Monat: Dezember 2008

Hello everybody,
how was Christmas? I hope you had a great time and you got a lot of presents. I really enjoyed the tome off business and playing with the kids around the Christmas tree. 🙂

Now back to the topic, over time I finished the development of a Ford GT40 Model in Max. The intention was to families my self with modelling in Max. Now with a finished Modell I transferred it to showcase and created a scene for the new calender page.

 

What a fun you can have with a Ford GT40 you can see in this little clip from Fifth Gear TV Motor-show from UK.

German:
Frohe Weihnachten  und alles gute für das kommende Jahr 2009,
was passieren kann wenn man sich den falschen Weihnachtsbaum auswählt sehen Sie hier!

English:
Marry Christmas and all the best for next year 2009,
what can happen when you have chosen the wrong christmas tree you can see here!

Oh just jocking, close to the Christmas holidays, but atleast it needs to be explained. I know there are a lot of words that can cause misunderstanding, this one is a nice one I think. Let’s take the situation two persons are talking about the Boss Hoss and the BossHoss you see where the problem is?  

A little example below: 

The Boss Hoss (US):
I think most of my reades from US (aspecialy those that like bikes and motor-sports) know about the Boss Hoss, the real V8 Motorbike invented by Monte Warne .

BHC-3 LS2Engine Type: Liquid Cooled V-8 Horsepower:425@5750 rpm Torque: 425 Ft.Lbs. @ 4750 rpm Block: Aluminum – 6 bolt main Cylinders: Aluminum (65cc) Valve: train2.00″ Int./1.55″ Exh. Size: 364 ci.i (6000cc) Compression: 10.9:1 Fuel Injection: Multi-port Exhaust: 2.5″ with daul mufflers Transmission: 2-speed semi-auto w/rev. Final: DriveBelt, Gates – Polychain

   

The BossHoss (Germany):
OK, OK, I know that we here in Germany also have a big Community around the original American Boss Hoss, but it also means Music, because we have here the band the BossHoss. This means both are cool (from my personal view). So there can be a little issue in the exchange and discussion when you talk about Boss Hoss. 🙂

 Original Post von Shaan Hurley

I have to say it again „Congratulations!“

    

As soon as it begans it comes to the end. 🙂
To be honest, it actually started very slow, but then it catches up speeds like a race care! What I mean? The AU2008 certification quiz, I received over 1250 emails with right answers, but as you know only the first 6 senders with right answers and that didn’t attend AU2008 had a chance to win the 125$ voucher. 

Befor I anounce the winners I want to say:

 „Thank you, thank you very much, for your participation, to all of you!“  

-And now, Ladies and Gentlemen here are the Winners of the AU2008 quiz:

• Brent Daley

• Carl Kidwell

• Jamie Ditsworth

• Michael Freiert

• Steven Bachman

• Tim Straz   

The vouchers are on their way, so I assume they will arrive between Monday to Wednesday, -Oh, that means these are a kind of Christmas presents! It wasn’t intended to be, but still nice. 🙂 

 

Again, big thank you for your participation and good luck to pass the exam successful!

Looking forward to receive your review,

 

Helge

Blogs sind eine gute und meistens aktuelle Informationsquelle!
Man könnte sie auch als Fachmagazin bezeichnen, je nachdem wie der Betreiber des Blogs sich ausrichtet.

Die verschiedenen Blogs zum Thema Autodesk Produkte sind meiner Meinung nach eine echt gute Informationsquelle, sehr sachlich und lösungsorientiert!

-Aber, vergessen wir nicht, dass es nicht jedem liegt den verschiedenen postings zu folgen. Die gute alte Welt der papierbasierenden Magazine ist hier nicht nur eine Alternative sondern auch etwas zum Anfassen und Offline-Lesen.

Das ist auch einer der Gründe, warum ich mehrfach im Jahr für Inventor-Magazin und AutoCAD-Magazin schreibe, so wie gerade geschehen in der aktuellen Inventor-Magazinausgabe 01/09. Freundlicherweise wurde mein Artikel zum Thema Skelettmodellierung in die aktuelle Leseprobe mit übernommen, neben dem Review zum DP-Forum in Fulda (Oktober 2008) und Showcase 2009 Features (Beide übrigens sehr interessant).

    Also viel Spaß beim lesen! 🙂
