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 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.
Another Affinity with LUT post pro.
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.
More changes to light and emiter range from target. I also ran this through the Affinity machine. Better imho.
From the window above the kitchen units, to the patio doors just out of shot to the right, is nine feet. The widest part of thgis units is sixteen feet six inches with stairs two fee wide.
Eight feet ceilings open up the room a bit but not much and render views are a little limited. I feel the elevated viewpoint looking down gives the best option but that is my opinion.
Carried on from my Raysacper thread
NASA are being gutted, stand by Musk? Not that friends are favoured in any way. Remind anyone of putins actions?
This will not be popular but, I reckon he has something going on below the obvious bully boy bovine.
Carving up the world in favour of trump, putin and ping.
Jumping all ove the Houthis is a can of worms but needs to be done but the logic, if there is any, is all over the shop floor.
Hoping all those folk who voted him in and are now being regally crapped on, take him out.
As you can see the HDRI does not level with the model and the attempt at a shadow catcher is well off. Encouraged by the flame mostly working and the headlights being fair too. I still need to sort out scaling of the hdri but had this issue before so not a Rayscaper issue per se.
The issues I have seen in Rayscaper and PNG transparencies seems to be entirely to do with quality of the image. The only pending item is the illumination which occurs without user input.
This site has some great transparencies btw. https://www.cleanpng.com/png-realistic-fire-flames-illustration-8333208/download-png.html
Still finding scaling issues for the HDRI and a method of implementing a shadow catcher. Also, the flame still has an illumination quality I did not apply.
OK, the ground plane I inserted is showing up now, I post pro'd the exposure to 2.25.
