By the way the software support for this software costs 55,000 per year to the company that owns it.The software is identical to what they used in Hollywood to create the movie Twister. I have a friend that models vehicle designs and drives them for say a million miles before they ever go to prototype.
He is doing this as a favor if I build him a Maple plinth like my last project. The earlier assumptions I had made regarding the design and execution of a counterweight all failed modeling. I am trying hard to get this down, but if it is successful I will want to apply for a patent for both the product and for the manufacturing processes to create it. So greater details are not likely to be presented here--nor pictures of any type.
I seriously doubt China will honor the patent.
Cheers!

Though I suppose the Chinese won't respect that either. Damn them!
He said the air polution from their industrial engine has choked out the sun. Even in mid day they cannot see the actual sun. I remember reading in text books about London back in the industrial revolution with the same type of comments....Makes you think the Kioto agreement should be renamed the Bejing clean up.
To think all the jobs have gone up.....In smoke.....
Well here I am sitting in front of two big monitors with that very software open doing special effects for Hollywood films, which happens to be my job.
Anyone else care to swap a fine plinth for my Garrard 401 for a 3d cg model of a tonearm?
They are similar and different. I doubt Maya runs 128 bits! I think it is a 64 bit software.
Alias is a software company, bought by Autodesk not long ago. Looking through their products I guess you mean the one they've renamed AliasStudio. Autodesk have been putting their stamp on everything since they bought the show. No, I can't say I know that, I use Maya which used to be Alias Wavefront.
Yes and when I took my Son to see the USC film school they were proud to display a dozen 64 bit CGI computers with Maya. Cool stuff if you want to do computer animation and games.Alias was big time stuff and I wonder when they were bought by Autodesk which is itself a great company as well.\
I have a copy of Autodesks universal readers around my computer within say 8 feet! We used it extensively to view any image file ever imaginable for document management purposes.
You are One Patently Preposterous Pup, tubes.See you at the Launch party.
And actually completed it within some sort of realistic deadline....Patents take time and I want to test the real deal extensively before I spend the bucks. This is expensive on my kind of budget.
Cheers!
Tubes forever (w/ Super X-Ray Monocle Of Doom) with trusted advisory staff and CAD-assisted Patent specialists......
I have friends because I am nice. I ask a million questions. I try to learn from people who know more than myself. And I NEVER take myself seriously....EVER. My friends love that I am regular people material.So have you finished that Garrard plinth of yours or are you on year four?
You should have a patent on busting my ass! ;-) I am beginning to enjoy it!
Just to re-trace a well-trodden path -- when someone whose output here consists of deeply mistaken assumptions resting on imaginary expertise --- tells you they're working up a Patent design --- it really tears at the old fabric of credibility, doesn't it ?Since, as you have mentioned it, you 'never' take yourself seriously, I would suggest the following :
In the unlikely case that a newcomer might not distinguish a Tubesforever post from a normal, reality-based post, you should just attach a tagline at the end of each one of your posts.
Something like :" No actual user serviceable expertise or information contained anywhere herein. Any resemblance to a knowledgeable opinion or actual assertion of fact is strictly coincidental and, after all, pretty unlikely in any case. "
............................ Tubesforever , CPA, CIA, PhD, Krell, Nasa, Wells-Fargo................................I think that's the only honorable solution.

Bust my ass, but do it with a little more dignity. Sir Winston Churchill was at a party when a women walked up and admonished him that he was drunk. He said, Madam I am drunk, but tomorrow I will be sober but you will remain ugly.Learn from a master....keep your rants short and to the point.
I off you no pictures, no descriptions, and no hints as to the design of this tonearm--which has changed a great deal over the last several months. The time with the Alias program has been illuminating.
You know I respect you JD, so tone it down a bit. Spend your time on 301 pics which we all enjoy.
I'll be happy to dose up a bit.
You lighten up a bit on the all-areas expertise effect.
And no, it's not a temporary restriction.
Doing something once --does not entitle you to dispense expert opinion on same.
Having done it more often than 'not at all' does not an expert make.JD
trhy this for inspiration ...

I have access to Alias myself. Several years ago I designed a turntable and an engineer I had worked with owned an Alias "license" or seat. It is a lot more complex to model a design than you may think. All dimensions and material types have to be known. You then must create the geometry of said model, and even then, results may or may not be completely accurate, especially if you are seeking resonant frequencies and the like. A counterweight may be a simple model to create so let us know your findings.
His outfit is top flight and he does this on his time. My early work with him was to define every aspect of the material, hardness, mass, and then start work on how to keep the stylus planted into the grooves.What started me on this was reading Mosin's information on the Unitrac Magnepan arm.
Basically its designer was trying to create infinite mass at the headshell and the least possible effective mass for the tonearm. That way the cartridge sees a brick wall so only the suspension of the cantelever is doing its dance.
I would say it is extremely effective. When I first mounted the Grado on the arm I was immediately taken by how much more detail and bass I was hearing. Like focusing a lens on an SLR camera. Everything just sounded more lifelike and natural.
I just worry that Alias will point me in a direction but the sound may or may not be better. If the sound does not beat the Unitrac then I quit my tonearm project. I would rather spend time listening.
While my friends analysis is really awesome it is totally theoretical and just flat out fun. We are running an analysis of 60 hz bass gitar riffs and 350 hz female vocal belts. So far the women are harder to track.....what does that mean?
