I can visualize a shouting match between two drivers after their vehicles collide at a gas station. I can only imagine how much more complicated things can get when it's two US navy ships doing the same thing.

Here’s a video showing some of the cool dynamic features you can get in using geometry nodes.
Basically, these two add-ons I use for reverse-engineering, both take advantage of the newer geometry nodes capabilities, one is 🤩 , and the other is 🤩, a really great add-on that can generate dynamic cross-sections of an STL or any other meshes model but also has tons of other tools for surface quality control.

Doing reverse engineering with and is insanely efficient and accurate.
Also, very few programs can even handle STL files from scans that are over 1.5 GB and that’s already the low-res version… the full raw scan is more than 50 GB.

The luxury liner, "Desert Excursions," has run aground. What a catastrophic loss of a once mighty beloved cruise ship.

(OMG: I just noticed, I need to haul a skeleton out there and put it behind the tiller!)

A color landscape photo of a long abandon boat sitting on gravel among sagebrush. A nearby lake has long been in the process of drying up. The lake cannot be seen in the photo. The boat is rather large, probably 35-40 feet in length. It points toward the lower left. The wood planks are very weathered. It appears crushed on the port side wood pieces of wood scattered around on the ground. A far distant mountian range is seen. The sky is overcast with threatening clouds.

シースカイ博愛

今回の宮古島への旅行はあいにく天気の谷間に当たってしまい、2泊3日の滞在中は気温が低く風の強い日となってしまいました。それでも白い砂浜のおかげで綺麗な青い海をいくらかは見ることができたのですが、青い空との組み合わせで見ることは叶わず、次回への期待をつなぐこととなりました。

しかし、シースカイ博愛という観光船でのツアーは十分に楽しむことができました。この船は喫水線の下に窓が付いていて、その窓を横から見る形で水面より低い位置に座席が配置されているので、楽な姿勢で海の中をクリアに見ることができるようになっています。この船に乗ってサンゴ礁のほうへ行って、たくさんの魚や海ヘビ、そしてウミガメの姿も見ることができました。

日差しがあればより明るく見ることができたのかもしれませんが、夏よりもこの時期の水のほうがプランクトンなどが少なく水が澄んでいるとのことで、かなり遠くのほうまではっきりと見ることができました。大きな魚が何匹も船に沿って泳いでいるのを間近で見ることができて、これならシュノーケリングなどよりもいいのではないかとさえ思いました。魚やウミガメと触れ合えるスキューバなどには到底かなわないとは思いますが、そこまで自由に活動できるようになるにはそれなりの習熟が必要でしょうから、こちらは船に乗るだけのお手軽さで大きく優っているのは間違いないでしょう。

1時間弱のクルーズで大人1人2000円という料金でしたが、海中展望台のようなところで1000円程度の料金を支払うのと比べると、圧倒的にこちらの方が価値があると思います。宮古島での手軽なアクティビティの候補として、ぜひ検討してみてほしいと思います。

A little update, but with accuracy..

The shadowy world of abandoned oil tankers

Over the past year there has been a big rise in the number of oil tankers and other commercial ships being abandoned around the world by their owners. What is causing the spike? And what is the human impact on the affected merchant sailors?

I’m losing my mind doing reverse engineering on a laser scan in .
1.5 GB STL file, tons of missing chunks, it’s all warped, and it’s not symmetrical at all.

Sailing Vessel REMBRANDT VAN RIJN, sailing under Vanatu flag, at Vlissingen harbor. The ship is used for expeditions near Greenland. It can host 12 crew and 33 passengers.

"Rembrandt van Rijn - Port Vila" says the stern of this sailing ship. Above that the flag of the island state of Vanatu. Between the three brightly lit masts with reefed sails you can also see the flag of the NetherlandsThree brightly lit masts of the sailing ship manifest themselves in a dark blue sky.
