Jus amazing work, what is your workflow and does it involve AI?

I am trying to download models from 3D warehouse when I download model into my main model when I do that it bug splats my file. So instead of down loading into my file I open 3D warehouse it says download blocked so obviously I get no download. if I shut 3D warehouse down and open it again. sometimes it lets me download 1 item and then "download blocked"

The 2 thing a prob not connected. any ideas?

Hi Guys< take my word for this please. I came up with a scenario on what Trump and musk are up to (above post) I posted that post 6 days ago coincidently, as this video was released 6 days ago, but I only found this in my YT algorithm about an hour ago (I swear) This guy has brought up almost the exact scenario. What i saw in trumps is that his actions are exactly what you would need to do to tank an economy, I saw the pattern very, very clearly. Then I saw this Video I was so shocked as in the back of my mind I was questioning my metal health, I posted the the question to an AI bot. It said the concept above had possibility. But also pointed out that there would be checks and balances in place within admiration. I wounder maybe trump is trashing and gutting institutions as a smokescreen that he is also getting rid of those that do these "Checks and balances" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1OLNnRRAC4

Having a quick look, Materialize seems to be free, open source. Worthy of a look at least.

Thanks Mike

@pilou I want one, I need one

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich are any of your suggested app's free?

The thing is HOW it is done rather than it being done at all.

Sidling up to putin and dumping on just about everyone else does nobody any good.

Yes How, I am in totally aware of the deficit and how much the US owes. It is not sustainable. But you do not solve anything by tanking the economy. and making enemies of friends. loosing many billions of dollars on the sale of the F35 peoples are considering the Swedish Grippen. And I will bet my bottom dollar on the world will stop buying Boing and buy the Airbus. Us has a great need for aluminium for the boing imagine the price of a 737 with a 25% tariff and the aluminium component. What about putting 25% Tarif on a rolls Royce engine?
Absolutely crazy, full on crazy. Bloodbath for the US economy, bloodbath and the repercussions will hit us all

Went to the market to buy Mandarins a few days ago and the were grown in the US, I bought oranges

I am doing my second paid job for the same client (local government) . It is a complex sports pavilion. The Architect is talented but has "brick fever" and has 12 very different bricks in one building. I am trying to get in touch with the right people within the brick manufacturer to see if the have textures on their products. If not, how could I produce the textures myself? I have even considered doing the bricks in geometry, like Lego blocks. The 3d images below were just block sketchup model was by the architect. They asked me to build the model from the Construction drawings is a proof of concept exercise

Hi Guys, I have been given a job to model a local government sports pavilion, The roof has me pretty scared I have attached an image or 2 that was done by the Architect it is a block sketch so not suitable for a render. Anyway my main point is that I am required to build the very complex design. Additionally I will be required to produce some high quality texture. I have attached an image of some of the bricks (there is actually 10 different types of custom bricks which is scary. Anyway I am trying to contact the brick makers and am awaiting a call to see if they have the textures for my needs, but I am thinking they may not have them.

Could somebody please let me know how to produce the textures myself using some app, or even AI. I can easily produce normal maps but the tiled primary tenure is what I am concerned about. I could get them done on fiver but that does not always go well in communication issues, I have ven considered doing the bricks with geometry but am unsure about the file size.

Any suggestions/ advice please?

@pilou The plexi glass on that render is so absolutely convincing, amazing

@pilou Ah OK mate

@Mike-Amos No he is a maga

Thing are happening with Trump now

He is moving is to lower taxes for the very wealthy, Remember Bezos and musk was up on the podium with Trump when won,

I propose that all trumps moves are designed to tank the US economy. It all seems too tactical to me. what if the plan is to tank the economy and the Shares ( I think market loss is minus 5 Trillion dollars so far if it (which it will) billionaires like Musk, Bezos, Trump and others can buy short stocks wile the market is tanking and buy stocks at Rock bottom prices and invest in there own companies. Economy rises they will have a much bigger share of these Companies.
They will be trillionaires not billionaires. Trump is trying to stop Trump haters and jail them in Minnesota the are trying to pass a bill called "TDS" . It means "Trump derangement syndrome" Sounds like I am joking? (Look it up)
Even though there is no medical evidence. If passed this bill will enable the US to consider anybody who stands against trump to be arrested and put them in a "mental Institution"
If that is not ringing alarms I do not know what will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my theory not something cut and pasted from youtube or whatever. I am not saying thsis is true, but honestly when you put the pieces together

Anything you want to debate? Seems like you think you know a lot about geopolitical economics?

@B2Pi Any thoughts on my reply?

Very nice renders

plexyglass armchair or armchair plexyglass can be sufficient

Hey pilou, sorry not sure want you mean

I am both wowed and sad at the advent of AI. Those images are soo cool at the same time. Ai bothers me a lot but I think quantum AI and quantum is so scary. rightly or wrongly or rightly there are some reports that a computer (I think it was microsoft) was answering questions, before they were asked The physicist thought it was a temporal shift. I need to point out that the idea of a temporal shift is not one that I think that is true and I cannot find anything to support that. But big changes are ahead very soon and the world will be very different and very likely irreversible. In the past things changed quite slowly so we could adjust but with Ai and quantum computing that is not the case. I think about this,very shortly there may be a situation where one government could say destroy country "X" The answer " I could remove any money that country has in anyone's bank account ,including the Government and businesses" Thank you, how long would it take you to do that? answer fro AI "7.45 seconds"............................chilling!
