Centre stage is the senior partner.......

The truth is, giving up artistic and creative instincts is a negative sum. We will be worse off for it. I have not tried the service I referenced but it is suggested that it respects geometry and texture of the model being rendered, no evidence of that so I cannot say.

I am reminded of the HG Wells book, The time machine. A future world where subterranean monsters hunt and devour surface dwelling simpletons. Fugly evil subterranean types and beautiful but stupid surface dwellers more like sheep after a lobotomy.

If ai can be limited to assisting with lighting suggestions and denoising maybe. As a learning tool, that too but otherwise, no thanks Whoda thunk it, a Trekkie Troglodite........

OK, not sleeping sometimes has a positive side to it, thought a bit on an old model 'rod and added a few new elements.

I am noticing that Rayscaper does not always update elements, groups/components as It should but a restart of Rayscaper sorts that right off the bat so NOT a problem.

I have mentioned Maxwell render before, used it to probably not its best but IMHO, Rayscaper beats Maxwell render hands down, NOW, let alone the future.

My big fascination which I am sure you will get, is cars. Ever since I could hold a pencil. Steve, I owe you for inspiring me to never give up with your talent and humility. Thank you, Sir.

Likewise, and to all living there right now.

Not to mention the other folk living there and hotspots, too many tin pot dick taters and I include a certain mop threatening to invade Greenland in that.

What on the planet are they drinking/smoking/sniffing/sucking on?

Don't mind if I do.

So I try.

Supercallafragilistic.........

I know, sometimes when things go pear shaped, I get the urge to laugh my head off.

Last night the screen went off the charts crazy, dialogue boxes opening and closing all over the screen and I thought everything AND the kitchen sink had gone nuts.

Switched it off and went to Bedfordshire.

This AM, tried again and same thing. Thought about it and narrowed it down to an input problem, then plugged a spare keyboard (OK, old keyboard) and nada. so I vacuum cleaned the current keyboad and everything is back to normal.

Cat fur.

Miaoooooooooow.

I can only concur with that sentiment.

No, not a James Bond or James Bondage even, film.

This image showcases the smoothing process and is a partial clay image in passing.

Another Affinity with LUT post pro.

In the mould of Colin Chapman, Bruce McLaren, Sir Frank Williams etc but the last of his kind we shall see in F1.

Always outspoken and never short of an opinion I think he polarised with F1 fans but tbh, always managed to be a fine Irishman, pundit and genuine human being.

RIP to that great paddock where the oil is always Castrol R and the smell/sounds of real F1 rather than souped up hair dryers.

Give 'em some 'stick' Eddie.

^ in spades, a keen eye and great mind leads to better results every time.

Stay well out there, Majid. Thoughts with you and your family as well as your compatriots.

Thanks for the tip/reminder.

I have not been able to replicate the effect yet.

Keep that head up Majid, you and yours. Tomorrow is another day and not Tuesday either.....

I have to admit to recognising myself in this more than a few times.......

Honestly? Our knowledge of and exposure to situations in other nations is mostly fed by media and so called 'influencers' (Who frankly should not be considered more knowledgeable than the average goldfish).
From my standpoint I can only go by what I have seen and experienced. More and more so called refugee's who frankly are only here due to incompetence in government and profiteering by the gangs for profit.

Italy is a point of entry into the eu, they shuffle them all the way to the channel and we kop them.

In the end it did for Merkel in Germany.

I do not hate these folk who are drip fed lies about the situation in the UK etc. I would like the situation changed to "How can the situation in poorer countries and those led by ultra nationalists or dictators be changed so they are safe in their own homes"?

Why risk life and limb crossing the channel in makeshift rafts and hoping?

We can do better, be better but it will take more thought than I have seen so far.

Have a great day folks, be kind to yourself and each other.

Thanks Rich, just flat out did not think of that.

Sorry about the link, brush like today. https://www.renderhub.com/maker20/cozy-bedroom-interior-scene-005

The back wall is textures, you can see the texture on the wall on the left of the illuminated panel.

No missing geometry.

OK, I am still experiencing an issue where if Rayscaper is running while minimised, attempting to pan the SketchUp scene results in a bug splat. Thomas is on it already but this appears to be part of an escalating series of failures.

All part of the process.
