    Look what I made in school, Mom!

    Dark Carnival drop.

    Kinda cool 'cause I found what Omnifreaker's mesh lights are for. All the light-bulbs in the render are emitting light and casting shadows.

    There. How does that sound like?

    Derivative.

    I find a lot of kids cartoons have these kinds of features. It doesn't change the fact that they're kids cartoons. It's not the story, it's how it presented. I have nothing against a father spending time, with this program, with his children. That's how it should be. I have no children (not that I didn't want to, it just worked out that way), but I had nieces and nephews visiting often. I recorded Fraggle Rock (the original, not the cartoon), The Bearenstain Bears, and maybe one other. I actually really enjoyed Fraggle Rock. But that doesn't mean I'd go to conventions and dress up like one of them!!! There's a line. We have a kind of tradition on Christmas. When the family is all together, we watch Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas. It's muppets. It's intended for kids. But it's cute, funny and touching. But I don't get in an otter costume.

    I'm just sayin'. :smirk:

    Why do people complain about changes than accept the changing? Life changes. Things do nit stay the same.

    ...because sometimes change that is based on human influence is not always good and can be a negative rather than positive thing (like what happened here ten months ago or is occurring with the transit system where I live) .

    Is that built in to DS4.5? Or is it something you have to buy?

    *shrug* I can't help it if people don't see that they're having fun in a way which is different from others. But they are having fun, that's for sure. It is no different from cosplaying a Disney Princess, Sailor Moon character, or other forms of cosplay. I can, as a counter, post some really cool cosplay pictures that aren't mock-worthy, but what's the point? There's always that iffy minority everywhere, no matter what hobby, including 3D, which makes things mock-worthy.

    I must, however, note some other points made by the show:

    1) Father-figures aren't portrayed as bumpling idiots who don't know which end of a baby needs the bottle and which needs the diaper. Mr. Carrot Cake is shown to take care of his babies with the same efficiency and no-nonsense as Mrs. Cupcake (his wife), and that this is something perfectly normal that fathers do.
    2) Realistic expectations: when Twilight Sparkle participates into a running contest, not having run one before, she does not somehow become the winner, but scores fifth place nonetheless. When Fluttershy goes through a training montage to increase her wingpower, she does not leap from zero to hero, but achieves notable improvement in any case. Which ends up making the difference between failure and winning.

    There are plenty of similar things dotted all over the show. Little things that set it apart from all other shows.

    Just sayin', rushing to judge it too fast is doing yourself a disservice.

    I can get Vue 11 Studio for $259 for the next 3 days! :ahhh: :ahhh:

    Is ti worth it? Should I go for it? Should I get my head examined? :ahhh: :ahhh:

    Vue 11 Studio for less than the cost of a night at the strip club! :ahhh: :ahhh:

    I should probably pass on it, given my circumstances.. sigh. :blank: :blank: :down:

    *edit* Bah, nevermind - not going to be a CG pro, I'll save my money. :down: :down:


    ...well I just DL'd the PLE version of Vue Infinite11. This is the full programme, sans network rendering, that is available for personal use. No proof of student/faculty status required. This is just one of the software tools used in the creation of Avatar. If I am hoping to save up for a true pro grade app like this, I really want to know how to use it first.

    I owned Vue Esprit back in the day, it was fun to play with but had some real annoying limitations, Vue 11 looks incredibly powerful, but since this is just a hobby there's no way I can justify the expense. :blank:

    Have fun with the PLE! :)

    ...thank you, I plan to. Have to look at all options for making a living even if it requires investment into it.

    I've been to several Trek and Comic Cons. If I had a costume, and if I could get up the nerve to wear it, I would.
    And if you think the Conventions can be odd, try being at a Midnite showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, LOL.
