Dear Remus, With reference to your link and a previous thread on SU shortcuts, see: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/photo-app-keyboards/ Regards, Bob

hi Susan thanks, got your email... Sydney Australia - but Sydney Nova Scotia sounds interesting... E

@remus said: there's a tool that lets you select parts of the render to concentrate on, would be very useful for clearing up noise i imagine.Edit: re-read your post and realised this was totally off topic, its still pretty cool though That is indeed a cool feature. Though it would be better if unbiased rendering just got faster. @kwistenbiebel said: Fry is comparable to Maxwell, though someone needs to put some more effort on the Maxwell plugin for SU as it really is far behind the exporters for other host apps. No sh*t. While I'm truly fond of Maxwell (it does yield fantastic results, doesn't it?), I'm not fond of NL's "philosophy". With Maxwell, a streamlined workflow seems to be out of the question. Almost everything is a hassle. The plugin has it charms, but it certainly falls short compared to SkIndigo. It baffles me that an independent developer like Whaat can come up with such a great plugin for free, while a whole company cannot deliver an equally good one with it's € 1000 app. And I'm not even mentioning the bugs. I'm under the impression NL hasn't got much of a clue of what SU users want - or that they couldn't care less. EDIT: These are my preliminary thoughts on Maxwell and (Sk)Indigo: both produce excellent results, but Maxwell seems to do a slightly better job on really fine details if you want to try out different lighting setups, Maxwell is the way to go, as it's got Multilight if not, choose Indigo. Certainly for daylight renders, as Indigo's got skyportals (these speed up rendering) the same goes for skydome renders: Indigo Maxwell generally seems to go easier on yer RAM (can anyone confirm this?) EDIT 2: I should add to the above that, despite it's clunkyness, I'm steadily growing fond of the Studio. All in all that one's quite a powerful and versatile tool.

It doesn't affect FormFonts at all...any more than it would affect a car rental company, because we don't sell content, we rent it. If we were selling it, the annual subscription would be 50 times what it is at present. Those terms are right there on the site...available to anyone before they sign up. Putting it simplistically, renting a car for a few dollars a day does not give you the right to then sell it to someone else for several thousand dollars....or to sub-let or even loan it to someone else without the knowledge or permission of the hire company. Even software companies that sell software (or content) on a retail basis are safe enough behind the premise that they are selling it to one person. If that person decided they wanted to sell it on, they would have to do so on that same basis, without continuing to use the product themselves. They would need to sell it cheaper, because the understanding would be that they were in no position to guarantee its usability, or to offer any kind of support or upgrade path. Any attempt to have their cake and eat it or distribute duplicated copies would be a clear case of software piracy. The whole Autodesk case rests around the fact that a company is offering software at what any reasonable person would regard as a retail price, yet still maintaining that it is only leasing it to you on a non-transferable basis...then hiding that fact on the inside of a shrink-wrapped package.

hehehe well i like instrumental and simphonical music

As a former Application Engineer for Autodesk all I can say is BOO-YA!!! __________ ______________________________ ____________________ ____________________ ______________________________ __________

. . . thanks - I like that one . . .

Im not jumping into this discussion at the moment until I get some more information about the proposed European Basecamp. What I dont want to see happen is the two events clash timewise, or even location wise. I shall make some enquiries and see were we are, so this proposed meet here can be arranged.

That's great news, Coen. See you there! -wehby

@unknownuser said: If the facteur already made it onto MSN, I apologize. It did. Apology accepted. I don't think this made it onto the list, [image: 418390138_44a8584c3a.jpg] but it obviously should have. I think there is "good crazy" with the Walt Disney Convert Hall and the Guggenheim, but the binoculars and handbasket are "bad crazy" to me. I suppose the handbasket is a lot better than just having a bog-standard warehouse building with offices inside though.

Just out of curiosity, I created 3 sites - now it won't let me create the site I really wanted! It says you can't create any sites at this time, try again later. It's been a full day, so maybe I need to wait longer.

and if it malfunctions?...

very interesting

Well I think it would be quite easy to do a 2d cad / technical drawing program, as most phones have cursors which could be used to navigate an xy plane. Teavuihuang's app works shows the potential for this. Incidentally I have a sony ericson, not a nokia that the app was designed for but it runs fine. I think a more robust app like this could be extremely useful for drawing on-site surveys accurately rather than fumbling around with a paper pad.

Its working for me now, must have been a fluke.

Thanks guys. I've kind of been to busy to notice it, to be honest. But we did "celebrate" last night by going to see the new Indiana Jones movie. [image: TD8L_indy.png]

Jeff, i only really know him by name, still found the videos funny though

@gaieus said: @Eric - I meant the software... Yes, I was joking.

i want one. hell i want two. though that would technically make it a bicycle. pav

Hi Scott, Thanks for chiming in! I think even even when "collections" were implemente, it helped a lot because people started to pick quality models and brosing the collections already gives way better and faster results!
