Aaa ! Yes, now I understand your idea, but it seems to me that scaled
models can be of different categories too. Maybe we can use this
property as a tag, or similar to mark objects in other categories ?

Humanoids can include aliens as well as terrestrial humans. Of course, the
likelihood of an actual ETI resembling humans is slim to none, but humanoid ETIs
are all over science fiction, an science fiction is all we have to go on, until
some real ETI shows up.
(I mead a *real* ETI. Not a Frisbee, not a top secret military project, not a
reflection of a streetlight in your car window, not the planet Venus, and not
some hallucination/repressed fantasy of being probed.)

How about "Kitchen Items"?

"Microbes" could round this out. There is already a coronavirus in the
collection.

yes. the "rocket", for instance, would then be vehicles, rail and scale model.
(was initially thinking of using 'replica' but like 'scale model' better :-))

maybe we should keep to primary colours, to avoid pulling in 'colors.inc'. ;-)

kitchen, yes, will take that. (more please)

perhaps some 4th level 'microscopic' and 'macroscopic' ? that said, the whole
'organic forms' "tree" needs revising, bettering.
thanks for all the comments, so far.

I looked through this classification, maybe we can use some categories
from it ?

Then, people could sign up to handle specific items, and hyperlinks could be
added to items already modeled, thus keeping everything together in one handy
reference document as well as keeping it up-to-date without having a 500-page
thread.
> Abstract Forms
This is a hard one to pin down. Many of these come about through doodling or
"failed" projects. They are functions and surfaces and blobs.
I might call this a "meta-category", as it might be a good catch-all for things
like patterns, mathematical surfaces, functions, L-systems and other algorithms,
or even simple scenes using primitives and CSG that _result_ in "abstract forms"
(such as a Wada Basin).

To whatever extent possible, it would make such things more usable (and
therefore likely to be used more) if they were parameterized and coded for
clarity rather than speed/performance.
Have the object take its pigments/textures as arguments/variables, so that those
are all easily modified as well.
Objects that are designed to be placed ON something would likely best be modeled
with the bottom center at the origin, and likewise, things that get hung by
ropes, hooks, nails - would have the attachment point at the origin.
It's often "easy" to model the usual CGI something-or-other, but the more
sophisticated and sought after objects are the ones that have those added
elements of imperfection to make them more realistic and less plastic and fake
looking.
Also, a certain degree of modularity would help the collection expand more
rapidly. It might be nice to make a screwdriver or chisel - but if you made a
HANDLE, then it would be easy to match that up with a variety of screwdrivers,
files, chisels, gouges, and other tools, especially if the handle is
parameterized and the textures can easily be changed from wood to metal to
plastic to carbon fiber....

The categories Microscopic and Military looked like sub-categories by
indentation. I'd think they both are major categories?
Isosurfaces - perhaps Isosurfaces & Parametrics ?
I see capital letters... He can find the shift keys! Keys which probably
squeak like there is no tomorrow on being used. :-)

hi,

squeak like there is no tomorrow on being used. :-)
YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET...
(<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cia_v4vxfE> :-))
> The categories Microscopic and Military looked like sub-categories

unsure (did I mention I'm crap at naming stuff ? :-)), to me they're like
interior + exterior, "qualifiers", rather than categories per se; eg CR's
coronavirus, it'd be 'organic forms' and 'terrestrial fauna' primarily, I guess,
and 'microscopic' too.
a v brief recap of the mechanism. the identation is, in a sense, misleading,
because it shows a hierarchy[*] (in the UI). though if I select 'rail' for eg
the "rocket", then it is just 'rail'. it only becomes a 'vehicle' when that
label too is selected.
[*] which could be constructed from the table, but currently isn't.
the recent suggestions (from both you and BE) have been added. I probably went
over the top with the 'functions', nudged by you; must be all the recent work
on/with functions in the NGs. :-)
I've decided to add 'inorganic' to the 'abstract forms', as BE points out,
difficult to (sub-)categorise. 'astronomy' under 'space' is meant for "based on
observation/measurement data using/providing objects, as many items in BE's list
imply. re the architectural, 'infrastructure' standing for dams, canals, etc,
and 'historical/monument' to cover the castles + fortresses and so on.
below the final draft (close to, anyway).
(and sorry re delay, had meant to reply days ago)
regards, jr.

hi,
replying to the various categories suggested in reply to WFP,
but thanks, I knew there was more than just an orange stapler ;-).
re "Lakes of Wada" -- wow.

everything in one place and collaborative is appealing. (personally have
no "office" s/ware other than Google Docs/Sheets/etc, which I never use)

worth repeating, _very_ much agree. modular, "inter-operating" objects
would be ideal.
thinking that, perhaps, "BE + CR" would make a fine combo to set out a list
of suggested criteria for (future) object collection submissions. ;-)
