@majid Majid, you are a talented Architect, Artist and Author, and at the very least bilingual. It you tell me you play the violin or drive a race car I will find you and slap you Whilst in Holland I would see about getting yourself into a Cafe and perhaps partaking in some, not too strong, creative type ganja (providing you are with a trusted friend) and chill the "F" out

@ntxdave Use the icon top right next to your avatar - 'Chats' - select who to talk with and you can attach files etc as in the old PM system...

@rv1974 I draw in Procreate on my iPad. The first book has sold well but not that I can live from it. Working part time and writing part time for now.

Thanks Rich, some of those terms are beyond me but I will look into it

Or this another one ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BgJ4iQyfnY

@mike amos said: It looks as though rendering is going through a once a decade shift, so many ?AI? render sites/programs etc are coming on stream so the next basic toolset might just include a bluddy dictionary........ How many old stle render resources will still be here within the next two years? Twilight is gone now and others like Maxwell have glacial development lead times while the current ethos appears to be constant change. This is one of the main reason why I'm more and more specializing in very specific stuff, detailed/animated objects, custom shapes and textures, optimized models for VR/AR/realtime/web, teaching 3d for VR developers and all this kind of technical-oriented stuff. Where i live the "classic" render market is already bloated with people working fast, but at really bad quality and underwaged, possibly cracking software and avoiding taxes in most cases. So i think AI will make not a big difference for me (at least in the next few years), right now is a problem of those sloppy "collegues". I'm done with that market, their analog stupidity has already screwed that well before AI was even a thing. The only option I found to survive is doing those "hard" stuff that they can't or want not learn to do.. I hardly recall the last time I did a "classic" architectural still render

you've never seen this before? Me either ..

Thank you all for contributing. good points Mike and Rich, It seems that humans relationship is based on fear, instead of trust. We trust our family and friends, less trust our neighbors, and feel others as probable enemies... others do the same. It is naive to consider everyone as friends because we fear each other and hurt each other then... It starts from fear and ends in fear. What if it could start from kindness and end in kindness If it is possible to reframe a society based on trust? make all the laws and regulations based on trust? help each other to make trust? these are things wandering in my mind...

Thanks Rich, I will giv it a go

Looks like norton is scamming me for software hard sell for not much, fake reporting? [image: RHhs_Drivers2.jpg]

I emailed them asking how he's doing, keep your fingers crossed ..

That looks interesting Rich, I'll check it out!

Thanks guys

@mike amos said: I had a go at this. https://www.promeai.com/blender Use an image from the Alfa 33. It would be better if the AI merely afjusted the light rather than buggering the textures though. I think that most if not all Ai Image programs allow for comtrol over how much it can change materials

Humanity's leadership leans towards conflict, cruelty and control. The powerful prosecute to keep power. It's sad. The eventual 'winners' are still losers. Even though we know it we plough on regardless. Repeating same scenarios over and over. The war on drugs, the war on terrorism, the war on disinformation, war on free speech, war on gender....its always the same. The world needs to demilitarize and get back to just getting along. We live in a cloud of pessimism and distraction. Hopefully the fog clears and the next generation have more sunny days.

Here is a link to the Raylectron Free SketchUp Plugin which by itself is very interesting (more details). Thanks for finding this L I am.
