Each year there is a festival of lights in Lyon (France). Some images here - but there are a bunch of videos on YouTube, too. I was there once and indeed it's amazing to see it live.

@solo said: The problem I have is many of my programs like render apps have materials mapped to certain drives, if I start changing stuff around I will lose all my texture mapping, so, Is there anyway I can transfer my materials folder (57GB) to a new drive and still keep the paths without having to remap all models again? Probably best way to handle this is via symlinks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link Example with Thea materials, first backup "C:\ProgramData\Thea Render\Materials". Delete the material folder "Materials". Create junction pointing to a new empty folder (d:\Thea Render\Materials) in other drive. Restore files back to "C:\ProgramData\Thea Render\Materials". For junction creation start cmd prompt via "Run as administrator". Then change path to C:\ProgramData\Thea Render Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C;\Users\pjl>cd "c;\programdata\Thea Render" c;\ProgramData\Thea Render> Now create junktion pointing to d:\Thea Render\Materials (Remember to create the new material folder first on d:). c;\ProgramData\Thea Render>mklink /J Materials "d;\Thea Render\Materials" Junction created for Materials <<===>> d;\Thea Render\Materials if you are going to use network drivers, then junktion will not work, you must use symlink /D -parameter instead of /J. c;\ProgramData\Thea Render>mklink /D Materials "x;\Thea Render\Materials" Where x: is mapped network drive. Or if you prefer UNC paths c;\ProgramData\Thea Render>mklink /D Materials \\server\Materials

last minute flutter got the 690 card rathe than the 670 and upgraded the motherboard to future proof me for the next million years. God what have I done!

Enterprise for me, firefly as a second choice.

When these cold callers ring me I just say "tell me more". I keep saying it over and over until they get the message I don't really care. Fantastic to hear them giving me their best sale pitch though. Try it. "Oh really, tell me more."

Yeah Trog, I found that setting in the NVidia C Panel, and it is set to let the 3D application decide. darn, I need to find out what changed, guess I need to tinker with the SUp settings.

2015, 'Child 44' was a great book, hope they do not mess it up.

Well, looks like Intel is taking one more step towards getting out the desktop business altogether. http://www.zdnet.com/intel-to-leave-desktop-motherboard-business-by-2016-7000010269/?s_cid=e589

wow thanks for sharing its beautiful

A mobius building - ingenious! But we might need to invent some new architectural terms when the technology catches up with the concept - is that surface a floor or a roof? Maybe a "Floof"?

Although I don't use Blender myself, I've seen and heard news about the new Dynamic Topology Sculpting, which should get released with next official version of Blender and is said to be a big step and breakthrough (if you like sculpting and blender)...

Very cool Sculpture + painting = Space 3D [image: http://yukari-art.jp/images/2011/11/ohata_nizibeya.jpg] [image: http://yukari-art.jp/images/2011/11/ohata_rainbow.jpg]

Very sorry it didn't help. It may be that the proxy is firewalled.

fantastic, Gai, ... fantastic, thanks for sharing

I think all this discussion can be put to bed right here: at least it does it for me. Donald in MathMagic Land If you want to bypass how the Golden Ratio worked in Music, and go right to architecture and art scroll to about 7:08 All truth can be found in cartoons.

...... where have you been Jean

@bep said: Hello Ken, I am using Double-cad, please send me an example of the problem file per p.m. I wil see if i can be of any help. Bep I have Double-CAD, but rarely use it. Didn't try the file on Double-CAD, just believe that Double-CAD is a subset of TurboCAD and could have the same problem. Didn't mean to imply that Double-CAD did have the problem. Files been corrected. Thanks for the offer. Ken

I think the best part of Australia was the people. Yeah they have some social problems like everywhere else but they sure are nice to strangers IMO.
