swipecityon Open-Source 3D Graphics Design: Where to Begin

Hi, you seem to know blender quite well, I'm trying to export an fbx file into unity 3d, but when I import it, it's not the rendered model, it's just the solid view model, not animated... :/

I'm trying to import this simulation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epyqHzoCxa0) without the camera view and the background image.

Thanks.

swipecityon Code club Senegal, where women are leading the way

I don't get why there are special programs for women. Here in Québec we see more and more women becoming doctors, teachers, nurses etc... Why aren't thre programs to help men adopt professions that are outnumbered by women ? I think today anyone can learn anything I they want to, it's all out there... just my 2 cents

swipecityon What do you guys think about my startup?

Great idea, I'll dig it up. Thanks for your input.

swipecityon What do you guys think about my startup?

I'm surprised that GPS and geofences has nothing to do with internet connections. I installed an App (EgiGeoZone) from the playstore, and made many geofences to get notifications. When my internet was on it was working well, but when my internet was turned off, I would receive notifications from various places that were not geofenced. Maybe you can give me some clue on how to improve precision without internet connection ? That would be very helpfull. Thanks for your comment :)

swipecityon What do you guys think about my startup?

We are doing a pilot projet in Québec city rigth now, our plan is to expand into other cities in the future. So right now when you download the app you just get the info of Québec city. Thanks for your suggestion. :)

swipecityon What do you guys think about my startup?

Yes we are working on a API so it would be easier to integrate content on the app and asign beacons to it, in the future we want to integrate muséums too. The idea is, one App for one city to explore it's culture. You won't need an app for one museum, and another app for another museum, and another app to explore the city. Thanks for your comment.

swipecityon What do you guys think about my startup?

Our target users are tourists, and tourists don't have internet connection when they travel, so the app is loaded with all the data when you download it, and the data is showed when you pass nearby a beacon, no need for internet, you just have to turn on your Bluetooth. We have tougth about using the GPS, and geofences, but withouth internet connection, it's not precise.

swipecityon What do you guys think about my startup?

Thanks. If you have downloaded the app, I would love some feedback.
