I'm a sweaty nervous wreck.

It's been great so far. Bl**dy exciting.

I gotta shower.

Deleted. Double post again.

Belgium look alot better than Brazil so far.

Hmm, dunno about that. Brazil's defense seems much more solid than ours does.

The thing with this Belgian team is, they can win from virtually anyone -they've got the talent- if they can muster the will to do so.

Double post. Deleted.

Martinez sure beats Wilmots. I love Wilmots, I really do, but as a coach, he sucked.

Scifo, Rich? Showing your age, aren't you?

Personally, I don't think we'll win. But I do hope our boys will give it their utmost best. (If they don't, we'll have them banished to Belgium's Antarctic base, with nothing to read but whitepapers on voxel rendering.)

Beating Brazil, however, that'd be something. If that happens, Pete will hear me screaming all the way across the pond.

Seriously looking forward to it. Quite curious to see what Martinez has cooked up, tactics wise.

Who's that one guy (or gal) who voted for us?

So ... who do you guys think will win tomorrow night's game? Brazil or Belgium?

As a Belgian, I'm rooting for the Red Devils, obviously, but I'm not altogether sure our defense is going to hold.

Also, we're Belgium.

Still ... ought to be a decent game!

They are an offering to the satanic death cult that is FIFA.

Thx.

As the title says: stuff.

So, we could reverse all this discourse and say: why aren't the other 3d modellers intuitive like sketchup?

Because those are capable of doing complex stuff. Stuff that just isn't intuitive.

As per hipster law, I hereby include a picture that adds a certain ironic je ne sais quoi to my -obviously insightful- comment.

Joking, Chipp, joking.

Times change. Products evolve. People's needs evolve.

Sure. But whatever companies do with their products, is their prerogative. The opposite is socialism, isn't it?

Sorry, Chipp. I couldn't resist.

Yeah ... it is indeed. I understand the frustrations, believe me, but if there's anything I learned using Modo, it's that SketchUp, limited as it is, is really good at basic architectural modeling -and fast,too.

It can be an annoying bit of kit, at times, but it's not very likely I'll ever stop using it.

nom de sketchup

Elegantly put, mr. H. Keep on billin'.

My 2 cents as a non-professional …

I too have cursed SU many, many times over the course of the years for its inability to cope with high poly models. Loudly, even.

And then the spirit of the Buddha touched me, and I thought: why not love it for what it can do, rather than hate it for what it can’t? Since then I’ve basically used SU as an archviz modeling plugin for Modo. I get far less headaches that way.

Sure, it’d be great if I could do everything inside of SU, but honestly, I’m fairly confident that’ll never happen.

I want me some consultants, too.

That Google translation isn't bad at all. Amazing, really.

Luc, doe maar wat TIG zegt. Hij weet waarover hij het heeft. Laat weten of het gewerkt heeft. Prettig weekend.

Luc, just do as TIG says. He knows what he's talking about. Let us know whether it worked. Have a nice weekend.

Luc, het zou handig zijn als je je van het Engels bediende. Zo maak je aanzienlijk meer kans dat je probleem opgelost geraakt.

Oh You sweet talker... I always knew you wanted to get your hands on my buns.

Don't believe him when he tells you he loves you. He does that every time.

'Adjective', not 'adverb'. Thank you, Rich.

On topic: do some more! I also enjoyed the dinosaur one.
