Nah, it was just the first thing that popped into my head a 3:30AM!
I'm assuming that in your line of work there is a lot of AutoCAD-type programming used. Is it complicated? How long did it take you to learn how to use it?
AutoCAD is the easy part and returning to it brings feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. The most complicated software I use varies between parametric modeling plug-ins and GIS-based desktop surveys.
My undergraduate class was the first to be required to learn AutoCAD and we were the last to also be required to pass hand drafting and inking tests in first yea; however, most of the CAD I was asked to use was not offered in classes. Professors required CAD drawings, but no courses or TA's were available. Therefore, I became self-taught in ACAD (arch desktop), 3D studio max, Rhino, Form-Z, grasshopper, and GIS from 2004 to 2009.
Ironically, I had never learned illustrator until grad school with the help of a TA.
No. Again, I've never taken a software course.. it's all self taught upon request of the school. Solidworks isn't really used by architects/planners as it's more of a parts fabrication tool. The closest thing we'll use is called Revit - also a solid material integrator.
My only interaction with it was preparing models for robotic fabrication (which is not my expertise).
That's always been a concern of mine in regards to Architecture. The CAD software would need to be great equalizer for me as I have pretty much zero background in drawing. Well, that and the enormous cost of school.
Learning CAD is by no means a point of access or departure for a real carreer in AEC. Knowledge of it is very helpful; however, an ability to comprehend spatial interactions, to think strategically and integratively, and an acumen for abstraction is way more valuable and rare.
Yeah I was wondering also if you meant Jake of the Neverland Pirates too. I was straining to remember any Disney characters named Jake. I'm kind of a fan of Brer Rabbit. Because of big rabbit paws.
I've often thought about it... but what little energy I have at the end of the day ought to just be spent on gorgeous 2D drawings that alone barely get done.
A fox with class. I like it! I'm not sure the type of jazz songs like the peter gunn theme falls under, but that kind really resonates with me. I like the really old stuff too from the 1930s-40s. then at the other end of my musical taste spectrum we have EDM and dubstep
Acid Jazz is quite a bit different from most Jazz, almost like smooth electronica but without the lounge sound, but I also favor "west coast cool" from the mid 60's San Francisco school.
btw, any recommendations? jazz has got kind of a wide spectrum between smooth and the more heavy stuff that I like so it's hard to just search "Jazz" and find the right stuff i'm looking for.
Here? on FA? I've always liked the amount of between-pose time in Don Bluth's work. His characters never look settled and ready for a screenshot - so to speak. That's why I like open mouths and awkward shoulders.
Is that really what you've been dying to ask me? lol

Love both programs, though :>

Bolt... especially sad Bolt. I also like Jake.. a little.
