    what happens to your imperial flag if you fixture it outside your autogyro in space? i imagine it won't flutter, but will it freeze into a brittle solid and break?

    I get a text message when the NWS issues a weather alert. This morning my phone chimed at 5:57 AM to let me know that they're predicting severe thunderstorms in our area from Tuesday through Friday this week.

    Sucks for the holiday and I appreciate advanced notice but did they really have to send it out before 6:00 AM a full day before the weather is supposed to hit.

    We get texts about weather too, never quite sure what to do. Run away? Hide? Have a BBQ? Thought it was just an Aussie thing, like sheep weather alerts heh :o)

    Oh boy my turn to have a modem meltdown and spend hours on the phone to telco headdesks. Wonder if there is some modem fail flu going around? Ours died, RIP. Took ages and much telephone tree-ing to find a telco shop with the right modem in stock. Turned out it was the store in the next street *headdesk moar* Random Australian trivia: the biggest telco store in town doesn't answer phone calls, you gotta go there to find out if they have what you want.

    modem woes is all better nao?

    Yeah except with all the drama forgot to charge mobi and tablet so had a quiet morning today :>D

    Meanwhile, temperature range is nice and tolerable here, but AUUUGH, everything is coated with a thin sheen of muggy moisture.

    Real nice lukewarm day so far here :o)

    Thanks for all the compliments X3

    And ooh Misty's biguana is gonna eat that cake if you take your eye off it :O


    Hmmph... Left this rendering overnight (Eight hours rendering) and I notice the DoF is off ><
    Was too hard to tell early on D:

    With the camera so dang close to the object and the objects pretty small (I didn't scale them up much) the blur is so extreme. The camera focal length and stuff is affecting it too... I don't understand physical DoF much ^^; Was so easy in Cinema's native render (And slightly less so in Vue's) where it was just a "Start around here, end around there..." sort of setup and was just an estimated calculation you had control of. Indigo... Doesn't give you that freedom. Everything is dependant on how big the scene is (Is it milimeters or is it meters, etc) and what you do with the camera. Beyond that, you don't have any say in the matter *derp*


    Sigh. Anyway. Adding in Exit Portals this time (Which being an interior I should have done in the first place) and am re-rendering. Also changing the camera a bit to try and lessen the DoF. Don't get me wrong, I love DoF but things are out of focus that I don't want to be out of focus :B

    With EP's in. Two minutes of rendering each.
    Plenty faster so far, but it's still hard to tell what the DoF is gonna be like. I want it's head and most if not all of the chest and abdomen to be in focus :B

    The problem is how close the camera is to the critter....

    Changed it to a telephoto lens and stuff... Had to change the angle too since the desktop got in the way of the camera *shrugs*

    DoF still seems a tad extreme. Oh well, at least the head is in focus now ^^
    Changed the camera tonemapping from FC250CD to dscs315

    Ahh... Well technically is a small bonsai plant with an even smaller toy next to it, so the extreme blur is to be expected I guess

    If you have a smartphone there is a free Kodak app with a DOF calculator, is quite easy with that to see the relationship between lens focal length and lens aperture f-stop, and to calculate the depth of field for any arbitrary lens focal length and f-stop settings :o)

    Nah, I don't have a smartphone. My phone failed out of 1st grade - it's hardly smart :P

    Bad joke aside, the other thing that Indigo takes into account when calculating DoF is the scene scale. I have it set to cm right now. Changing it to mm completely blurred the entire image, and I'm going to try meters in a moment.

    *edit* Meh. Meters (As is) completely removed the DoF :<

    *Edit 2* I also noticed that the scene scale affects the bump strength. I have it set to 0.014 right here, and in the centimeter scale scene it's pretty strong, but in the meter scale scene it's almost non-existent.

    As much as I don't want to, I'm re-rendering it right now. Under a meter scale so there's no DoF this time (*sobs*) but still. I had to increase the bump scale by an entire decimal point, and it looks nice actually.
    Hmm~ I has too much freetime on meh hands if I'm really okay with 1hr+ "test renders' XD

    Leaping lizards! (big grin)

    Complaints: today is Official Boring Test Day. I'm sitting around watching timers count, making sure they're accurate. This involves tweaking a bit of hardware, then waiting up to 90 minutes to make sure it does The Right Thing(tm). Dull but important.

    Non-complaint: a beautiful day outside, going to get hot but not insanely hot. (smile)

    as much fun as waiting for a 90 minute render?


    trying out some IDL renders, dang it takes a while

    Yeah, about the same as waiting for a long render.. at least I can surf the Web while I wait!

    IDL does add a decent amount of time.. sigh.

    mkay after two and a half hours of rendering (I'm gonna let it sit just a little longer though) I paused it to save the image.

    I've picked three different camera models and saved the image using each of them - I put the name of the Response Function used in the corner. I dunno which one I like best o3o
