3d Model of the US Constitutional Republic
NH House Representative Davenport ^ | 1/27/2012 | LiveFreeOrDieNH

Posted on 01/28/2012 3:00:08 AM PST by LiveFreeOrDieNH

I've developed a 3D model of the US Constitution. The linked video is the first attempt to use the model in the defense of Ordered Liberty.

I'm looking for feedback. Thank you,

Representative Davenport NH General Court

That is pretty darn cool.

It may be that it covers too much in one sitting, tho.

Hey, a fellow Blenderhead! Nice use of Constraints. Those things kill me sometimes.

I was taught to know your audience and find ways to connect with them; logic, humor, passion, and yes, even emotional appeal will help. The more the better!
I agree that emphasizing, “the people” is the key but I like that LFoDNH explained why the senate was originally meant to represent the states and not just the folks.
One area we have lost sight of is remembering that our creator gives us, the folks, our rights (and responsibilities) and our government is there to protect and preserve His gift.

Very cool. Had you been visualing the govt this way for a while prior to capturing it with the computer model?

CORRECT! people forget that governments are established to protect the rights of the people... individuals.

Yes. Basically, since reading the federalist papers around 2004. I have a bit of a science background, and when I read the federalist papers, I recognized the mathematics behind it. My friend and I did a presentation using the model about a 2 years back, but it was only on a chalk board. You need new media to get enough exposure to make a difference.

Thank you for the feedback. I agree with your critique. In this case I needed to get it out because I have legislation before the NH House which I’m doing follow-up videos to argue for.

It does deserve more passion. I’ll keep your points in mind in for the future.

I think you’re correct. It really has multiple concepts in one introduction. I had no choice due to time constraints, because I’m about to post follow-ups for specific legislation I have before the House, and I needed a baseline.

Wish I could claim credit. I couldn’t get my rig to work, so I paid a well known blender artist to rig it for me. I would give credit, but he is somewhat reluctant because the work is used for politics. Quality work he did. Very professional.

I think I answered this at another spot, so forgive the duplication. Yes, since around 2004, when I read the Federalist Papers, and recognized the underlying mathematics. A friend and I gave a presentation on a chalk-board, with a 3D handout about 2 years ago, but I had trouble rigging the model so that I could animate it. I hired a professional for the job in December, and have been scrambling to get something out in time for legislation I have before the NH House.

Yeah, thats the trick, to show the people are in charge. I have an idea, but the rig isn’t ready. Thanks for the input

My wife said she would use it to teach her classes, but for the information density - and the word “tensor.”

“link” would work in this context.

Great job! I am using blender to create a 3D Model of the engine room of my ship 30 years ago. plan to be able to lite off the plant and get underway... complete with steam and water leaks and noise...

Good job!!
