I used to be a graphics software and game reviewer for Dutch magazines.
Here's an article I wrote about 3D software in January 2004, including ZBrush version 1.5.
Back then, ZBrush was still an odd, experimental "2.5D" mix between a paint program and 3D editor. 🙂

These hot springs form strange rock formations flowing down the mountainside. But beware of the nearby cavern, as it emits poisonous gas. This once-thriving city is now abandoned, and its nearby necropolis lies silent. #travel #history https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/turkey/pamukkale/?s=mc

Мы редко задумываемся, каковы причины нашего интереса к различным видам деятельности. Взять, например, историю - почему эта наука нас привлекает? Какая от неё вообще польза?
Конечно, знакомиться с древними произведениями искусства или предметами быта, рассказывающими нам о том, как жили люди много веков назад, это увлекательно. Изучать древние документы, письменные источники и понимать причинно-следственные связи событий прошлого - очень познавательно. Но это не отвечает на вопрос - зачем нам знание истории?
Если разбираться с этим вопросом по-настоящему, нам нужно вернуться во времена, когда человек ещё мало отличался от животных, его окружавших. Именно тогда возможность помнить события и, что важнее, передавать их другим, оказалась одним из самых полезных навыков. Люди запоминали, где живут опасные хищники и где растут орехи, кто их друзья и с кем лучше не связываться, и эти знания передавались новым поколениям. Так опыт прошлого усваивался далёкими потомками.
Другими словами, история - это не просто интересная наука. Изучение истории - это критически важный для нашей жизни навык, позволяющий избегать повторения ошибок прошлого и брать из него то, что оказалось эффективным и полезным. Только так мы можем сделать жизнь лучше и повысить выживаемость своего биологического вида.

On this day, March 13, 1979, the New Jewel Movement (NJM), led by Maurice Bishop, launched a bloodless coup in Grenada, overthrowing Prime Minister Eric Gairy while he was abroad. This revolution established the People's Revolutionary Government (PRG), which ended Gairy's controversial regime and implemented socialist policies until 1983.

She rode through London in a coach pulled by eight white bulls, wore dresses that scandalized Samuel Pepys into near-incoherence, and published critiques of both Hobbes and Descartes. She also wrote science fiction 152 years before *Frankenstein*. Her name was Margaret Cavendish — the woman who kept writing the future while her century tried to close the door.
The antique land of Korinthia is a place of wonders, with temples to mysterious gods on rugged mountains. But travel along the caravan routes can be maddening. #travel #history https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/greece/bus-travel.html?s=mc

🔥Why do so many gorgeous abandoned buildings get burned down?
This gorgeous derelict chateau in France was destroyed by a fire some years ago.
Every year so much history is lost to the flames, erased forever. All that workmanship and the stories, gone
