RE: A Fun Little Game, Continued...
Granted your computer is now a HAL 9000 series, much faster, but at the same time he is obsessed in finishing your work ( AKA the mission ), and the biggest danger to your work is you, so he constantly tries to kill you now.
I wish my avatar pic worked.

RE: Autocad from SU

RE: Seisatsu
bem, arqpadao é simples, tens que usar conceitos de geometria.
Ao desenhares uma caixa como um lago, vais defenir uma forma quadrangular como face do lago, ao olhares para esta face em perspectiva vais ver sempre um ou dois limites rigidos de essa face no horizonte que te vão defenir o rectangulo. Esse era o teu problema.
Nos estudios de Fotografia quando querem defenir um horizonte infinito por exemplo é muito comum terem um espaço em branco aparentemente infinito no qual colocam os modelos.
O truque usado é utilizar faces redondas, dentro de um cubo o teu cerebro consegue facilmente ver os limites do mesmo ao olhar para as arestas, se estiveres no interior de uma esfera por outro lado, torna-se muito mais dificil por não have limites claros.
Assim sendo se fizeres o teu lago com uma forma circular, (o fundo tb tem que ser) mais ou menos como uma colher gigante, vai ser muito dificil perceber o final do mesmo porque o limite do lago vai apresentar sempre o mesmo aspecto para o observador.
Espero que as imagens expliquem melhor.
( ja experimentaste em vez de sombras ter o reflexo do objecto na agua? )PS desculpa ter demorado a responder mas tenho estado ocupado.

RE: Cloud.rb update
Hi all!
I'm making a model of the roman forum, and i have found the geospacial data of most of its buildings on this site:
http://dlib.etc.ucla.edu/projects/Forum/geospatial
Is this the sort of data that this script uses? and can anyone help me with converting these into a skp file??
tks.

RE: London Heathrow Airport
Really good! You can even place some low poly planes to get the sense of scale ( william T has some nice low poly planes on the warehouse)
I only see one minor problem, the satellite pic on GE shows the airport under construction, so the buildings will look like they are in a midle of a war zone until construction stops and google updates the pics.
Keep us posted on your updates!

RE: London Heathrow Airport
Tks.
I too a look at the airport today with GE and the only word that comes to my mind is controled chaos. Is it still like that?
Your buildings look realy great. Are you going to make all the small buildings and acess corridors? -
RE: Bemvindos!
Oi a todos.
Sou um utilizador convicto de sketchup á 4 anos, com formação em Arquitectura e Urbanismo, confesso que não tenho participado no forum desde que o google o fechou, uma vez que estive ocupado a terminar o curso.
Vou tentar agora dedicar mais tempo ao forum por isso se precisarem de alguma coisa é só pedir.Abraços.

RE: Seisatsu
Oi.
Como desenhaste o lago? fizeste uma caixa e deste a textura de transparencia ou alteraste nos styles para por o terreno transparente? mando imagens de estas opções.
Quanto ás texturas altera-as e depois ainda com a opção de pintar carrega na tecla ALT cursor vai se alterar do balde de tinta de pintar para um conta gotas, depois com o ALT pressionado clica na textura que ja alteraste e queres copiar, ele vai ficar com esta textura alterada guardada na memoria, larga a tecla ALT para voltares a ter a opção de pintar e agora a superficie que pintares vai ficar com a textura com a deformação que deste anteriormente.
espero ter me feito entender e ter ajudado em alguma coisa. qq duvida mais diz.

Granted, you remembered to buy milk, but you forgot that you already had lots of milk at home, so to use all the milk before it goes bad you get a job as an office milk boy
I wish it was summer again so i could go to the beach

RE: London Heathrow Airport

RE: Tvrdja
looks really nice!
how long does it take to print a simple model like that? -
RE: Beach project, any ideas??
Hi all.
I would go with what Edson Mahfuz said, its a good idea to have themed places, but you have the risk of making weird places that look more like amusement parks attractions.
When you are doing tourist targeted places one of the most important things to know is what's the target costumers. Is it for old people, young people, rich people, poor people, international tourists, local tourists? all these expect very different things, and that will have a great impact on the project. For example international tourists expect to see more of the local culture, while some local tourists like to imagine that they are in other places.
My suggestion is to find your main target costumers and start from there.Hope this helps.

RE: Autocad from SU
Can you post some more clear renders so we can understand the design better?

RE: A Fun Little Game, Continued...
Granted. You are now immortal, and have all the time in the universe, but since you are immortal you don´t have and ending and a start, so you are lost without knowing where you are going to, nor where you came from.
I wish i could end all my unfinished projects!

Revolution in 3D
Hi all, i just wanted to share this video with the community.
http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=rEzugxybKmA&eurl=http://digitalurban.blogspot.com/
I guess that there is a revolution coming, when these 3D prints are available to every home, we will be able to print what ever objects we want, imagine that you break the battery cover of your cellphone, just go to the cellphone site and download the part you want then print it and ready to go! Your friend has an amazing Photo frame that you really like? ask him to send it in to you and print it, go to the IKEA site and check the freebies that are available for download, will this happen in a near future?
3d objects will be send by the web. Maybe in the future simple objects will no longer be produced in factories and bought, we will have them all free in places like the warehouse on the web.
And sketchup is the simple free 3D tool available for all homes so will skp be the 3d format of the future? -
