Wheelbase measurements are the death of me. They will tell you the distance between the wheels, but not how far they are from the front or back. If they just did that, you could use measurements to position the wheels which would make things SOOO much easier.

@BookWyrm17 Maybe you'll find this helpful.

Try drawing super minimalist dragons.

Doing this caused me to go from bad at drawing dragons to okay at drawing dragons.

Try to figure out what are the bare minimum visual features required to get something that looks distinctly dragony.

That sort of thing ^^^

I admittedly have only a sample size of one, so I can't guarantee that you will find this remotely useful, but it did help me.

On the plus side, they're really quick to draw, so you can find out pretty easily.

GiantCowFilms

@Gwenn Well it makes a lot of sense in theory, so I presume it would help

Anyone want to guess what I'd buy if I had $10.44 Billion?

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ @GiantCowFilms PING!!!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol, what?

Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier

Gerald R. Ford class (or Ford class, previously known as CVN-21 class) is a class of supercarriers currently being built to replace some of the United States Navy's existing Nimitz-class carriers beginning in 2016 when CVN-78 is delivered to the U.S. Navy. The new vessels will have a hull similar to the Nimitz carriers, but will introduce technologies developed since the initial design of the previous class (such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System), as well as other design features intended to improve efficiency and operating costs, including reduced crew requirement. The first ship...

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

X-27

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

A standard Nimitz class is only $4.5 billion

X-27

1:53 AM

well, this one is a lot more advanced

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Yeah

That is slightly intimidating

X-27

Yah :-)

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Or that

wow

Gwenn

You know what I would do with a couple million dollars? Start a dog breeding program to select for dogs with high vocal control. Given what else we know about canine intelligence, such a program could produce dogs capable of spoken communication within only a few generations.

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Even Better!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

1:56 AM

Yah :D

X-27

@Gwenn Yah, but what would you do with so many dogs?

Gwenn

Breeding program. The large population size increases the amount of artificial selection we can apply, thereby speeding up the process.

A significant portion of that would be for staff and facilities.

And actually that's not what I would do with my first million, but probably my second or third.

Speaking of which, anybody interested in spending a lot of time with a puppy of my choice?

X-27

and what do you do with the extra dogs that you don't breed further?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

@Gwenn I hate dogs :P

X-27

put them in boxes and make parents all over the world go insane, and make lots of kids really happy?

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ WHY!!?!?!?!?!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

1:59 AM

They are loud

and bother me

X-27

My dog model had really bad topology

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

cats leave you alone

lol

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ they are too busy ripping apart your furniture and scratching the walls. when they are done doing that, they pee on the floor.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

no

Cats as a rule are very clean animals

X-27

@Gwenn yah... Sighs deeply but no.

X-27

2:14 AM

Wooo hooo! just dug up some seriously awesome personal information @GiantCowFilms (not about you) and for the sake of being nice I won't reveal who it is.

(He is from Houston Texas)

huh

@X-27 Who...?

LoL

@BookWyrm17?

I'm not from Houston

2:15 AM

lol

X-27

I am not at liberty to reveal any pertaining information! Seriously? @Gwenn

Gwenn

Sorry that sent early.

GiantCowFilms

@Gwenn Acc. your profile, you are in spokane washington

X-27

You posted here that you moved there.

Q: How can a hang glider take off from flat ground?

There are a number of different ways of taking off with a powerless hang glider, the most commonly used being either running down a hill or jumping off a cliff/platform. This is how I learned to hang glide and is the standard way of getting airborne for most hang gliders. However, I recently mov...

Gwenn

Yeah, I keep it up to date. It is entirely possible that @X-27 is all excited about finding out that it used to say Houston, TX.

Ah, so he is.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:16 AM

4hrs

X-27

So, two years ago you lived there.

Oh well, I guess I just got an outdated source....

NVM

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

Gwenn

Yah, I have made no secret from the fact that I went to Rice University, which is located in Houston, TX.

I think my profile even says that I'm still attending Rice, but I'm actually taking a gap.

X-27

Well, I did find your profile, which apparently also has outdated info.

I assume you also look nothing like that picture now also?

Gwenn

What picture?

