    • RE: I know this is totally off SU topic "adolescence"

      There have always been monumental child actors and all I can say is, as long as they are protected better than in the past, great. Some of the topics addressed and the pressures of deeper character roles can play havoc. I believe Robin Williams had huge issues getting out of character for one and Bob Hoskins had to have therapy after "Who framed Roger rabbit". What is next? The actual conduct of some kids in trw bothers me, lots. Even something like ten years ago on a footpath that used to be a country road, I was confronted by a dozen kids with a knife and the attitude was not just that they would be OK, too young, but would be shown to be brave. There is a readiness to use violence too easily. Would we have the same issue if guns were easier to obtain as the USA? The hedonistic attitude that girls are less than boys?
      Well done to everyone involved with the film, making us cogitate on this and perhaps come back from the brink.
      Tomorrow I shall bring you a joke to make up for this morbid post. Or describe one of my Fud recipe's which is almost as good. Honest.......

      I have thought about it on several levels just not on netflix. Download here is carp.

      Some thought provocation to link a lot of the teenage behavioural situations that crop up on the nooz like teens murdering folk and not just fellow teens. Chemicals in the water, female hormones for example????????

      @L-i-am

      G'dayski,

      I obviously have my head stored somewhere dank etc. Yes I have considered Twinmotion and your earlier offer of assistance to get my grey cells involved.

      When I have sometime to move myself over and above current stuff (Neighbour 93 yo being hassled by doctors and care companies), I shall indeed beat your door down for knowledge.

      The only area I can see to alter is the fire in the 'place. It is obviously a 2d graphic. If it is painted into a component, try adding several at different angle and see if a certain degree of 'normal' or bump can be added. I will see if it can be done with what I have. Twilight used to manage OK.

      Otherwise, you still rock.

      Agreed, highly impressive metalwork. Only needs a sailing dinghy to go on it......

      Just a thought here, for consideration. When you make and texture these models, you COULD set them up as card and paper models and sell them. This is not a get rich scheme b ut might make a few extra bucks and if you are building the model it may as well have a second life.........
      Flattery or equivalent.

    • RE: Kitchen/breakfast bar

      Thanks, yes, the infill lighting I had forgotten is present and accounted for. Essentially a large low power light source (A simple face lit by colour emmission setting) which can be angled however I need to depending on where I want it to focus. 2 watts and 5k temp. Something I started using with Twilight. All of the original textures which failed have been replaced and work as advertised.

    • RE: Kitchen/breakfast bar

      OK, I have a habit of adding an emitter 'face' which infills any missing light and helps considerably.

      Dealing with a new health issues (Diabetes secondary to Crohn's) which is complicating life's already complex harmony.

      One of the issues with reflection settings is, you cannot go lower than 0.
