The effects of Hurricane Sandy in Chicago

Most of our attention has been focused on Hurricane Sandy's effects on the northeastern states. But the superstorm was so enormous, it affected Chicago as well.

Tight isobars indicate the intensity of the low pressure system.

We were spared the drama and destruction of Hurricane Sandy. But we got some of the wind.

Not our usual marine forecast and flood warning.

Waves to 23 feet on Lake Michigan, with occasional waves up to 31 feet; this called for cameras, not kayaks. Of course, the waves weren't that big near shore, but they were big enough.

Waves exploding over the break wall at North Avenue.

Gale-force winds blowing the tops off breaking waves near Oak Street Beach.

Water streaming back down after flooding the bike path.

As evening approached on Tuesday, the waves continued to build. The lakefront path was closed, but Chicagoans gathered at a safe distance to watch the mayhem.

The path was a dramatic but perilous place.

Wave watchers put the plumes in perspective.

I will show you some remarks regarding one Alias modelling file from one follower who are working on this Door Panel scan data:

You can see under my reply according to his file, probably this is can help other modellers too? Hope it can help...

第37台車

通常我做一台車都會在一個禮拜內

一天摸個幾小時

可是這台車..........

過程竟然超過三個月

燈愣..........


37會想做Seventeen第3代, 可能也跟37這數字有關

當初命名Seventeen是因為那台是我第17台車

XD

這台車定位是FR

有了定位就開始想造型紙上畫畫, 想不到第一張圖就變成這台車的梗

那時候一看就覺得~~~~靠~~~超殺的~~~~車頭就長這樣吧

XDDXXD

車體的變化就比較多了= =

過程手繪的

用3dsmax做變成這樣



屁屁

3dsmax


車尾車窗中間那一條是整個被拿掉了 .....

我在modeling過程也會一邊想像這樣弄好不好看~~~後來是覺得搞剛又不好看就簡簡單單就好XD




至於製作過程會拉這麼長

可能真的太忙了.......導致沒fu去把車體完成

當初輪胎是在圖書館做好的說

6月多的事情

就一直拖到10月要底了才開始弄= =

車體花了4天約20多小時去做


還有這台車有兩種版本

第一種就是剛出爐做好的版本~~~結果被ptt的Car版很多鄉民說車頭太長了吧

靠XD

當初做也是有覺得車頭超長的~~~~~可是就覺得拉這麼長超爽的~~~超屌

可是事實上.......真的太長太長了= =

所以有第二種版本, 後來修改好長度又再算一批圖出來

確實是好了一點.........不然一開始真的超長= =


以下就放一推圖~~~個人蠻喜歡屁屁的角度說XD

Canadian students have designs on the future

Source: The Globe and Mail

In the not-too-distant past, if you wanted to see what was “way out there” in automotive design, you checked out the major manufacturers’ concept cars at motor shows – especially Detroit. Now they don’t seem to show anything until it’s just about production-ready, so the far-out stuff has pretty well vanished.
