Good Textures - Royalty free seamless textures and photos The Logical Fallacies: Welcome Welcome Welcome to an official mirror site of The point of an argument is to give reasons in support of some conclusion. An argument commits a fallacy when the reasons offered do not support the conclusion. See How To Use This Guide. If you can think of more fallacies that you'd really like to see, please send me a note. In the long run, this site will become a complete discussion of logic. Preparing Blender Files for 3D Printing - Shapeways This tutorial was written by Shapeways community member Jeff LaMarche. Introduction Okay, I've been fighting the good fight with Blender for a few weeks trying to convert some models I originally created for rendering into a printable file. Finding non-manifold edges If you have a model created from several objects or meshes, first make sure that each individual mesh is manifold (water-tight). Any vertices that get selected when you press that key combination are non-manifold vertices that have to be fixed. If there are three or four attached polygons that it says are non-manifold, but says there is already a face, try deleting the face and, if necessary, recreating it. Tip: hide geometry to focus on the non-manifold areas One trick that makes things easier is to select non-manifold, then press ctrl+ several times to increase the selection. Cleaning up: join meshes using Booleans Once you've got all your meshes manifold, make sure that every mesh is its own object. Finally, export to STL.

It is not really new, but we do have more technology these days that allow us to further develop whatever ideas that we may already have in the past but stuck. Things like: Kinect Motion Capture, Augmented Reality and AR Glass, Mobile Devices, 3D Printers, 3D Scanner, Arduino, etc. They are all available. It is as if nowadays, we are applying more and more "Game Environment" automation into "Real World". Those areas are really interesting to me. And of course, since this blog is about Blender, I want to see some kind of real-time setup using Blender happening on my own personal computer. I remember many years ago, I researching on how to do this kind of audio-driven animation using Maya (MIDI Driven). And then there is Houdini. It cannot be any easier than this.

Free textures, Photoshop brushes | plaintextures.com JFK: Secrecy is Repugnant Some 250,000 classified cables and embassy dispatches from the State Department are being released today via WikiLeaks latest, and reportedly largest, document dump ever. Within the last hour, news reports based on those documents have begun to be published by various world media outlets that are said to have been given advanced access. [Update: Browse all of the documents now via WikiLeaks' "CableGate" database.] Among the very first revelations to emerge, as quickly highlighted on Twitter via search hashtags #WikiLeaks and #CableGate this morning, are details on the U.S. having pleaded with Germany in 2007 to not prosecute CIA operatives who kidnapped and tortured a terror suspect, Yemeni officials covering up U.S. drone strikes in their country, Saudi officials encouraging U.S. to take attack Iran, the U.S. spying on UN diplomats, as well as various, potentially embarrassing State Department assessments of allied world leaders. There will be much more to come. As well, John F.
