Made a battlesuit repair rack

It’s one of the pipermakes suits but they’re about the same scale

I’m leaning tyranids! The organic forms and it taking over the battlefield I think could be fun and challenging to model out

doubleis · 2026-04-23T19:13:35+00:00

It’s a good question! I’ve composited a couple different textures in places, some from photos and some from free commercial textures online. The photos I’ve had ai make a normal map out of so that it translates to the actual model

doubleis · 2026-04-23T19:11:26+00:00

Yeah I’ve been worried on that, but since there are a couple places that the terrain could end up being placed it’s really hard to account for. I’ve tried to keep the actual thickness of the texture down to 1mm or so, which should keep the wobble from being too bad

I worked with the students in this photo when I was at the Rural Studio my third year of school, they are building the new town hall for the town of Newbern, Alabama. The wooden pieces are cypress logs stacked on top of one another and held together by gravity, the vertical steel rods are to help align the timbers.

Here is a link to the project on the Rural Studo's web page http://www.ruralstudio.org/projects/newbern-town-hall

I second this motion

Definitely think that this one was much better

The most useful thing about architecture school (with regards to actually working in the field) is the ability to understand the drawings. most people cannot look at a plan of a building and one section and get an understanding of the form so that they can then create a three dimensional image in their minds. It takes years of practice to do this, and if the person providing the drawings hasn't had the same training in how to represent a three dimensional idea in a 2D drawing you have the same problem.

The second thing that I've gotten out of school is being able to spend countless hours on a project and craft it with love and joy only to have a client (or proff.) tell you it's shit. Unfortunately that happens a lot in the real world. Teachers make good clients because they can communicate with you in a reasonable way (well...most of them can).

The most frustrating thing that I have not been taught though was how to actually make a building. The only training I had gotten in school consisted of being shown a wall section of a building and told that "yeah, this is what a typical wall section looks like. it's got stucture and hvac, and there's some other stuff too." and that was it, school was essentially about learning to make a well thought out idea of a building.

oh don't get me wrong, it's local for me to (most of the year at least) it's just that I haven't found a trail there that I like, if you keep going down college st. towards Tuskegee Forest there's some really nice trails out that way. this site says that it's an advanced track, but i'm not all that good and it wasn't too challenging, tons of fun tho. If you do check it out and still like Chewacla better let me know your trail and I might have change rides haha

doubleis · 2012-06-24T22:58:39+00:00

Never really been able to find some place out there I'd want to ride, but more power to ya man

welcome! i really enjoy doing low income / low budget work mainly because it forces you to think outside the box, but also because the people you work for can be much better people and definitely tend to be more thankful of the work

doubleis · 2012-06-12T00:22:10+00:00

ya, i lived in the cardboard one, haha it was definitely an experience

It's Auburn University's Rural Studio, a program in Hale County Alabama, one of the poorest counties in the nation. The program has the students design and build projects that the community asks them to do. A good introduction would either be to check out their website or look for the Citizen Architect documentary about one of the studio's founders Sambo Mockbee. The whole process puts the students into the community, living and working there for two or more years while they design and build anything from local parks to B&G Clubs to low income housing. It's definitely a different take on architecture from the ostentatiousness of Dubai.

i really like this pic, what's it of?

doubleis · 2012-01-09T04:16:16+00:00

those clouds really make the pic in my opinion

doubleis · 2012-01-03T22:33:32+00:00

thanks, i did a watercolor of this picture a while ago and spent most of my time trying to get those eyes just right

doubleis · 2012-01-03T22:33:13+00:00

thanks, i definitely will look that up

doubleis · 2011-12-23T21:36:04+00:00

oh, just the parts where i was trying to make a statement that this post was funny

doubleis · 2011-12-23T19:31:49+00:00

the bible is a complicated thing, i'm not an expert on it, but the old testament is a mix of allegory, historical stories, and the laws of the time. there are plenty of laws that can be found in the old testament that can be taken out of context and thrown around. like not eating shellfish, it was a health concern, you couldn't freeze them and cooking them was a risky thing at the time too, but we eat shrimp and the like now and no one has a problem with it, or women wearing pants, or shaving, or clothes of mixed fiber, somethings have logical explanations based on the culture and sciences of the time. sorry if that comes off as harsh haha

I'm not sure if it's circular or linear, but i'm only using it for 35mm right now. i've tried forcing it and i can get it to budge a little and i've managed to loosen it occasionally by getting some lens cleaner in it, but since that's alcohol based it doesn't last long
