perhaps not as good an idea as i originally thought

i like it CADrex, altohugh i reckon it could do with a bit less thickness. seems youve got the transparency and texturing pretty spot on thoguh.

hmmmm, that certinly sounds like a bit of a problem, what os are you running?

that is of course only if acad doesnt work...

i tihnk your best bet would be to consider usign virtualisation of some sort tom, ive used http://www.virtualbox.org/ before, and it work pretty well, its relatively simple to set up and works well when you get it going, the only problem i had was sharing files between the virtual machine and the real machine. this has probably been solved, though, as i as using it over a year ago.

sorry to revive such an old topic, but i reckon i should just finish it off, and seeing as not many people submitted models, everyones a winner!! well done everyone.

that is the best picture ive seen created by SU+whatever else.

regarding the shadow bug, they fixed it in v4, but thn had to remove it in v5 and v6 because the method used was copyrighted by some japanese(?) company, and they dont even use it!! seriously

any photos caught your eye recently? show them here...

i'll start:

not that ive tried, but i imagine you could have some problems, windows xp 64 bit was only released in 2003, so autocad is unlikely to work properly without a bit of fiddling.

very nice, i take it it's a combination of xray and styles?

nice, like the way youve got all that stuff on the roof knd of hidden in the shadows, makes it seem a lot more realistic, gives it a bit more depth as well.

i dont think theres any way you can force a pink inference, but if you do get inferencing on pink, you can press shift to lock it, might help.

im not a mac expert, but i imagine it has soemthing to do with file association, i.e. your computer sees .stlye/.rb and thinks "its a film, open it with quicktime."

id guess you need to change the file association, but i dont know how youd go aobut that on a mac.

i imagine didier checks how many times each file has been downloaded through a feature that is not publicly viewable.

feel free to correct me anyone, but as far as i know, fat faces are basically solids, so not made up of lines and faces, as is the case for everythign else in SU.

hahaha, 'all i ask for is NURBS', you make it sound so easy solo not that i know anything about programing...

very nice, i especially like the little 'e' badge.

greentoaster, youve come so far! i really must try and learn some of the things your doing here, maybe then i could start making models that are closer to the quaity of yours.

a i missing something as far as i know you can do that already, just right click the image go inot entity info and turn of 'recieve shadows'

nice model, really liek the detail youve gone to. you gonna do a render?
