Existential Monday : 3D Modeling in Light Years?

in #funny8 years ago (edited)

Light Years???


My Monday morning typically begins with opening a 3D modeling software called Rhinoceros. When I start a new file - I open the "units" window to assign the model "world" to metric or imperial... but today I looked a little further down the list of options and found all sorts of measurement types that I never knew existed...!

HOLY COW! What have I been doing all this time!? All of a sudden, feet and inches look so antiquated... (they made no sense to begin with, but I'll get into that another day). Here's just a few that I can chose from :

  • Nautical Miles
  • Astronomical Units
  • Light Years ???
  • Parsecs
  • No Units (very meta)

My modeling Monday just got interesting...

Fellow Steemians,


What is another unit of measurement missing from this list...??

follow me @voronoi | design collective @hitheryon

Sort:  

Cryptoyear.

We shall make a definition for it still. Could by conventional time divided by PI?

It's a joke from developers :-)

Why the surprise? Someone could be making a model of the galaxy, or even just our local stellar neighborhood.

Rhino ah the joys of a nurbs modeler.

Beam me up Scotty! :)

This makes the logistics of modeling space stations far simpler ;)
