I'm surprised they had the restraint to not go for the full cheap shot and use "The".

As per assignment. Le Tardis.

10! 9! 8!...Why are we counting down?...7! 6! 5!...I don't really know.... 4! 3! 2! ... What do you mean you don't really know? ...1! Start. *Crickets*

Well all right then.

Heh...that was meant to be read more lighthearted and self depricating than it came out.

Alright, so I skipped ahead and watched the boolean one and I have a couple questions.

My brain still works in the "Everything needs to be quads or tris or else shit goes bad fast" mode. Does that theory not apply in lightwave, or (Taking the first example you did, with the cyl through the cube) would I still have to go through and manually connect the points from the intersected cylinder out to the outer cube, and deal with all the fun geo things that brings up, or you know, gods forbid just go convert all to tri's and hope for the best.

That's kinda the problem I've always had when it comes to booleans. It's simple to set it up and so long as you don't have to actually do anything with the geo it's fine, but it's the clean up process to make it usable that becomes a bitch and a half.

Just in case, I should say, I'm thinking like 6 steps down the line here, like when it comes to pulling out the UV's, rigging, and actually texturing and rendering the thing.

/It feels weird talking about this in a thread called Lightwave For Beginners

Impressive because it's point modelled or impressive because it's on 3 days of lightwave learnin?

If it's the former, I'm not sure why, I've always been a point modeller. Granted, the fact it took 5 hours in lightwave when it would take me 5 minutes in blender can pretty much be chalked up to the fact I was attempting to figure out and find and learn the equivalents of all my favorite tools (Still missing a couple, but I got most of em)

Hopefully I'll have some time in the next couple days to get back into lightwave and watch the rest of he tuts. I've just been so freaking busy the last couple days, I haven't even had time to stop and think for 30 seconds, let alone this.

And yeah, booleans is gonna be my next thing to attempt. Although I've never really used them much in any package, (because they just ruin any geo they touch and it takes 5 hours to clean it up after), so it'll be interesting to see if lightwave's actually works.

Ah...so did they finish all the changes they were talking about a while back or were they just leaving it alone?

/Hasn't really been paying attention to Star Tours news

I can't help but think they're all going "Wtf is that thing between it's...oh god?! Seriously dudes? Somebody get the fuckin prop dept over here. Wtf guys?!"

We had a bit of a mini snowstorm today that started when I was coming home from work, so I grabbed my camera as soon as I got home and snapped a couple pics around my neighborhood. I think they turned out alright.

As always, click for bigger.

I'll admit it, it's been a longass time since I watched that epsiode and had to go research to figure out wth you were talking about. but in the process of doing so I found this article: http://nonstopkarate.com/2011/05/27/plo … nd-scrubs/

Which makes it all worthwhile.

The hope of goth britta being really real can live on.
