RE: Iria - main car
It looks muddy marvelous mate, agree re the continuity issue.
Looking at all kinds of Sci-Fi vehicles, they have crazy levels of surface detail and frankly it is hard to set a level, you can go on a fractal tangent and fry every synapse going if you are not careful.

RE: Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.
Nothing actually 'bothers' me, the screen is reminiscent of Maxwell in most respects.
The hdri/texture corner is both bigger than it need to be while being too small to show much in the way of detail of the different options.
When it comes to it, the single screen thing is getting old but I am looking into that but clearing screen clutter when elements are not requirted would be very helpful.
Undocking these different parts of the Rayscaper window an placing them on =the second or third monitor would enable much more clarity for the render window itself. IMOHO, of course.

Thanks mate, some mat changes and a better hdr for the scene will help.

A little (Space) for a LOT (Of money)
I know, capitol cities are full of it, flooded with it perhaps but my home town is running out of space so I suspect the money will continue to elevate money over substance to ever greater heights.

This place was on the news today, advertising on the bleep bleep cee, whatever next? They got there by hosting a televised event to champion the 'Float to live' campaign.
Laudible no doubt but, AKAIK, the bleeps are not allowed by law to advertise.
Looking into the actual sold lots, wow, small or what. Seems to be that you do not need to design anything smaller tbh, these fols do it so well and charge so well for it. Something smaller than the items I have been designing going for circa £850,000. The same one bedroom apartment on the 18th floor is £960,000.
Does that include use of the lift or is there a bungee cord driven window cleaners platform for plebs?

RE: Genius small house
It's a heck of a topic and has been for a long while. Containers are a far better emergency housing for natural disaster victims too, easily shipped wherever they are needed and consider the middle east earthquake of not long ago, better for the people than the plastic/canvas tentage so often seen.
I believe it is easy to go too small when looking at this question and the container idea, not only valid but brilliant re-use, re-purpose, recycle material. Refurbing a used container that would be scrapped, how cheap is that? Far more of a solution than other ideas and with good thinking, serviceable for years or decades.

Further on, different view. I have managed to return the walls to the previous material.

RE: Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.
G'day mate,
The monitor is set at 2560 x 1330 at the moment. Good enough for most tasks.No criticism taken mate, we are discussing the topic and it's all good. Just covering off the things I do rather idiosynchratically. Being a 'do things my own way' personality.
I am getting to grips with Rayscaper, it's taking a bit of adjustment from the ol' noggin but getting there bit by bit. Well worth the time tbh.
Something that might help the screen issue I feel is in the way would be on demand dialogue boxes to reduce screen 'clutter'.

RE: Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.
This is my Rayscaper thread so, yes, in Rascaper.
There are 8 lights in that scene which should be OK along with an EXR.
I would like to have a better, more informative method of identifying the lights being adjusted. Several are candles so the light has to be reduced for that. Perhaps a designator on the scree would help.
Basically I am finding any real adjustment difficult to near impossible due to not being able to read the dialogue boxes. I will have at some stage to acquire a nother monitor but that will do nothing to fix this issue.
TBH, while I render architectural pieces, I do not DO architectural renders. I have a leaning towards more realistic lighting levels which is out of synch with folk who want "More lights on everything".
The stairs are more commonly found on yachts and small boats and are a space saving measure. Not popular with architectural purists who will simply say that "Never get that past inspection in America, etc".
I know, a bit like those who want fridge freezers in a kitchen boxed in for the same reason. Not doing architectural renders and NOT in America let alone actually expecting these things to be built.

RE: Orgelf's works. second topic.
More magic mate.
Sorry about the too cryptic reply.
Essentially, she has no arms and is therefor incopmplete (Not all there) but it's OK, she is (H)armless.
I still love her to bits.

RE: Folding Step Animation
@Rich-O-Brien
It's a great solution. I saw a similar idea used for kitchen chairs and a table yonks ago but not seen it since. -
RE: Orgelf's works. second topic.
She mnay not be crazy but, I'll bet she is "Not all there".......
Sorry I shall get my coat.

RE: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
Really good to hear folk are taking ownership and doing the right thing, go Australia indeed.
We think these are new problems?

RE: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
Sorry to hear that 'load' you carry mate.
It seems big business is too big on 'we can do this' and not big enough on 'should we do this'.
A bit like the micro plastic beads in cosmetics being found in the food chain and now in human bodies.
Some good news is that more and more cancer viarieties are being 'lived' with. I know of two others with prostate cancer who are going to have a so called normal lifespan, they just have to share their carcass with cancer.
Might not be a cure but if it does not prevent us living our lives, it is a fair compromise.
We used a chemical cleaning agent years ago, just plastic gloves and a paper mask (Which had asbestos in them then) and we were told it was fine. By the time I stopped working in hospitals, this agent was only permited to be used in exclusion tanks with hoods and controlled filtered ventilation due to it being carcinogenic. How many more 'problems' which were known then, are we not hearing about.
When I visited the flat I now live in to inspect and sign the contract, I looked at the smashed up tiles on the floor, with dust everywhere and said. "Those things look like asbestos". "No". I had to have a floor laid over the top because haig refused to fix the floor. They have now admited the tiles ARE asbestos and so is the dust that was floating around.
I suppose the fact is that chemicals do not harm people when handled correctly, human ignorance and stupidity do.

Reputation?
I know I am a Philistine when it comes to this sort of thing but, what on earth is the 'reputation' thing about?
