tee hee. did you get to the ending yet? laughed til the tears poured :lol:
:idea: looks like the runtime/!Daz folder has the mil dragon's morphs.
so, conceivably, ? i could strip down the MilD's cr2 and make pz2 files to inj and rem it's morphs?
for a leaner, sweeter milD fighting machine?
tee hee. did you get to the ending yet? laughed til the tears poured :lol:
Just finished now, some nice creature FX sometimes - exploitation movie old school I thought, but I'm warm and relaxed so didn't really get into the horror spirit, or spirit horror or whatever. When did monsters leaping from stomachs in buckets of blood become boring, I wonder?
Just finished now, some nice creature FX sometimes - exploitation movie old school I thought, but I'm warm and relaxed so didn't really get into the horror spirit, or spirit horror or whatever. When did monsters leaping from stomachs in buckets of blood become boring, I wonder? For me it was when my belated Mother watched EVERY Aliens movie every time it came on TV even when it came on at three o'clock in the morning. She had a real thing for those movies. I even went and bought the Full SET DVD collection for her. She slowed down after that, but never stopped until the very end.
I love doing stuff like this~
Wireframe renders are aawsome to do!
.
.
Sadly, the S&T doesn't seem to work with rigged characters. Not very well at least. I want the isopom lines to be visible and not every single edge, which is why I'm using S&T and not the Cel Render. Plus the lines on the teeth are far too dense that way XD
.
Anyways, so I had to make the character static by converting it to a single object and removing all the rigging just for S&T to work on it the way I wanted (otherwise the lines generated by S&T would just stay in the default bind pose. Not fun.)
.
I'm pretty sure I'm just overlooking something, but I can't be sure what it is. Oh well :3
sometimes i read a thread and it makes me feel an inner frustration.
Complaint/question: I have spent some time at work viewing the threads (when i can) on the iphone...I noticed I see some people 'have avatars', but on the computer they dont. Why is that?
EDWARD ELRIC XD
Nice wireframe render!
Explorer on home pc which im on now... Safari on iphone.
Does google chrome work better in the forums??
...anything which isn't IE usually works better with everything else. I use Opera, nice and tight browser.
Nice wireframe render!
Thanks *Hug*
I'm rendering an Indigo clay-render right now for it to be overlayed on. Sadly I accidentally deleted the other one DX
Just got it... gonna play around with it ;-P
Skiriki... No wonder your able to scroll when viewing large images... Opera browser views it perfectly by default!
Yus. I've been using it since 2000, occasionally firing up IE or Firefox for some stupid site that actually forces using IE (that is, detects the browser string and absolutely refuses to cooperate by directing to a page that tells to use IE instead of actual web page... well good luck doing that on, say, Linux; fortunately those are slowly dying out). Nice tabbed browsing, stable, lots of purty skins (although I'm sticking with system default I've customized for myself) and so on. You may want to get Tab Vault and Ghostery extension. The first one is good for temporary "bookmarking" of pages, the second one is for browsing privacy.
What's the private browsing feature?... I noticed it in IE but never knew what it is actually for.
All cookies are on temporary basis, there will be no cache, no history etc.
So in other words its for people who on a family computer looking up porn LOL!
Hey, Opera has a spell check... Awesome!!
And lots and lots of more. :) Enjoy. :)
...well tomorrow I get to check out what may quite possibly be my new home. A large Studio flat (about as big as the 1BR I'm in now) in the west end of City Center with all hardwood floors and everything I need in walking distance including a bus stop on a line that will take me to where I work not more than a block away.
...and better yet,
It is only one bus instead of two or three to get out to where I work saving more than thirty minutes each way on the commute
It also means I can leave later in the morning as I don't have to try and dodge being stuck on crowded buses and standing since I am travelling in the opposite direction everyone else is during the AM/PM commute and I don't have to go into the heart of the city centre to change buses anymore.
Now if it only made the fare cost less. but our transit commission went to a system wide single flat fare (with an increase in price of course) and eliminated zones beginning this month. So, if you ride a just a few blocks or across the metro area you pay the same exorbitant high fare.
Still, the time savings and relatively hassle free commute will be very welcome.
Also saw there is a flat available in a really sweet little old building not more than four doors down from where I live now. Have to give them a call as well. That would make the move nice & simple.

...OK, that was the good news. Now time for a complaint, after all this is what this thread is about.
