Now it all makes sense! Except for one thing - "290 tons of floating concrete"! :) If your system dates back to Raydream, then i think it's time to retire that old dog...

Just a note on "Hard Shadows" in Carrara--

I regularly adjust the shadow strength of the lights, and, for some fill lights, I may not have any shadow creation on those.

And, I never normally have GI clicked on for preview renders.

But what is good lighting without good shadows! :[

The concrete floats thing was a good lesson for me in physics from the architect that design the thing.

to float 8.??? lbs, you need 1 cubic ft. displacement. You can float anything with this simple math ( I dont remember exactly what the point somthing was, Thats why all my stuff sinks! I just.... cant..... remember!) Also regarding that project, as I was revisiting my memory on it, I think the 1900 figure was all objects TOTAL. Not just the joist.

I have it on disk in a wharehouse I want to dig out and revisit with MoI. (Create individual parts then organize in a different package) I also did a model of Dr. Phil Nuytten's Deep worker. The company I was working with started an offshoot that wanted to go pick pink coral in the Kaiwi channel. They purchased 2 Deepworker 2000's that could go to 2000 ft. That one will be perfect to revisit with MoI!

I always thought the Arizona Memorial was an excellent piece of work. Interesting to know you had a part in it... :)

It's a special place. My part has been only "Refurbishing" or "additions". No original creation stuff.

Like the peice I am referring to was a replacement to the dock system.

Here are the only things I have in my office. A draft rendering of the Base unit for the form work to pour the dock. This was the launch system as well. Large steel I beams on steel channel into the water. This is about one eighth of the base. I'll dig up the other stuff and look at producing some different views.



Some line work of the newt mini and construction phase.
