Nexus 3 videotutorial

In order to help people in testing Nexus package for ArcheOS Hypatia (see the related post), I just recorded a fast videotutorial to show how this simple tool works.

Please note that the videotutorial refers to ArcheOS Hypatia's package, where Nexus binaries are stored in /usr/bin (so that they can be start from any path in the terminal). If you compiled your Nexus version somewhere in your home folder, than probably you will have to activate the binary from that directory.

Here below is the short video; I hope it will be useful.

Soon I will upload also the new 3DHOP package for ArcheOS Hypatia, with some instruction about it.

Have a nice day! 

Something stupid

Yesterday evening i was working on an illustration for an archaelological publication. The image reguards an amphora I modeled in Blender, which for many reasons I had to cut in half (and along different sections). I lost a lot of time cutting the amphora with a (very simple) boolean operation inside Blender, but the final result was not good enought (especially considering the wasting of time). Finally I had the idea to export the amphora from blender and import it in ParaView, to use the simple "Clip" tool inside the very large filter collection of this software. This simple/stupid solution saved me a lot of time, so I complete my work inside ParaView. It is not the first time I have to use both of these software for a project and, like before, I used the .ply format to exchange models from Blender to ParaView and the other way around. 
In the image below you can see a screenshot of the amphora in ParaView.