...finally made it to the weekend after one of the "longest" (wasn't it only four days?) hell on earth work week in some time. Ended up working long days pretty much because having to close the accounts for both my primary client and all the digital print customers put mo so far behind, On Tuesday I still had a couple weeks worth of daily totals and data that hadn't even been entered yet. On top of that our intranet is running real slow at times, usually ehen I need to get a lot fo stuff done. On top of that, Office 2010 sucks asteroids. All my hot keys are messed up. the applications take way too much time to open, the layout is about as cumbersome as Daz Studio 4 (but with no retro UI skin to overlay) and they act stupidly. For one, there is no more nice simple menu bar. The new header tool bars are laid out terribly and require more clicking to do what you need to do. Option that were in one menu have been moved to others or even hidden often requiring a lot of searching and extra clicking to find them. not that may not seem like much by itself, but when you have to do it multiple times throughout the workday it begins to have an impact on one's productivity.
For example, if you are on one of the activity tool bars and use the scroll wheel, it moves your position . O nthe Menu bar all it did was open the associated "drop down" and change your selection within it. When I would accidentally hit one of my original hot keys out of habit, it often does something completely different (and often annoying) than it used to.
To say print a document in Word 2K, I would normally go " F, P and [enter]" Now I have to go " F, P, and 'P". This really messes me up in other non MS apps (Like Acrobat or our "homegrown" intranet DB) where " P" changes what printer I'm on instead of printing the document. ARRRRRRGGGGGHHH!!!!! Why couldn't Micorsquish leave what wasn't broken alone?
Yeah I know there's the mouse, but I'm old school from the days where hotkeys were your friends and a mouse was household pest. Actually, when using a text or data "rich" application in a busy work environment like I am, hotkeys are far more "ergonomic" (to use a popular industry buzzword) as you don''t have to remove your hands from the keyboard, grab a pointing device, move click (double click triple click etc.) and then go back to the keyboard. Co workers would be amazed how quickly I could change functions screens and swap between different windows often asking me to slow down so they could see what I was doing.
I have pleaded time and time again with my IT tech to reinstall Office 2K but as MS has changed the file types for their Office apps which now have an "x" at the end (like .docx for Word files and .xlsx for Excel) I need the documents I create to be "compatible" with the rest of the workplace's (this also makes me apprehensive of what may happen to older content with Daz going to the .duf from the .daz format in the next upgrade (4.6) of Studio but that's a whole 'nother room of angry starved wolverines to enter).
I dread when finally gets around to "upgrading" my workstation from XP Pro32 to WIn7 (personally, for what I am do I see no need to work with a bloated OS that introduces bells & whistles I don't need or care to use).
This and the system issues have made more work out of what were fairly simple routine tasks because they seriously interfere with what was once a very efficient workflow that I had established over the years. I wonder if anyone in the industry remembers what the "KISS" factor is?
...and "yay" a few non complaints.
Yesterday had a coworker give me a "half month" bus pass he doesn't need anymore. Get to ride the bus for free for through next week Saturday (saving me 35$).
Summer isn't ready to leave quite yet, actually reached the low 90s the last couple days and we have a beautiful Saturday on tap.
Going to start setting up the new system tonight. Almost wish I had held out & got XP Pro64 instead as I hear a lot of things about SIn7...er I mean Win7 (typo or truism? ;-)) that sound more complicated than I care to deal with (like all this administrator sign in jazz and having to set up a log in to start up every time even though I'm the only one using the system - isn't that what IT techs are for?).
Just one Tip. If your the Win7 admin and only user. You do not HAVE to have a password. You can if you want. I don't. I'm the only user.
Indigo's clay render is done. I stopped it at three hours this time. (Impatient~)
.
.
I find it neat that it has a checkbox for a Clay Render option (In the Cinema4D exporter anyway. Indigo standalone doesn't) and you can assign a color. A solid color, not a shader or texture.
Anyhoo:
And the two renders combined~
Some postwork done also. Brightened up the grey Wireframe render with a simple curves adjustment, then flattened that. I set that to multiply, then right above the Indigo Clay render but below the grey wireframe I added another more subtle Curve adjustment layer to compensate for the grey color being multiplied since I really only wanted the lines. One more curves layer was added, slightly boosting overall brightness, decreasing the reds slightly, and increasing the blue. :3
.
Rezca is a happy dwaggy now, since I always loved renders like these~
These are all fantastic!! All of them even as separate images... Great work Rezca!!!
My computer was acting up earlier today but seems to be working fine today.
Oops I mean it is seems to be working fine right now.
