I like the unevenness of the maroon base

It's a blend, using a weightmap, of two identical mats except one has a slightly higher IOR.

I am currently very much enjoying the challenge of modeling pneumatic cylinders using nothing but hand wound polys (no booleans or other such tools) and the bevel center script in blender

Real men model with polys MoI is for pussies

...or some might say I'm just masochistic

I'd say that's pretty close!

<but the bevel script is cheating!

> ... and doing it just for the "sense of satisfaction", too! My employer (and a bunch of others, I'd guess) would love to meet up with you, dood!

Its kind of a crapshoot. You have to find the parts you want, then hope and pray they have 3D models for them. Just keep an eye out for the little CAD logo or the "3-D Model" link in the left panel (for example on part number 3749T7 - type that in the search box, upper left.) One big hint: don't mess with that Actify Spinfire crap - that's only an online viewer. Go straight to the "Download" link at the top of the page.

I would imagine the Blender team is taking a good hard look at MoI right now as an example of NURBS modelling done right.

Don't hold your breath for this. AFAIK, no one is on the horizon who is familiar enough with this (and motivated enough) to take the task on. Unless you have some news/insider info which will get my hopes raised yet again? (Only to have them crushed once more, I'm sure...

But, hey, what are dreams for, eh?)

Thanks for that.

I had a name...can't remember it but in the stuff I was reading people were jumping for joy that not only was this person coming back but had already created a branch of the blender code and had started work. From what I could tell this time it's for real.

hey guys

ive ben rather busy lately as some of you may or may not know. but i thought id just have a quick fluff in indi again

as with my last one

anyway hope you guys enjoy.