X-27

2:18 AM

I'll send you a PM at blender artists.

Gwenn

My old profile pic? It was a wave.

'K

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

X-27

(to keep the Cow from thoroughly stalking you)

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

I still haven't been able to confirm my most recent pinpoint on his location, I'm pretty sure about it though

Gwenn

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ On whose?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:21 AM

GCFs

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ GPS Chords, or just a generalization?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Like what block of what city close

X-27

Wowey!

@Gwenn Sent.

top right corner, click on notifications, the dropdown menu will show an inbox button, click that.

click on the one from me, and click reply.

Gwenn

Ja, I'm writing up a reply.

@X-27 Sent.

X-27

k

the cow shall never know

(same for you @NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ)

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:32 AM

I can find out if you can

X-27

lol, yes, I haven't been bale to pinpoint the cow like you have, so your a better stalker than I am.

but- I did have the unfair advantage of knowing his name from google drive. (which I will not be revealing)

Gwenn

Let me make this clear to all and sundry. I do not make my identity secret. I have intentionally left enough information to pinpoint me via multiple redundant paths. I do this in case anybody every really needs to find me.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

@X-27 I knew it and had an email

@Gwenn Good point

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ oh, then you will have nooo problemo at all.

first or second result on google should be enough....

@Gwenn that doe make sense, but is so opposite from what everyone here does.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Well

What do we really have to hide?

X-27

2:37 AM

Well, I have lots.. but I shall never Ever reveal why.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

like a nuke

?

X-27

you guys can already assume that almost everything I put in my life story post on the meta is completely bogus...

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

of course you russian hacker XD

X-27

I am not at liberty to reveal any information on this subject.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

lol

X-27

2:39 AM

I am not at liberty to reveal any information on that subject either (Operation LOL is highly clasified)

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

XD

X-27

Who have you been talking to?

You know a lot of the code words.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

You?

Heh?

X-27

That is one Also!!!!

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

I don't get your question

X-27

2:41 AM

Oh dear, I'm calling for a total system reboot before the reactor hits critical mass and the chain reaction blows up the planet!

Gotta run'

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Quick! Operation LOL!

X-27

slight hum gets louder in background while green glow shining form the main reactor gets brighter

Gwenn

Whatever engineers you hired were doing it ALL WRONG.

X-27

What can you expect sub-contracting with the Chinese?

THEY STOLE IMPORTANT PARTS AND REPLACED THEM WITH PLASTIC!!!!

Cheap plastic!

Gwenn

Okay, I stand corrected. Whoever was making executive decisions was doing it ALL WRONG.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:45 AM

OPERATION HEH NEEDS TO BE INITIATED IMMEDIATELY

X-27

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Agreed.

I issue you security clearance to operation HEH and commision you to enact it fully while I escape to the ISS

bye all!

mech blasts into space

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

. . .

COOL

We got his stuff to ourselves

Gwenn

Why would you ever, ever treat the ISS as a physical backup location?

So much is wrong with your planning abilities. shakes head sadly

X-27

That Is just a jump point so I can get an important *************************** (classified). Then I can get to my real remote safe zone on ************* (also classified).

Gwenn

If the scenario actually calls for a space base, that implies that an Earth backup location would be insufficient security, which loosely implies that everybody but you is going to die. Have fun being the only person alive.

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:51 AM

That will be nice . . . not

X-27

bummer

GiantCowFilms

No, the other super-government-Illuminati whatevers will also be alive

X-27

mech turns around really fast

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Isn't the only one

X-27

Anyone want to come with me?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:53 AM

I'll just die

Gwenn

If you have the equipment for an indefinitely self-supporting colony with cryo gear, I'll come with.

GiantCowFilms

@NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ Rather then be stuck in a cramped space station with @X-27 :P

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

yeah

GiantCowFilms

I'll come with so I can see what @X-27 looks like

Gwenn

But if you have that tech, why aren't you employing it in somewhere at least as good as an old mineshaft in western Montana instead?

GiantCowFilms

2:54 AM

then I'll just punch a hole in my spacesuit on a space walk

X-27

I think I'll visit @David and @charelsL on the moon.

