Rich, any chance you could update this extension so one could preset / assign which layer you would like the anchor points to be placed on?

I just had a look at my Okino setup. I have the Granite pack, but apparently that is only for importing, which is what I've used it for. Sorry, but then I can't help you..

Reminds me of the game F.E.A.R., I think your room might be cleaner, though.

D'you think they might publish Best Player results on WikiLeaks?

That's great, I can imagine how much fun you have with it I've used the commercial 3D print bureaus, so the design process is a bit different since you don't have to think too much about support material like you do in some cases with the smaller printers. Back on topic, I can see browser-based programs like Shapesmith becoming a good alternative to downloadable software like Sketchup in the next few years. All the same benefits(and drawbacks, to be fair) as other programs that live in the cloud apply: no need to worry about program updates, installation issues, and so on. Here's a short writeup about Shapesmith from Fabbaloo. Tinkercad recently snagged a USD $1M investment, so the interest is definitely there, but for now, Sketchup and this community still makes the most sense for me.

One note about comparing compressed image formats: the content of the image will give different results for the same dimensions. So its not as simple as one format being always better than the other.

Hmm lot's of room to get creative with

First tests, nice tool For me, a precise brush is missing, but many wonderful effects are available. The free service is may be a bit too short [image: thPsykopaint_001.jpg] [image: thPsykopaint_002.jpg] [image: thPsykopaint_003.jpg] simon

module ROB menu=UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("BBcpts"){self.bbcpts()}unless file_loaded?(File.basename(__FILE__)) file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__)) def self.bbcpts() ### paste the main code here... end end Copy/paste the code into a file in the Plugins folder called ROB-bbcpts.rb Usage: type ROB.bbcpts OR pick "BBcpts" off the Plugins menu etc...

It'll work with Firefox too; but you need to use the Google search bar or be on the iGoogle page. Askew works the same as Tilt.

@unknownuser said: You can get it here... http://78.47.159.221/CatchUp_5_2011_10.pdf You can get all editions here... http://sketchucation.com/catchup/ Thanks for the link, it appears to have been a firefox issue: I had just upgraded from 3.6 to 8, so a lot of my plug ins and extensions weren't updated yet.

Poor bugger; http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-10/jobs-died-at-home-of-respiratory-arrest-tied-to-cancer-1-.html Memorial service this Friday; @unknownuser said: Team, Like many of you, I have experienced the saddest days of my lifetime and shed many tears during the past week. But I’ve found some comfort in the extraordinary number of tributes and condolences from people all over the world who were touched by Steve and his genius. And I’ve found comfort in both telling and listening to stories about Steve. Although many of our hearts are still heavy, we are planning a celebration of his life for Apple employees to take time to remember the incredible things Steve achieved in his life and the many ways he made our world a better place. The celebration will be held on Wednesday, October 19, at 10 a.m. in the outdoor amphitheater on the Infinite Loop campus. We’ll have more details on AppleWeb closer to the date, including arrangements for employees outside of Cupertino. I look forward to seeing you there.

When one comes to think about it. Apple have stealthily been taking a very large chunk of the pocket digital camera market! They have never really pushed the camera aspect of the iPhone just supplied the goodies and have now upped the anti! http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/21/iphone-4-most-popular-camera-on-flickr/ Reminds me of the story of the antique dealer hearing about a very valuable painting in local house. He concentrated his buying efforts on a mediocre antique chair and offered to pay the asking price which was away over the odds. He then asked that the painting (his real target) be thrown into deal for a few quid as clincher! The owner did so as he was focused on getting the outrageous price for the chair. If the dealer had targeted the painting firstly he would not have got it cheap!
