Yes, it is. Before the movie was shown on theaters they created this fake website of the corporation, which is hilarious. http://www.buynlarge.com/NewsCenter.html

I just made a test with a .3ds file and yes, if you follow the wizard it has an option to recover stuff deleted from the Recycle bin. Unfortunately, it only shows the DOS names of files deleted from the Recycle Bin. BTW, the .3ds file was perfectly readable by SketchUp after recovering. [image: 8GeQ_Captura.JPG]

Nice!!! Nice!!!! Thanks 4 the info!!

apologies james, I hadn't seen your post and posted a link in another thread. It is interesting stuff

Have you the same in Orange? [image: GSt1_Orange.jpg]

Ahhhaha.. what a great video. Thanks dude..

I could be wrong but I am under the impression that as long as your app. can be run from a networked hyper terminal (not sure of the name), that the virtual graphic adapter is not a problem. Currently, a memory stick containing a VPC compatible virtual drive loaded with its own OS and app, will run on any machine that has a VM that can access that virtual drive. Not bad for a first step. With multi core hardware, even overhead will be less of a problem with speed. In any case, running a Win98 app. on a new machine will be faster then then it originally ran.

I do medium to large residential remodel projects, I use Cadsoft Envisioneer, have for quite a few years, since version 3, at the time I think it was $995.00 USD. Version 5 came out last year, it's now available in three different packages from $795-1795. It's has a pretty small learning curve, decent 2D drafting tools, comes with a basic builtin renderer,the biggest con is that it doesn't live update from model view to paperspace but this is suppose to be coming,the biggest learning curve and time spent was setting up the BIM catalogues for my use. I think its the perfect way for a one man show or small firm to get into BIM without breaking the bank. Here's a link, http://www.cadsoft.com/ . But I sure have been using SU alot more lately Mike

I'll share another piece of bloat-free software I re-discovered today thanks to Fletch: The XviD codec. I tried it today in Windows 7 instead of what I usually install (DivX) and I must say that it's a LOT smoother than DivX when you are editing video, and it reads DivX-encoded content without any problem. With DivX, fast-forwarding and jumping to a specific point while cutting videos together or while synchronizing subtitles was a pain in the neck, but XviD runs smooth as a hot knife in butter. (And I recently wasted $ in upgrading my DivX license... ) Here's the link to download XviD for Windows: (Sorry, OSX, there's no XviD build for you) http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html Tip: if you plan to save your sequences for further edit in Windows Live Movie Maker or any other editor, it's best to set an i-frame (or keyframe) every 30 frames. This will make seeking to a point and rewinding even smoother. To do this, Click the "more" button next to the General Purpose quality preset, [image: naoq_01.PNG] Say yes in the next dialog, and enter a maximum i-frame interval of 30. [image: dUv7_02.PNG] As I said, do this if you plan to further edit your video, as this way it will be faster when seeking.

we have a saying in the rugby team i'm a part of solo, which might be of interest to you. "when it comes to alcohol, spillage is lickage." i've actually had to 'hoover' up a most of a beer off of a pub floor when someone knocked my drink out of my hand. pav

@d12dozr: I consider the time I spend in these experiments and solving other people's questions as "training". @Rocky: This girl is the only animated character I've been able to find, so you'll be seeing her a lot until I learn to rig and animate my own. @Richard: The dancing log at the end was really odd, but then again I often get similar oddities with SketchyPhysics. @David_H: Let's hope "SketchyPhysics 5 - Monster Truck Madness" features car damage. Thanks for the comments. I think I'll drop by the SP forum, as I still know next to nothing about it, except how to make things crash. The girl was animated by phonic, a Japanese guy who is a sheer genius.

there are new versions out .2c and .4c and they still aren't working with win7??????????????

The colour cube one reminds me of a DC jim made, does pretty much the same thing and looks similarly cool.

@tig said: @fletch said: here's the 'final' where I used the logs. thanks again Miguel! Had I know the intention you could have had these...[attachment=1:rtt0x3zm]<!-- ia1 -->logs.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:rtt0x3zm][attachment=0:rtt0x3zm]<!-- ia0 -->logs.skp<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:rtt0x3zm] wow! 2 gifts in the same thread! Thanks a ton, TIG! You can see the 'final' image in the House and Pool thread (using Miguel's logs, I didn't see your component here 'til just now.

very useful.. thanks.

Thanks for the tip, William. However, what I was looking for was a way to apply this to thousands of images in a short time, and so far Irfanview via the command line has been the only effective way.
