Collab 2020: Modeling Heavy Equipment (Backhoe)

[spikeyxxx]

@blanchsb exactly! I knew there was something wrong, but couldn’t remember exactly how to solve it 😉 I am as forgetful as Kent…

[Shawn Blanch]

@adrian  I really like that symbol. I wonder if you could add like a ring effect to the bell and offset the clapper from the center? Add like some squiggle lines coming from either the clapper or the bowl. Ultimately it is your symbol and your staple so make it the way you want haha. You’ll be able to use it as a nice stamp on your projects from here on out.

(if you need help with the names of these parts this helped me describe them)

[Kent Trammell]

@adrian2301 Dude that bell is *CLASSY* sir! Personally I think it’s perfect: Simple, elegant, recognizable. A bell has the potential to be overly complex as a symbol but you’ve nailed a balance imo. I wish my name worked in a symbol as well as yours!

@ritag I’m so confused…I just downloaded both files (.blend and .blend1) and experienced the same issue as yesterday: Files open with numerous collections and the outliner returns zero results for “rita” or “chair”…..

[Rita Geraghty]

Kent Trammell (theluthier)  Sorry for delay to reply. I’m caught up with many things in my life. You may have to get anyone to take over file from me. 

Here is the file in link below. It is editable. Because my PC only has 4GB RAM, others’ collections in my file are deleted so to work faster on chair on that many RAM. So you may have to go to file and append collection “Chair by Rita” which is highlighted in the outine property as in photo below.

It looks excellent from here, Rita!  

Real Life getting in peoples’ way again – always a pain.  Glad you’ve stuck with it this far. 🙂

[Rita Geraghty]

Jake, you can say that again. Our next door neighbour’s wall has been knocked down by County Council’s bulldozers & backhoes few days ago.  Wall was over 300 years old and now it is gone. Once they have neighbours’ properties demolished, they’d be onto ours next and my family and I are fiercely resisting them. We are giving County Council as much headache as possible and we are giving them hell.

I love historic architecture and buildings and support everybody defending his/her home: Petition signed. Best wishes and prayers for you and your family!

[Rita Geraghty]

Ingmar Franz (duerer)  thank you for signing petition, and also for your wishes and prayers.  A lot of people have been praying for us and so we are getting strong. Fate seems to be working in our favour. Government is getting afraid of us now, as our case is highlighting their highest level of corruption. People around us are losing faith in the government and its senators.

People around us are losing faith in the government and its senators.  

Sounds very familiar to me. We have here in Germany the second largest parliament in the world right after China with actually more than 700 deputies which could rise to even over 800. And while many companies and self-employed people are running into bankrupcy and a giant insolvency wave is already visible on the horizon, the German health minister Jens Spahn, a well known pharmaceutical lobbyist, buys a villa in Berlin for 4 million Euro (plus around 1 million for renovation) and threatens legal actions against journalists who name the price which of course has only a Streisand effect. Meanwhile more than 80 non-party  initiatives have been initiated in Germany, Austria and Switzerland under the name “querdenken” (= thinking crossways) in order to protest peacefully (I’m an eyewitness!) for their democratic rights and for governments who are servants of the people as the true sovereign and not for a rich “elite”. I could write a separate blog about this since this is not the right place here and I don’t want to expand it further at this place. But doing artwork brings me joy and power 😀.

[Kent Trammell]

@ritag keep up the good fight! I sincerely hope your family’s home and shop is spared.

PS: This time the file is right – I can see your chair shaping up very well! You’re accomplishing the contours wonderfully. Don’t fret at all if you have to stop working on it. Such a decision is more than understandable.

[Shawn Blanch]

Sad day today. I need to send my Scrappy Lappy: “Lonestar Lenovo” in for repairs. There were some dead pixels on screen (that was not a deal breaker) and recently my fan has been dying. Now it is making terrible noises. So, I called my warrantee company and am sending it in for 7-10 business days (hopefully) for repair. I have a work laptop so hopefully it is up to the task but I may be living in Omar’s world for the next 2 weeks minimum as I try to work on the seat from another laptop. Wish me luck chaps!

[Omar Domenech]

How do you even pronounce Geraghty? Strange word. 

Where I live I’m surrounded by old stuff from 500 years ago when the Spaniards came and killed everyone. I think it’s protected by all man kind heritage or something like that, they can’t destroy it. 

[Omar Domenech]

This chaps wishes you luck. I really need to buy a computer but I’m still so undecided.

[Ingmar Franz]

Good luck, @blanchsb. I’m sure that you’ll succeed 😀! 

PS: @dostovel you just wrote post number 1200. Only 77 posts left and our “Backhoe” thread will be the number 1 here on CGCookie.com.
