Amazon.com has some books on modeling.
Given the source is that the military or the piscene version of a pike?
Largely both. However they are reptiles, not amphibians.
(Sorry for being pedantic, but the combination amused me.)
Amazon.com has some books on modeling.
...the second title is the only one that applies.
Learning/knowing the concepts of modelling is one thing. For myself, it has been the frustrations of dealing with either unstable software (Hexagon) memory limit issues of 32 bit programmes (Hexagon/Wings3D/Silo) or a cumbersome and clunky UI (Blender) that has discouraged me.
Why can't someone just make a nice intuitive and stable 64 bit modelling programme (with good UV mapping) which is affordable and that doesn't have a host of other features/functions like animation, rendering, and such? Just straight 100% modelling.
powerful, cheap, easy to use. Pick two... and you actually get the third one.
Just got to see Dad. He's out of it and loopy but mostly ok. They will be moving him to the ICU in about half an hour
i'm hating on farmasuticals right now.
how they subscribing life threatening 'medication' for non life-threatening ails?
crappe like simbalta
...is your coworker friend OK?
haven't heard yet. hospital keeping her o/n.
she wasn't feeling well, having abdominal pains, but she came to work cuz of the foxtrot audit.
ICU is reassuring. they have all the monitors
I never heard of an axolotl before. I will have to look it up.
axolotl is new to me too. sounds mayan or aztec
Urgh.. I'll try to get them into Wings, hopefully I can go from there. Otherwise.. I'm going to have to learn to model.. urgh.. :long:
No problem in converting to .obj in Wings. UV Mapping is preserved so just select the Trout and open the Surfaces pane and load "BrownT.jpg" as the Diffuse map. Sub-D and materials messing about in DS4.6. :)
-glub-
Morning. A bit busy right now, hopefully back online tomorrow :)
ty for update, hopes that works out ok for you and yours :)
Amazon.com has some books on modeling.
That first one is about fashion modeling, not 3D digital modeling! :)
Dana
That sounds like some good news!
Dana
OK, if anyone in interested in these things, planetary.org is about to have a live streaming even of the launch of LightSail, a solar sail spacecraft. They say that once the sail unfurls you'll be able to see it from anywhere on the planet when it's over your location. It's about 5 minutes away LightSail launch.
Dana
Well, it turns out that this is an announcement about the launch, but the launch will be in April of 2016.
Dana
Well, finally home and had a quick bite to eat before preparing for bed - Fiancee and I finally had to leave around 9 because we do have work tomorrow T_T
He's still very out of it, so it's going to take time. He'll be in the ICU for the rest of the week at least.
Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes - they helped me through this.
Largely both. However they are reptiles, not amphibians.

reptilian? :lol:
thursday preview? :shut: hiding under the coverz

modeling human ears is daunting, don't know how they do it
...I thought an A-10 had twin turbofan engines mounted in the rear above the tailplane a really nasty autocannon in the nose, was armoured to the hilt, and nicknamed the "Warthog".
...oops,..wrong A-10.
airbus 10?
tunders coming.
thunder light ning knock ... on wood
...actually the Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt. Also best known as the "tank Killer". That big gatling gun up front will shred a tank (or building) in seconds and it can also carry a huge payload of other ordinance.
The plane was literally designed around the 30mm autocannon which along with it's magazine, takes up almost ½ the length of the aircraft.
It may be slow and clumsy in appearance, but what it lacks in speed and looks it more than makes up for in manoeuvrability, firepower, and survivability.
If Airbus built it, it wouldn't even be half as good.
There are cities in the United States named Toronto? I did not know that.
It seems we outnumber Canada in Toronto's. :lol:
There's a Florida in Massachusetts!

The A-10 is an incredible plane! it is the first once since WWII built around the concept (and totally for) use against ground targets and NOT air targets (indeed - it is almost incapable of a modern dogfight). It can 'fly' even if one engine is *entirely* shot off and/or missing a wing (though I do not know of any cases where the pilot landed an A-10 without a wing - primarily that is to get the pilot back over friendly territory before they punch out). The cockpit actually sits in a nearly solid - wrapped titanium 'bathtub' with only micro-openings to allow for control runs (to fly and operate the plane) to protect against all manner of ground-fire and flack.
... and as for the autocannon, while 30mm doesn't sound huge... O.M.G. the shell casing alone is almost 10" long (making the round well over a foot in length) and generally it uses 'depleted uranium' jacketed projectiles (ultra dense - and not really radio-active despite the material, hence the 'depleted' - will penetrate about anything). The pilot actually has to be somewhat careful because the recoil on the autocannon is SO intense firing it more than for short bursts can actually reduce airspeed beyond a 'stall' and crash the plane even WITH those two big engines!
Ironically, some of the *best* (most skilled, highest combat ratings, etc.) pilots for the A-10s are not active duty but rather National Guard reservists! Apparently the hobbiest/cropduster skillset most closely resembles those need in combat with an A-10 (or at least that is the running joke / assumption).
....
complaint: back to physical therapy tomorrow (sigh)... though the therapist I am working with now definitely seems to have what I need 'dialed in' (finally) - Monday's went very well and while sore afterward, it was more of that 'muscle worked and building' sore rather than that 'holy crap what did you DO?!?!' sore...
glad things looking good for your father, Frye
...letsee, there is:
A London in Ontario Canada, Ohio, and Texas
Both a Cambridge and Plymouth in Massachusetts
A Manchester in New Hampshire
An Oxford in Mississippi
A Sussex in Wisconsin
A Rome in New York State
A Venice in California
An Athens in Georgia
A Sparta in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Tennessee
A Paris in Texas
A Vancouver In Washington State
A Sidney (different spelling "i" instead of "y") in British Columbia, Montana, Nebraska, and Ohio.
A Perth in New York State and North Dakota
A Melbourne, and St Petersburg in Florida
A Moscow in Idaho
A Warsaw in Indiana
A Hanover (different spelling - missing one "n") in Pennsylvania
A Berlin in New Hampshire and Vermont
A Frankfort (different spelling "o" instead of "u") in Kentucky
An Alexandria in Virginia
A Cairo in Illinois
...and a Calcutta in Ohio
So, with the exception of the Sidney and London in Canada, you can go "around the world" without leaving the continental US.
There's a Bethlehem in New Hampshire!
Dana
...as well as in Pennsylvania, home of Bethlehem Steel.
Forgot about that one (Doh! facepalm, had family in the steel industry).
Some years back a group of RPC on motorbikes did a challenge for Charity and managed to go round the world in the UK in about 3 days, including a trip to the North Pole.
