This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

I currently work at a pizzeria and I thought about ordering pizzas through the internet quite a lot actually...
It could save so much time and money... I spend sometimes as much as an hour taking orders by phone and sometimes it's difficult to understand the costumer.

It's not that far away even today. Everything you need is a computer and a website to make it happen user added image

Didn't actually see it with sound so I don't know exactly what this video was about... I might have missed something.

But assuming this video is about ordering pizzas online with all sorts of useless features, yes I am serious.
What's the problem?

It's from the ACLU....you have to watch with sound to get it. It's basically poking fun at how every little tidbit of personal information will be (is) out there for anyone to grab.

what's wrong with ordering pizza online? it's way way faster and way way less error prone because you don't have to decode what some poeple say when they mispronounce words or something

but yeah, that would be really creepy if a pizza place got that info and would force you to pay $20 for health risks... and knew what you last bought for travel....




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX

You're missing the point. It's not about the pizza place. It's about the scarineess of mass distribution of personal information nowadays..."big brother" watching and all that.

scary, scary.
because all this info is actually available at a click of a mouse. imagine a pizza shop free to get their hands on this info. insurance companies do almost the same thing now when you apply for health insurance.
