  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) Different medium. You are "printing" on my machine, not your own paper. That said, yes, I would (and have, and will) turn down physical things that were inappropriately sized. (...) I used to have this viewpoint as well, then I realised that I (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) (OK, you asked!) Ah, but as someone creating web pages, you aren't JUST a designer, you are a usability/interaction _creator_. The web is not a tangible medium as print is. Yes, you are right, in print, the designer chooses the sizing of the (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Why halftracks?
 
This post is obviously inspired from some of the MOCs I've seen be Shaun Sullivan. He has made some very cool WWII halftrack models. Ok, so a halftracked vehicle is usually a tracked one with ordinary steering wheels. What I don't understand is how (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  BTTF DeLorean render
 
If anyone wants to test the speed of their computer, this is the POV file to do it with: On my 933 MHz Pentium III with 384 MB of RAM using MegaPov, version 0.7, a 1280x1024, no AA render took: Time For Parse: 0 hours 0 minutes 14.0 seconds (14 (...)

(...) At 200 dpi, I was able to do a 60x20" and a 48x16" plot using this method. The guy who runs the lab wanted a copy too :) Now where do I get 60" long frame parts.... --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu (URL) (23 years ago, 9-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) But Kinko's isn't free! :) I'm using the Win95/98/NT driver for the HP DesignJet 750C D/A1.

  Re: DPI help
 
Hey Bram, Sorry I didn't get into this thread before. What print driver are you using? Are you trying to spool the whole image over first, or printing while the file sends? Also, what program are you using to print from, and can you export to other (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: DPI help
 
(...) From some test prints, I saw that the DPI isn't going to matter very much, so I went with 250 DPI to save some rendering time. However, it's taking almost as long to print as it did to render. The image is about 200 MB (uncompressed), but the (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
