    See the new Earth and Moon super bundle? I wonder how much work went into that. The earth images are almost certainly NASA images, I think I recognize some of them. So, that means you pay for them twice...once in your taxes for NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope and such, and once for the product. Of course, I'm sure he/she adds value with the optimization of the materials and such, and the other features. But another strange thing...there's no PA name listed! Another Magento thing? Not solely, that's a data entry thing. But Magento shouldn't have allowed such a gap in data. That should be a required field!!!

    So I lost my pen that goes with my graphic tablet... I was so upset and thought I wouldn't be able to do any art D:

    But I tried anyway, and ended up doing this with just my mouse :<<br /> A raptor that runs errands :3

    (And the text to the left says "Raptor" in Japanese.)

    Hey Ps1, are you finding youtube videos aren't loading, or are loading badly, much much worse just in the past few days? ... switching resolution seems to result in the little "cog" spinning around a little, then doing nothing... and sometimes the ads that are supposed to start don't... and you stare at a black screen for 20s, then the real vid starts... and stutters... and stops?

    ..snipped earlier quotes...
    I love walking and hiking - we have a ton of trails here bus-accessible. Once I have better shoes I'm going to start hiking again, I'll post pics of the places I go.

    Have fun shopping, if possible! Nap time here.. argh..

    We used to hike a lot when we went on vacation to New Hampshire. Recently not so much...virtually no cartilage remains in my left knee, so it gets kind of painful. I still do sometimes, but not the really long hikes we used to do. Once we hiked up Cannon Mt. We took the tram back down, though. Down is always worse on the knees. I got some nice scenic images though with my Canon A1's, and later with my Hasselblad.

    I actually like shopping, most of the time. After a while it starts to hurt, though. We stocked up on a lot of things.

    Dana

    Dang, sorry to hear about your knee - that sucks. (frown frown)

    I'm glad you got shopping done, though! I dread shopping.. urgh.

    I woke up in dead of night to two reasons:
    1) Need to hop to the bathroom
    2) and my dream was interrupted by my subconsciousness going "Lady, you're MESSED UP. I refuse to continue seeing this dream, so waking up right NOW."

    It seems that for whatever reason, my anxiety has flared up and it is weaseling its way to my dreams. Ugh. At least I haven't hit the dreamscape of Endless Corridors, Hallways, Staircases and Doors yet; that's weapons grade anxiety setup...


    Oh, man, I get the Endless Corridors thing myself - usually the lights go out as I run, and there's something terrifying in the darkness chasing me.


    Last time I had one I managed to get lucid towards the end and turn around and charge the thing, I woke up *BOOM* and haven't had that particular flavor for a couple of years!


    Of course, now I get the Stone Plains With Melting Demonesses. In no way is this any kind of improvement!!!

    Pouring rain here, local flood watches. Got soaked getting into, and out of, the taxi. Supposed to stop before I go home, we'll see, I brought my umbrella.

    I hope you can stay dry!! (blug blug face)

    I'm OK with that. I grabbed all the free 3D OBJ plants I could find, they'll make a nice addition to Lisas Botanicals.

    Too bad DS4.6 doesn't have instancing.. I smell a feature request! (evil grin)

    More cawwwwwwwwwfeeeeeeeeeeee, I'm damp n tired inside and out. (frownie)

    The problem with RingTFM is the lack of a full M.

    Ummm...DS 4.6 does have instancing doesn't it? Create->New Node Instance/New Node Instances

    Also Create->New Geometry Shell. That one allows you to use different textures I believe but I haven't played with it.

    This was done really quick to double check myself. 1 Elephant with 10 instances. All instances can be moved/scaled sepereately

    Which is why I personally suggest the Monkey Method.

    Imagine yourself as a curious monkey, and try everything with the idea "What happens if I do THIS?"

    You do know that the end of the world will probably be proceeded by someone saying "I wonder what happens if I press this button?" :)

    Too true. Well, VTFV (Watch The Freaking Videos) works well, I learned how to use Genesis and shaders that way.. I think grabbing a beer when I get home and sitting down in front of YouTube (or even that "choose lesson" button on the DS interface) might serve me in good stead. (wry face)
