brewing starbucks christmas blend this morning, nomming cookies my friend from Houston sent me :)

on my proj list: practice the best waterfall shader i can

practice the best skin noise i can

practice koi man's eyes shaders and waxy leafs

play with Irina SP3

play with Blender

i'se still enthused on the temple of love idea  maybe a series of temple rooms.  

mind image goes Zev's room on the Lexx. 

My  list is shorter, maybe more frustrating.  Morph tool to change Katie into an older girl, not a big problem.  Fixing her hip joints to eliminate "crotch crinkles", frustration 101 and increasing.  Anything more than fifteen degrees or so of bend, poke through, or bending in ways cloth can but normally doesn't.  A couple of touches on her face with the morph tool and she's five years older, but with her not bending well, also not much point.  Elbows aren't the greatest either.

     I've got animated waterfall methods, if you need ideas.

. Re:  temple of love, do you model, Misty?  Are you going to build a temple of love?

 Currently seeing how many Genesis 2s I can load into one scene. No hair, no clothes, whatever textures they came with. So far I'm up to 25.

 I really did not know I had bought that many unique G2Fs (well, have to subtract the 4 HD versions).

So far I'm only using 9GB of RAM

But then I haven't even gotten to A6 and the 4 or 5 characters based on her I have, nor to V6.

This could end in tragedy. 

 41 individual G2F characters, with SSS textures, 12.4GB of RAM to display, 18GB to render.

Gonna push my luck and see if I can get hair and clothes on 'em all. 

ram envy, must get more memory for my m/b!

pretty waterfall seachnasaigh.

 tee hee build a temple of  and they will - come tee heee heee blamin the sugar rush 

 32GB isn't enough - the Lost World environment with all the vegetation maxes out 32GB easily. I dunno what the artist built it on, but I want one :lol:

woe noes.  haz the lost world but i only have 4gbs.

no percolator pots at the dayjob.  brewing a K-cup starbucks houseblend.  the K-brewer is kinda fun.

Folgers Classic for me, been up half an hour, drank half a pot already.  Cobwebs in the brain..

Doric.

friday!  3 day weekend - no plans - no demands

some serious love temple time   

Recovery time here.

Recover from the ten pound ham my nephew brought home, for two of us to eat.  No more ham for a while, thank you very much.

Recover from people that don't listen when I say don't get me more crap that I don't need.   I got enough of my own, don't need to add to it.

Recover from my December CC spree, remind self that maybe a $1000 spree might be excessive.

Then

Take my fastest computer in, tell Shawn to put as much memory in it as it will support.

Try to get my model building space back and start filling the house with balsa dust.

Tell self that thinking I'm going to be flying one of those little bullets with my bad eyes is what comes from the male bovine.

Try anyhow, cry a lot.  A crash there is not as cheap as a computer crash.

Doric.

this was a relaxing dyn cloth tutt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLBt9WKWl-Y  stresses turning off ikey.

bouncing tween pp12 and c85.  

time for some ffviii play too.  some snow on the ground, freezing frigid temps.

making pancakes, +tsp vanilla extract.  noms

my new command chair. joy.

had a bad dream, couldn't find a V4 outfit in my runtime, cuz i couldn't remember the name of it. >.<

My 27" viewsonic monitor quit!  Didn't need that.

Bad dream, I was in the police station trying to find out how much trouble I'd get in if I threw out all the junk a woman supposedly living here owns.

Bad part, not a dream.  She has until Monday to get everything out of here or I put it out to be picked up Tuesday. 

The good part, with that monitor dying, I have an excuse to buy another 42" Sanyo TV to use as a monitor.  Have one already, hate TV but it's one fine monitor.

Doric.

is it one of those smart tvs?

i have a 32" hannspree and a 24" hanspree, using the 24" to drag the library to it.  works great for poser and ds, carrara doesn't undock the library.

i'm looking at upgrading my desk when my tax-refund comes. was looking at 2 27inchers with the dual monitor mounting arm.  but 42" sounds good.

Not knowing what a "smart" TV is, I don't know.  I looked at the one on display and saw the port for a PC input, that's all I needed and out came the bucks. Great if your eyes are bad, as mine are.  I'd thought it would be grainy with the same resolution as the 27 inch, but pleasantly surprised. 

Perhaps not so odd, but I'm waiting on the same thing to replace the dead monitor. 

Doric

i'd like to accomplish something today with the g2 men, kelvin or koji.

Taking a break from trying to fix Katie, that is one messed up mesh that doesn't seem like it should be.  Second computer working on a Povray render, lots of transparencies, reflections, translate as hours to render.  Then I trash it and keep nothing.  Just keeping myself up to speed, probably going back to work on Katie some more.  Fix one problem, create three more.

Doric.

wuh ohs Blizzie coming 

on the bright side, as long as the power stays up, can get some practice lathe and loft 

In the map you posted, I live just under the right leg of the "n" in Boston. That is the precise place they are predicting the most snow - 24 to 30 inches.

I am happy I work from home.

     I have two Jeeps.  Each has selectable locking differentials (both front and rear) and each has a snow plow.  Also have two standby generators in case the electrical power goes out.  Always keep a few military -50' sleeping bags on hand, too.

