Well-- OK, I cheated. ;) I was actually trying to make these few simple objects in Vue, but I just can't get the hang of moving around and placing objects with exact precision in Vue. I've never really tried much for that matter, since I've been spoiled by Rhino with it's incredible accuracy, which is what I used to make these things. But I *did* try it in Vue first, for what it's worth and these *are* at least *Rhino* primitves. ;) So I guess I wasn't too bad. Please don't hate me. :) I had seen the "martini" Vob in the "Interior" collection, and I decided I wanted to make my own, with a liquid object and an olive. It's too bad you can't see the olive better. I had a seriously hard time getting the glass and the liquid materials to cooperate with each other,. They were either wanting to reflect everything to death or nothing at all. It took me about 4 times as long to settle on a glass/liquid combination that wen't OK together as it did to model this stuff. :/

I like it, it makes me thirsty....good job Mike Sharen:)

That's a cool picture mike.. Definitely nice.. Hey listen, after this vue experience with primitives, I can understand one million percent not doing any kind of elaborate thing with vue primitives... You just have no way of measuring... Only a lunatic would do what I did and when I post tomorrow, you'll see what I mean... And yeah, Rhino is perfect for what you did... I can see the olive quite clearly... Cool use of the glowing materials in vue for the cigarette...

Thanks Paul and Sharen. :) The olive also has a toothpick through it which was the only non-primitive in there. I had to loft that one. I guess that's why it didn't show up though, since it's not a primitive. :/ And, I'm looking forward to seing what your "lunatic" project is Paul!

It looks pretty cool, Rhino has me spoiled too, I hate working with primitives in any other program If I need a quick model nothing beats it, I still need to learn allot more about it though.

Mike, Mike, Mike...tsk. I was so proud of you when I saw the image, but then read your confession. Tsk tsk tsk. ;)

Hmmm , methinks a lot can be done with Vue primitives, atleast in VUE3, V4 is a lot clumsier imho. Image is one I did around last Halloween, 100% VUE primitives

heyas; well, dont forget the align button, down on the lower left somewhere. also, if anybody can ever figure out the replicate movement scale, you could easily do things like the steps on that ladder, or even a circular array of things to cut notches in your ashtray.

Very cool work there, Hein! :D

Mike, at first I lacked my Rhino too myself, but past the 50 first hours on those vue Primitive, I've found a strange kind of satisfaction (masochist surely) playing with the parameters. No elabored snap, that's true, but If I've been told that I'll place things at the 0.001 unit scale, arf! ;-)
