To all Game-makers and visualizers on this list, I want to warn you all (speaking of 3d modeling) that I have been for years (as Steve G. will testify) trying to get somebody to do 3D visualizations of the interaction of air masses, particularly in the region around and just east of the Sangres, where cold dry Canadian air masses slosh down the front range to be overlapped by warm moist air masses from the Gulf and hot dry air masses from the desert SW. It is here that the atmospheric layers are often generated that are the conditions for severe weather further east. The need is great for this visualization because many people who ought to know better are confused about this layering. I think I might even know of some people at NOAA who would help. Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer in return but my love and the promise of the enduring gratitude of TV weather people all over the Midwest who don't seem to understand the concept of a conditionally unstable atmosphere.
You have been warned. Nick Nicholas S.

Some of the OsiriX plugins have bitrot and crash the browser. Give your GPU something [cough] useful to do other than [cough] gaming. Don't know about segment tracking over time. Might have to write that.. Very cool. $700 is pretty stiff. It's not clear whether the plugin will work with the osirix free version. I have been using ginkgo cad, the free version of which works pretty well.

I'm just starting to dip my toes into 3D modeling (for another project). I wonder how difficult it would be to create a 3D "world" modeled off the DICOM images? It'd be kinda cool running a little avatar around over the kidneys and through the ribs, to grandmother's goiter we go! -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-255-2847, http://tempusdictum.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
