Dana, you too can become an obsessive cheese grater collector.
Plus a Beagle update drop: I tried to incorporate your suggestions by making the hair longer, and making it lie flatter against the skin. I also found out what was causing the extra sheen and toned it down. I played around with some of the settings to get the hair to look more like fur and reposed the tail. And moved the dog so the light pole doesn't stick out of his head. :lol:
I'm too obsessive as it is, I don't need to add another thing to the list! :red:
That looks great!
Dana
That looks pretty good, too!

Morning. Dawn creeping pink across an eggshell blue sky, and hot again. Hot hot hot. More hot forecast until next week. At least there was a cool morning or two in between :)
That looks pretty good, too!
Dana
Thanks, is hard work phew :)
Good morning! :coolsmile: Hide from the big hot thing in the sky until it goes away! :bug:
Complaint: I have no discipline! If I could make myself write just 250 words a day, I could do a full novel a year with time left over for small projects! :bug: :bug:
I need to work on the reward system, I think: no beer or chat until I write 250 words! Either in outlining, character development, etc. but no fun until the words are done! :ahhh: :ahhh:
Beer should work a treat. Starting Monday: NO BEER UNTIL I WRITE 250 WORDS! :bug: :gulp:
Let's see how long I can keep it up... :-S

Thank you.
No discipline? Welcome to the club. I am the President for Life. :lol:

no beer? as in write while cold sober? interesting.
What was the sheen? With LAMH backlight/no shadows makes the frizzy bits pop but that's not a real useful setup most of the time:
There is a setting in the Garibaldi Editor called "salting" that throws random white hairs in. I had it on by mistake.
Thanks for that, still trying to figure out a workable shading strategy and every bit helps :)
iz spooky winds outside. upstairs called me to bring my new patio table inside, cuz a wind gust could break a window. iz bistro size, but can never underestimate wind gusts. hard to believe now, hurricane Sandy was a whole 4 months ago. i should make up a batch of muffins in case of losing power.
Stop wussing and toss 150K-200K at it. Speaking as someone who did that in beta testing. ;) Remember that human head has 90K-120K hair alone.
Seriously, though -- you need more hair on that beast. Also, pay attention to root and tip thickness.
Looks like that's how it will end up, but I'll need at least a hundred or so frames of movement at a time and am really conscious that I'm gonna be watching every one of them render. Still, pushing Studio to the max feels like a way to go, TY :lol:
Dancing Cactus is pretty cool :coolsmile:
Good morning! :coolsmile: Hide from the big hot thing in the sky until it goes away! :bug:
Going to laze around in the pool this afternoon :)
No pain, just a mild stiffness. I'm in decent shape! :)
That is good to hear :)
This is a real cool pre-Columbian mailing list, been on it for years http://www.famsi.org/listinfo.html
Nutz to hurty heads :)
Good luck with all that Misty *hugs*
thanks :)
trusty flashlight ready at my bedside. i boiled water for tea and filled a thermos carafe, prolly won't be hot in the morning. as prepared as can be. buppy's canned food is pop lid, don't need can opener. didn't bother setting the alarm clock. i'll call in when i wake up. don't expect they'll be expecting me tomorrow.
the wind was not at my back on the way home, front of my legs is a lil cold chapped, skin stings a lil in spots. brr brr brrr
...2$? What a deal
A Day ticket here costs 5$!
A one way fare with (hopefully*) a 2 hr transfer is 2.50$.
...and more bus service reductions are in the cards.
*Today I was "shorted" by a half hour & feared I would have to pay a second fare to get all the way home. This has occurred in the past.
Well, that blows! Day pass here is $2, 30 day pass is $30.. best transit deal in the country, I think.
Bus cuts, feh. Feh. FEH!
...yeah, our commission is head over heels gaga in love with Light Rail. I feel we are living the Simpson's Monorail" episode, where the flim-flam man comes to Springfield and sells them on a monorail line telling them they aren't a "real city" unless they have one.
A monthly pass is 100$. I can't afford that kind of outlay at the beginning of the month with rent and other bills also due. I have to use ticket books to spread the cost out to fit my budget which is both more expensive in the long run and more limited. They used to have a seven day pass where you scratched off (like on a lottery ticket) the dates it was to be valid for, but like anything simple, useful, and economical, they discontinued it. The new version can only be purchased at an automated ticket machine which are only located at light rail stations (none near where I live without going out of my way), and are instantly activated at time of purchase. You can't buy one in advance (like with the old ones) unless you don't mind losing one day's use.
They continually make it more complicated, discouraging, and inconvenient to ride the bus and are under the delusion that will attract more to want to use the system.
They also recently raised the minimum age for senior fares from 61 to 64 (yeah I was "that close" to finally getting a break). It used to be 55 when I first moved here.
...use something like a thin steel ruler. Place it behind the spine label before inserting and slowly slide both down into the spine pocket. Once the label is in, slowly pull the ruler out. Note: this will not work with a ruler that has a cork "non skid" backing. Actually any strip of thin steel will work. It also helps to open the binder up when inserting the spine as that relieves tension on the spine area.
...bugger, my Office 2K install disk is corrupted. Can't get a replacement as it is no longer supported.
I like Access, Excel, and Word 2K because they are so much more elegant and simple to use compared with the newer versions (particularly Awful2010).
...well things are close to winding down at the workplace. Did the final inventory counts and "pack out" yesterday and this morning in preparation for shipping the remainder of the client's stock. Spent a good part of the day today creating the shipping manifests and orders. Will be doing the same tomorrow morning before the truck arrives for the pickup in the afternoon. Not a really bad task as it is pretty routine, particularly compared to what my supervisor and I have gone through over the last two months.
Looking really empty in several areas of the warehouse (this client's stock took up a majority of the space). Kind of sad in a way.
Was able to get out a bit early today and rode home with a co-worker. Cooked up a big pot of Jambalaya which will last for another dinner this week.
When they switch over to their next store software. ;)
Folks seem to forget that the old store had as many, and often more, glitches than this one does. I recall PC discounts ($0.99 PC items) that bounced to 'full price' after the $0.99 sale ended...
That one was explained, repeatedly, but people never paid attention to the explanation. To do the sale, they had to be temporarily taken out of the "Platinum Club" category. So if you came in between when the system automatically ended the sale, and when they ran the procedure to put the items back in the PC category, they were at their full price. It wasn't the software behaving erratically, it wasn't a sign that the system was unstable, and those of us who actually used our heads for something other than a hat rack knew to expect it... every single time there was a sale on PC items. That's not a glitch, that's an unfortunate and undesirable feature. But since it was completely predictable, and explainable, you didn't panic. As for the downloads problems, the majority that I saw were the result of connection speeds and reliability.
I'll have a good though for you. From experience, all you can do is prepare and then hunker down, although with us it's either fire of flood, can't imagine all that freezy cold, especially today, is around 95 here :)

Exactly right! Too bad there are more hat racks around here than brains, or so it would seem. By "here", I don't mean in this thread, I mean in the forums at large. Actually, maybe I mean society at large.
The old site, with it's bailing wire and bubble gum, was a far cry better than this new one!

...trying to install on an XP machine. The workstation is only getting 3D and 2D apps (and related content/plugins) on it, no productivity software or games.
180 000 fibres, getting there although there's something NQR about the fur shader, needs reflect or shiny something. Around six and a half minutes for a 2048 x 857 frame, so an uprez x4 or even x3 is going to be...a long wait between frames :lol:
No wonder men I know are looking tired, turns out their Y Chromosome is twice as old as we thought :lol:

This was hilarious. A trailer for a short film:
