yeah i've always regarded the "D" as design.

good on you for not caring though, we get told not to use sketchup at uni, apparently it isn't "refined" or "accurate" enough (to name but a few slights my tutors have made on it)

one tutor, in the middle of a critique of my work, said that although my model was excellent, if i used sketchup again he'd mark me down. in his words "it's just not as sophisticated as, say a maya model would be"

my response: "the model is as sophisticated as the person moving the mouse"

needless to say i have used sketchcup ever since.

this is just one example of industry "snobbery" and in my eyes this CAD thing is the same kind of thing.

rant over!

interesting topic to bring up hazza, thank you!

Pav

with regards to the inspiration, yes it's very good, it's a maserati for gods sake.

with regards to what you have done, it's hard to tell, as it is nowhere near done.

hows about finishing it so this isn't such a waste of time?

Pav

as far as the acronym goes, sketchup is CAD.

where did you read that it wasn't?

Pav

he he, brilliant.

for more fun, please direct yourself here

it's gone way past parody and is now into the realms of the surreal.

the material just writes itself to be fair.

Dude, just post it when it's done,
we don't need to know about every single line you draw.

Pav

This thead is addictive for all the wrong reasons.
Waiting for the penny to drop still me thinks?

Pav

couldn't agree more solo, there are really nice.

Pav

whoa, dude, grab one of these...

sorry, couldn't resist!

Pav

a student with $2000 dollars to spend on software?

you lucky sausage!

there are loads on youtube, defo worth a look.

Pav

interesting.

Pav

why?

Pav

better to have a few decent comments than loads saying "nice" i guess though?

it's nice that bryce took the time to comment, don't know about anyone else, but i think it's really nice to know that the sketchup team are watching...he he

Pav

Isn't he too late though if they have already decided to help?

i know nothing of how the US government works, so of course i realise i could be wrong.

Pav

that's beautiful, thank you very much for sharing!

a render would be amazing seeing as it is modelled so well.

pav

i thought i read in the news today that the US government were bailing out GM, Chrysler and Ford?

Pav

you're welcome.

oh, that's how you reset, i just closed it and opened it again, i'm that dense.

let us know what bryce and sang think of it.

pav

it's official, you're a comic genius.

brilliant.
