It's because the search is so resources-intensive, and the server so ill-behaved.
It's a memory limit, but -- annoyingly -- no error message pops up. That's a problem with PHP.

Note: With the Blender 2.42 release, there's a new "array modifier" which should help with blending weaves tremendously.

You can make CGI's in Photoshop CS?! I have that program, but I didn't think you could do stuff like THAT with it.
Really basic stuff, yes.

I forgot to mention, you need to make a line (two vertices) somewhere as a distance reference for Blender to tell how far apart the coil should be. See the [url=http://www.blender3d.com/cms/Documenta ...

Twisted open or coil, use 'screw' instead of 'spin'. Pinch cut, mangle the vertices on the ends - ...

Would I need to tumble rings I purchased as well as rings I made?
Yes. Tumble the finished product to remove the marks *you* make with your pliers, and burrs that are from the cutting process, and t ...

I used to, but I digress..

I use standard, off the sh ...

My preference for making rings in Blender is to:

If there is a cube, delete it ('x' key)
Numpad-3 (side view)
Spacebar, then Add->Mesh->Circle
Set segments to 16, hit OK
Scale ('s' key) to .714 ...

Speaking of which, the current version of the board software has a captcha system built-in.

He got it to me, but it'll require more work than I had anticipated, as there's no available upgrade patch from 2.0.4 -> current. And, the current mod is based on the current code, so...

Maybe add to Blaise's one-man-army list, but perhaps we need one of those graphical word things you have to punch in.
There's a MOD for this on phpbb.com, just needs someone with ftp access to instal ...
