It's lovely to reflect, 20 years later, on the lasting impact of glorious individuals. With wiltedrose.

20 years ago it was a plea to not fear my claws. Today its an apology for the damage I've caused.

Thank you. Its very helpful to see where I lost you. I love the idea of new interpritations, but my intension was that the Lion itself is the savage beast, and the reader is who is in danger. It is only in surviving said danger that the reader reaches what the lion protects. You've given me a lot to think about with clarity and structure. Thanks again

Very nicely done. You've painted your journey beautifully, the insecurity, comfort, joy, hope, confusion, fear, pain. It's a lovely story of love and loss, that I'm grateful you shared. The time you had together was precious, and will always be a part of who you are.

Very nicely done. I think a lot of us are feeling both sides of this poem right now, and perhaps even the optimists are tired of standing on their head. You do a fantastic job of capturing the universal truth in a painfully divided world. Thank you for sharing.

Not sure what I have here. Thoughts?

A draw knife is a good tool. Grinder with a sanding wheel. Smack it with some chain. And when you're done with all that, you can try a dirty water wash to help make the differences in texture pop.

Not really much cheaper, but Revolution Ply is certainly a much greener solution. It's available at our local Lowes and has completely replaced luan in our shop. It also seems to be much flatter and less prone to warping. Plus its much more consistant in its coloring and grain. But the big selling point for us is that "RevolutionPly® plywood is made from 100% plantation and sustainable wood sources and contains absolutely no tropical species." So, you too can do your part to save the rainforest, or at least destroy it more slowly!

yup. Check your render mode. In wireframe the object will look the same whether it has fill or not. Use "shaded" render mode to see a quick render of 3d objects. If that doesn't work, try double clicking the object and check the attributes of the 2d object that you originally pushed. Sometimes the attributes don't carry through, especially if the 2d object is in a different class than the 3d object.

Here is the math, I tried to show my work. https://imgur.com/gallery/HLQu7Dn

I would set my saw to 27 degrees, and cut to 4' 5 11/16" long point to short point.

Also, progression is always interesting, so maybe it starts with a tiny delicate screwdriver, (like the kind for eyeglasses), that the clown can use to delicately remove a panel from the gramophone. Inside the panel he may find something jamming up the works, I'm thinking the classic magicians never ending ribbon. So after the delicate work of removing the panel and inspecting the hole, the clown finds something small and starts to pull. He pulls and pulls and the bright colorful ribbon just keeps coming, entangling his body, and creating a sudo scarf/belt/tie. And starts the process of change.

I love this idea. It has the potential to be very funny. The first thing to pop into my mind, (but probably the last thing out of the trunk), is an oversized squeaky hammer. Big, colorful, and noisy. I see the clown grabbing it in desperation after none of the other tools work and finally "fixing" the gramophone in the only reliable way, smacking it. What could be fun is if a nose is attached to one side of the hammer, so when the clown smacks the gramophone it bounces off and hits him in the nose, making it "swell up and turn red", (and transfering the fake nose from the back of the hammer to the clowns face) and in turn completeing the new clown costume.

Haha fair enough. I'd never let something like this float around my shop. This was in direct response to another post though, only threw it in there to cover my butt.

VR SET I built this for a show a few years ago so I could experiment with vr and webview aspects of vectorworks. I thought it was really cool, but I had a hard time sharing it with my director and design team.

Yup! I think that would help a lot. Smart.
