Should you ever feel the craving to ditch the lucky thing for your finances and switch to lucky for your rendering happiness, then maybe take a peak over at the other site that starts with R. If this forum has spoilers which would be really nice, could put the key words in there.  Does look pretty "fancy" though looks like it has some "punk" in it.

But since don't want to spoil your luck, and no spoiler possible, so you can decide , nothing more I can do.  lol.  Just happen to agree outfit is amazing, so thought would help eensy teensy bit to get you closer to finding it.

I might never find it... LOL Thank you

I am weak... I bought stuff from the fast grab... I'm so ashamed. So very ashamed...

i grabbed the wyvern

Wyvern don't like to be grabbed. It's best to approach them slowly, then let them smell the back of your hand. If they appear receptive, you may then stroke their head slowly and carefully. With time they may become docile.

Don't grab them though, or they will bite or maybe even eat you.

prolly shouldnt grab a wyvern by its tail.  

or its wings

I can only assume that the site you are talking about is Renderotica,  and even then you are allowed to mention the site,  just not post any linkt to it.    Renderosity however is talked about all the time,  and when it is in answer to a query the we do allow mention of names etc,

The only thing not allowed is unsolicited Off Site Commercial  Links

Worried:  Hurricane track has it going through major parts of Florida.  I have oodles of relatives still down there.  Some right on the beach in big tall condominiums and some on low ground near the shores.  I've been through a low category-3 storm (the one that brought the tree down on our livingroom and took out nearly a dozen of our palm trees, ripped shingles and nails from the roof and scattered them throughout the yard, destroyed the area's power for 5 days, took down traffic lights and left 3 feet of vegetation debris everywhere) but a category-4 storm would be the tipping point with complete roofs flying off, some buildings flying apart, condominium windows blowing out, major flooding, etc.  Doesn't look good.

Not anymore; have you checkedd lately? It looks like it will stay just offshore of Florida and skirt up up the coast to us on the NC Outer Banks. I'm really worried about this one.

Hmmm..., well, might still hit Florida hard, you never can tell.  The weather guys can be wrong.  For example, they were wrong last night!  (*sigh*)  Millions of dollars, thousands of people, 21st century science, and 8 hours still blows your predictions out of the water (unintended pun).

Especially with this one.  It's been described as very erratic and unpredictable.  They were sure it was going to hit Puerto Rico, then it shifted to the north and mostly left them in peace.  But this is why they have that Cone of Uncertainty.  Hurricanes have always been rather unpredictable.  Just less so in recent years, but the further away it is, the more uncertainty there is.

I’m going to offer to change the course of this hurricane...

For a small fee, I’ll go somewhere and lay out all my power tools and start building something out of flimsy non-weatherproof materials... the hurricane will instantly shift to that direction. After doing this back and forth in different directions, I believe the hurricane will lose sufficient energy and die out into a weak tropical depression.

 

Thanks, but unless you're willing to build your flimsy structure in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, I don't think it will matter.

I’m fully willing to do this... maybe a barge or raft made of discarded styrofoam coolers... duct taped together, of course... I can be flown back and forth between several rafts or barges way out at sea until all the zig-zagging causes the hurricane to expend all its energy.

I know scientists will argue this is stupid, but I refute that argument by pointing out that scientists are stupid and their lab coats are funny looking.

My method is a tried and true technique that has been used by trusted rainmakers and highly respectable charlatans for ages and has guaranteed results*... 

Of course this will require an up front payment in Bitcoin or Pineapples (equally valuable)... so I can work my magic.

This is totally not a scam.

Trust me.

 

 

 

 

*Results and interpretation of whether said results are positive or negative can vary depending on expectations of what said results can be interpreted to mean. This offer does not imply results which could be interpreted as positive or non lethal and all positive results are based on interpretation and sanity of the consumer. Any negative results should be ignored as they are just inconvenient and tiresome. No statements should be viewed as a promise of actual results in any manner, way or form.

Well, I don't have any bitcoin; but how many pineapples do you want to keep it well away from North Carolina? And where should I ship them?

750 standard unmarked Norwegian pineapples in an unmarked box made of Canadian cardboard, addressed to:

Mr. Snootypants, C/O Susquehanna Hat Company.

