      Really nice render and look forward to next installment

      The model is nicely detailed yet subtle. Do you plan on constructing this or is it just a concept?

      Hi,

      Toxicvoxel recently post this link and i've found tons of great tutorials, but you need a basic understanding of photoshop to follow them.

    • How's your mother for spuds?

      Hi,

      I'm interested to hear from other members some expressions used, the more non sensical the better, that you use daily but wouldn't make sense to others.

      ❗ Please no profanities ❗

      For example:

      Greeting - "How's your mother for spuds?" (How are you doing?)
      Answer - "Up to her arse in stalks" (Very busy)

    • RE: GTA2SU

      That's a good find, I'm sure there will be lots of members interested in getting their hands on GTA models. It's great getting to poke around at game developers models to see the detail and care put into them.

      Thanks for sharing. πŸ‘

      Nomeradona,

      Thank you for sharing this site. It is extremely well laid out with great tutorials and textures. And, of course the renders are inspiring to those who aspire to achieve 50% of what you have managed.

      It has been bookmarked and I'm sure I'm not alone β˜€

    • RE: Difference Architectural Feet/In's Regular Feet In's

      If you really want to confuse yourself even more you should see how the meter was decided.....read on....

      "Some suggested defining the meter as the length of a pendulum having a half-period of one second; others suggested defining the meter as one ten-millionth of the length of the earth's meridian along a quadrant (one fourth the circumference of the earth). In 1791 the French Academy of Sciences chose the meridian definition over the pendulum definition because the force of gravity varies slightly over the surface of the earth, affecting the period of the pendulum."

      Seems sound enough.....but wait there's more....

      "The 1889 definition of the meter was based upon the artifact international prototype of platinum-iridium, was replaced by the CGPM in 1960 using a definition based upon a wavelength of krypton-86 radiation. This definition was adopted in order to reduce the uncertainty with which the meter may be realized. In turn, to further reduce the uncertainty, in 1983 the CGPM replaced this latter definition by the following definition:

        **The meter is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second.**
      

      So now you understand why inches and meters don't matter when using SketchUp, just have fun!! πŸ˜‰

      Hi,

      Those were worth the wait, especially like the last two.

      Are the streetlamps vertical light hitting a mirror?

    • RE: Airpod on a street

      Hi,

      Compressed Air Engines (CAE) is fairly old technology, but getting HP and torque from this is where the golden egg of Green transportation lies.

      forbes-compressed-air-engine_136.jpg

      As you see even just driving around you'll be somewhat refilling the tank but not enough that'll result in constant charge. From a safety aspect, sitting on a highly pressurized cannister compared with a tank full of fuel, i'd prefer the good ol' combustion engine. Fuel unless ignited is harmless, compressed air is like a bomb if ruptured.

      I'm sure they've factored in the containment of such pressure(300psi) but if you've ever seen a nitrogen or oxyacetylene cylinder blow a valve you'll know what i mean. They are like torpedoes.

      But i'm not disputing this ain't a positive step, it's innovation like this that is exactly what we need and with our Govt introducing a carbon tax next month, I might just have to drive my ass to work on wind power

      😳 excuse me 😳

    • RE: [Obsolete] TT_Lib (1.2.0) β€” 31 August 2010

      Hi Thom,

      Is this tool for those developing scripts or for users to manage plugins that incorporate this tool?

      Sorry for the dumbass question? But Ruby and me are like peanuts and chewing gum. We don't mix!
