good stuff, but I am holding my breath for when the sonic screwdriver becomes available at thinkgeek. Ahh yes, and the return of those ultralong scarves as well...
the question is if you really need a fully fledged cad-program for your gaming needs, if you need a program to quickly and efficiently draw up 3d structures, I don't think there is anything that will compare to Form*z when it comes to speed and ease of use. It is also reasonably compatible with other programs, and works perfectly with Maya...
Old Lovecraft would have had a field day! A new planetoid, and moving towards the sun to boot, (iä Shub-Niggurath) drool, drool...
http://www.levity.com/figment/lovecraft.html has a (somewhat dubious) article that nevertheless gives some insight into H.P.s use of "cutting edge" science. Nowadays such discoveries are apparently nothing special, even though it is figuratively happening in our own backyard. such news doesn't filter into regular (read: popular) media, and certainly doesn't inspire writers and the likes. Has the broad populace lost all interest in such topics? Perhaps it is time to reinvent pulp (x-files anyone?) and get those kids interested in good old-fashioned, dare I say it, scientific sci-fi. That is how I got into science, and the rest, is history.
