    • Single group to multiple groups

      Hi, I know this has been asked before but I can't find the answer.

      I want to take a rectangular group (barrier rail) and break it up into multiple random groups so I can drive a truck into it with msphysics.

      My own version of crash testing a bridge barrier rail for a presentation. (The idea is for the rail to fall apart where the truck hits it.) I tried convexify but it doesn't work on a basic shape.

      Thanks!

    • Merch by Amazon

      Hellooo, I just recently got approved to sell tshirt designs on Amazon! You ask to be invited and then 2 to 8 months (in my case) later you get accepted. You start out at 10 tshirt designs, if you sell 10 shirts, you move to 25 designs, then 50, etc. You can only put up one a day and so far I have four designs up.

      I have been using sketchup to make some of the designs and I thought maybe you would like a look? (I believe these are only available in the US?) I like the idea of passive income streams and hopefully I can put up some good designs.

      Thanks!

      The word for October was "Fright"

      Here is the website for the contest.
      http://drawthisfright.blogspot.com/

      I think this will be my last contest, I just don't understand how they judge the winners.

      These are the winners. (My entry was a robot of course. )

      (drawthisswift.blogspot.com)

      I would be interested to hear who you thought won this time?

      These are the winners, what do you think? (Am I a sore loser for wondering how they pick the winners.)

      Kristen Adam , Carrie O'Neill

      So I put all my Bridge Building robot books on

      http://www.bridgerobots.com (all Free downloads)

      If you have comments I would like to hear them. Like I said, I think further books are on hold until I can figure out what to do next....

      The word for the next "DrawThis" contest is "swift". I may enter a watercolor instead of a sketchup image?

      Thanks!

      Thanks Bryan, I will keep working it.

      Here is a coffee break watercolor. Made the rough idea in sketchup, painted a vanilla version of it.

      Hi Bryan, the books are okay. No big sales yet, I think my style is soooo different from the soft focus illustrations typically found in children's books. It is really tough to break into the market.

      Here is a rough copy of my latest book. It might be the last one for a while until I figure out how to market my stuff.

      Pirate Spiders of Lars (best viewed full screen)

      Oh well maybe back to watercolor. Thanks for asking!

      The winners of the August contest were

      Nancy Lemon
      Kirk Parrish

      Tried a different style for my "Royal" entry. (I was going to make it "with cheese" but I doubt they would get it.)

      My entry is waaaayyyy different from everyone else.

      The winners have not been announced yet and I wonder how they are actually chosen?

      I was going to enter this one but my wife thought it was creepy.

    • RE: Bridge Robots in Space!

      Somebody bought a copy of my books, NieKo and No Bridge! No Fair!, and it propelled me to the best sellers list in Bridges!

      Bridge related books must not sell very well! 😆

      Thanks for buying my books!
