anyone? Or have i posted in the wrong forum?

Having said this the other day whilst driving the rear end slid as it was very wet when I went around a corner. Quite a few people I know wouldnt have known what to do in the situation however it may sound stupid but from playing games on the playstation with a steering wheel it helped me know how to get out of the skid. All thanks goes to Gran Turismo and Need For Speed.

Has anyone used Sketchup? Its some new software created by google. There is a free version and also a pro version. Heres some information about it: So my question is has anyone used it and is it any good?

My best advice to you would be give them a go and see what best suites your needs. We have all mentioned various services. All you must do is check them out and see what you think of them and their interface. It doesnt take much time to install and uninstallthe ones you dont like. So give it a go and please give us feedback to, which ones you prefer.

Here is some more information about it: The vast orange fireball blooming in the night sky is the signal for the second phase of the attack. Large NOD armies flood into GDI strongholds, taking advantage of the chaos created by the decapitation of GDI's command and control networks. Battles rage across the world. Things are looking very grim for GDI. That's where you come in as a GDI commander who must rally the demoralized and scattered GDI forces, mount a counterattack against NOD, and ultimately drive them out of GDI territory. As for how the story will be told: We will have FMV cut scenes (with live action), but we're also weaving story into everything we do in the single player campaign - from mission briefings to objectives to database entries you uncover in the world to radio conversations you overhear on the battlefield. We want to immerse you in the game world like never before. In addition to the cool new single player campaigns, we are updating C&C gameplay so that it feels fresh - adding mechanics that are standard to cutting edge RTS games and creating some new features and innovations to drive the genre forward. Some examples of the new features include mobile bases, units that gain capabilities based on how close they are to the center of an Ion Storm (which can be summoned and controlled by one of the three game factions), and units that can work together to grant the player new battlefield capabilities. It's also worth mentioning the return of the side-bar interface: Our in-game UI for C&C3 is a side-bar that will feel familiar to C&C players but it has some added features that make it more useful - and make it feel interesting and new. We are combining the centralized production queues in the classic C&C side-bar with contextual space for selected units and structures. The new UI lets you quickly build units and structures, easily control grouped units, and access your build queues anywhere on the map - even in the middle of a battle. But you can still get lots of information about your selected units and activate their special abilities - which is pretty much expected in the latest generation RTS games. We think our interface for C&C3 is the best of both worlds. To check out more: website

What does everyone have as their desktop image? For me I used to always have cars and then went on to chinese and martial art related. However since playing around with various themes with windows I have started to like shapes and weird emblems. So guys come on heres the chance to show off your desktop wallpaper no matter what it is. I am interested to see what people have as their desktop.

Cool stuff what was everyones favourite theme? I use the other packages as well like icon packager its pretty cool. Come on guys post your screenshots.

There are so many ways of doing it but I still recommend plain old smart ftp. It is so easy to use. If I cannot be bothered then I just use the plain old way of using the domain in Windows ftp.domain.com. Like Levis mentioned this is by far the best method of doing this.

Thats a very interesting story KDEWolf. I didnt realise this. I may have been wrong saying that Windows Blinds slowed my computer down. It could have just been the software I had open at the time. I will test this to see. As for windows blinds has anyone got any screenshots they care to show us of their desktop set-up? It would be interesting to see this.I will post mine shortly when I get in, as I am currently using my work computer.

Oh cool. Well I have finally got hold of 3d's max until the 30 day trial is up, which I would like to use just to learn the basics with, as I may upgrade and purchase it in the future if I do feel the need for it. So has anyone got any tutorials for 3d's Max?Thanks in advance guys.I have tried blender but have found it is pretty slow. I dont know if this is my computer or not but 3d's max seems to run perfectly.

I understand that its a solid model I am just pointing this out, as if you mange to sort this issue I feel that the image has potential. Keep up the good work.

What do you feel is the most realistic driving game? In my opinion Gran Turismo 4 is the best

Command & Conquer 3: What do you think? Watch in amazement and with the volume turned up to full!!!!! Trailer

Agreed. Have you tried applying textures and colour to it? I think it has great potential.Keep it up and please keep us posted.

Cool. Thanks for all the advice people it is greatly appreciated. I have a friend who owns 3d Max and says its great he says he doesnt mind me borrowing it so I may check it out. Does anyon have any good tutorials for beginners?Although for now I am going to fiddle around with the open source software mentioned called Blender. It looks pretty good, however very complex. Please post any good tutorials. Thanks in advance guys.