123 Bagel Street 

Susquehannahat, N.Y. 18847-1234567890000000000 

 

They are on their way from Norway by camel express. Of course the camels had to be loaded on that 'slow boat to china'  of course if they can't arrive in time for you to do your magic before the hurricane gets here, then the shipment will be canceled

On a more seriuos note it appears that we will be looking at a catagory 2 hurricane Thursday night.

...major 'plaint.

Those electric rental scooters that are showing up in many cities need to be banned as the people who use them are totally careless. (they are banned in some countries). 

Tonight when I was at a favourite hangout, I got my beer and exited go to the table I was sitting at outside when I had to jump back (not an easy task with my creaky joints) to not get hit by some idiot barrelling down the sidewalk at full speed on one of those infernal machines.  As I recovered from that and continued to to my table another idiot on one of these scooters nearly clipped me from behind.  I yelled at him about almost hitting me and told him to get on the street (where these are supposed to be ridden as by law, that are motorised vehicles and not supposed to be used on the sidewalks) ) and he gave me backtalk. These things are a total bane to pedestrians.

Going to write to the city tomorrow about this.

Sometimes having a cane can be a positive.
Even if you don't need one to walk.

...that only works for bikes as the wheels on these scooters are very small and have a solid hub.  Dropping tacks doesn't help either as the tyres are solid rubber, not air filled, except for the red and black Razor ones which are more like a mini fold-up bike as they have 18" spoked wheels and a seat.  Those tend to be ridden more on the street, it's the ones you stand on with the small wheels that are the issue.

Works fine if you nail the rider.

In Florida, a cane is considered a deadly weapon and you need a license to carry.   Adds a whole level of meaning to "stand your ground".

(To the confused in the audience, they're American jokes, son.  American jokes.)

In Florida, you only need a license to carry a concealed weapon.  And that's what it's called, a CWP (Concealed Weapon Permit).  It allows many things more than mere firearms.

This is indeed a law enforcement problem.  Banning something probably won't help change people's behaviors, and probably won't happen anyway in the town where you live. 

After all, they are working very hard to get people out of their cars in your geographic location.  That means that they're fully on-board with scooters.  Writing is important, yes.  But I would recommend you spend more time asking them to enforce current traffic code.  Ultimately, you need to figure out a way to ACTUALLY BE HEARD.  Maybe figure out if you can get your local news to start reporting this?  I'm thinking TV, not newspaper (dead) or radio (not listened to by the people in your demographic).

Good luck on this. I think you have an uphill climb (because you're asking to have current law enforced, not asking for new laws to be made), but if you can get things changed, that would be worthwhile.

...Portland has a reasonable contingent of officers who use bikes (not motorcycles) who are supposed to handle such situations and could be dispatched to patrol troubled areas (the only time we ever see them is if there is a demonstration or protest). There have been news stories, both print and broadcast since last year expressing concern, but little to nothing has come out of it, in fact there are two new scooter rental services we didn't have last year.

Maybe you need to write to the purveyors of news AND your local authorities.

kyoto kid said:

City law prohibits riding these on the sidewalk and riders are required to have helmets as these are considered a motor vehicle like a vespa or motorcycle. Very, very, few riders seem to heed this.

Yeah cars are a pain, but they don't generally drive full tilt down the sidewalks terrorising pedestrians and people sitting at outdoor tables that cafes and pubs provide. We also have a bike share (which is actually less expensive per hour with docking stations all over the inner city) and the and people who use those tend to be more sensible and ride in the street.

Before these scooter share services appeared, one only had to beware of the occasional carless cyclist who would take to the sidewalks, which was bad enough. LIke a bike you can't hear these scooters coming from behind, and I've seen many of their riders who tend to not only ride poorly, but stupidly, treating the bloody things toys and pedestrians as if they are obstacles.

They may not be as fast as a car but at full speed they can still cause serious injury if they hit someone.  A couple weeks ago I saw an incident where one foolish person was riding a scooter full speed the wrong way through a red light and clipped the front wheel of a bike that an older fellow was riding through the intersection on the cross street (with the green light) causing hims to crash.  He was pretty shaken up as well as couldn't move one of his legs so an EMT unit was called to take him to the hospital. 

Are you saying that scooters should be banned?  I mean...I know you said that in your earlier post, but I thought you were being facetious.

How are you handling the sitting? Such things are best handled with play-range simutalions, so that you can slide the chair under the figure and if need be have some intermediate poses to make sure no bodybparts pass through each other on their way to the final pose.

I think you might be thinking of three wheeled “mobility scooters”... those devices like the Lark or Hoveround, are specifically meant for the disabled... The devices being referred to here are recreational, and not meant for the disabled (you stand on them as opposed to sitting)... they are basically a narrow aluminum board with two four inch tall wheels... a drive wheel in the back, powered by an electric motor, and a steerable wheel in the front attached to a tall handlebar... one stands on it and steers via the waist high handle bar...  these devices can reach speeds of 20 mph (that’s for average rental scooters, individuals can purchase scooters that can go up to 35 mph) whereas the average speed of a mobility scooter is under 10 mph (although one can pimp those rides to go much faster... I believe a German fellow made one that reaches 112 mph on a test track).

I'm not terribly overweight, but I have arthritis, a bad back, bad feet and a bad heart.  My town is small enough that I can get around my tiny town (with lots of huffing & puffing and periodic sit-downs) without requiring my car or a PTV (personal transport vehicle; i.e. mini-golfcart).  BUT... the last two times that I satisfied my wanderlust, I blew my budget and rented a PTV in Universal Studios, Orlando.  I couldn't have enjoyed the days without one.  And I had the best of both worlds, I had my people-poking cane with me too.  Universal has a limited number of PTVs for rent so one has to get there early (they're not reservable, it's first-come-first-served and they're usually sold out within a hour of opening)  so there isn't a flood of them in the park.  They are easily parked in the same places set aside for parking kid's strollers.  And by paying extra for privileged admission service or getting handicap assistance I can shorten my standing-in-line times.  The PTVs are variable speed and I easily go with the flow of people.  The only thing that becomes problematic are people who blindly wander or randomly back-up without looking (I try to stay at least 3 feet behind the people in front of me).  I am far more observant of the other people in my area than any of them are.  And it's not just kids, it's their jabbering self-absorbed parents.  However, by carrying my cane, I can park the PTV, and toddle around food booths, restaurants, shops like semi-normal people.  The only time I realized I was a major nuisance was in Diagon Alley where I drove the PTV down Nockturn Alley (it's very very dark and spooky) and at the end turned a corner through a narrow passageway and ended up inside Borgen & Burkes in a narrow aisle with no way to turn around, a line of people behind me and tight turns around the displays.  I met lots of people with justified scowls on their faces (perfect mood for Borgen & Burks) but eventually made my way around the displays and out the other end of the store, determined to think more carefully about where I might end up when going through passageways. 

I can understand that there can be too many PTVs in an area but the 50 or so that Universal rents in their huge park area get lost among the people.  All day long I don't think I saw more than half a dozen other PTVs on my journey.

I've not done any play-range simulations. I've not figured out anything with movement. I played with puppeteer about a month ago.

I am usually focused on what I want the final image to look like. See attached for approximate look I'm going for. Given the knee placement it may be too complex for the simulation to figure out... Though I have an idea of maybe tilting her clockwise and see how things drop. :)

 

UPDATE: I rotated her so her feet were then used memorize bones. Looked like it was going well until 58% in when it exploded. LOL.

If it's just going from a memorised pose to the final pose there's a fair chance the left shin is passing through the right, and if there's fabric trapped between them it will explode. You don't need a realistic animation of the her assuming that pose, though the more natural you can make the motions the more natural the end result will be, but if you use a keyframe with the leg lifted, then another with it moved the side, and only then let the knee flex down I think you may get less explody results.

Sooo... a typical Tuesday?

i'm obsessed with this outfit... and hair... even the character... luckily i'venot found the outfit (the hair looks similar to something I have).

Not sure what product this was, but that's a stunning promo picture.

I found it. This promo picture is better than the promo pictures trying to sell the outfit. I haven't bought it yet. Gonna have to find a street corner to make my daz dough... "Fresh Pretzels! Get Your Pretzels here!"

another dress... another explosion

...hope not. Leela likes making things go "beeg bada boom", just not her clothing.

The dress I bought yesterday... a new arrival didn't like the pose and "beeg bada boom" ..-ed. (I did not resist... I gave into the sale...)

Dresses and sitting positions don't always mix... I built a neato stool out of primitives even just for the shot.

