    • RE: NEW Forum Software Issues

      @Rich-O-Brien

      Not unhappy per se, just older and a bit inflexible. Ity will take a while to get to grips with.

      I cannot find anything as easily as the old forum and the appearance is just weird to my eyes, no borders to break up the page for example.

      Doubtless when the old grey cell sorts it out it will be fine just a bit of a shock tbh.

      I can only concur with that sentiment.

    • Oh, how I laughed....

      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.

      Gradually altering settings. A few more components/groups have been adjusted for clarity.

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

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

    • Eddie Jordan, F1 great.

      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.

    • RE: Post diagnosis.

      Tried a Rayscaper render, selected GPU, got this is around 4m 45s. No, I cannot see how the graphics card can do this. Chillblast are, quiet and not returning calls.

      @Mike-Amos

      More changes to light and emiter range from target. I also ran this through the Affinity machine. Better imho.

    • Alfa Romeo 4C Renders HQ.

      I still have questions to answer with technique but basic setup seems to be done. High Quality selected in Rayscaper Render.

      A bit more head scratching, some textures have 'vanished'. Hey ho.

      OH well, drawing board. Only thing left I can think of is a ghost componant.

    • RE: Alfa Romeo 4c.

      Well, I have checked that light issue and it is NOT the reversing light. Removal from the component and plcacing it outside the model leaves the ring of light extant. Possibly an artifact of the hdri.

      I shall rotate the model and see where that leaves things.

      I know, VERY early but this is an Evermotion model I had to try.

      This is a Rayscaper render.

    • RE: Sketchup 2017 suddenly closes

      Grammar means everything, I think he means this....

      "I use SU 2017, as a subscription doesn't make sense as I don't use the program regularly".

      The comma makes sense of it.

    • RE: Alfa Romeo 4c.

      He is definitely on the right path, I did notice the 'ring of light' (Sorry poor taste alert).

      I did not change any light sizes BUT, the light is inside a component so THAT may be the issue.
