Power is out again. Arggh
So long as you and kittehs are safe :)
We are safe. I wanted a bake potato with the works but that is not happening as the power is out.
your mifi battery is all charged up?
not really I forgot to do that.
does C4D use nurbs?
Has NURB functions for modelling, from memory :)

Great. Cake instead? :)
...actually it is more that they let one person go and instead of hiring someone new to fill the position they decided to pull me in to take over those responsibilities on top of what I was already doing. Basically, it has more to do with "penny wise and pound foolish" management trying to squeeze every last drop out of the remaining employees than it does with any kind of complement on my ability.
I'm not the only one this has happened to either.
I already don't have much of a life outside the workplace and commute the way it is. The extra workload and stress tires me out even more. I haven't finished a pic in months I've been so drained.
If it weren't for having to move at the end of the summer, I'd be out looking for a better work situation closer to home.
Opps... Sorry. I will not do that ever again. :red:
I try not to work long hours, but is not easy to draw lines and then stay behind them, there are always pressures ;)
Not sure if it has "true" NURBS in the sense of Maya and Rhino, but the only way to get polygons out of splines is via NURBS objects. It's "HyperNURBS" object subdivides and smooths stuff, like Carrara's smoothing but with more control.

Awesome music, neat graphics, insane difficulty. I think this video is one of the things that keeps me playing the games despite how I suck at them. ^_^

Song is Necrofantasia from the album Magical Astronomy. It's a remix of the original theme Necro-Fantasy.
Found a pretty picture of the "Yakumo family". While they're not really a family in the strictest sense, they sort of function like one when they're not out and about.

From top to bottom is the nine-tailed fox Ran Yakumo (Ran means Indigo), the cat-girl Chen, and Yukari herself.
One thing that isn't immediately stated is that their names mean Orange (Chen), Indigo (Ran), and Violet (Yukari) which in the color spectrum orange is weakest (Chen is the weakest out of the three and is Ran's familiar) and violet is most powerful.

Dim memories of spin and other lathe type functions ;)
should have 20 seconds or so of this cloud sim by Wednesday ;)
Meh, legs hurt, feet hurt. Back sore and I'm bellyaching about it!
On this laptop, I founf out PPro is a LOT more stable if I turn off OpenGL and use Sree3D, and it's actually FASTER in the preview window! The Intel GMA in this thing is beyond lame.. argh. Just pathetic.
Took me a while to figure out how to import backgrounds, but a little RTFM fixed everything. Apparently you can import an AVI to animate over, many possibilities there. so far everything I've loaded works properly, even Mocks Creeping Brain (a must-have for my B horror movie renders).
Going to spend all day cooking, organizing, rendering, and taking care of myself! Short week next week as Wednesday is the 4th. of July. I'll be at home bbqing!
Everyone have a great day!

Coffee sounds really good, unfortunately it's pouring rain and it's 3 blocks to the coffee shop! Even with my umbrella I'd be soaked. I think I need to buy a coffee maker!
We REALLY need the rain, though, so I'm willing to get damp when I go grocery shopping. Better a damp loach than a dry Austin!
Posers UI is really different so it's slow going. Trying to position spotlights and such is kind of a pain, I'm not sure if there's a "look through" like in DS4, I'm going to dive back into the manual whilst I sip diet Coke and nibble cheese!
Nothing like being snug in our place and listening to the rain come down!
Looking good so far! :)
Power went out during the heat wave. It went out at 10:45 Friday night and returned Sunday morning. I didn't see any damage though.I was about to download some products from the Daz store too. I'm glad everyone else is O.K. after the big storm that went through our area last Friday.
It is 95 degrees F in the shade now. I have one comment about Melbourne, Australia: I didn't know that winds from Antarctica could reach the southern coast of Australia. I learned something new.
I'm going to look in my fridge for moldy food to throw out now. bye
Great. Cake instead? :)
Power is back on
Maybe i can make cake in a bit
Meh, and of course things got hot over here. And I totally hosed my rigging for a bit of prop I'm making... *twice* So I had to do it three times.
there are bugs in my soda. guess the apartment is still hot. when the power came back on the ac stayed off.
actually i am hot but not hot enough to swim in soda.
Cinema 4D doesn't have a "look through" option for lights, but it does have a tag called "Point At" which will cause the object to automatically face the axis center of any object you choose. Usually these are null objects which you can easily find and move about. It does make positioning and aiming lights much easier.
...so exactly how long is it taking to render this all?

...made it to the coffee shop before the rain started. Was supposed to be sunny and in the mid 70s here today.
...right, and if you believe that, I have a half dozen bridges here to sell.
Yeah, I've been having a bit of a learning experience with Poser's lighting system as well. Daz's seems so much easier (at least for me) as it feels like working with real stage lighting. Then of course there is the ability to view through a light as if it were a camera. Really helps when the number of lights I'm using exceeds what my chipset is able to display in OGL mode.
BTW what is "Sree3D"? Is it a function of PPro?
Is also a fighter game :3
Still wonderful music.

SREE doesn't use openGL in preview mode. helps when your graphics card is lame. like mine :shut: -on board graphics card.
i'd get more done if my desk chair was more comfy. actually, i'd like a replica of Capt Picard's ready room. including the fish aquarium.
