    • CaptureFox Extension for Screengrabbing

      Hi,

      I discovered this Firefox AddOn today and felt maybe members would find it interesting.Here's a Video of CaptureFox in action. You'll have to forgive the background noise, she's watching Law and Order!!! 😳

    • RE: Model this: 3D Connexion Space explorer

      'Model This'

        or
      

      'Tear Your Hair Out This'

        or
      

      'Make Your Eyes Bleed This'

      I'd prefer to stick to the 'Symmetrical' shapes, to go from Cheese Grater to Complex Mouse to Chaotic Thing is a little off putting IMO. I really like these threads and want to learn and submit as much as i can.These first two challenges offered great insight into others workflow and techniques which made them not only challenges but tutorials too.

      But if others feel unchallenged i understand

    • RE: Newbie rant?

      Hi Craig,

      Attached is a simple model that illustrates how 'Orientating' faces incorrectly sends SU a different message than what you think you are sending it.

      Just tab through each scene.....

      Mixed Faces.skp

      I hope this helps explain how it works and why you have issues when modeling πŸ˜„

      That's incredible. This has been an excellent challenge and every approach by members has been eye opening.

      I've struggled on this one and can make no excuses other than my user level. I'm gonna keep trying but don't think I'll make the grade.

      Thanks to those who've invested their time to show others how truly skillful organic modeling is.

    • RE: Model this: 3D Connexion Space explorer

      VPP could be Vector Push Pull from. Joint Push Pull plugin as for SSB, I thought itwas for Subdivide and Smooth but now you mention it I'm stumped

      excellent modeling Adam BTW. Really innovative thinking

      @Gaieus

      maybe you can write a Ruby that tells Firefox to tell the Addon that it is 'special' Zip file that needs to carefully placed in the 'Plugin' folder then Unzipped oh so gently πŸ˜‰

    • Clever Firefox AddOn

      Hi,

      Found this today

      https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4781

      It allows you to dictate where downloaded files go according to site address or file extension

      I set mine up to download .rb files directly into the 'Plugins' folder which is pretty nifty IMO

      Thought i would share with members who might not have heard of it (not sure if it is available for Mac Users)

    • RE: What do your family and friends call you?

      Rich for Family (Richard when there's trouble afoot!!)

      Rob for Friends (it's my initials)

      Robber for work colleagues (employee# ROBR1505)

      To follow on from Mikes Irish translation, mine is Risteard (Reesh-Tard) meaning 'High King'

      Unfortunately no one bows before me nor do i wield any power.
