Sorry Elmer, I didn't include / attach a file as I thought its a simple procedure to just change the material on the inside of the glass.

Google is probably migrating the "Old Forums" to the Groups right now. The Groups are exceptionally slow and you have to post things 2 or 3 times until they get through - you know I often post there too; kind of a "mission" I guess... 😄

"Scaleability"?

I wonder what improvements they are going to implement - but they haven't "warned" the Groups users about the changes yet.
Though there are maybe only about half a dozen regular posters there who cares - and they are regular visitors of the Pro Forums, too, so they might already know that something is happening...

The only problem tha he (She? it?) hasn't created a profile so we cannot even send him (her? it?) a private message! 😄

thanks Annsi, not sure why i thought it was well know.
Cheers anyway......

I hope Coen welcomes the idea. I met him at 3dBaseCamp and he doesn't need to loose any weight but no doubt he realized I do!

Might get my hands on a Dell Precision Worksation 530 (1.7GHz XEON, 2x 256MB RD RAM) soon. Will let you know how it compares with my current machine (P4 Northwood, 3.4GHz, 2x 512MB DDR low latency). Hopefully I'll be able to get another CPU and some more RAM for the Dell, but I think it'll be as scarce as hens' teeth, especially the RD RAM. Hoping to use it purely for rendering.

As I can see, it has already been removed.

Your Welcome. Glad to help.

Very nice, Mike

Sorry about all the bad architecture you will be forced to see...

And my models are very hazardous too:"Don't go around that corner,there's nothing there"

Another hoot-and-a-half...thanks, Eric!

That will add some girth to my buttress'. 😐

GREAT! Now I'm going to get even less work done.. 😞

I've had BBQs that ended up as wet as that. But Hey! this is Britain....what can I say? 😆

Very funny! Very clever animation.
I loved the innovative use of all the icons from the animation 'window'.

Thanks for posting it!

Warren

Good stuff. 😄

wow... y'know, now that I've come down off the ceiling and stopped sputtering like Donald Duck about this whole "migration" thingy, I was questioning my decision to pull my attachments- at least a little bit. Now, not so much.

Coen,
Everytime I come back to check things out - you have made things better than I could have thought. That new front page, icons and descriptions are great. I don't know how you are going to make this any better, but I know you and I think you already have something else cooked up, another way to serve the SU community. You rock brother!

Steven it would be great to have Jim drop in but I guess he is off fishing or something.
I dont think Jim's influence in setting the tone of the original forum can be over-estimated. Apart from being very helpful and knowledgeable his patience and civility was great, particularly with new chums.

Ivica, thank you for your detailed response. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you (and I'm still not really ready to reply :`) but I've been studying all you said and light bulbs have been coming on all over the place...so I'm still a bit blinded. I've known for some time it's time to starting working image areas differently and yours is a good example why!

I'll respond with a "learned" image (when I've learned more).
Best, Tom.

Yeah, I agree. Coen just gave me some tips. He was holding back! 😉
