Thinking INSIDE the box
3D Experience, General, Models Spotlight March 31st, 2008It’s really great when you toss something out there and people start using it the way they think it should be used! One just never knows what people will come up with.
mvcomputers has provided us with a great example of thinking ‘Inside the box’.
Some of you may have skipped right over an odd little box all by itself that looks like this in big mix of things:
Not only is it kinda’ boring, it has the title “Battle Cruiser”, which makes one cringe to think of trying to speed across the galaxy in a black, speckled brick.
However, for the curious there is much to be found! A closer look will reveal some instructions…
…and if one dutifully zooms inside the box…
…the reward is huge! How truly excellent - to use the INSIDE of the box to create one’s own finite galaxy. That is SMART. As long as you stay ‘Inside the box’, you can have a blast checking out this cool cruiser.
For the really, really observant folks (which I was not until I went to write this post and was grabbing some images), this cruiser is not singular. As you press in for the attack, you’ll also have to deal with several companion cruisers ready to minutely particulate anything you might be riding in…
There are several hanging around, so do be careful! My mousing is not precise enough to get super close, but the hangers on look like this when increased in size (the use of the term blown up might be confusing in this context).
So, today’s lesson to be learned is: have fun! try crazy things! make everybody wonder how you did that! make everybody wonder WHY you did that!
