In a world where Buddhist 'holy men' have declared the murder of Muslims to be right and so called Christians advocating the murder of doctors for doing things that are legal but not in their book et al. How can any of us declare Islam to be worse or better than othe faiths?

There will always be those humans who take the name of a faith, who declare they do the "Work of god" etc. What we need rid of is extremism.

I don't care what or who folk are as I gave up rationalising any of it. Decency to those around us is what is important.

We had a saying when I was a child, "Stretch it, don't tear it". There is another way of putting it which is more succinct, "Could not scratch their behinds without tearing it/bleeding".

Also, thinking of how 'men' of faith are. The inquisition? The Crusades? All nations and faiths go through the same situations where they act reprehensibly so, get rid of extremism and try to understand each other. putin, thinks he is a christian FE.

I hope you all have a great 2026, you and yours and thanks to the Sketchucation team for putting up with ALL of us. Yes, I have dropped the ball too so, sorry about that folks.

^ agreed, very sharp piece.

Like Rich said, getting noisy out there so hope you and yours remain somewhere quiet.

Top notch alrite.

AI, seemingly designed to ruin just about everything. Even Star Trek folks.

Inspirational, I might do that when I grow up a few yonks down the line....

^ 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.

G'day, it is Rayscaper and the mat has no settings attached. Just a simple out of the box view.

The scene comes from render hub, https://www.renderhub.com/maker20/modern-luxury-style-bedroom-19.

I downloaded a scene for practice.

Straight out of the box the back wall has an emissive quality I did not give it in Rayscaper or anywhere else.

I know but you have to laugh. Checked settings in Rayscaper and everything is standard so hoo nose?

Still nothing, sad that even now such extreme situations can be inuring us to suffering. I was hoping we would collectively be better by now.

Hopefully the only way is up.
