Quartz Composer has an irritating problem: 3D meshes don't exist nicely alongside its 2D display elements, so you gotta do workarounds involving Render in Image. The QC sites seem to be of the opinion that Apple's just not bothering with it any more...but Applescript still exists and god knows they've let that languish before.
Anyway, now that the 3D issue's workable, though, other tools that are easier to operate than Blender can come into play.
One's the open-source Meshlab, which I am capitalizing because fuck lower-case. It makes 3D objects quickly and easily, although some of the menus stretch past the bottom of my laptop's screen and are thus unusable. Open source! Also the .dae files it makes don't seem to get read by Quartz Composer so I run them through SketchUp first, which exports a nicer .dae. It's faster than it sounds.
Another pretty easy thing to work with is Makehuman, which I haven't done anything with. That I can show in public. It has a genitalia slider control!
Anyway, here:

Sunday, March 3, 7:00 pm ,tvo , wanting teach in hu '
flut hand , i type to' quickly for the .. , i was quoting the moment .. wanting to teach ,was the comment , of m'n , hu'
and the last comment at the end , ".. says more about us than them ", of the how showing ,of a different noted ,/ re- my comment left on the crow's eye a few days ago " ..while we are on ..ants and mon keys , can someone remind john 'lox, and just in ,not to try and speak for them .. .. like dogs ,they don't blo g , you know ..that we don't know what's going on with their lovely minds thing
I'll take "Ape Genius" any time.
which I haven't done anything with. That I can show in public.
Dear God. Are we not public or do animated goatses somehow exceed this standard?
another comment here , because it will get lost over where you said .., i think something of marion ,it made my mind go to look out the gentle snowing win'dow to where someone posted, like the sled.. ,something here that says marion , then something of the connect to the street here , of it's hist. ,that i know of from walking with gord perks here , of the o'hara hist , it was an odd .. . post up , nothing else on
Sketchup will own the world but will have no idea what to do next...
okay i'll admit , part of my putting here was so the tig' pussy is now pawing at my bonnet , hig' high tec'
now the mik ey on my bonnet, mon key or ant , small lap'
Speaking of time-wasting, I took a picture of some goose poop for you, Mr. McGravitas.
Post will be up shortly, unless I fall asleep.

I think they do. It would explain a lot.

On a sliding scale, how big is it?
NOT BIG ENOUGH.
IMO the first rule of controls is that the upper boundary should reach into absurdity and Makehuman disappoints in favour of relatively realistic boundaries.
Makehuman looks vaguely DAZ3d-ish, interface wise. I'll have to try it out if it ever makes it out of alpha.
It's definitely got the DAZ going on, but you don't get endless emails.
And I haven't had a crash yet. Seems stable.

Well that's no fun! How else will I get daily emails with bikini-clad 3d models?
And I haven't had a crash yet. Seems stable.
That's actually cool. I generally just stay away from stuff labeled "alpha" because I figure it'll barely work.
I think the alphaness comes in the current lack of poseability, which you'd have to take care of elsewhere.
your using the alpha word,reminds me of ..what we were talking about by mail, and my conclude of that with my brother s here , .. and of my brothers and myself ,as it relates to what happened here on that mention that i did not expand on with you ,of the over cocky of some males,with their able ,while a very feminine girl,like myself is always doubting .. . , and never over plays 'er able / i want to look more at those links that you have above in this post , forgive me if i keep looking back in clips of timing ,to try
The thing about long-distance diagnosis and recommendation is you have to be really really particular, otherwise you can give advice that fucks people up.
Anyway either of those two programs is fun enough to play with, although Meshlab is way more opaque than Makehuman. Both produce models that are better used in some other program. It's kind of fun to make a person in Makehuman and then demolish them in Meshlab...
not what i meant sub, my brother was here in person / and of the looking ,just looking a little , my ar t is off line , and always will be ,too able .. .
that too able means footed,left, and of hands .. . fe,

Imma have to look into that. What annoys me about DAZ is that it's hard to actually make objects with, and their other free tools for doing that haven't been updated to work with any recent version of MacosX.
could i ask ,in not knowing any of you near here well, what sort of things it is that you ,obs , etc ,do for a living ..that have you using these tools
What I'm looking at is mostly .dae files to use in Quartz Composer, and simple shapes at that, so Meshlab is gonna get more exploration than Makehuman, from which I think I'll get less use. Mind you this baby came out of Daz, so who knows.
It's kind of interesting that Sketchup has so much disabled that I just use it as a converter...
My playing with this stuff is all hobby.

Me too. Although I used to do some work with 3D modeling (AutoCAD and 3D Studio) of machine parts to do prototyping and pre-manufacturing "realistic" illustrations and such back in the day. Using a 33MHz 486 (32 whole MEGAbytes of RAM! Woot!) to render was very, very slow.
These days I mostly write software.
Basically, I'm a professional nerd.

I'm saddened I missed that when it was posted initially, it's glorious!
oreg. ,i had a quick look over earlier to see who you were again, saw the wog in to .. ,nice, so nice , i was about to leave a comment .. but needed to .. flut of', so a fine lichen ale ing to go with the wog/not a slur, ,and a look ag. after i tub swim, and walk ,and .. . / one of the things that i do for a living is review children's lit. for schools ,
of something of that ..too able mention above of footing ,quoting from randal's "last week .. at some point ,i couldn't do my usual go out in the dark and sit in a tree calm down about something , so i some how fell in to dancing about in here the way i do , this time with some very very heav' , and so well it calmed me , i'd forgotten ., said the girl that knows why 'er kind migrated north a long time ago , of my need too for ice , and alone ,of how norwegian my ins are even though my ancestors lived in the northern islands of scotland for a thousand years after , and have been here for a while with the famine over from / i thought of you when i was listening to all of the heavy / where this is about to take an interesting turn , as wht as i am ,of pale , and of bones ,fine boned , there is something in my family line that comes to some peak in me .. that made a man of colour dark cry out in a crowd with tears of joy " she's not wht .." in watching me dance ,i've agreed to let myself be filmed by someone of the marley clan connect" " i wrote that here ..because of your saying .. artic molasses slow .. . ..above, "
