Link Exchange for Imagineers

We are not the worlds greatest wordsmiths so we have used Centrals AI for an uplift in our SEO judgement to benefit all MAKERS & COSplayers in a Link Exchange for Imagineers.

Below are two versions of this Tech-Blog Post or Request… we hope you find the last one  FUN! -)

Link Exchange for Imagineers

Link Exchange for Imagineers

TO-THE-POINT version 

Link Exchange for Imagineers: To all those who follow IDM and are Makers with a WebSite.

We are working on our SEO and online PR and need a few backlinks to rate higher across the cursed search engine.
And we can do the same PR and backlinks here for you. We could exchange an article or blogg about our maker specialities or fandom, art, inspiration, COSplay.
You do not have to be a Dredd armourer, probably best for us both if your Genre is different to what we do here at IDM.

Hey ChatGPT. Rewrite this blog in the storyline or theme of Judge Dredd comics:

Backlinks in Mega-City One: Forge Your Web Presence

In the crime-ridden streets of Mega-City One, where justice is swift and brutal, a new battle is brewing—online visibility.

Deep within the towering walls of the Internet, the webmasters of the Inter-Dimensional Market (IDM) have embarked on a perilous quest to conquer the Search Engine Overlords and rise above the ranks. And they are calling upon fellow denizens of Mega-City One to join forces in the form of link exchanges.

Judge Dredd himself, the relentless enforcer of the law, has taken notice of this online endeavour. Despite his relentless pursuit of justice, even Dredd understands the importance of search engine optimisation (SEO) and online PR.
In a rare moment of collaboration, Dredd offers his support to IDM and its Makers with WebSite shops.

I’m working on our SEO and online PR and need a few backlinks to rate higher across the cursed search engine,” announces the determined IDM webmaster. The stakes are high, as the search engine rankings hold the key to survival in the unforgiving digital realm. Dredd, ever the pragmatist, recognises the value of a mutually beneficial arrangement.

I can do the same for you,” Dredd responds stoically, a glimmer of possibility in his eyes. “Write an article about what your specialty is.” His proposition is clear: unite under the banner of backlinks, and together, they can soar above the noise and chaos of the web.

The offer comes with a caveat—a divergence from IDM’s core expertise of Dredd Armory. The IDM webmaster insists that it’s best for both parties involved if their Genre is different. Diversity, after all, breeds strength and attracts a wider audience.

And so, the Tech Judges of Mega-City One heed the call, forging alliances amidst the sprawling virtual landscape. Each one writes an article highlighting their unique specialisations, their own corner of the vast cybernetic universe. From mutant genetics to rogue robotics, from psychic phenomena to street-level vigilantism, a tapestry of interconnected knowledge begins to take shape.

The Department of Justice’, SEO Division, becomes a conduit for this newfound unity, the embodiment of their collaborative spirit. With each backlink exchanged, the strength of their collective SEO efforts grows, paving the way for a brighter future in the unforgiving realm of search engine rankings.

As the dust settles in Mega-City One, the impact of their collaboration becomes evident. The webmasters of IDM and their newfound allies rise through the ranks of the search engine, their presence felt far and wide. The citizens of Mega-City One now have a direct path to the knowledge and services they seek, thanks to the power of link exchanging.

In this web of interconnections, forged through the lens of Judge Dredd’s indomitable spirit, they stand tall, triumphant in their conquest of the digital frontier. The battle for online visibility is far from over, but united under the banner of backlinks, they have become an unstoppable force in the Judge Dredd universe.

Remember, in the relentless pursuit of online dominance, one thing remains certain—

MAXON Cinema 4D Plug-Ins and Scripts

MAXON Cinema4D

RENAME BOOLEANS by Type [FREE Cinema 4D Plug-Ins and Scripts]

We like to work with a parametric workflow so that we can change our geometry up and down the design path.

By using non-destructive Boolean operations we can amend objects, splines, extrusions and MoGraph effectors and refine our designs on hind-sight 🙂

With nested Boolean operations it is easy to lose ones mind and a name of just ‘Boole’ for every Boolean object is not helpful or descriptive.

So we wrote this simple Python script for MAXON Cinema4D to quickly rename all our Booleans so we can see at a glance exactly what each one does.

Here is a short Video of what it does:

Star Wars inspired Helmet

Star Wars [inspired] Helmet for a Full Suit.

Another update on the slow progress of this personal, in-house project at IDM Imagineering.

This full suit of Star Wars inspired Helmet for our Stormtrooper Armour is being printed on our Creality CR10-S4 and FormBOT TREX 3d Printers in white, recycled PLA Filament.

The hardest part has been keeping the print as clean and white as possible while we glue and sand and smooth the parts. The 3D prints were fantastically smooth to start with, but some of the curves always suffer from stepping layers in FDM 3D printing.

We have tried to keep to using metal files to sand/smooth, since sand comes off all sandpapers then discolours and embeds itself in the white PLA. A combination of filing, scraping, shaving and 3D-pen welding has gone into achieving a first-look great result!

Next: onto the painting!..