     We hilljacks tend to be self-sufficient. :P

South east Wisconsin here.  Haven't gotten a lot of snow this year, below normal I think.  Had a long cold spell, now the weather is bouncing around, and my sinus is going wild.  Can't take aspirin, on blood thinners, most cold remedies put me to sleep.  If the weather would go one way or the other and stay there, it would please me all to hell.

Doric

wishing i worked from home too.  my manager just called, said to not worry bout making it to work tmorrow.

stocked with bacardi, luksusowa, j.cuervo. seattle's best coffee.  my insides will be warm

lotsa tutorials to watch - vertex modeling  lotsa luv related stuff on my mind to make

despair comes if the power or wifi drops >.<

Just watched the Milwaukee channel 4  forecast.  I do not envy you.

No booze in this house, not allowed, by me. Coffee, by the pot is acceptable.  Without which I do not function well. 

I once went from three pots a day to el zip.  Do not do that.

Doric.

iz still snowing.

We're done with 2 feet on the ground.  Suffolk County, LI got it good.  Plowed the driveway within 1 hr.  Now I can get out on the road.

 I"v got an inch or so here in Belgium-Europe

 Easy with the Quad. Just went over to our little forest, close to flooding. LOL.

Stay safe everybody.

 My little kingdom LOL.

Wow, that's an impressive pad you have there, Tony, love that underground garage as well, would make an ideal studio, good for sound insulation!

     Some areas outside of Boston are flooded, and there's a high tide coming in this evening.

Fox news

     Hope BB isn't under water.  =(

Aj, I hope BB is OK,
If I remember correctly, his PC room is in his cellar.

My desk is in my living room. (PS the left screen is 21", the middle screen 25", the large one is 50", the one on the side is 32")

lol, looks comfy.  just needs a tea serving dalek. :)

my bus stop is like buried under a glacier.  side walks are buried.  i'll have to stand in the street with the cars.

spent the last 6 days reading the carrara manual and watching tutorials.  i want to give it's modeling tools a serious effort.  lathe, loft, gordon, no splines for now, just the vertex stuff. need to train my brain to work without the hole material. new neuro pathways hurt  doh

caught up on installing my new poser content.  bought the pool scene with the tiki bar - in the pool. bought a chair from rdna, i forget what it's called, but looks like a sex chair.   

snow showers tomorrow morning. ick

more snow coming monday.

haz an idea to render hdr images with poser. nice noiseless hdri

if can figure out how to make a panaramic camera setting.

or render directly as an ibl bubble.  or render directly to the rectangles to fit seamlessly on geodome spheres

all noiseless 

why do they calk oj and vodka screwdriver? not pretty at all, for a beverage so magically delish. needs a new name

iz cold.  staying inside today.

gonna play with aiko a bit (i luv her  )

and another try at learning uvmapping with the pins business.

making decor pillows

Snow for tonight and tomorrow, but not much, just an inch.  Temp last night was below zero again, got up at 7:30, Still -1 for a wake up temp.  Grocery store only two blocks away, I don't have to go out, and I don't.

Doric

cold bites  ouchie.

tee hee - cp sent me a birthday coupie.  was exactly enough to cover a character for ole Sydney :)

iz nice of them to send those out.

my mikki 3 is jealous she wants something new.  high maintenance gals  lol

One day where the temp approaches freezing, then today back into the deep freeze again.  High of twelve by my thermometer, tomorrow even colder.  Nephew's going to be moving to Arizona in a week, means I have to start going out for myself again.  Oh, well.  Born here, I should be used to it.

Doric

I don't envy you, what you say reminds me of that time in Canada when it was so cold for so long, electricity towers started to shatter and collapse!
Not so bad for me, I don't have heating but it's surprising how efficient those rubber water-bottles keep warm if you hide them under a blanket.

Went out twice today, first to the bank, then Family Dollar.  Not too bad, not much wind.  Haven't looked at the forecast for today yet.  Doesn't really matter, because I messed up, I'll be out early in the morning for my cranberry-nut muffins.  Some things are necessity.

Doric

Rendo forum truly sucks. My subscription to this thread netted me no emails. I hope they don't pay the programmer - this problem has gone on for months and he seems unaware that he has work to do. I have clicked unsubscribe and then again subscribe hoping that fixes it.

We have a lot of snow - drifts over seven feet block my windows. But I'm not in a flood area so no worries about that.

When all this melts, though, there could be issues.

seven feet of snow?!  

that's when working from home is extra nice.

maybe change title to weather forecast ;-) or maybe a chat about global warming ?? .....woke up one morning its snowing "hooray"  brekkie shower shops before it gets bad, it stopped before I got home ;-( never even made a snowball boohoo

@vilters nice rig mate but don't all them dif screen sizes P'u off ????????? I had a 22 and a 24  retired them for 2 identical 24's (colours are still off between them ) GGGrrrrrrrrrrrr ps you use mouse without borders or other (guessing there not all off one comp)

@BB I'm not even getting the flag on site emails let alone anything to my inbox ................ still its easier then catching the pigeon  lol

One corner outside my house. Some of that has finally melted since then.

Jeez, nice crib vilters!

... guess I know who to hold for ransom, evil laughter. I kid, vilters, I kid.

I know, I'm totally jealous of Vilters pad, especially that underground garage.
And check-out Baggins' place, I know the guy loves Poser, but having a sculpture of the Poser Cone Primitive in your garden, is taking it a bit far!
