    Just finished modeling and rendering this  :3

    I probably could have modeled it in a more efficient way (Mostly used Splines, Spline Masks, and Booleans)  but I'm pleased with it all the same ^_^

    Looks good!

    3D mouse???

    Google.  3D Mouse. :-)

    I use the Space Mouse with my left hand, and the regular mouse with my right.  Together.  All at once. 

    3D Space Mouse?  Is that a bat on a string?

    I wonder what ever happened to those 3D gloves which would let you manipulate stuff in 3D space, that showed up on YouTube a few years back... Some startup company claimed it was supposed to replace everything for 3D sculpting.

    Too hard to get the Haptics (physical feedback from the virtual object grasped)  happening with gloves, turns out paddle type objects are more successful there

    Yes it does look like robust geometry there, well done :)

    Twin mice to pull a little tiny 3D wagon.  :-) 

    My first 3D model was of a guinea pig.  I guess that's where the two mice come in.  Rodents.

    I think a guinea pig is a rodent.  If it's not, my apologies to guinea pigs.  I mean, whole herds of 'em.

    Wikipedia says they are not related, though they may look similar.  And the farthest north the anteaters go is south eastern Mexico.  That happened when the Americas joined.  Before that they were only in South America.  The Southern Tamandua is very similar to the numbat in shape, from what I can see.

    ...still struggling with 3D modelling myself.  Not like building a car model out of styrene or an aeroplane model out of balsa wood and fabric, or building a skyscraper out of Legos.

    Probably need to wait until total virtual immersion is available and affordable so I shape things with my hands like a sculptor would with clay in virtual space.

    Several of us were learning 3D modeling, years ago, and I remember one girl said she kept wanting to poke her finger inside the screen and nudge points into place. :-)

    You might try a 3D mouse.  I can't model in Modo without a 3D mouse.  Not that much modeling gets done these days.  I still do a little along and along, for practice.

    In another thread, someone was trying to fold a plane, and I tried that.  Then I saw that the rascal would need to be double-sided and said forget it.

    For ZBrush, I use a pen and tablet. :-)

     

    ...because of my arthritis, a mouse is not a very good tool for prolonged work sessions.  Tablets with a stylus are not good for me either as I no longer have a solid steady grip and I cannot take advantage of the pressure sensitivity.

    For my regular 3D work, I have an special ergonomic trackball that I use.

    Termites live above ground out West I guess eating ants is different but a Numbat is a Marsupial so it only lives here :)

    Complaint:

    Why can't manufacturers be bothered to put their logos or product name on their gaddamn power adaptors?  I pay $300 for a device and the friggin' adaptor says "Hon-Kwang" on it... Do you know Hon-Kwang? When you need an adaptor, on the way to the adaptor store, do you say "I hope they stock Hon-Kwang" adaptors?... Or do you open the box and say "Who the hell is Hon-Kwang and why is this in the box with my new $300 Yamaha keyboard?"...  In my adaptor box: KleeTec (old HornTek HD case), Skukky Ltd. (unknown, but was being used for a pencil sharpener probably was from an old modem ), Nan Doe ( I only labeled it "router"... Maybe US robotics?), Asia Power Devices (WD 250 Gb aux HD), Yuhai Electronics Inc. (very old HD case), Absolutely No Name or Lable, but a barcode (old CableVision modem)... Except for Sony, Cannon, LynkSys, and Netgear who seem to have no problem adding their logo to the adaptor, I labeled all of the adaptors...   I get that no-name, or unknown name adaptors may (spelled that correctly but the iPad decided that it needed to be "adapted stay" after I started writing "get") get used sometimes, but for crap sake, could people at least slap a damn lable on the thing...  Long ago I started writing what the adaptor belonged to on my adaptors... In silver Sharpie no less, but if anyone else in this house opens a box first, all bets are off... So now we have a "?" Box of adaptors with no device or home... So annoying to go through... Find the power specs, match specs on adaptors, try those until a plug fits... Stupid.

    This also applies to USB cables, when the device end is unique and not one of the standard forms.

    Never trust a mad scientist. smiley​  You all get wild-eyed and start throwing chemicals in those beakers and before you know it...technicolor!

    My kid got a guinea pig when she was a teenager.  1 in 400 will bite, and she got lucky.  Got it a friend, and Rosie, the  biter, tried to eat the friend. 

    Those guinea pigs both lived to be 8 years old.  My kid took off to college, and left them with yours truly.  Along with the chinchilla and the Shih Tzu dog.

    Shih Tzu dog is still going strong.  Chinchillas will steal and eat a diamond out of a ring.  They will self-destruct rather than give up the diamond.  Guinea pigs should never be domesticated.
