Thin end of the wedge is an understatement. what will humans do? perhaps go into a simulation and create your own worlds of your liking when Musk and Zuckerberg put neural net and Meta technology together

I hear you, I am petrified, that's why I posted. Imagine a (for instance) company like trimble /sketchup potential having a product that is rendered worthless overnight because you can use a free version that does the same thing coded by AI. I think it will cause economic mayhem this is not evolutionary it is virtually instant an unprecedented. scares me but will not stop me from learning it. It is not that anybody could stop the evolvement it is inevitable and the effects on the world economy will change overnight with no precedent. Shivers. It is not just creatives will be impacted like admin will be hit hard as will law. I think the only job to survive will be basket makers. On another side what will become of the human race will we need to put our kids to school, will human training and understanding what will we become, redundant? I have suffered prostate cancer and AI did the diagnoses...................................

This is part of the answer

I just asked this question "could you wright a script to do 3d modelling program perhaps similar to Blender open source and simplify it with functionality to the SketchUp interface" and I got a positive answer

Hi guys I just did an experiment asking AI to do a ruby script for me to use in SketchUp. It I did not notice but I think it did it in less that 8 seconds, scary stuff

Yes it is close to me

Thanks Dave, the problem is not the shape, I would simply take a front on image and do the profile in SU, quite easy. It is projecting the graphics, without parallax error

Hi I have a large Chinese vase as shown. I wish to turn it into a lamp. I wish to model the Vase in order to check how it will look as a vase. Is there any practical way to do this (Vase with graphics. Obviously I could scan it but I don't have a scanner. I realise there are some mobile apps but not sure about the quality.

Any thoughts guys?

NIce work mate and it looks like Rayscaper is maturing well

@Rich-O-Brien What AI do you use for that?

I saw this image and I thought it would speak so many After i took up SU I would look at other peoples renders ant thought "I will never be smart enough to render like that"And that was in the years of Kerkythea

I feel so angry at the US "medical system" always have, coming from Australia the concept of medicine for profit is Alien. Thing is each individual in the US costs about twice much per capita to the US government $10,000vs $5.000 in Australia and you live 4 years les on average

Type one or two diabetes?

Hey Gus, takes a big leap to reach out for help but sometimes it is needed. I have had some complex medical stuff. I hope the US medicaid comes through for you. Best wishes mate

you can convert SketchUp's SKP files to Blender. You can either use the built-in SKP importer in Blender or export the model from SketchUp in a compatible format like Collada (DAE), OBJ, or FBX, then import that into Blender.

One thing that is an issue with this arch vis work is that there are companies like fiverr etc,that is a multi national site. There are with a people that do modelling, rendering graphic design, logo design etc, etc. There are thousands of them. Some of these people will work for very little money and will do a project for the equivalent of 5 dollars an hour, And they are making money where cost of living is so low and the exchange rate is very favourable. Then there are agents working in most countries like Australia an Australian company, where you can go to the agent and get a SU model of a house for 450 Aussie dollars. They have subcontractors from Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh etc that will supply SU models for around a hundred dollars.the Australian company will quality control the model and on sell it for $450 AUD. The people in the aforementioned counties are living well and no reasonable person could blame them.

Thanks Rich, I now do not have to go down that rabbit hole. much appreciated

Hi all. I am working on a very complex sports pavilion for a paid job. I have been reading building plans forever, but this drawing is causing me issues and I find the drawings hard to work with for some reason. I thought about asking ai if AI could build me a model from construction drawings. This is my reply by chat gpt. Has anybody else tried this before?

@pilou Thanks for that very good recommendations. How did you learn prompts. Is it trial and error or is there a beter way to educate myself with prompts?
