nothlittroy_s: https://people.fluxbuntu.org/~nothlit/communitytheme/gutsy/sketches/05:09
nothlittroy_s: if you elaborate on the blueprints thing i could think about how to present it05:10
troy_shrm... have you seen the rather stale blue graphpaper wallpaper05:16
troy_s?05:16
troy_sits basically somewhere in between that and a wireframe evolution of wire into life...05:16
troy_slet me show you a video i shot... erik did something like it involving a tree...05:16
nothlitbah i saved a blank page over it by accident, readding text now05:18
nothlittroy_s: i probably haven't seen it05:19
troy_snothlit: I don't know if you have seen this one... hold on...05:20
troy_shttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0RniSNWdYM05:21
troy_si can't rmember where the wireframe comes into play05:21
troy_sbut watch it...05:21
troy_sit is funny, because it is almost exactly the idea proposed a while back...05:21
troy_snothlit: I think it is after the bridge05:23
troy_s2/3rds05:23
darkmattergods.. drawing with a mouse is like trying to delicately manipulate a VERY large boulder05:23
darkmatterI so need a tablet05:23
nothlitmousers have done some amazing things too :)05:25
troy_slooool05:25
darkmatternothlit, just the method doesnt suit me... to many years with clay and paint and charcoal, if ya hear what I'm saying05:27
troy_sdarkmatter: amen05:28
troy_smice suck05:28
troy_slets face it05:28
darkmatterdont get me wrong... mouse does work... just takes sooo long05:28
troy_sif they didn't, the mouse would have preceded the pencil05:29
nothlitdarkmatter: lol...messy materials there :)05:29
darkmatterso hard to get anything right with the mouse05:29
darkmatternothlit, aye. especially the clays05:30
darkmatterthough I've switched to polymer clay of late.. doesnt feel as natural and not nearly as fun to work with... but easy cleanup05:30
nothlitand i'm guessing easier to make molds of05:32
troy_sdarkmatter: And it gets stuck in those monitor buttons and all over the screen when you are sculpting on it.05:33
darkmatterlol05:33
darkmatterthat too05:33
darkmatternothlit, yup.. doesnt tranfer well to digital applications though05:34
nothlitdarkmatter: zbrush+tablet for that05:35
nothlitespecially a cintiq :D *grins*05:35
darkmatteryup...if I had a tablet05:35
darkmatteryou have a cintiq????05:36
darkmatterdamn.05:36
nothlitnah05:36
nothlittabletpc05:36
troy_shell... i spent 900 bucks on an intuitos 2 tab05:36
troy_sand now it is junk05:36
troy_ssad05:36
darkmatterouch05:36
nothlitbut all the coolest demos of zbrush are on cintiqs05:36
troy_sto be honest, you almost get your best bang for buck out of the bloody graphire / bamboo models05:37
troy_swtf is zbrush?05:37
troy_s(prepares for lol)05:37
nothlitits like 'painter' for 3d05:39
nothlittroy_s: http://www.highend3d.com/articles/reviews/16.html05:40
darkmatterI need to brush up on my blender skillz (or lack thereof)05:40
nothlitits pretty sophisticated, you can do quite a lot, the modeling is more intuitive, the approach to animation makes sense too--but i don't do 3d lol05:41
nothlittheres quite a few narrated videos you can watch05:42
darkmatterI was spoiled by maya.... but no free version for nix and no way I'm going tospend 6 grand on open motif :P05:43
nothlitoh yars, painting on the model too05:47
troy_sahhh ... i do recall that now..05:49
troy_sfeck me that is a killer tab05:49

nothlittroy_s: so you meant a structure reveal for organic materials?06:05
troy_snothlit: Maybe... migth be cool06:19
troy_snothlit: Some high tech glowey wireframe coolness into an organic structure like roots or...06:20
troy_snothlit: Root to electricity06:20
nothlittroy_s: hows that represent progress?06:35
troy_snothlit: I think if you create the rooty's as sort of evolving into electricity possibly it could work06:38
troy_snothlit: or coming together and moving forwards06:38

troy_snothlit: I was thinking of a merging / progression07:06
troy_snothlit: half being the coming together of the roots / vines / wahteer07:07
troy_snothlit: and half being the flashy glowey techy 'wow' portion07:07
darkmatterAHHA! thats what I'll do with the steppers!08:38
