Ed, that is siiiiiick!!!! Nice 'graffiti/tuned el coche loco' inspired look. That could be done too. ;-)

It would look great in my employer's 18,000 sqr ft grafitti room!
Yes... my boss bought a 110,000 sqr ft building complex, composed of a four-story building and additional wings - and our seven automatic screen printing presses plus office spaces only occupies only 1/7th of it! :-/
So we have a graffiti room..... eh.


Thanks Michael C.,

That's my future career goal - something in the industrial design field. And if I have to uproot in a few years, I'll have to find a new job and it should be something I like.
Though, a degree would still have to happen.

I've got 20 years of graphic design under my belt, but I know I've also had a proficiency in CAD and physical design type implementation since my youth.
Of course, one talent enhances another.

I took something like six credits of drafting in high school (the old-fashioned kind) because I loved it so much and even designed a 32-page plan set for a spaceship concept instead of a house like everyone else.
Funny, I had to help teach the graphics class to fill in my schedule, but never too a single art class.
But I've always been into building gadgets and tinkering with electronics. Lots and lots of concept sketches in my time... so maybe...

Oh man, guys!... here's a small snapshot of the 32-page high school ship project: I was only 17 years old!
...was it 1989? That was sooo long ago.

I used a program called "Halo" on my dad's 8086 IBM "clone" to draw the bottom portion, which came out of an Olivetti dot matrix printer, then onto some clear acetate sheets via Xerox machine, then through the 3M blueprint developer.



Although, maybe MoI is giving me too much confidence. ;-)

> Hi, how to make transparent objects in the scene?

Maukin, Sorry to say this is not a MoI feature.

MoI has a script for capturing the screen image to memory.

code:
script:var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( v != null ) { moi.view.lineWidth = 2; v.renderToClipboard( 2400, 1200 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; }


I use Adobe Photoshop to blend different captures to give the illusion of transparency.

Mike

Hi Mukhin, MoI does not currently have any mechanism in it to make objects transparent.

You can however, enable a "hidden-line" edge display which will draw hidden edges and curves in a faint dashed line style and allow them to be accessed even when they are behind solid objects. It gives a kind of pseudo transparency effect in some cases.

To turn that hidden line display on or off use the checkbox under View > "Display hidden lines".


EDIT: ok I didn't understand at first that you were asking about how he made the images in the tutorial above...


- Michael

Thanks to Pilou and Didier for the idea: I'm going to play a bit with this Sketchfab thing...



It would be a nice idea to occasionally show an interactive preview for any given tutorial.

Cool!
Have you the code of the share "Embeded" chair on a site ?
I don't see this code on my old computer! I have not all the options!

code:
<iframe frameborder="0" height="800" width="800" src="http://skfb.ly/m4ji3gedb?autostart=1&transparent=1&autospin=1&controls=0"></iframe>


Pilou, I'll try to remember to send you the "iframe" script if I happen to post a model.

I'm beginning to like Sketchfab. They let you do nice things with the materials and you can customize your "iframe" a little.
ex:
autostart=1
transparent=1
autospin=1
controls=0
Just think of the extras they give you if you actually pay? But with larger model sized comes longer download times.
So use sparingly.



By the way, the 'autospin' can accept other numbers besides '1' and '0'... this nightmare is set to '130'! ;-)

A little aside from the subject, but "chair" related... However, WOW!



http://www.hermanmiller.com/content/hermanmiller/english/products/categories/seating.html

This one makes me think: "1960's jetliner".

They provide files to incorporate their products into your scene models. (helps sales, of course)

Unfortunately, no NURBS versions, but great study none the less.

(why am I so excited about this?... must be the caffeine... why am I now discovering this cool design?)

Ok, Mikey gonna study him some high-end furniture... can't promise tutorials. ;-)
