    A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
    The man below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude and between 58 and 60 degrees west longitude."
    "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
    "I am," replied the man, "but how did you know?"
    "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."
    The man below responded, "You must be a manager."
    "I am," replied the balloonist, "how did you know?"
    "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are exactly in the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

    :lol: :lol: Okay, now both corners are up; btw, that's a variation I have never heard before. Most of the time I hear the version that cuts off after the first riposte.

    More wishlist items on sale at Rendo. This checks content money is now spent, but I got some V4 gear I needed to dress the evil antagonist in The Vicky Chronicles.


    Saturday is moving day! Should take me about 1-2 hours to move all my stuff, then it's a trip to the grocery store to stock the fridge up with cookables and BEER! No going out until Sunday, I'm going to stay hone and set my place up.. might even sit down and put the new computer together (even though I need one last thing to connect it to the KVM switch).


    Roast beef sub for lunch, and unsweetened ice tea! I forgot the sub place had unsweetened. Sleepy now...

    I'm cutting back on the strippers for a while, to focus on getting my Web comics off the ground. Maybe hot women once a moth or so (lol)!!!

    I tried to get back to school in the fall but it does not seem possible. I do not know when I can return to school if ever.

    Hey great, every artist should know a little about accounting, and every accountant should certainly know a little about art. If I had time I would take a chef's course with a cake major. *wants cake*

    i was thinking about making pineapple upside down cupcakes. if i can find pineapple jam or preserves, don't fancy mushing up a pineapple. kiwis are easier to manage. never tried kiwi with cake. :ohh:

    i can't remember how to slide a vert in wings. it was more steps than sliding an edge.

    You need to select the axis you want to move the vertex along I think ;)

    it's a special kind of screen capture magic to show the mousier arrow moving around like that

    i remembered to pick up the Bacardi on the way home, but forgot the calamine lotion.


    the air feels oppressive, there's no mention in the weather about a storm front. the a/c unit is heavy, i can't put it in the window by myself.

    There's a tool for that in C4D that works on edges and vertices. Doesn't work on faces though. I use it a lot when making morphs to keep the texture from deforming too much - try and keep the original shape as much as possible.

    N3D gives good video tute. Can't help thinking though that the whole weight mapping thing has a long way to go in the Poserverse. For example why can't I weight map a motion track? Why oh why? Oh the humanity.... :)

    Leaves on trees moving in wind, for example. Swelling ocean waves. A sunflower bending it's neck to the light. Or something I'm attempting atmo, a bird taking off. Those could all use a colour gradient applied as weights to selected polys to deform them in more natural movements and patterns.
