another one bites the...sketchup?

finished this one yesterday, forgot to post it until now. i think it came out much better than my first desk, don't you? (this one is my desk at work... i sketched out the shape/dimensions at work, and made the model at home)



the "black" sections are supposed to be a shiny-looking metal, but there was no matching material in SketchUp (even after adding the materials bonus pack)... and since i was neither motivated, nor properly equipped, to attempt to take a picture of the surface of the desk to make at texture with, i cropped out a piece of another picture (the back of a PSP, actually), to use instead

I like the Berber carpet on the back wall. I have to point out that the grain of the wood is going the wrong direction and is not quite dark enough. Also, I must say, "Suuuurrrreee. You did the model at home. Uh huh. :)

well the "carpet" was the closest texture in SketchUp that matched... and i totally didn't notice that the wood pattern was the wrong direction (i left it the default direction, i didn't think to change it... that's easily fixable, though)

and i so did work on most of it at home! :)

"A NEW CAR!!!!"

Image
So here it is, my new car!  (and by "new", I mean "NEW!")  It's an '09 Ford Fusion, in "tuxedo black" (it might not show up in the pictures, but it sparkles in direct sunlight).  It has a dark grey interior, is quite spacious inside, and came with 6 free months of Sirius satellite radio!  I am quite happy to report that it has an auxiliary audio jack, so I no longer need a cassette adapter to listen to my mp3 player!  And of course, it has power windows, locks, power drivers seat, etc... Take a look for yourself, here it is! :-) And to answer your question: you can see it/ride in it whenever I see you next (whoever happens to be asking).  And no, you can't drive it (at least, not yet).

what did YOU do on monday evening?

me? i got in an accident!  (but both people involved are fine!) for the record, it was totally not my fault (the police even say so), and my car's totaled (just got the semi-official word on that tonight, so not sure on what value they will offer me yet) summary: i was driving down Rt 138 in raynham, and another driver tried to cross over from a side-street on the right, to a gas station on the left.... and didn't see me right in the way, so they nailed the side of my car! so basically, i've spent the week on the phone a million times, and 3 stops at the police station! /me has to go car shopping now!
