I'm pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time to get the drive to work.

Okay, so today, um, okay, so I obviously record in the future, or at least you don't hear this so many weeks after I do it.

So in my timeline, um, we, I just announced in my blog that Amun Ket is going to be at Tower was a top-down design.

And watching people respond to that, I really realize that there's still a lot of confusion

what exactly top-down means from bottom-up.

So today, I'm going to try explaining it in a little different way.

And then I'm going to go through all the sets in history, or the large

sets at least, and then talk about sort of what they did and how they did it. And I'll talk a little

bit of the evolution of sort of how we created, how we make sets. Okay, so, so start with, I'm going to

use a metaphor.

So let's say you are an artist and you want to figure out what you want to do.

There are two different ways that you can approach it.

So approach number of way is you can have a subject matter.

You can say, okay, I want to do this piece of art.

What am I going to do it on? I want to do this piece of art. What am I going to do it on?

I want to do a piece of art on Nelson Mandela.

Wow, how could I capture Nelson Mandela?

I really would like to capture his face and, oh, maybe I wanted some sort of three-dimensionality to it.

Oh, you know what?

Maybe I'll make a clay bust of Nelson Mandela.

The second way is a tool-based thing. Where you say, I'm going to make something, hmm, you know, I feel like clay.

I'm going to make something out of clay.
