Kirra now has a fantastic new tool. It's the ramp and road tool and it is quite unique!
💥Generate edge windows,
💥high walls and low walls,
💥berms and crossfall!
All in one tool, essentially with the correct ramp setup you can build your entire pit shell. Or you can just do a road network.
You can generate the windrows in three dimensions allowing for their volume in the design. Or you can just allocate the space for them. Anchor from the centreline, right or left side of the ramp. Each increment segment can be modified on the fly.
It's taken a bit of time to develop but I think you'll be impressed.

💥UPDATED TRIMESH BOOLEAN LIBRARY 💥
In order to manage these freaking monster triangulations that I keep getting, in Kirra, from every one. I have had to move Kirra to an Indexed Mesh triangles. This has meant that everything that is shared vertex pool (BrentsMegaSoup) has needed a rewrite. Now accepting indexed inputs.
Bla Bla Bla but what it means is that trimeshboolean has had some updates to allow for indexed mesh inputs and outputs.
Everyone that told me openmesh boolean functions were too hard underestimated my tenacity. I believe that Kirra's editmesh tools and trimeshboolean library and bespoke in app meshing system is second to none.
I received some solids built in Vulcan and easily remediated the 100+ nonmanifold zero area triangles with one button click using the cleanmesh tool in Kirra then corrected the triangle winding order with another and resolved minor volume issues.

A DEVELOPER WALKED ON STAGE DRESSED AS A 1973 ENGINEER AND "PREDICTED" THE FUTURE OF PROGRAMMING. THE TWIST: EVERYTHING HE DESCRIBED WAS ALREADY INVENTED 40 YEARS EARLIER AND WE STILL REFUSE TO USE IT.
32 minutes from Bret Victor, doing the most quietly savage talk on our entire industry.
-> The idea that lands: we write code as step-by-step text instructions and call that "Just how programming is". He shows four better ways -- all discovered in the 60s and 70s, all abandoned.
Manipulate the data directly instead of typing blind code. Tell the machine your goal instead of every tiny step. We saw all this, then walked away.
Why? The moment you're sure you know what programming is, you stop seeing anything better. That certainty is the cage.
And now AI is dragging us back to exactly what he begged for -- you describe the goal in plain words, the machine works out the how. The future he mourned is arriving anyway.
You thought text files were just how code works. This is the talk that shows it was a choice, and maybe the wrong one.
Watch this one. It'll ruin how you see your job ↓

A MATHEMATICIAN WAS LAUGHED AT FOR STUDYING "ROUGHNESS" -- CLOUDS, COASTLINES, PRICES, THINGS TOO MESSY FOR REAL MATH. THEN HE SHOWED ONE TINY FORMULA, REPEATED, BUILDS INFINITE COMPLEXITY AND IT DESCRIBES REALITY BETTER THAN THE SMOOTH MATH EVERYONE WORSHIPPED 79 minutes from Benoit Mandelbrot at MIT, introduced by the father of chaos theory. -> The idea that lands: the real world is not smooth. It is rough, jagged, self-repeating and that roughness has an exact mathematics, where one simple rule looped over itself spins out endless detail. A coastline, a fern, a stock chart -- zoom in and you find the same shape again, forever. Smooth equations are a polite lie we tell about a jagged world. Fractals are what reality actually looks like. This is how generative models work too -- simple operations repeated at scale until staggering complexity falls out. He found the principle decades before the machines. You thought messy meant random. This is the talk that shows messy has a law. Bookmark this. Watch it once, see patterns everywhere ↓

@ALeighMP If you did something about something you could say something but you political elites do nothing, stand for no Australian and sell everything off to fill your coffers. The only thing one nation is dividing is the moron political weirdos from Australians who love this country.

Talk about misleading. They call themselves “One Nation”, but they’re all about dividing people. #auspol

@RazorFist Inherited wealth is important! You inherited knowledge, assets and money. Without it many would never amount to anything except taxpayer sponges.

Fortunately, she inherited his large face.

Daniel Craig's daughter won't receive a large inheritance from her dad, as he finds inheritances "distasteful" and does not "want to leave great sums to the next generation." He told Insider, "My philosophy is to get rid of it or give it away before you go."

Pauline Hanson has told supporters she'll lead a growing underground movement in Australia to "take back" her country.
And she's certainly making an impact, with a leading election analyst revealing One Nation's rise is part of a radical change likely to spell the end of our old two-party system.

One Nation has raised over $3 million from more than 50,000 donors through its 'Fire the Liar' fundraiser targeting the Prime Minister's broken tax promises.

@SecRubio @SenatorWong Really? Truth is not something these politicians are any good at!!!!

It was great to meet with Australian Foreign Minister @SenatorWong on the margins of the Quad Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in New Delhi today.
We're making sure our alliance and partnership benefits Americans and Australians alike, and our collaboration through the Quad is a force for a more stable, secure, prosperous world.

Russell Crowe stopped a mob of autograph seekers in Paris and made his terms very clear.
"Don't fu*king push in on me. As soon as somebody's a dick, I'm gone."
Honestly, fair enough.
