hi Alan, are you talking seriously ? i have a romanian in our house honest yes in my father´s house she cares for him i can get that feeling sometimes maybe pureness ?

Thanks for responding to this guys. Always like to help my customers on the one side and my friends here on the other side.

i tend to use the futura family, especially the futura light bt, for my cad work and even in print.

My pleasure, guys... I found the animation very impressing myself...!!

If you go with #2, use a lower case Y on the second "you". Otherwise the eye stops too quickly, anticipating a new thought.

I can't believe this thread has gone on for 12 pages! but having said that, I need to add my 2 cents to this philisophical discussion. . .or rather 2 cents that I swiped from Monty Python. . . *Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable. Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table. David Hume could out consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel. There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raisin' of the wrist. Socrates himself was permanently pissed. John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill. Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day! Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, and Hobbes was fond of his Dram. And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am." Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed. -- Monty Python* I remember just enough of my philosphy courses to screw me up for the rest of my life!

Welcome, Denis...

This is all very cool TBD It'll be interesting to see where this all leads to.

Regarding “drinks”: “He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38) “And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come! And let him that heareth say, Come! And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17 ) Cornel

I know what you mean, hard to imagine a world outside SCF

Nope, not working for me either. Don't fret, I'm not that curious to see what happened, obviously I was not meant to see this...

Just thought id add a few more to the list. Colour Index- Essentialy just a big list of colours that go well together, very useful when your feeling skint for ideas though. How to be a graphic designer, without losing your soul- essentially a collection of ones persons tips and advice on working in the design industry, quite a stimulating read.

I have the same problem. There are a number of tutorials on the Unwrap 3D site but they don't get to the crux of what I want to understand quickly enough. HEre is the link nonetheless http://www.unwrap3d.com/tutorials.aspx

A delightful time waster for us with time to waste.

Juju, I think you are probably correct in your concept of what real time rendering means is this case. Here is a link to an almost identical scene as the first animation, but the shadows are clearly there in the first part of animation, which I think shows it is rendering with shadows rather quickly. http://blip.tv/file/1144509

CANADA Xogen - oxyhydrogen generators from the tap water with low electric power and wast water treatment systems. It can be powered from photovoltaic cells. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXo7CVFI5Sk http://www.xogentechnologies.ca/ EUROPE The Perendev company has started to sell the magnetic motors! 100Kw 180.63 amps@ 400 volt 3 phase PRICE: 24 700 Euro ex tax and Delivery ... It is more then sufficient to run more then a single dwelling! http://www.perendev-power.com/ They has presented oxyhydrogen generation at the level sufficient for a small car requiring 12V 10A electricity drawn from a car battery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGR9JNH90_4 We are witnessing the birth of new energy sources. It is highly encouraging.

I've got three "duh" moments in my family: Ages ago, I took a July trip to Florida with the parental units to visit the granparents. We took my niece along to take her to Disney World and meet "Noky-no" (pinochio) - she was about 3 or 4 at the time. My dad was keen into photography at the time was eager to get lots of photos of her there. It was a day of non-stop misery 'cause this kid was frightened of every ride, of all the characters, and in general was very trying. But we did get some good shots with the camera. And then we get back to the hotel, and my dad realized during the entire time he had failed to put film in the camera! The next day, on the way home, we stopped at DW again just so he could get pictures of her there. Second story - I was traveling with my aunt and uncle. We had stopped at a rest stop, where they switched sides so she could drive. She complained that she couldn't get the car to work. She forgot to start it! Third - Another, recent trip with my parents to meet someone. Afterwards it was decided I would drive back. I get behind the wheel and try to start the car - it won't start. I keep trying, until my father informs me the car was already running (they have a luxury car - from inside you cannot hear or feel the engine running)

I use SnagIt from TechSmith - it has an option to scroll windows to capture them. Very useful for long lists like that. Bob

1: What do you mean by wavy lines? Depends on the resolution you'll print at- ironically the worse the resolution the more reduced the moire effect will be (it should blur it out a bit). Applying a gaussian blur in PS will help, but it's better to fix it at the source- increase the "HSph. Subdivs" setting in the Irradiance Map menu in VRay- it increases render times pretty much proportionally, e.g. 100 takes twice as long as 50, but for certain models (lots of detail, very moirey textures, etc). An HSph. Subdivs setting of 100 is usually enough to reduce moire of brick patterns for example, occasionally I've gone up to 200 if I really need to pick out details, especially in reflective materials.
