Thanks for your input Nlipovac Yes, VRAM Is 16GB I think that is a plus for rendering. My alternative choice is MSI WE75 RTX3000 32GB about $1800 cheaper, but I don’t have any idea about MSI. So far Razer is the best choice and similar to MacBook design. Thanks again.

Sadly it's on utube.

Hi guys! We've just finished the first season ofCG Talks - a podcast where three CG guys talk about CG. Here are the episodes. I hope you will find topics which are interesting to you.

Traditional Rendering or realtime? Does one or the other act as the only choice stepping forward into the future? Find out as DJ, Andrew and Marco go over both processors, how they help us in our projects, and why the answer isn’t as black or white as some may think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9zAlHCjp0Y&list=PLILWDkTQTM88prMwtxQvdFL4GGu7LW88B&index=7 CG talks - ep.10: Smart technology, the future, and you From being schooled in a game of GO to busting out 15th-century portraiture, it seems the machines are besting us at every turn or is it simply a matter of perspective? Join Marco Andrew and DJ as they discuss the rise of computer intelligence and the stakes therein! https://youtu.be/XlOt2YVyJuA?list=PLILWDkTQTM88prMwtxQvdFL4GGu7LW88 B CG talks - ep.11: Photorealism and beyond In this episode, DJ, Andrew and Marco revisit the idea of Photorealism in CG - tracing the origin of the practice, distinguishing it from realism, discussing it’s value in the industry and its place in the practice of art! https://youtu.be/fTsdt8QTnlY?list=PLILWDkTQTM88prMwtxQvdFL4GGu7LW88 B CG talks - ep.12: Photorealism and beyond part 2 In this second part of the discussion on Photorealism, DJ Marco and Andrew go over some of the more grounded aspects of achieving photorealism in 3d rendering. What are the key elements to achieve photorealism in CGI ? Is there a secret recipe for good looking images? Guys discuss their experiences and give tips on how to use photography and cinematography based concepts in your daily 3d artist’s life. ]https://youtu.be/QCPxWguwP7w?list=PLILWDkTQTM88prMwtxQvdFL4GGu7LW88 B I hope you will enjoy.

Thanks again Frenchy, I found one of those online programs that made it very easy.

No it's true tutorials for learn this not so easy evident MS Physics! Some 26 chapters + some other ones very well done!

Hi, would you please describe more?

I guess some part of it has been because of tutor. But I agree, there would not be any synergy. There is a long long way for humans to be able to replace the physical first hand communication.

Yep, whole barrow load of blah blah blah there! I do get it though, they have to sell the sizzle and not the sausage but I stand by my earlier comment of "people design, computers are an aid".

Like the Ford example. Some things we hope to be "cheap", meaning inexpensive, but serviceable. Also a person can be cheap, meaning they won't spend money even at a reasonable cost. Some other uses are too derogatory to mention. But it also means something that is poor quality. This is my experience in the US anyway. A common warning: "Those aren't exactly cheap."is more about the cost than the quality.

75 videos after and that is not finished! Astonished use of Casting Bronze for Floors https://youtu.be/foDRc2X_Utg

@garystan said: Does this relate to the "Classic" Sketchup ? Yes. See here: https://blog.sketchup.com/article/same-sketchup-you-love-a-new-way-to-buy ...and this thread over at the SketchUp Forum: https://forums.sketchup.com/t/same-sketchup-you-love-a-new-way-to-buy/127392 Shouldn't have any direct impact on your continued use of SU8, at least as far as I can tell.

You posted this in the thread to report bugs in SketchUp. Since it isn't a bug nor is it even specific to SketchUp, I've moved it. You can edit your post and change the text and/or the images you are sharing in it. Click on the pencil icon at the top of the post.

"Agreed. You have to however keep in mind what the Police have to deal with on a daily basis, with much the same excuses to gain some advantage and possibly escape or attack the Officer". I get what you are saying and have been in a similar position while not for as long a period. The job jades/exhausts people to insulate them from the things they see and at that point a seemingly intelligent, normal human being puts their body weight on the carotid of a person on the ground. 10 to 15 seconds of occlusion results in a much lowered level of consciousness and reduced respiratory effort, that officer knelt on that persons carotid for seven minutes or five minutes longer than he was conscious. Many officers have seen what he saw and worse and not done that. This is not the first episode of this type of insult to a controlled prisoner either, training SHOULD have taken place to make officers aware of the methods that can be used to control a suspect or prisoner and kneeling on the jugular for any length of time is not included. Three other officers allowed it to happen through apathy or group ties and that itself is a problem as well as a strength. With it the social and moral breaks we all have can be responsible for all kinds of excesses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment this proves the consequences of our moral judgement being impaired. Basically put, there was no need for the man to die, he did not have to break the law and the officer could have let up well before he did. Two wrongs do not make a right and no, I am not perfect.

pbacot : Okay..........thanks. garystan

Good to see you are safe and well Majid, and congratulations on the birth of your son. I remember many times over the years you would disappear from various forums for a while and have us all wondering if you were OK, and then you'd pop up, always cheerful, and always with a positive spin on life. You are highly respected and much loved my freind.

I wish everyone out there the very best, I hope everyone stays safe.

Quite involving that, I could waste days on trying.
