How would you?

Trying to make a piece of chrome trim from a spline (white line in left image) I could just render it "radial", but it's not really round, it's an odd shape. How would you model it? TIA.

How can I scale this uniformly?

Long story short, I modeled these grandstands away from my game scene and once imported, the entire structures are too long. I need to shorten them, but as you can see from the top view, the pivot isn't aligned with the structures, so when I scale along the Y axis, it skews it. Not sure how to fix this. I've messed with the pivot reset/alignment tools and views (screen, world, etc) but nothing is doing what Im after. Thanks for any help! Mick

Path deform?

Hello, Im trying to use an object to fill a path, but I don't want to "stretch" it, I want it to repeat (instances?) to fill along the path. Am I using the wrong the modifier for this? (It's basically a section of wall for a racetrack I made, that I want to follow the line/path) Im sure I've done this before, but can't recall what Im missing here. Thanks!

CX600M noisy fan?

Hello. I have an old gaming pc with a CX600M PS that's got a noisy fan. Anyone know a good (budget) replacement that'll have the same cabling/plugouts, so I won't have to rerun all the wiring? Or maybe they're easily repairable? It's just an old rig I gave my mom to surf around the internet with. Thanks for any help, suggestions!

It's funny nobody in Salem even considers Sophia may have staged her own death?

I mean, the audience knows she didn't, but wouldn't any "detective" (or hell, rational person) at least mention the possibility? They found everything BUT her? She was on the run from the cops.. (And in 3 months or whenever they decide to bring her back, that's gonna be what happened. Just like everyone else that's "died" in the river over the years) Every once in a while, just a sprinkle of normalcy may help the story lines. Even if it doesn't go anywhere. Just something/anything to let you believe the entire show isn't a full on cartoon. Rant over.. lol

Landscape/topology from google images?

Is there a plugin or technique that allows using data (image) from google maps, to create landscape? Im building a racetrack and want to use google for the landscape/topology, if possible. I feel it'll be much more accurate than trying to guess at it. Thanks for any tips!
