Oct / Nov '17 Lite Challenge: Waskingdale Island

[- JO -]

Looking forward to see your sculptural work !

[Straf]

Unfortunately I broke my tablet stylus by using a hammer on it!

[Mouse]

Now we are all sitting here trying to work out how you managed to do that.

I hope it doesn't mean you're throwing in the towel?

[Greason Wolfe]

Yikes! I'm all for using a bigger hammer, except maybe on personal electronics. When it comes to work electronics though...well then the hammer can never be big enough.

Still hope you can get things worked out.

Always bring a towel... then you have something to throw in.. however, I can't see Straf throwing in his - he'll work through it

Maybe that's a future challenge.. map by hammer .. Maybe Straf is already praccticing hmmm.. "straf" means punishment in danish...

What kind of pen was it, Straf?

I have reasonable google-fu, and could try and find you a good deal, but I had a quick look and could see there are about a billion different pens. I don't even know if they all work with all the Wacom tablets, or if you have to have a specific pen for each one.

Maybe it would be more useful if you gave us the tablet model. I think you have a Wacom Bamboo, but its not quite the same one as mine.

It was a joke!

I mentioned sculpting and JO mentioned it too so I imagined using the pen and tablet to 'sculpt' using the pen as a chisel. I didn't really hit it with a hammer. I'm not that daft.

Although I wonder if there's a virtual/digital sculpting tool much like the pen and canvas if there's an electronic chisel and hammer where you start with a cube of stone and chip bits off to make a sculpture in 3D.

tilt - yep, I discovered that. I think it's a general Scandie/Dutch word rather than just Danish.

That's pretty much what 3d sculpting programs like Zbrush are. Also they are doing some interesting things with VR sculpting although I don't think it's really developed yet.

LOL! not as daft as me then

I had in my mind a sort of image of you not being able to find the little tool thing to change the nib, and then deciding to wedge the nib between the desk and a handy hammer to try and get it out! (Weird stuff goes on in my mind!)

[Straf]

Right I've been faffing again. I've been pushing buttons, pulling levers and hoying coal into boilers. I've even tightened a few flanges and greased some bearings...

I've also spent most of the day playing about with Wilbur and GIMP. This is what I have so far:
