Yes today is a perfect Autumn day in the big city so far :)
Did you accept shadows in the ubersurface thing?
http://www.omnifreaker.com/index.php?title=UberSurface2
i no haz the uber2.
near as i can tell, skull cove loads was only one ibl light and the one specular only light.
it's nice the set came with lights, keeping with the lo rez theme, but ray shadows would be nice
what happens if you swap out the IBL with (say) a distant light ?
Wow ps1borg, you know a lot about 2D and 3D graphics.
Is real nice of you to say so - got a lot of practical experience , enough to make choices but meh not enough to always make the right choice :lol:
If a studio wants to stay competitive then it has to stay current with the tools it uses or be innovated out of the market. My personal opinion is if I make money from software then it is fair enough to share that around with the software providers. So long as everyone pays more or less the same price the system stays fair, nobody can compete with places that don't play fair and pirate expensive software.
Yes, but Cinema 4D is also fairly popular with hobbyists and freelance artists who don't need to worry about staying current the day a new version is released. They can often afford to stay a version or three behind (As I am currently) unless a new version pops up with something they might need. Version 13 didn't offer anything too terribly exciting, other than some rendering improvements and some basic Sculpting tools - nowhever near as good as Mudbox or Zbrush, but sometimes it's nice to use these things in a familiar environment you know? :)
Anyway, some people don't need to stay current with their software. If their current editions works for them, that's fine. If they don't need to upgrade, they don't have to.
'course I could be misreading your comment. That first sentence is throwing me off :P
I'm not used to the brush selection box in Gimp 2.8. I'm so used to using the old palette in Version 2.6.
I'm using 2.8.10p2 from http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html
would luv c4d. and vray.
takes a mind shift to alternate tween ps and ds :shut:
soo much to keep in mind.
sleeping with my peanut doll tnite. need something to hug :lol:
...yeah but C4D Studio still costs something like 3,700$. Unless someone is making something like 60,000USD+ a year, have no family or other major financial obligations, I do not see it as qualifying as a "hobbyists" application.
For those of us in the earning half that ore less, PoserPro and Carrara pro are a stretch. Were it not for Daz Studio being free, I'd have given up art years ago when my arthritis made it difficult to hold a pen, pencil or brush..

I'm generalising so sure, a business is going to make choices about where to allocate money and effort. I guess Fear OF Missing Out drives a lot of upgrade choices as well :)
shiva changed a lot between ffviii and ffx.
While we're on the subject of price, discounts for Lightwave licenses are coming to an end, Newtek just announced.
midnight snack time :lol: hmmm shoulda baked something

That's why they have Prime and Visualize versions as well :)
Trust me when I say though that there are plenty of 'hobbyist' users who do have families and other jobs. Some even own the Studio version. 'Hobbyist' here though simply means they don't do 3D/VFX for a professional living, which gives a broader possible user range there.
I consider myself a hobbyist and have been using C4D since R11 ("Prime" edition, then upgraded to Visualize AND a release upgrade, then another release upgrade. So far I haven't upgraded again since I just haven't had the resources nor could I justify it since I wasn't really doing much of anything)
I've been a part of the C4DCafe community for a while, and I have seen a lot of users that were by definition hobbyists.
In other news, I got an artwork I had been waiting to see for some months in my inbox a few hours ago :)

Hey wonderful :)
Cool! Gitty-up Rezca's Avatar! :lol:
Kinda starting to get comfortable with this now - no detail no shaders so a ways to go but not so bad so far...eta anything but blue anyhow :lol:
Looking good! I haven't been in a subway for a while (or maybe you call it the tube - in Boston they just call it "The T") but I don't remember them having a blue cast, anyway. Nighttime outdoors, yes. But I think maybe a slight greenish cast if they have a lot of old florescent lighting (of course, I'm thinking of the cast left on daylight balanced film by florescent lights), or maybe a little bit pink/orange if they have those mercury vapor lights that are on the utility poles in a lot of this country. The last time I took The T was back in the 1990s when I had jury duty at the Federal court building in Boston.

Morning. Turtledoves cooing in the orange streaked dawn outside my window :)
Where did everyone go?
just got back from food shopping. had a nice fettucini alfredo at sputinos. called a taxi home. :)
a few bucks left for gisell. hard to choose to one character skin, one hair
after today, i have a new shopping rule, no buying until after i render the last thing bought.
I've been busy with my website database and distracted. I had to move data to a new database (I had two available on my hosting service) because the old one was acting up...I couldn't save new stored procedures (code). I had to recreate some tables because of certain properties that the export/import routine didn't recreate, it just copied the table structures and the data. Then I had to reload the data. Then I had to regenerate all the existing stored procedures. Anyway, I just put it live and the site seems to be working OK with it. Now I can move forward again. They couldn't figure out why the old database wouldn't let me save new code, the new database will. They are both on the same big server. Actually, I never liked having two databases anyway...it would have been a nightmare to use when one started to get filled up. Now I'll just have one that is twice as big!
I know...a long, draw-out explanation that nobody wanted to read. :smirk:

If I went that route, I'd be missing in action for years, rendering stuff. :grrr:
Dana
aww noes i added the morphing business suit props to my cart, among the gisell stuff. i thought i'd added the sy-business suit, but turns out it didn't make it into my cart for some reason. and now when i add it, it's full price :shut:

Dana
:lol: can't remember what scene i was thinking of for half the stuff.
if i stop buying content might actually save something up for c4d.
it helps that carrara counts for a competitive upgrade price, or it did last time i looked.

I know what you mean Misty. Same thing happens to me sometimes.
Anyone travel to Australia lately? I notice that the planes leave Los Angeles at night.. I don't think I can sleep at night. lol. Not complaining, just making an observation.
Fairy Drop.
