Tasteful blood might be OK. No exit wounds on the head. Less is probably more.

How much blood?

I've measured every face of the roof and have laid it out flat... I can use this to visualize how many 4x8 sheets of OSB i'll need to redeck it, how many nails I'll need to fasten those in, how many rolls of roofing felt to go over the OSB, how many staples I'll need to hold down the roofing felt... and so on.

good eyes... I've been think alot about roofs lately. I saw some specks, I'm not sure they'd qualify as dust. They might look more like floating dandelion seeds or coton fuzz in the air. Some plain old camera fog wouldn't hurt.

Hey something I just noticed... the shingles are overlapping the wrong way on the left side of the roof. They'll be scooping in water instead of draining it off.

Without knowing more I will guess something is being misapplied. What does that mean?

For the 3D curious, here are stereoscopic versions of my image... crosseye: anaglyph:

Yay! I won something! I've been entering these contests for nine years and this is the first time I've won something. Thank you very much!

great review!

Hi Simon, -If the 2008 rig has any sort of "auto-balance" feature, make sure you turn that off, it provides no benefit. -the jitter in the legs is probably happening because the leg is moving from being within reach of the IK target to being just beyond it. In general, make sure the IK target is never beyond the reach of the leg's length including any length the heel raiser adds. -when people walk, their hips won't pause in their forward movement from step to step. The hips generally maintain a very constant motion forward. - the staging of the conversation between the two could probably be improved if we saw it from a more diagonal angle rather than have the front guy entirely block our view of teh back guy. -it's hard to see that the back guy has grabbed the front guy because his arm that is dong the grabbing is completely hidden. -Likewise, when the front guy wags his finger at the back guy our view is almost entirely blocked. -if your character can raise his shoulders that will help for poses where the arms are raised above the head. otherwise tilting the shoulders a bit can help make the pose look less square.

I see you have some bones in there already. Can you be more specific about what you are having trouble with?

I'm very impressed with the fit and finish.

I'll note that I talked with Jason earlier about this, he explained that this was done to show a printer how to assemble a project he was hiring them for.

If you peaked the CPs you could solve the bending problem. If you don't like the bending. Is the blank white area just two sides that get glued together?

I didn't mean to cause so much distress. I just thought it would be fun.

The composition is a bit flattish to begin with. I envision moving some of the airborne elements forward to make more use of the 3D space.

Here's a proper Cross-eye arrangement: Here's a Mirror3D that almost anyone can view. Display the image on screen in front of you and hold a mirror between your eyes with the mirror side facing left. Then look towards the right image and adjust the mirror so that what your right eye is seeing and what your left eye is seeing in the mirror align. A front surface mirror would be ideal, but a clean hand mirror with minimal frame will do.

Clever Mark! I can see this advance technology also being used to view Al Jaffee's Mad Fold-ins without creasing the cover.

Previous high altitude work... But here's how you don't fall off the roof: Bucket of Safe-Tie you screw the bracket to the top of the house, you put on the harness, attach the rope at both ends.

I guess SSS "sampling" isn't like AO sampling and can't be distributed among passes and get normal looking result?

thanks for finding that post about flashing a skylight, Nancy, i will need that! That talk about how impossible it all is... that sounds a lot like what heard about doing my own car repairs. Then one day my boyfriend showed me that you could walk into an auto-parts store, buy a $20 "Chilton" manual for your model car and things that were formerly unknown and impossible were now known and possible, explained in a linear series of steps along with the parts you need and the tools you need to use. Follow the directions... it gets done. (this worked a lot better before cars got electronic.) I suppose a metal roofing panel is unwieldy to get up on a roof and into position, but so is a 4x8 sheet of plywood and I'll have to get a lot of those up there no matter what sort of roof I put on. The whole roof needs to be redecked. Code won't let me put anything on the old shingles. My biggest doubt still is.. can i tie this tarp down so that it really stays on when it needs to stay on? I've been on sailboats and I know the wind can catch a little bit of canvas and make a lot of force.

Here are the "system specs" for getting their webGL to work: http://p3d.in/faq#systemspecs Chrome will almost certainly work, Firefox ought to.

Here's an example from the brochure... I'd go for dark gray or blue, however. here's the paradox... Material for a shingle roof... about $3000. Professional roofer estimate for a shingle roof... $9800 to do it in two days Materials + labor.. that sounds possibly right. Materials for metal roof... $5000. Professional roofer estimate for a metal roof... $40,000 to do it in about two days. What accounts for that $30,000 difference? It can't be the labor. Attaching one metal panel where you would have had to nail 100 shingles can't be that big a deal. All the stuff you put under the roof is the same either way. I think the difference is that clueless rich people will pay $40K for a metal roof. I've had five out here. All expressed disinterest once i revealed there wasn't an insurance company they could bill, even for a regular shingle job. I did ask one about just doing the re-decking for me. He wasn't enthused. After this storm they're gong to be busy for months doing roofs for customers who have insurance and won't be questioning the price.

that worked real well. I haven't had success with "variable", I've had to use "16" If you texture him, and then "bake surface" that into one rectangular map, you can scale that to 1024x1024 (or smaller) and use it for p3d.in's texture import. I bet someone with some coding knowledge could get our A:M animations to work in WebGL like the old HA:MR plugin did.

Probably your last day to vote, anyone who hasn't done so yet.
