    • RE: Modern Sculpture Render

      Rendering is kind of flat, not sure exactly what it is...but I am still learning myself.

      I can't see any shadows for one thing. Maybe the angle of the source lighting.

      What are you using for rendering?

      I've seen that form before somewhere.

      If you want the hoops to be smooth, you can increase the amount of segments of your circles...I often bump up to 100 segments.

      Neat - interested in hearing your experiences/seeing what the ouput (or input) looks like.

      Sorry - picked the wrong veg/fruit number to answer.

      Meant - #8. Banana - don't think it comes canned, frozen, processed or cooked. But watermelon seems to fit that bill as well.

      Ha ha. Here is another "run" at that setup. I changed the viewing angle and added a bit then let it run overnight.

      So the squabble was over an engagement? πŸ˜†

      Okay - had to play a little more. I think the top of the chair is looking more and more like Cousin Itt.

      Usually listening to Howard Stern....really.

      Other than that "Altenative" and Rock. 😍 Had to bust out the RUSH after seeing a history of Rush on Paladium Monday night.

    • RE: Modeling Historical Buildings Standing and Not.

      Hey Jax...

      I have been thinking about modeling an old Depot in my birth town for a little while.
      I was getting ready to contact the local Historic Preservation after doing a few google searches to see if there were any plans on the building documented anywhere. Since they are looking at restoring the building it looks as if they had as-builts done, at least partially - and they are located on the Library of Congress website. Looks like a good starting place for anyone looking for historical documents.

      http://loc.gov/pictures/item/la0418/#step3

      I got lucky and was linked from this website that discusses the history of the building.
      http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/travel/caneriver/tex.htm

      Hope this helps in whatever project you are hunting down.

      I was looking to try this out to combine 3 large files.

      but...
      http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=7330

      Seems that the Tutorial has vaporized.

      Any ideas if there are any other locations that can give me an idea how to get around with this ruby?

      Thanks

      It looks like I can't update a live Poll. So hopefully "Other" will cover what I missed.

      Looks like someone updated it for you.

    • RE: Augmented reality!!Freewares

      I had a similar problem. I ended up giving up on them all together. It was nice that you could make your own markers, but for any large model it would offset the model from the marker point that it was unusable.

      Looks good, love the FotoSketcher. Haven't used it yet for a schematic image yet, but I am gaining inspiration.
