Thanks. No hurry, just wondering.

FF really brings that out in me. Maya, not so much. More now than it used to, but it has been difficult to wrap my mind around all the nodes - has to be at least a thousand.

Just checked. There are only 627 nodes, that's a relief, but there are around 1200 mel commands.

Beliria wrote: not sure if Bryce works the same

I bet if you include everything in the Bryce suite(or is it Daz suite? I can't remember which is on top) you will have every bit as much complexity. But don't worry, doing a gross count of nodes and commands is very misleading. Most people have their small area, like modeling, which only use a small subset of the nodes and many people never access the mel commands at all.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

wonderful to hear from you Ahimsa

I can see your coloured type

Dilla I didn't realize you lurked here, I didn't mean anything I said about you

Hi Carl! Glad you could see it.

Happy belated Thanksging everyone. We went to Daniel's in-laws place for dinner. We had a great time there. We've been invited for Christmas as well. Weird, in-laws getting along with each other. It was at Ronda's Grandmother's home and that is some home! It's the largest log cabin home I have ever been in. Ronda's sister and Grandmother cooked and baked all kinds of foods. There was so much of it that we could only takes small samples of half of what was there before we were stuffed full.

I hated IE years ago because it was always causing me problems, now it works great.

I still have a lot of legacy bitterness with MS products. The instability of their earlier products left a bad taste.

I don't drink alcohol.

I just took a sleeping pill. A Lunesta. I should be out like a light any minute.

Yes, my daughter-in-law's family has an alcohol problem, but Paul and I don't drink alcohol at all.

Sound suspiciously like A Lunacy only kidding if it helps great

alcohol can be a big problem with more people than any other drug

I must admit I just had a wild 3 day weekend of over indulgence in things I should know better about

I don't like them. They seem mess with my memory. I will see if I can taper off of them. It's just that I love the sleep so much.

So can sobriety - especially for the creative types.

More in-depth usage of textures. Get to colour a 3d house with textures!!
Did the examples parts just have to finish the homework part.. would have got that done today but been out and about today doing chore's like shopping for food and stuff. So will do that later tomorrow after I have been back to the Doc's for week two attempt to get blood from my veins... Fricking still got the bruise on the back of my hand from the third attempt last week ..

Carl wrote: alcohol can be a big problem with more people than any other drug

Um.. I like alcohol sometimes but I'm not a great drinker.. thanks to my ex-step Dad who was. Honestly don't see the point in getting drunk till your sick or can't remember what you did. Granted in my future there may be a time I can see the point to the latter...

Right night night! Have a great evening/morning/afternoon everyone

Why do they want your blood so bad?

Sounds like fun but it also sounds like long render times.

I'm with you. I'm only one fatal diagnosis away from hitting the bottle big-time.

Yeah, drinkers are so much fun...let me tell you about all the fun I had for almost three years recovering from one of those fun drinkers that thought he could drive...now that was a party...

Hi Steve...thanks for noticing I was here...

Think I'll go see if there's any stuff in the kitchen sink drain to remove.

You got me beat by a mile! I take it all back. How did you end up in a situation like that? You know, you have had the boobs on your head of a bigger celebrity than I have ever met. I stood near a Bunny at a car show once but she wasn't about the put her boob around my head.

StevieJ wrote: I'm all for throwing the book at them

Ordinarily I'm against incarceration for non-violent offenders but in the case of driving under the influence I realize that the gravity of the offense needs to be made clear – even for first offenders. My wish is that the incarceration be combined with psychological therapy for addictive personality disorder.

StevieJ wrote: criminal recklessness

Not always. Often it's a teen with his/her friends in the car, laughing, listening to music, joking around - without a care in the world - not one criminal thing going through their heads. Then someone ends up injured or dead and everyone's life is ruined. I think the incarceration for them would be for purposes of reflection and treatment - for the average person the ongoing guilt is more than enough punishment. There needs to be some grace in our justice system - because it is often beyond the capacity of the victim to offer any. IMO

StevieJ wrote: being stupid is any kind of excuse for it

It is biology. It is the same thing that enabled me to sustain injury after injury riding my dirt bikes and the thing that allows our kids to die for us in wars. Evolution has deemed it vital for us to go through a period of not being able to put 2 and 2 together.

Quote
StevieJ wrote: you would feel differently if you lost your wife and two young children

I know. That is why the grace needs to come from the system not the victim.

lol. i had to look it up after you said that and i did the video search and found the one where she tried out for 'america's got talent'... rofl!

They need the "fear of God" put in them as a deterent to doing it.....

unfortunately, that doesnt work very well. it just doesnt build the necessary responsibility levels. it can work for the short term, somewhat, but not the long.
