    Torrens island 

    I had to look that up, Southern Australia!  My wife is in your neighborhood, on a three week birding tour of New Zealand.  So then I had to look up "old" Zealand" ... cheeky

    our state is actually very unimaginatively called South Australia

    Western Australia in just as creative

    The Northern Territory slightly more interesting

    New South Wales is ...odd, not much like Wales from what I can tell

    our colonising forebearers were not the most original 

    Kaurna Meyunna Yerta a bit of a mouthful but could grown on one

    Imagine calling a town 'sydney' . Maybe it's better than 'Rodney.'. Eg just popping down to Rodney to do some shopping... hmm that's got a ring about it

    Here in Texas we have towns named "Nameless" and "Uncertain".  "So where you headed?"  "Uncertain"

    I visited the Megalong Valley not long after watching movies like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure so thought that was a bodacious name yes

    I happen to be working on an animation set in Canada's Northwest Territories.  It's based on a poem by the great Robert Service, who wrote about the Yukon.  It looks colder there than in the Northern Territory.  By a lot.

    has anyone noticed the same few people keep asking how to do different things in the forum and if the answer is Carrara they tend to ignore it devil to be fair I toss Bryce into my answers too surprise

    things like creating terrains or heightmaps to export, creating trees, other things we can do

    I see it again and again

    last one where I added several extra softwares the whole post vanished surprise

    I have to confess I don't follow those threads, mostly because I use VUE for such (now free, including Plant Factory).  But for animation related subjects, I read carefully the Carrara threads.  It still ranks as about 90% of my 3D work, does everything I want to do.  yes

    Nice !!! Looking for Surf or Rips ?

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,133

    You gotta walk the plank, ride the hook,
    Corner left and right and keep it nice and tight.
    And now the time is growing near you're movin' down the wall,
    Now steady as she goes you've got your toes upon the nose.
    And now you're hangin' five, hangin' five,
    hangin' five toes, upon the Malibu.