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 So that is where they are...

GiantCowFilms

Ah

Gwenn

Did they specify Luna? Or just any old moon?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

2:57 AM

One of Jupiter's moons

X-27

I assume it was Earth's moon....

Gwenn

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TO GET PEOPLE TO CALL "THE MOON" BY IT'S PROPER NAME: LUNA

X-27

ok!

LUNA!!!!!

that is a flooring company.....

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Lunatockical idea . . .

GiantCowFilms

Its the MOON

:P

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

Gwenn

The related campaign to get people to call "the Sun" by its proper name--Sol--has had a reasonable amount of success.

GiantCowFilms

@Gwenn I agree more with that one

The moon is staying the moon

10:27 PM

@iKlsR I have steam. I don't think I would care for the oddseey game, but would not mind trying contagion.

A Radish

@TARDISMaker no, we just fell asleep

and it's sunday

so we don't do as much

TARDIS Maker

Yeah

A Radish

tomorrow we should be back at it

TARDIS Maker

Okay

Luckily I don't really feel like working on it right now anyway :)

A Radish

XD

I've simultaniously been working on this team project... so it's pretty slow going anyway

TARDIS Maker

10:33 PM

Cool

A Radish

do you like the pig i modeled?

its okay if you don't. i think i'm getting rusty on my modelling since i took so much time for GE..

TARDIS Maker

It's okay

The head looks a bit wierd

A Radish

yeah

TARDIS Maker

Looks almost like a crocodile head

A Radish

what do you think is up with it?

TARDIS Maker

10:35 PM

Could help to have eyes

The angle down to the mouth seems a bit too straight

A Radish

here's the conept. blenderartists.org/forum/…

@TARDISMaker okay. thanks!

TARDIS Maker

@ARadish based off of the concept, it looks like the cheeks need to be a bit more baggy

A Radish

yeah

i couldn't figure out how to do it though without messing up the topology (which isn't to good to begin with)

TARDIS Maker

I can see that

The lines don't really favor that portion of the model

I'd try to get that area into a position where you've got some circular edge loops that define it

A Radish

okay... maybe some extrusion and shrinking

is that how you spell shrink?

for some reason i was thinking it had a "W" in it somewhere

@TARDISMaker did you leave?

TARDIS Maker

10:45 PM

I'm still here

A Radish

how was youth group retreat?

TARDIS Maker

It was good

My legs hurt from playing football yesterday

A Radish

lol

no pads?

TARDIS Maker

nope :)

A Radish

or do they hurt from running?

TARDIS Maker

10:46 PM

From running

A Radish

@TARDISMaker it's not fun unless there's pain involved.

@TARDISMaker ah

what position were you playing?

TARDIS Maker

Nothing specific, we it wasn't extremely organized in that regard

A Radish

:D more fun that way

TARDIS Maker

Yeah

A Radish

yeah, i can't play on leagues... they schedules and the rules and the strcit-ness make it not even like a game anymore.

TARDIS Maker

10:49 PM

Yeah

We played a bit of basketball in the gym, and one of the girls who was playing actually plays

So we where basically ignoring her as she told us we where doing everything wrong

None of us actually cared if that was how you actually played or not

A Radish

@TARDISMaker i hate people like that

they ruin everything

TARDIS Maker

Yeah

A Radish

lol forgot my e

so it was really sports centric then?

TARDIS Maker

No

It was a camp sort of thing

They had a gym with a game room inside

A Radish

okay, so it was like some sort of retreat center

TARDIS Maker

10:52 PM

Yeah

A Radish

thats cool

TARDIS Maker

Yeah, it was fun

I played pool a lot

For some reason I only lost one or two games out of something like 5-7

A Radish

lol

i don't think I've played pool more than lik twice with my grandpa when i was a kid... i remember that the place we did it wouldn't allow me to play because i was under 10 so we had to act like i wasn;t every time someone came by. :D

but i don't actually remember playing....

TARDIS Maker

:D

Nice

We have a pool table in out youth room at church, so I'll tend to play a game or two before we start

A Radish

hey thats cool.

i wish our church had some sort of game thing to play

we have a coffee shop but thats about it
