Blender can do just about anything, and if I can find some people willing to teach me to better hack python, we can make it do even more (Auto part handling, simulated carpentry action menu, Part/Materials list widget/plugin, etc).<div>
<br></div><div>I'm going to swing by the space tonight, for sure. I'm putting together a little 5 minutes presentation about some of the work I've done to date, and I'm planning to announce the modelling class starting next Thursday then. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Between now and then, i need to get my hands on a couple 20 or 30 meter measuring tapes... Anyone have any, or suggestions as to where I might find them? (I've got a 7.5 meter tape that I'm using to model my apartment, but It's not going to be sufficient to model a space as big as 2169 Mission).<br>

Blender can *do* that? I'd love to see this. Yay open source!<br><br>Christie<br clear="all">--- <br>Why I take the road less traveled? Oh, that's easy. I'm claustrophobic.<br>

Hey Ozzy,<br><br>I'd love to get in on this. I'm usually available, but weeknights work best for me. My wife has a 3d model of the space that she did in Chief Architect, that can be exported to something usable. <br>

Heylo All,<div><br></div><div>My name is Ozzymandias, King of Kings... well, not really. Hey, I'm Ozzy, a software engineer whose in the process of joining the space, and happens to have a passion for realspace hacking (aka carpentry). Long term interests include putting Ikea out of business with locally fabricated open-source flat-pack furniture, designing, building and flying open-source-design airplanes (I'm a PPL), and generally being excellent. World domination need not apply, it's WAY too much trouble.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In any case, I spent this summer learning to user Blender (<a href="http://blender.org" target="_blank">http://blender.org</a>) to support rapid prototyping and fabrication of furniture/spaces- I figure this labor of love might be something that NoiseBridge would appreciate, so, I would like to begin a class starting next week on Using Blender as a framework for carpentry design which I call, in pure 'I'm trying to start a Meme here people' self-righteousness, The Blender Hacking Earth-Space eXtensions Framework (or HEXpace Framework for short). </div>
<div><br></div><div>The class will be either once or twice a week, and will begin with me running around the space with a metric tape-measure to create a 3D model of the existing space, that all of you can hopefully use to model, budget, and plan further space build-out Doing. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyone interested? I figured I'd go to the real Doers first (the build-list) and see what interest existed and what times worked for people.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>
