Don't let this give you any ideas

Organic apples all the way

All apples are organic - so are all plants, animals and plastics.
(I get irritated by the 'organic' buzzword )

By the way, could someone please tell me what the hell I just modeled here? ...or at least point me the direction the rest of the chicken went?

It looks to me like something you'd find in an cough adult boutique cough.

Excellent! Between this and OOS I am going to save so much time modelling, thanks for all the hard work you've put in.

A friend of my dads has started working with the guy who makes these tables - there's some pretty clever mechanics going on in there - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKEOYfYQO08

Your best bet would be to make a seperate sloping face at the right angle and intersect it with the cube, otherwise, if you just rotate the top face up you will have to move the highest and lowest corners of the face so they are in line with the corresponding corners of the bottom face.

I'm pretty sure it's the mitochondria in all our cells that generate heat as they convert sugars into energy - heat is the byproduct, more energy is used by muscles so 30% of our heat is generated there. Friction in the body is bad - just ask my ankle joints

After a quick wiki-trip it seems that the idea of the heart heating the body is pretty old -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_heat

.. or connecting all the exercise bikes in gyms to the national grid - burn off calories and power the lights at the same time.

Saw this vid on another site - the ukulele orchestra of Great Britain - they are geniuses!

Really nice work - are you going to have some green spaces? maybe a roof garden or two.

Really nice detailing - are you going to add R2D2 to it?

My next guy - I've been helping out with a fan fic on another board making models from peoples character design sketches.

Model and the guys sketch in sketchup -

The artist suggested a few tweaks so I did them and made a basic render with Kerkythea -

Rodent?

that's the Decepticon Panther isn't it?

Yep, well - jaguar actually.

My next TF - again, fairly simple.

Ravage -

Here's one guy I made to help me learn this cool program - nowhere near as good as some of the robots I see on here, but one day ...

One way to reduce file size easily is - any sections of the model that are symetrical you can cut in half, make into a component and then copy/mirror the component to remake the original part.

Very nice, they look like designs from lord of the rings - they'd fit right in next to the Prancing Pony
