Johnson City, NY (ContentDesk) May 19, 2006 -- Global Bargains, Inc. has released version 2.0 of MetroModeler, 3D modeling software that makes it easy to create 3D models of buildings, streets, and cities, suitable for use in 3D art, video games, or television or motion picture special effects (http://www.metromodeler.com).MetroModeler is a Windows program centered around 2 very powerful utilities: a Random Building Generator and a Random City Generator. The Random Building Generator allows you to automatically generate a vast variety of architectural 3D models, ranging in complexity from simple houses to very intricate skyscrapers. Running this utility in batch mode, you can create more than 1000 high-quality 3D models while you are away from your computer. The Random City Generator allows you to generate entire 3D cities, using the 3D building models you created with the Random Building Generator.
Version 2.0 of MetroModeler adds much new functionality,
including a new "outskirts" interface that allows you to efficiently create very large 3D models of cities with thousands of buildings, in a way that minimizes the number of polygons that need to be created. The Random Building Generator has been enhanced so that it offers 1000% more structural variations than it produced in version 1.5.See http://www.metromodeler.com/GalleryOne.htm for a large gallery of 3D models made with the new release of MetroModeler.

MAJOR GENERATOR SHORTAGE: Electric Generators Direct.com Now Taking Backorders on All Portable Generators
The effects of Hurricane Charley and Frances are being felt far beyond Florida. The tag team tandem just put the entire portable generator marketplace on backorder. In Ohio, Tony Holder tried to purchase a generator at his local home improvement store, only to find the shelves empty with the entire inventory on a truck headed south. In Florida, new generators are as scarce as snowballs, with the demand overshadowing the supply. Customers are forced to wait in long lines with lottery numbers, hoping for a "chance" to get one of the few arriving generators.
Many customers, who were simply unable or unwilling to wait, jumped online to purchase generators directly from the manufactures. Even this supply evaporated.

Home Generators
Home generators are designed to provide electricity in times of power shortages or failures for a short duration of time. Home generators not only light up the house in case of power outages but also, depending on their capacity, provide power to run appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, furnaces, television and heaters.
Home generators are available in two types: portable and stationery or standby generators. In times of power shortages or disruption of power, small portable home generators can be used to run some selected appliances such as lights, refrigerators, furnaces and sump pump. Generators come in varying size and capacities ranging from 1 kilowatt to 100 kilowatt. Home generators run on diesel, gasoline, propane or natural gas.
The least expensive is the portable gasoline powered engine.
The size and type of generator depends on the requirement of a house owner. Is it required to power the entire house or to run just a few selected...