How are you handling the sitting? Such things are best handled with play-range simutalions, so that you can slide the chair under the figure and if need be have some intermediate poses to make sure no bodybparts pass through each other on their way to the final pose.

I've not done any play-range simulations. I've not figured out anything with movement. I played with puppeteer about a month ago.

I am usually focused on what I want the final image to look like. See attached for approximate look I'm going for. Given the knee placement it may be too complex for the simulation to figure out... Though I have an idea of maybe tilting her clockwise and see how things drop. :)

 

UPDATE: I rotated her so her feet were then used memorize bones. Looked like it was going well until 58% in when it exploded. LOL.

If it's just going from a memorised pose to the final pose there's a fair chance the left shin is passing through the right, and if there's fabric trapped between them it will explode. You don't need a realistic animation of the her assuming that pose, though the more natural you can make the motions the more natural the end result will be, but if you use a keyframe with the leg lifted, then another with it moved the side, and only then let the knee flex down I think you may get less explody results.

I'm giving it a shot. Sort of LAIG for the moment. First attempt was a "failure" but still kind of glorious.

Complaint... YouTube sucks.

Okay, that’s an over-generalization, but most of it is a stinking clickbait mine field of useless nonsense... 

A little while ago I was looking at some software demo video and when it was done, a bunch of other videos show up in the window where it was... so there is one, titled “Homeowner Makes $11,000 Mistake” and I figured “Okay, why not... let’s see how stupid this is...” 

The “handyman” dude who was doing the video was either a complete amateur or he was just plain stupid... no safety equipment (wearing clogs or something like them while using a chain saw and demolishing a deck), constantly working over himself and wasting effort (and destroying a perfectly good chainsaw)... he split the video into two useless videos and then basically repaired the flaw by returning everything to the exact same situation it was before, but with new stuff... all for lack of a $10 part he chose to neglect adding.

I didn’t have to watch it and I didn’t expect anything from it and it delivered... but it’s amazing how many idiots are out there sharing obviously flawed information with people who won’t know the difference...

I’m thinking of making my own series of DIY videos, but sarcastic/funny... Poking fun at these amateur clickbait imbeciles... “How to avoid disaster and put on socks the right way”... “Avoid making a $10,000 sandwich mistake- Part 1”... “How to really sharpen a pencil... 5 pro tips”...

I think that even if the humor falls flat, it couldn’t be worse than anything trying to be serious.

That dress is from Rendo, I'm p sure, not 'rotica. It's called Steampunk something.

I was actually trying to be a bit sarcastic about the fact the people keep saying  "The site we can't mention" and then specify that the name startes with R  or Rend or something.

It's just easier if you remember "people are stupid" and "they're all out to get my money" and roll with the punches.  But on the otherhand it's good complaint fodder. 

As for making your own DIY video... why not?  There's always room for more humor in the world.  As long as it's not (im)practical (non)jokes.

@ Subtropic Pixel: ...as to those electric rental scooters, I wasn't. Where I live, they are a nuisance and danger to pedestrians the way most people treat them. 

For the disabled they are a god send, perhaps if you are constantly nearly being run over by bicycles and scooters perhaps you need to look to your own behaviour rather than constantly blame someone else.

I think you might be thinking of three wheeled “mobility scooters”... those devices like the Lark or Hoveround, are specifically meant for the disabled... The devices being referred to here are recreational, and not meant for the disabled (you stand on them as opposed to sitting)... they are basically a narrow aluminum board with two four inch tall wheels... a drive wheel in the back, powered by an electric motor, and a steerable wheel in the front attached to a tall handlebar... one stands on it and steers via the waist high handle bar...  these devices can reach speeds of 20 mph (that’s for average rental scooters, individuals can purchase scooters that can go up to 35 mph) whereas the average speed of a mobility scooter is under 10 mph (although one can pimp those rides to go much faster... I believe a German fellow made one that reaches 112 mph on a test track).

And that sort are illegal on public roads and footpaths in the UK    

 

Electric scooters and the law UK - Micro Scooters Community

The adult electric scooter is powered partly by a battery motor and is therefore classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicle (PLEV) by the Department for Transport (DfT), making it illegal to use on UK roads and pavements. However, it is legal to use them on private land and property.

Hmmm... I’m seeing an opportunity for rocket power in that description... if nobody specifically mentions the use of solid rocket propellant as a means of locomotion, then it’s fair game.
