Cuz there is no way to get 3d max 9 models "no matter what format" into blender...
And i hate using blender to model and animate.. it feels very impractical to me..

Unable to use blender... yes..
Doesn't want to use blender.. yes

Open source.. lagggy.. hard to use.. crash for nothing on windows bloat ware... no thanx. :(

I would take zombies over demons and beast, cuz ya know...zombies are slower. But somehow people manage to get eaten by them regardless :P
lol yea but raccoon city has its fair share of beasts as well, so you'd be torn to shreds either way! =p

I remember, in the good ol' days I used to have that too, with my 500kb connection and my 300mhz pc (with an ati all in one wonder 32 mb that had cost my uncle 700Gulden(gilders?))
And on a sidenote, Guldens are half the worth of the euro, but you could buy more for 10Gulden then for 10 Euro.

For short, we europeans are being jack moved.

5 years ago. my dad's graphics card had more ram than his first ever personal computer. his friend Doug bought a huge mainframe computer back in the late 80's to start an internet cafe. but the business never got off the ground when he moved to New Zealand lol! silly dude. Must have been all the radiation from his time in a sub.
The feeling of homesickness never goes away when you return to your parents home from years of being away.

same goes with the smell of ash and smoke from the day you set it ablaze.

I remember my uncle telling me, when he worked for Philips a long time ago, he had to buy a 10MB harddisc for 10000 gulden ;)
It wasn't before 2003 that we got ADSL. I remember that sound of a 56K modem, something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNaR6FRuO0
Like, you couldn't use the phone while you where connected with the internet xD. Epic! And now we finally have 100Mbit fiberglass, which might soon be 1Gbit :yahoo:
I'll be one of the fastest internet-using Dutchmen... in the world

But I'm still not sure I want the gulden back, it's just great you can go anywhere in western Europe (apart from Switzerland) and parts of eastern Europe, and you can pay with the same money as you are used to. Guldens looked better however, euro's are shit compared to this:

Me 2, if only I could buy twice the amount for my euros..

Anyway, my internet is still capped at 5.5MB/s, and here they went telling us they would double our internet speed (which didnt really happen it was 3.6MB/s before.)

Which reminds me, some guy made a forgery bill which was 75 euro... Talking about epic fail there.

There was this dude in south africa that forged about 20 million R200 notes...
They never cuaght him.. the money was spreaded everywhere!!!
Even i managed to find at least 5 of e'm.. all the old R200 notes where re-called.
And now there is a new R200 note..

Anyway.. this is a pic of my robotics project..

So far it's Android (for HTC), ASM(Pic16F877) and QB64(windows pc)

It will use 3 small wifi towers to navigate a open air space while compensating for cross winds and obsticles like trees.. hopefully..

I already tested to see if i could lift the total payload of the control curcuts and the HTC. And so far i get a 20 min flight time.. not bad..
There is still a back fin chinook style rotor asembly that must be added for pitch control and stability.
The accelerometer makes adjustments to the yaw and pich to correct any instability. so far in simulation.. it works.
The Camera makes sure the copter stays above objects by searching for clear sky "blue/white/grey" and using a artificial horison using the signals provided by the accelerometer.
The towers provide positioning similar to gps within the aircraft has very limited freedom "700 meters max" due to the limitations of wifi signals.. but it perfect for my small scale project.

The HTC's video and the controler board's signals are fed to the atom server, interpreted and then fed back as control signals..

The coper will have a pre-set flight path it will do a check.. do a take off.. safely.. fly around for 5 mins safely and land without hurting someone..
Cuz that will get me a F on my resualt...

So far i have just been doing alot of tests on the hardware and software..

Final assembly is underway soon..

And since my phone takes stunning 60Fps you tube vids i will post a vid soon of it working in action..

And i'm putting together a small Development vid.. but i will show nothing futher till it's done and working.

I should be able to get my driver's permit tomorrow or Thursday. Should be interesting to see, but I doubt my parents will let me on the road for a while, most of my early driving will probably be in the rather large parking lot for the school district's football stadium.

We are pretty confident about our driving skills here, maybe its because most people drive their bycicles to school since they where like 5 years old. Though you can only get your license at the age of 18.

Wow, I wish I had the tools (& money) to do that it just seems so supreme awesome.

Are you going to include manual override and a camera feed aswell? (the android phone has a camera right?)

yeah a manual override is most Definitely needed.
yes the 2 Mp camera should do just fine. it only feeds a resolution of 240x160at 22 fps using the hardware h232 encoder.
good luck with your drivers test gandalf20000. :)

the only reason why I have tools is cuz I collected them since the age of 7. the only reason why I have the parts is cuz I Dumpster dive and source broken good almost every where. today some one sent me another htc 'a windows ce' based one. it's cuz I get ppl to send all the busted stuff to me. cuz all my friends know it keeps me off of retarded habbits.
