I too am burdoned with the cursed tax return.

IKE REPORT Day 3: I had to get up today and help ma dad wit this lady whos tree fell on the neighbors truck. Everything ended for the best with the truck without a scratch but a bent antenna. we chopped the tree up pretty good and i got paid pretty good. I think todd hasn't answered yet becuz of the power shortage all we cAN do is wait to see what happened to him and his home.

You are too kind. Thank you!

Nice collection, cheers Todd

Cool... Great to see SU used this way... And a very nice site indeed... (just saw it's made using Swish Max... ) Back at the old SU Forum, there was this other guy who also used SU for making virtual sets prior to actually building them... Can't recall his name, but it was pretty impressive and fun to see... And if I remember correct, a lot of the scenes and camera paths in 24 are made in SU prior to real takings...

Todd Your presentation was one of my favorites. Your sense of humor is an asset for a presentation. Too bad you could not have passed out Stromboli to the audience but then no one would have wanted to leave. I'll upload more of my photos from 3dbc soon.

Although I missed the Tuesday meeting, I have had a good time talking to some of you forum regulars. As for 3d Basecamp, no breaking news yet about SU7.There is a very positive energy flow about the event, mainly about getting together and talk about SU, almost to the point that some of the presentations seem to have taken a backstage. The SU team has been very accomodating and gracious hosts. The Googleplex is huge and seems like a good place to work, filled with perks (food, massage chairs, food, toilets that whash and dry you, more food, snacks) Khintanar

@plot-paris said: for example, I copy(move) an object and type in the distance (lets say 50), then hit enter. but if I want to move it only one third of the distance I just type in 50 / 3 and the object is moved one third of 50. the same could work when drawing geometry like a line. The only problem with the VCB is that it does not work when you have decimalsin the numbers For instance, if your unit is Centimeters and you type in the Line tool: "50.0/3" will give 3 cm "50.0/3.0" will give 50 cm It's not very complex to supersede this in Ruby, but the trick is that you have to convert numbers to Float first. Otherwise, 50/3 will simply give 16, not 16.67. You can try in the Ruby console. So a straightforward #Eval() won't make it. I had to do it in my script PlaneShear for entering angles (in degrees, radians or as a tangent value)

In no particular order, and from a cast of thousands, I would definitely include: Mirror (Remember how man times this was asked for / requested on the old forum ?). PipeAlongPath Centerpoint BezierSpline JointPushPull Also show PDF files / user manuals for these two - Excellent and very comprehensive. SoapSkinBubble Purge VolumeCalculator (latest version from TIG, version 2-1 ?) ... For a good variety in your presentation, I wouldn't just concentrate solely on the gee whizz / flash bang scripts. Some of the most useful scripts are actually the ones that perform the everyday tasks (and should really have been incorporated into the core program originally) eg Mirror ... Hope this helps Regards Howard L'

And I have the visa already but my itinerary has also changed; arriving at 23:54 on the 9th and leaving at 06:30 on the 15th. I'll have a shuttle service when arriving and I guess (unless it's full) that someone could join us. We'll definitely not wait for you Coen!

Well, that's great tinanne. Next time i see something like that i know it was you

Whoa...I'm thinking gingerbread style house...you know...something to sit on the counter or centerpiece of the table...not actually BE the table. Christ...that's huge...but I bet at that scale, you can do some nice candy detail work. You know...I'm seeing it now...Christmas Vacation anyone???? Looks awfully similar to the Griswald's home. Now I know why you did it that size...so the little green army men you plan on placing around it and diving through the windows will be to scale. Either way...kick ass.
