    ...if you had PP1014 you could actually do that:

    Today has been stupid insane at work, and soon I'll get to sit in 97f temp at the bus stop. (ahhh face)

    Thankfully my diabetes is mild enough that I can get away with a few beers if dinner is almost 100% protein. I've monitored my blood glucose and it stays under 180 even when I'm getting seriously blasted (heh).. I just need to NOT take my pill as metformin and alcohol are a very very bad mix. No booze for 8 hours after I take my pill, the doc said!

    There's a weird effect - if you drink enough, your blood sugar DROPS! (shock face) I read about it online, asked my doc and he said yeah - it happens. Soooooo, being willing to experiment on myself in the name of SCIENCE, one Saturday night I started in and took my blood glucose every hour.. and despite eating and drinking beer.. indeed, the sucker dropped from about 192 down to 125 without meds! (shock face) Of course, you have to get pretty buzzed and if done daily you'd croak from liver damage, but it's an interesting data point.

    I'm going to go home, whip up some smoked sausage and cheese (about 4g of carb) and have a few cold ones! (cool smile) I'll drain one on everyone's honor! Maybe I'll try a glass demon render too!


    ...heh.

    Heh heh heh.. indeed! (beer chug emote)

    Home with groceries! More smoked sausage, pecan smoked kielbasa, cheese, pepperoni, a HUGE bag of microwavable buffalo wings (24 for less than 8 fro Pizza Hut cost) and microwavable grilled chicken strips! And.. beer.. (red face)

    The reason for all the microwaveable stuff is that there's no oven here. I have a 2 burner cooking area (one large one small burner, electric) but I don't want to have to deal with no dishwasher and no garbage disposal. (meh face) As far as I can tell, the ONE thing I can't find to microwave is pre-cooked burger patties - they all clearly said "Do not microwave for best flavor", so if I want burgers it's Whataburger (fair enough).

    Yum, smoked sausages dipped in A1 sauce, and a Red Stripe beer! (cool smile emote)

    Rudolph the red-tailed squirrel

    And if you ever saw him
    You would point and say "That's gross!"
    All of the other squirrels
    Went and hid under some mud
    They didn't to end up
    Soaking up poor Skiriki's blood!

    AGAGAGAGAHAHAH!

    I went to bed, played for a while, then got ready to fall asleep, and my nose begins gushing blood like Niagara Falls. (It was already doing that earlier during daylight hours.)

    This sucks!


    ...ugh, not good.

    Used to get them regularly back in college. Discovered it was due to prolonged contact with turpentine fumes as I spent a lot of time in the painting studio. Turpentine is not only a paint remover, but also used as part of the medium for oil painting, particularly when building colours using thin layers of paint like the Renaissance masters would do. Mixing a bit into the paint would speed up the drying process so the next layer could be put down without pulling up or mixing into the previous one. Very tedious process but one that would give such lovely depth and that characteristic glow to skin tones.
    Back in the Stone Age when I was painting in oils on the cave walls with a stick, I had to switch to linseed oil as a thinning medium as the turps was giving me headaches. Lacking the patience for letting each layer dry a bit before painting further (otherwise I was producing gray mud instead of a painting) I eventually switched to acrylics. Then I got into digital painting and eventually 3D programs. Now I have to be too patient again, because renders take me longer than oil painting did; I can't bring myself to render in less than high quality ray-tracing.
    I have come full circle, in a way. :D

    This took about 18 min. It's 600x600, and was rendered with a raytrace depth of 8 and a shading rate of 0.5 on my Intel quad core. It's a purely default shader - in my testing and fiddling it appears that refraction + raytraced reflection = decent water, so SSS or other fancy shaders are pretty unnecessary for this specific thing (although you definitely want them for other stuff, I LOVE them on skin). I turned off the mouth, teeth, tongue, eyelashes and sclera. Next time I would turn off the nostrils too, I think.


    Like I said, it's resource-expensive. :D But I was excited to be able to get this result in 3Delight without special shaders, Luxus, or Reality.

    Does look nice

    I have hankies up my nose,

    I wanted to sleep,
    But there'll be no sleep tonight.

    I'd try counting Eurohippies,
    But that doesn't help me sleep,
    Because they're all extinct.
    So I'll have to count some sheep.

    No, but it once gave birth to a horrible green ball the size of an alien egg... TMI, yes.

    Uhh... well, think positively: it is AFTER dinner, not BEFORE dinner...

    Ooh ooooh! My turn, my turn! :D

    Also using default Specular material (That's the transparent/reflective one in Indigo) and hidden the mouth stuff and eyelashes :3
    Using Michael 3 and rendered for 17 minutes

    Cool! What is Indigo?

    A bit like AoA's SSS shaders? ;-)
    ...pretty much, save for the fact it all had to be done by eye rather than by numbers.

    http://www.indigorenderer.com/

    "From Photon to Photograph}


    It's got amazing integration with Cinema 4D and SketchUp ^_^

    There was talk about an exporter for one of DAZ's products (D|S most likely), but it wasn't from a programmer, so it's likely the idea got forgotten about pretty quickly. If more folks around here knew about Indigo and it's capabilities, maybe someone might develop one. From what I've seen so far, the only thing LuxRay has over Indigo is Pool Caustics (And caustics in general) rendering speed. As for Octane, dunno.


    http://kokolores123.deviantart.com/ Does a ton of awesome 3D stuff, almost exclusively C4D + Indigo. Not all of it is architectural stuff - there's also abstract and scifi and some environments and fantasy.
    This one is one of my favs:

    ...well clouds parted mid afternoon so I decided to head up to the cable office. When I got there there was a sign on the building that they moved the service centre to the east side of town requiring three buses each way (which have bad connections usually just missing each other) and 5$ in bus fare to get there and back..


    They're not making this easy.


    ..strike one.
