SD and Yip - simpler humans...

Hello...

I tell you - organics are hard to model to scale - boats and boxes are easy...

My hats off to those 3D video game artists...

I will try to include a bit of things that I have collected and modified for a good but simplified 5'9" massing model of a man (well, me really - as 50 percentile) - with lots of sweaters on and my practised Secret Service frown to compensate for my build - you may also notice the man breasts - which I seem to have to have grown as time has passed - I must get myself a 'bro'...

Please feel free to add things - like simple hands - ankles - a nose and brow - HELL - (S)he needs HIPS AND AN ASS - and pass back your files to me and this site for those rare times that I am sober...

Right - I hope this makes some dense - that was on purpose - some sense...

I feel so 1980's and pathetic with this technology - it must be nice for those kids to just create basic graphic closure for video gamers and not something to scale or something that has to be built by men and women who use a scale ruler alongside their brake and welder - an engineer is someone who drives a train to the lot of them ...

Mind my fuzzyhead - the snow here is shutting down the city...

My new joke - 'My Son just said his his first word - SHUTUP'...

Moo...

Hello...

Most of this was found...

Seems to have been a clothing skin without a body...

There was a cow too - looks like something from a kids game - works for me...

Nice distraction from modelling boats that I have no space or money to build...

Geez, Yip - I thought SH was the wierd one here....
Anyway, here is "my" man - stolen from somewhere on the net. He is posable, in a rudimentary kinda way (that means "not while drunk", Sean...)
If you colour his different parts different colours, you can even make him look clothed!
Enjoy.
Steve

Hard to model to scale....
No kidding. I've tried in vain to find a decent ergonomics plugin.... hell, any ergonomics plugin.... for Rhino. Sometime when I'm not so busy (it's exam season again) I'm planning to write up something to bend and scale these little mesh men for different situations.... will let you guys know if I ever actually get around to it.
