      Here is the breakfast scene. Plates, table, etc are designed based on the main "triangle" theme.blender_xjhoh7TLc3.png

    • RE: Potential for SU type interface for Blender?

      i.e. the pointer is lost when the Rectangle tool is working. Also, I have no clue if I must be in edit mode and then use pull/push or it automatically starts. By the way, I tried both and did not get any response, it says you must hover over a face and then use the pull/push tool, yet it does not work...

    • RE: Potential for SU type interface for Blender?

      I tried the script. It does create a rectangle, yet not intuitive enough. Rest did not work for me, but a good start.

      I reimagined everything, from the way they might work. collaborate, feast, and party, etc... to dishes and details. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to explain...

      Well well, we share similar approach. Yet about AI: if works based on logic! It now works like us, so if you ask it to design a futuristic car, it wouldn't go so far from the "norm". Let me explain: It will not design an ionic-wind-powered vehicle, nor a triangular/circular form as the base shape; the result will be a rectangle (in plan). While many "forces" that shape the cars nowadays (or in the near future) are different from what shaped the cars in the past; cars are sort of "developed "carts". a rectangular cabin for the passengers and a place for the driver + engine (instead of horses) bumpers to protect the "CAR", etc...
      We do not need drivers anymore so no need to stare at the road all the way long,
      we might talk together , enjoy sightseeing, etc.. so there is no "front" direction force...
      We need bumpers to protect "passengers," not the car... so they might be foamy, soft plastic materials, or energy absorbers such as sandbags, etc, nothing similar to today cars.... etc etc.... So yet we might think more creative if think logically and reimagine the design question.

      @L-i-am said in Urchin the Australian lunar village:

      Biomimicry is such a cool device for inspiration from nature

      Agreed if understood right. In many cases, it is just playing with forms (same misery with parametric architecture), nothing more, while we might be inspired by the forces that shaped those natural innovations. By "forces", I mean all chemical, mechanical, logical... forces that shape a phenomenon.

      I am planning to work on affordable housing for my PhD. The side reason entering such a challenge also is the same..

    • RE: Urchin the Australian lunar village

      Take it easy mates, here is the corner bar. So I also join the discussion...
      When I was a child, my grandma, had a small 2-rooms simple house with a detached smoked cooking room... yet a beautiful, Well planted garden... I would wish be architect to make a decent house for her. Unfortunately she passed away when I was at university, let alone that housing soared drastically so that I myself live in a rented house, have no idea when may own one.
      We do not have housing crisis but the prices have nothing to do with the income...$80k an average house and $400 a rather good monthly salary!
      Inflation also is so crazy that it is really challenging to save enough to keep the same rented place...very hard to save!
      I will reflect on mimicry later.

    • Urchin the Australian lunar village

      I spared some time to model and share my vision of the Australian Lunar Village. It would be much appreciated if share your feedback.
      All (almost all) is done in Blender 3D, based on sketches and simple SketchUp models developed in Blender 3D.

      Thank you, mates, for your kind words. I know that there are plenty of spots to be developed and improved. But the goal was to show the process (at least partially) from a rough sketch on.

      I would like to see some 3D models based on these sketches.
      For those of you who prefer having the physical version of the book, can grab it from Amazon: https://a.co/d/5YvA6m2
      Here are 3D forms based on developing former 2D sketches.
