# In colour?
You smug bastard. We had to paint the X red with our own blood from cuts walking over large piles of broken glass in the snow to school which was in fact a small box with no teachers and a padlock on the door where we'd get hosed down with yak urine.

# Paint?
I couldn't paint because we had to use my arms and legs for firewood. My father used to beat me until my blood splattered across the screen. If it didn't form an x, then I was in trouble.

# Blood?!
We had to use 2-months-old filthy dishwater in our veins because we had to sell our blood for half a p to afford the 99% mold, 1% bread we used to get 12 grams of every fortnight.

# actually, only about half
as it's not an abreviation for a word like st. for street or mr. for mister, it's the intials for a group of words.

# define: abbreviation
A shortening of a word or term (eg, in. for inch, BC for British Columbia, Mr. for Mister, CLC for Canadian Labour Congress). (See Acronym)

# hmmmm,
So all acronyms are abbreviations but not all abbreviations are acronyms.

# That means CIA *is* an acronym then
as "Centeral Intelligence Agency" is three words, CIA are the first letters of each one.

# No
An acronym is supposed to be pronounceable as if it were a word (like NATO is pronounce nay-tow). CIA is not (we pronounce it see-eye-eh?) so it's not an acronym.

# yes but
you missed the last bit of the definition.... "pronounced as a word".
(, Sat 13 Aug 2005, 16:58, archived)
# Uber-pedant alert
An "acronym" is an abbreviation that makes a new word. [Like NATO]

An "initialism" is an abbreviation that does not. [Like CIA]

There are also abbreviations that are neither. [Like Abbr or const]

An "acrostic" is a phrase or poem whose initial letters, or syllables, of words, or paragraphs, make an existing word. [Such as The War Against Terror]

And, for completeness, a contraction is when two words merge into one [usually seperated by a comma such as "don't" instead of "do not"]

# ahem
it's an apostrophe, not a comma.

edit: you just can't do the umlauts in the subject line. Something to do with gremlins, if I recall.

# Damn!
I always get them confused.

"An aposthrophe is a comma that can jump."
should remember primary school lessons.

[Although that was a long time ago now...]

# Not the normal kind of thing posted here
But I figured since I'd done little constructive or picture related posting on the board I'd show you the reason you've all been happily going along without my usual tedious brand of evil cartoon character shops.

The pictures are taken from preview window of a pretty crude modeller so there's no filtering, transparency and so forth and it really is shite at doing edges. The car is intended for a modding project and has a lot more work to be done, (Wheel UVs, rear susp assembly, and you'll be glad to know I'm not going to be doing the final textures.) but enough of my excuses, enjoy!

The cool part is that underneath the bodywork the engine and internals are almost fully modeled just incase you strip the car against a barrier or such.

# nice. what program?
I'm tempted to re-render my fararri shark nose now that I know how to bring it to life. Was the first thing I ever modeled and was in maya.

edit: here's the original render

# It's made in a real mash of programs
I spent a lot of time bugging an unfortunate modeller friend to let me play with her proggy tools and give me a few tips on the way. The original shape was made in Rhino, reduced in 3DS, tidied up in Zanoza and UVmapped in UVMP and if that wasn't enough its final destination is the Gmotor 2 engine. (Rfactor)

Ooooh, that is pretty

# Maya is my preferred program of choice
I've given max and a few OSS modelling programs but none of them match maya, not even max. Download the maya PLE, follow all the tuts and you'll be able to make anything you like within a few weeks :)

# Funny you should mention that,
that's exactly what she said too but I decided for now to stick with the easier to learn ones as time was a factor.

# I guess if time is a factor, learning maya isn't the best course
but I do suggest you learn it, games and films companies love maya so it will make you very employable.

# Low poly!

# 17000
It's headed for a game, as I said, but yeah, the poly limits are really frustrating.
(, Sat 13 Aug 2005, 16:45, archived)
# you should be able to bring the polys down a lot
what most people don't tell you is there is a wonderful thing called normal angle (i think). It determins how the light reflects off a face. With a high number it treats a face and the surrounding faces as a smooth surface rather than several jaged faces.

What looks pants on 0degrees looks really fantastic when you bump the angle to anything above 70ish.

This model has a lot of smoothing but only about 3000 polys



(, Sat 13 Aug 2005, 16:48, archived)
# Hahaha, don't start on normals, they take the most time to refine
Generally I try to get the car as smooth as is possible so it can use a generic algorythm and look good otherwise import/export becomes a nightmare as other programs mess around with points. Most of the polys go on the tyres, the steering wheel and the most nightmarishly hard thing to model low poly style, the exhaust branches.
