Shiiiny!
Playing with caustics in Indigo :)
Hi, I just discover this post. This image was not at all intended to shock people, and I'm really sorry it bothers you. My intention was to show a poetic figure, actually a young goddess of nature, surrounded by fairies. The choice of the ouftit for her corresponded to the story of the scene (the bottom was morphed in Zbrush to cover the figure more).
I have not thought it might bother someone because this was in my intention a kind of "Ode to innocence, nature, and poetry". In this situation, Belle was not really a figure any more, she became an "icon", the interest of using her, who is young, was to increase the feeling of innocence and purity to the overall scene. And not the contrary at all.
When I saw the final render, I found it really poetic, and not provocative at all, but this is my personal feeling about it. Now reading you I realize the intention I put in the scene may not be interpreted the same way for everybody. So your feedback is good to take, I'll take more care to whenever I should render young people again and I'm sorry about that. But believe me my intention was the exact contrary of provocation.
Thank Goodness It's Friday! But, there are always complaints:
- Woke up with indigestion :sick:
- Cold rain all day
- More cool-ish rain all weekend :shut:
- Will be going to the bank in the rain :down:
Non-complaints!
- Have a bit of content money despite the smaller paycheck
- 2 things in my wishlist on sale
- Chicken noodle soup at the office for breakfast! :)
Probably going to stay home all weekend and render and compose.. I need to finish a track for submission to another compilation album..! :ahhh:
When the boss asks you why you wasted time doing that, tell him your real name is Marty.

I have to admit the caustics are pretty fun here, but I really wish I could figure out how I got the effect from so long ago... Never been able to recreate it no matter what I try =/

Screaming In The Rain
(apologies to Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown)
I'm screaming in the rain
Just screaming in the rain
What a horrible feelin'
I'm p*ssed-off again
I'm yelling at clouds
So dark up above
There's hate in my heart
And no room for love
Let the clouds disappear
Just blow out of here
Enough with the rain
I want the sky to be clear
I run down the street
Beat a hasty retreat
Just screamin',
Screamin' in the rain
Cool.

Apparently there have been some Issues(tm) - I saw one post where the newsletter link didn't work! :lol:

There are differing social backgrounds here and, in this country specifically, there is an abundance of overkill on just about any topic. Maybe you are European, I don't know. They have a more laid back attitude about such things, in other words...they're not so uptight. Another thing is the abundance of skimpwear sold here kind of desensitises people to the arty side of...art. People just figure it to be another skimpwear render. I can see your intent in the image, however.
As an example of how over the top they go in this country, and the complete hipocritical attitudes and reactions, a young boy maybe six years old, was in the shcool cafeteria this week and he pointed his finger at another student like we used to do as kids and made a ray gun sound. The other student reported him and the school suspended him, because it was a threat. They've ostricized him for a little play. And yet, a teacher at a high school or college, I forget which, was frustrated with a class who didn't seem to study at all and had no reaction or comment on his lecture. He looked around at all the blank faces and then loudly asked, "Does anyone have a gun? Does anyone have a gun so I can blow my f***ing brains out?" To me, that was much more shocking than the little boy. Yet this guy is still in his class teaching. In the first case, they greatly overreacted. In the second case, they didn't react enough.
And that's my complaint.

I saw it, then it was gone, then I saw it, then it was gone...
So, HERE IT IS! The Deck Collection
http://www.daz3d.com/the-deck-collection
The paychecks have not arrived at work yet but I want my paycheck now.
Complaint: Ancient Greek Boats showed up in the product updates section of the DIM. Download failed! I managed to fix that problem by deleting the previous download. Then Install Failed! I looked at the log, deleted the file that it said it could not extract, and tried again. Install Failed! I looked at the log again...a different file could not extract.
Then I just opened the zip file and started putting stuff where it wanted to go. Then I noticed something. The path was wrong. It starts out with Content. Data, People, Runtime, and Vehicles are all under Content. But Data, People, Runtime, and Vehicles are all actually under DAZ3D Library. Under Content, there are folders for Data and People. So, we still have path confusion amongst our vendors. Do I put them under Content, or directly under DAZ3D Library? I think the latter. It's so screwed up, though. That's probably why the DIM indicates Install Failed! I've had problems like this before. When I contact them about it, rather than try to figure out why, the answer I get is "Just install them manually!" This took me all of five minutes to figure out. Not much effort, and customers would be happy.
The funny thing is, the files are under a subfolder named dazcontentqa. I'm guessing the qa stands for Quality Assurance. Fail!

Morning. Feels hot and warming up an hour or so after dawn, meanwhile pictures of snow are all over breakfast TV from the US I think (?) making for a contradictory feel to the day so far :lol:
...as I understand Reality4 and LuxRender will include caustics. Can't wait.
It's up to 56F here, but most of the country is buried in snow - at least in the Northeast and Midwest. :bug:
Our weather is "warm enough", but "warm enough to have a beer on the bar patio" would be nicer! :coolsmile:
*edit* Reality 4 looks interesting.. will probably get it even if my renders will take foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :blank:

...apologies for the misunderstanding, The story I am working on involves two of the main characters who, while they may be "adult" in age (according to UK standards in 2060 and even today) they have the appearance of young teens (12 - 13) There is more behind this of course but it would take far more space than offered here to explain and it would spoil a major part of the story to discuss here. I have to walk very fine line in how they are portrayed including manner of dress for though in most of the story they are "legal" adults not only in the UK but most of the NEEC (the European economic community in 2060) they would appear to be underage especially here in the US.
