Bar the time I'd have said it was just a freeze - video or the whole system - which might happen if something about the scene (presumably the character) stressed the system. However, the time would not usually freeze then - assuming it was correct before, being offline the system has no chnace to synchronise and the internal clock have, in the past, not been tremendously accurate.
Complaint: The official temperature around here today is 6F (-14.4C) 5F (-15C and falling) and there is more than 4 inches of week old snow on the ground. Yay, it's finally almost normal weather for February.
Two months late, but winter is finally here.
And it looks as if Spring is looming around the end of next week?
I'm sorry, but I like my seasons all in one chunk, over easy, not scrambled.
Unlike Florida weather, which has two seasons, hot all day, and almost tolerable at night. Either is OK if you run around half naked most of the time.
Whee, with todays underwhelming sales, I have time to do some reorganizing... Added another 4TB drive to make some room where it's needed.
I keep getting logged off and logged back in at the front of the forums,
Sorry about the confusion, Dana.
Oh, and please bundle up warm, and stay indoors for the next couple of days.
It does now.
Complaint: I got the latest Covid booster Wednesday, and of course I'm achy all over and feeling generally blah. But it beats the alternative; I would like to make it to 70 come August.
70? Bah, it's overrated except in the rear view mirror.
I should have had that T-shirt on the other day when I barked at the grocery store people because the bench outside had been removed.
(Yes, I apologized.) The problem in today's world is that not enough people feel shame anymore.
And there's too much use of the phrase "It's all good", when it aint!
I plan to, thanks!

Yesterday it was -15C here and cloudy.. This am around 6:00 wind started to howl.. rattled the windows and balcony doors.. Chinook! right now the temp is +10C - that's a 25C difference in 24 hours
About an hour ago, I saw a report on CNN. They showed Mt. Washington in NH. It was -35, with a wind chill of -90! And the Sun was still out!
Dana
CNN now says a wind chill of -100F
Well, they better get it lit before they freeze to death.
...I need that shirt as well.
When I leave my usual "gathering spot" I tell the barkeep, "well, it's time for the old curmudgeon to head home."
There are some scientists that stay up there. I've been up there in August, when it was 80F in the valley, but on the summit it was 40F and windy. Didn't stay out on the observation platform for very long. Wasn't expecting that, either. That is when I bought a fleece zip up jacket. Still use it. I was with a friend. I had more vacation weeks than Diane, and he had some time off.

Apparently the folks up north have frozen. Hope y'all thaw out soonest.
What do you consider "up north"?
Here, above parallel 60, it's -13C (9F), predicted to get up to +1C (34F) tomorrow
North of southeast Tennessee.
LOL, that's all of Europe
Nope. Slept late and been doing other things since I got up. I did not go out today, not even across the street to get the mail. It can wait.
Dana
..going "up north" in Wisconsin means going anywhere else in the state outside of Milwaukee or Madison.
"Upstate NY" is anywhere outside New York City and Long Island. Or so say NYC residents.
But us bumpkins out here on the bottom left of the State call this area either "Western NY" or more precisely the western end of "The Southern Tier" of NY.
Sometime last night, I learned that electrical outlets are actually called powerpoints in some parts of the world, and this isn't some type of autocorrect failure.
it's amazing how many different terms we use, I am still coming to terms with sausage meaning something different to a snag in the states what we would call a rissole which again means something different
Non-complaint: The weather knew I needed to toddle up to the grocery store and decided to warm up for me. Today it is non-freezing.
Complaint: For the next several days, the driveway is going to be half ice and half snow before the 7 inches of powder turns into a decreasing thickness of slush. Wheee... slippy.
I think I was clamping on my jaw too hard and a tad too long as my jaw is hurting on one side.
trying to get used to the new look of the Daz Install Manager
Double complaint + 1 non-complaint.
Complain: Spent a couple days working on a 'for the lols of it' scene when I should be working on like, stuff I was actually paid to work on?
Complain: Snowy trees. I had two of them. One was working fine, the other kept rendering the leaves without any opacity for whatever reason. Nothing I could think of changed that, and I spent almost an hour and a half banging my head against the program AND for whatever reason, porting them into other scenes showed no problems. I couldn't figure it out, but it didn't seem like just doing a simple color overlay sacrificed any of the visuals that I was trying to achieve with the more complex Mix Material.
Non-Complaint: Happy with how it turned out though, and learned a bit about procedurally adding snow to objects! New scene for Da Gallery now !
I think I'll name her Aksee or something~ Axy-lotl :D
I was pretty happy when I got snow on the mountains~
Applied the same effect to the other rocks and stuff fairly well, but used Mixer to blend a custom texture for the smaller ones in the front.
that reminds me, gonna go watch some videos about Livewave 3D.
