Aahhh yeah... Now I remember her... 😐
Sad news indeed...
Condolences to her family...

Yes - I also saw this the other day...
You can see more at ideabox... 😄

You can try it here: http://www.hitta.se/LargeMap.aspx?var=stockholm

Guide for Understanding the Swedish controls:
First, click "3D" at the top middle.
At the bottom there are controls to zoom in and out.
At the bottom right there are controls to rotate and tilt the map (luta kartan).

My personal opinion is that it is cool and useful and does a good job with trees, but I personally prefer something that is only photo and not modified in any way. Not as cool but makes it easier to see details IMHO.
Also the distance where it goes from high to low res is a bit short (at least in this (hitta.se) implementation.)

I think you can do it both ways - I know it does a AVI movie OR an image... you can easily extract images from an AVI if you need to...

By the way the reflection layer can be saved also as seperate channel. then use it in photoshop. so based on the above workflow, what you can do is to just add reflection/

ANother workflow will be this is to add another diffuse color to all your maps (a bit time consuming). This would be your clay color. If you add a new diffuse layer, vray will call it "diffuse1" and it will be place under the original diffuse layer. Now in order to show this color and at the same time retain the UV of the bump and displacement map, you need to put an "A color"(white) to the transparency slot of every original diffuse layers. The reflection and all the layers will still be there. the only thing is all the color that is showing up is your clay color which you used for all your diffuse layers. again a bit time consuming but will achieve what you want. but if you are looking for shortcuts. i dont think there is/

I really can not complain either way 😄

Next will be these:

I have registered for 3 races this year so far and have 3 more I am looking into. My main goal is to do my first century this season.

The Japanese company (IFX) always owned the IP for Piranesi (and MicroGDS) but only distributed within Japan itself.

They withdrew the rights from the UK based Informatix Software International Ltd (ISIL) in October. ISIL were developing, supporting, and distributing the products world wide under licence. With no revenue stream from these products, ISIL is now in liquidation. The situation is very messy, and for a time Piranesi activation was unavailable (it is back on-line now.)

The new web sites are http://piranesi.co.uk/ and http://microgds.co.uk/ and you should find the downloads and other information there.

I'd recommend that you join and keep an eye on the forums at http://www.informatixsoftware.com/forums/

I'd also recommend that you join LinkedIn and keep an eye on the Piranesi User Group and MicroGDS User Group there (where the matter has several live discussions.)

The user database does not seem to be available to IFX, so the forums and LinkedIn user groups are the main channel of communication for the time being.

Awesome, thank you! +1 on the avatar, made me smile.

The topic fits.

It's not SU, but I think SU fans will like it.

Search for a similar thread - where I showed how to use a completely transparent png as a texture for the material on all faces - you then also hide the edges in the object [group/component] and then you can't see it at all, but it casts a shadow...

Agreed.

I like the mood of your renders... 👍 Congrats... 😉
Wait for some update...

Nice. Quite enjoyed the video.

yea right because PVC is SOOOO eco friendly and biodegradable...... Lets say the tree was already "fallen" and I just cut it, but not with a chainsaw because those emissions would not be eco-friendly. I used an old school hacksaw. 😆

Really nice first attempt... 👍
How do you like the app so far, Scott...??

Yep.

Wow, the gauge cluster is a very efficient design. For some reason it seems quite unique that the speedometer is on the right.

Scott, have you already tried with Fredo's tools on surface plugin? It have a free hand tool in wich you can set the sensitivity (number of pixels, from 5 to 200, in length of a single segment) of your line.
