It is quite possible to do great looking interior renders with Modo. It just isn't as fast as Vray. That being said, it does have its strengths -flexibility, ease of use, the preview renderer- and I'm guessing that the introduction of light portals will prove most useful. I am dying to try it out.

So ... you're batlling a bug with another bug? Jokes aside, have any of you reverted to an earlier version? Which one would you recommend?

'TomDC', I'm sorry for your affliction! It is well known that many artists die young ! Counting me among them, I put in advance my soul to a ‘secure shelter’… The Death tried to pick me up in evident and multiple times, but I was saved miraculously…

Thanks, Pete.

Thanks for sharing...

Personaly 'bondage' to government that people voted for is better than 'bondage' that would happen to any other powers that be without representation. Remember modern government came from feudal serfdom. Which do you think is worse? Oh I forgot the US has rather short memory. I can never understand this blind devotion to private enterprise. Even Adam Smith warned against the dangers of unfettered private enterprise. If you ever get to watch the documentary it is pretty conclusive that financial institutions abuse of 'securitization' are to blame for the current financial crises.

Google Yes Men - interesting. He is telling the true, and that is a fraud! http://businessandleadership.com/business/item/32592-is-this-guy-a-yes-man-or-a/

Thank God for Wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde Anyhow, I am quite pleased they've come up with a solution. At least now they can address the real problems. You gotta give it to Di Rupo - he's one sly b*gger. Pun not intended.

Looks good. Could I have a look at the Thea scene? @cheffey said: Stinkie, you must pickup quickly on render engines. Nah. I've bought my Vray license years ago. @cheffey said: I tested Vray but it seemed to be too complicated for me. As it did to me at first. Don't be intimidated - if an idiot like myself can learn how to use it ...

@unknownuser said: Indigo? Yup. Still my favorite renderer.

Fixed! Yay!

I am convinced that until some type of horific event occurs here in the states that we will never get that one person to vote for that could enact any type of meaningful change. The powers that be ($$$$$$$) wouldn't allow for it. As I get older - I fear the only chance for real change to occur is if some entity (with the financial resources and the moral convictions to take on the big money corporations in their own arena) is able to come from outside the "inner circles" of our current political society and last long enough to make a difference. Unfortunately - anyone capable of meeting that criteria will likely have their own baggage (religion) that influences their objectives. Dean

yeah no surprise at all... and all the others mentioned... all drugs and booze to extremes. they couldn't handle success... morons. I really have no sympathy for those who have it all and throw it away.

Artists never died, paintings sculpture, architecture...are surviving!

Sorry, Adam, I am clueless as to what that means.

@honoluludesktop said: Doesn't England have special consideration for crimes by children? In the US, in most cases like this, the juvenile delinquent's record would purged when he turns 18. Dunno. But as Alan points out, this wasn't a crime to begin with. I'd not be dancing with joy if a kid put a ball trough one of our windows, but I certainly wouldn't call the police. (And what were they thinking?!) If people cannot work these sort of incidents out amongst themselves, something's wrong.

Thanks!
