Why do some people favor certain renditions of a classical piece of music and not others? I am using the word classical here as a very generic term for widely recognized and valued works by dead composers from many periods, not just the Classical period. The point is that a specific interpretation of a specific subject, whether visual or auditory or whatever may strike us in certain way, and therein lies the art? Edit: Oh, and a significant number of people tend to respond in a similar way to the "artist's interpretation". That seems always to be a prerequisite.

Great compilation of awesomeness. Really made my morning...thanks Pete!

my eyes deteriorated just looking at that. if we was doing all of that for a Museum diorama or a Wallace and Gromit movie, I think its great. . .if he does this just for a hobby.. . .he's insane. Its interesting the effort and technique he used to make his Letraset lettering look distressed . When I used it, my letters came out looking that way naturally!

so one decimal second = 1.666666666666666666666666666666666666667 classical second so one decimal minute = 1.666666666666666666666666666666666666667 classical minute so one decimal hour = 1.2 classical hour a decimal journey = one classical 24 hours

One more word of advice. . . Hire me.

Oh yes. Im not that big of a phillistine. . AC is always good. But some people are willing to sacrifice a certain amount of comfort for class.

In fact...with global warming a lots of temperate parts of the world will be colder...and warm places will be warmer !!

Thanks for the link - I had heard about this a while ago... It's only a giant football-stadium combined with several bridges and a massive heavy-engineering factory build in a 'toxic' location So what could possibly go wrong I hope it works! There could be a need for an even bigger one in Japan if things don't get sorted out, soonest...

Latvians had one rather interesting "ritual" of just stealing the bride. That was a sign that the bride was of great worth. The brothers of the groome used to spy on the bride by disguising as simple bypassers asking for a shelter for the night or telling to be looking for a missing goat to find out how laborious the bride is. When they came to steal her, the brothers of the bride tried to fool them by hiding the real bride and tricking them a fake one - a married woman or by dressing in the brides clothes themselves Now this has become into a fun wedding game for the folks who like to celebrate in an ethnic manner. (don't try this at home please ) I guess that happened because of the huge parental and family infuence when it came to marriage in those times. It seems that it was common sense in most of the cultures to require something in exchange of the bride. The family loses a good pair of hands and the workload rises for the rest. But now the parents aren't so dependant of their children, as in most of the western civilisation the pension system forces you to work hard all life for a more prosperous future, rather then raising more kids and "selling them to the best bidder" for a more prosperous future. Either way I don't think it works right, the eastern traditions are clashing against the spreading democratic ideas and the western world is just simply being slowly overrun by the east. And I don't see this coming to a peacefull end for neither. I guess I brougt up too many topics in one shot, but I wish you luck in your decision Majid.

I am not a very "organized" person, but that makes me feel like tydiing up my desk ;o))))

Drop a ping-pong ball in the loo. A man's vanity wont let him miss... and it keeps the seat dry!

Okay, I have to admit, that's awesome. Cheers,

I know this is not accurate, but it reflects how I feel: Raytracing = cool. Path Tracing = cooler. Path Tracing + MLT sampling = Uber cool. Thanks, Octavian!

@ecuadorian said: They all fall within my tastes. Quite ironically, I loathe typical latin music, such as salsa, merengue, bachata, reggaeton, etc. Are you looking for music for a video? You can try looking for music which is royalty-free, or even better, licensed under a Creative Commons-type license. No, I am not looking for video music .. It's just only corner bar topic Samba Pure beauty

If you want to calibrate manually without a calibrator you can make a sample image with a photo which has both light and dark areas and a neutral whitepoint and also some different color squares with some primary colors (that you know how they should look) - both on screen and printed and then compare the two until your settings match fairly well.
