Bastidge. Destroying my 5 yr olds ego like that.

Ripsnort cheated though. Because he didn't draw that. Many engineers layed that out

. Hey, Rip, how about some renderings of the latest Sonic Cruiser layouts? I won't send them to Airbus, I promise!

Nice pic.

Sundog...You are correct! I do have a couple unofficial Soviet A/C I built on the system back in the 90's, a SU-17 and MIG 19, while I was in a very boring CATIA class

I'd love to post them, but alas, they are nothing but a PICTURE FILE which is a virtually snapshot on a mainframe.

Oh, FDSS, those numbers I quoted for CATIA were 1992 numbers complete with an IBM Unix box...today, I've been told by a IBM rep moments ago, it is much cheaper, under $10,000 for the software and license (renewed anually, fee)

Yeah, I'm talkin' out my bellybutton

Rip, nice modeler. Too bad it sucks at rendering. Or does it? Can you get photo-realism out of that thing? I don't think it's intended for that, but correct me if I'm wrong. Hmm, how much did that program set Boeing back, anyway? <edit> Ooops, you answered that one.</edit> The rendering system I use is free to everyone. Of course, not everyone can learn to use it.

I have posted the modified image on the appropriate forum. In that this is beginning to take time away from my work on the strategy guide, and flying, I am off this topic until I finish.

BTW, these are off their website, I cannot release any of the really cool stuff I have here at work...

Incidently, these are fully functional models, meaning you can pull a parts list off the door assembly, or run it thru a virtual "fly thru", or run it thru a wind tunnel and see where your air resistence is going to be...or do metallic analysis to see what the impact of a 10 mph crash would do to a door panel, etc. etc....these systems are not made so much for "Graphical Entertainment" but more for the real things that you actually fly, or drive in.

Yes, you are talking out of your A&&.
I got 10 years experience in high end 3D & SFX and it's painstakingly obvious that you havent got a clue. Sure, you might have fiddled with some 3D (I seem to remember some socalled 'real time' pictures for TAS, with a nice fake lensflare), but that's about it...all I see you do is throw around a few catch phrases like 'raytracing' and 'procedural' like they were the do-it-all to realistic 3D. (Especially amusing since most film fx dont use raytracing).

Daff, did you look in the Screenshots and Images forum? I DO know what I'm talking about.

Go soak your head.

LOL, Voss!..yes I did...it just confirmed what I was saying

I know , you posted how I didn't have the capacity to use the program,, I believe you said cause it wasn't "point and click". Well Raypov was bundled Into Corel4 back in '93 or '92 ( the years slip by so fast, and 3d modeling had no bearing on my everyday workings) And i dabbled in it then, But moved onto other programs. Corel and Raypov went seperate ways after Corel 5, Corel is still about 400 bucks, and Raypov is FREE,, Hmmmmm wonder why???
BTW, I have Pixars 3d program still on CD, But that was way before they decided to get into the Movie industry

Geezzz, I wonder how i got that program? Also My Embroidery program was 27K, Now I wish i knew how to use it since it's NOT point and click.

Oh, and did i say i can Airbrush? I'm not talking in the PC, I'm talking a "real" Airbrush. ( i can post 20 years of pics in the appropriate forum

But it is "point and Click"

I'm Not a plumber during the day and a "artist" at night. I've been self employing myself threw my art for over 20 years now

WHAT A RIDE BABY!!!!!!!!

Hey Rip!! My secretary's Hubby works for Boeing here in Philly. Works on the gyro-birdies.

Just thought i'd add my 2 cents, since This sounds like a rerun.

Its funny, in my previous profession (Still part of it, now I support it)..engineering drafters, "build, design Artists" recognized one another, complimented each others concepts, or work...grew together[/i], acted very maturely and recognized each others talents....

Here, in this thread, I see just the opposite. Why is that Voss? Daff? Anyone? Why is that?

I can only assume that they were "professionals".

Cool Nuttz! I like 'em helos!

No..Pixar was never a software company..the software was always a by-product of their shorts (and later feature films).
Pixar still produce PRMan, which sofar is still the renderer to beat. I also believe they recently released a WinNT version of it. (At about $5000 per license).
