the fire is in my head" Hapke

B&S,

Bring it in.

What the small blue lettering says is, "Single poly with many more then 4 sides."

Whatever the Jack -- I understand that this is a drag.

D the FH

B&S,

Oh, and this would be in Jack bird order.

D the FH

Here's the Jack bird file...

Brothers and Sisters,

Bring it and what?

So, the Kinko's connection continues to be a confusion feast of blubber.

Models breaking and splintering all over the joint, Jack bird can't slam dance to that action.

I've brought a test model bit of this sketchup action in the manner I most construct while smoking.

If one of my long time brethren would be into "checking the kinks" -- fire would ejaculate from my deepest glands.

As I've not posted said models on this joint before, I'm thinking I just did a small job in my digital pants bucket.

I was, or would be flipping such into a double sided action, but thought it would prove to be smaller to have a half berry.

What about that mad Jack bird mad eye candy crack helicopter action or that crazy Asian water front town -- how the Jack were those digital clumps rendered out like?

I'm loosing mental ground.

Durant "finger in my ear" Hapke

Brothers and Sisters, Masters and Wizards,

Bring it.

Many Jack action blasting bottles of "what a group."

Will post a file in the short.

Have a drinking engagement with Sir. Kink.

Will keep the Informed informed.

Durant "fishing zipper" Hapke

Brothers and Sisters,

Bring the bringing it.

What a week of... So, this dude I ran into a week or two before last, down at the local Kinko's was looking over my shoulder and getting all dance like.

He saw some of my sketch up action and we got to talking, which lead to Jack bird drinking and that's that.

But as we tipped brown bottles, we got into an idea that he would render some of my Jack action models in some of his killer programs.

I think he's all about that Maya action, but it could be three double zero Max undies, or V-Raygun or whatever.

The thing is, he is telling me the models from S to the KetchUp are all... NG... Not Good.

He's saying they are crap.

Do not bring that.

The issue at hand is that he really wants to give my Jack action a go, and it a very talented head -- I've seen some of his work and it's bubbly excellent.

What he is asking me about, or to do, is to see if there is a way to "best prepare my models" for rendering in other programs.

Bring that.

This Jack bird -- that being me -- D the FH -- is very careful to keep all the faces of my constructions heading in the proper direction -- this I know.

And I have been exporting OBJ files, that seem much better, but he said there might be even more we could do... Like weld faces? What the Jack bird do I make of that?

He said there might be some plug in's that are for exporting, or other programs that can open a Sketch Up model for "cleaning" it (like in the tub?).

Or, he said there might just be a list of steps somewhere that are all about the best way to get your model all clean and ready for "mapping and rendering."

Time to pour a double, this is what my head is looking for, more bubbles.

At any rate, if any of this makes some kind of master blasting sense to any of your big brains, I would entirely be Jack action into your full on perspectives and or advice.

Bring that.

And this reminds me, some good while back, I did get some happing input pertaining to ruby scripts, and that was very kicking kick Jack cool, but I may not have expressed "I'm about buying a round for he house."

Durant "my action is on in anthers Guts" Hapke

D,

Keep clicking, bring it and drink a big batch of bring it.

I'm all about your action.

Kill a killer kill kill.

Durant "I am a train" Hapke

Model H,

Regarding that bit of sputter, yeah, that's a bit of bring it -- bring the funk -- that as it is, is what I more or loss have a history in.

As a graphocologist I'm about hard sputtering, hard like I like the curves, perhaps that's what drew me first to sketch up action.

The meat puppet sketches I posted a bit ago, are the kind of Jack bird action I perform while under the influences of many a tall boy -- a mystic graphic and/or physical manifestation of my quest for the girl in green. You recall such?
*%(#400080)["... I woke up once, and found this lame student in the mirror, but the dude was working a con, and everything scared him.

He could make money, but didn't know how to spend it, and just as strange, could not conceive of the value of "now."

One day, while waiting for "what comes next," he "accidentally" and without warning, channeled a bit of the outer collective, and wrote an odd theorem on one of those subscription cards that always fall out from between the pages of Playboy -- he had a neat stack of said cards in the bathroom, in a drawer he kept his tooth paste in.

How he happened to have that card at hand?

A women on the card had caught his eye while he was foam grinding his molars before heading off to class, a women sporting green panties and a garter belt -- the kind of women, he would never date, talk to, or even meet.

So he's got a pen in his hand and this sad Jack bird smart lame dude, all worried about his GPA, his blemishes, his car, his hair, his shoes, watch, he writes on this Playboy prescription card the first meaningful thought he'd ever had:

Reality (God) = 00, & 00 = 2.

He read this over and over for the next twenty odd hours. Thought about it and where it came from -- had he read it? -- heard it? -- dreamed it?

He knew it had meaning, but it all escaped him.

As best he could, he pondered the swell of the women in greens intimidating rack -- the way the straps of her push up laced over her soft shoulders -- the subtle cleft they rendered in that creamy white skin...

Yeah, baby, 00 = 2.

Then I showed up and kicked his lame "insecurity feeder top" ass out of the apartment, I kicked him out of school, and I took the Playboy prescription card with his formula. I know what it means.

So, in short, I slam dance life for a living, brother, and try and remember not to be lame.

Durant "AC" Hapke

PS -- I see a women in green, you can be Jack bird sure I'm buying her a drink -- that's how double zed rolls..."*]

Brothers and Sisters,

Witness the fly hole into the gland zone.

We've all heard the line "Youth is wasted on the young," -- and that sounds so awful -- so hurtful -- but deep inside, in the dark all alone, we know this is true.

Spin me round -- Feel the frustrations...

Even if one denies this, it provides a hot spot of thought -- even reflecting on it now will likely bring "subtle nods" into your mind.

We learn in drinks and stumbles, best thing is to assume it's all just going to get harder and the questions more cataclysmic.

I'll drink to that and contemplate on .

Durant "fix the back door" Hapke

Oli to the Shea,

Interesting Jack bird dance coincidence -- if such a thing exists... Or can exist -- not in the "pathless path" -- that being the 78.

Bring that action.

For those not yet informed -- pour yourself a cold one and know tarot -- and yes the meat puppets have one -- have their own, but its number is greater then 78.

In regards to the construction of said sketch up endeavors, most of the time I do not "get into" sketching -- rather I drink and click -- randomness does not exist -- however -- the act of searching is the results.

All this as it is, I did attempt a sketch -- actually two sketches -- sometime back in the way back (not so long, a few years perhaps) -- that contained the seeds of the Queen of Cups Mechanized bed chamber.

Looking up at the right hand Jack action corner of attached note card -- at the end of the purple arrow I gleaned from a beer hammering this device of dream induction -- the Queen will not live here, but visit often.

Bring that and pour another tall and tight.

Truth as it is here, the sketch in question is not of the structure featured in the "standing water" image above, rather this is a document of the night caught I sight of a gray working his way stealthily towards the dreaming Queen.

It's easy to see the relationship between their flying craft and the symbol of the Cups -- here looking like Jack bird wine goblets -- bring that and drink an entire bottle.

The visitors at times display a kind of electrical charge, and often I find the number 22 floating over their heads.

This of course relates to the upper arcana -- the major cards -- the most, in my book informative.
