Description
for over a month i have been struggling upgrading my old computer with a new motherboard, graphicscard, 4core processor and ram. it did pay off!
as you can see, the building on the left bends forward - this i could not do with my old configuration, it went wrong most of the time and if i succeeded it took ages!
these buildings are not bent over by age or bad underground (amsterdam houses are built on wooden poles which worked well) but these were purposely built that way to protect the facade from rain as rainpipes and gutters did not yet exist at the time, it is called building "on the fly".
the building on the right is from the beginning of the 1900's and is consequently built straight.
this brings my dream nearer, to build a very detailed piece of amsterdam. great help is my detailed documentation, the great amsterdam archive and google street vieuw which will help me to get everything right.
(these buildings are prinsengracht no.'s 6 and 8)

HAHAHAHA! I explained to Per about the bending building and why they made them so. He said he thought it was in order not to make dirty all the building, when they dropped the garbage out of the window..LOL ! I am so glad to see that your program is working great for you and I am looking forwaed to see the final result :-))) I have seen some of your promising work. It looks awesome.

Dat heet op de Vlucht bouwen maar met regenpijpen heeft het niets te maken.. het is de ANGST voor regenwater.. in het voor-verleden gingen huizen van hout rotten toen met met bakstenen ging bouwen dacht men dat regenwater in de voegen zou blijven staan.. en planten zich zouden nestelen in die voegen (plant wortels breken alles af) In Den Haag wist men in 1640 al dat dat onzin was en het Mauritshuis staat dus rechtop Den Haag was hoofddorp van de Republiek.. maar had gelukkig geen stadsmuren steden met muren zoals Amsterdam hadden een belasting op grondgebruik Je hield je huis dus smal.. en dan werd er beknibbeld op deur en gang.. dus blijven de huizne naar voren hangen.. boven komt een balk..een touw.. een katrol... beneden staat een bank. touw om bank en hijzen maar gebouw staat scheef dus bank slaat niet bij verkeerd raam naar binnen
