    A friend of mine just shared this tidbit, from his workplace.

    " I think I heard someone just say "redistribute our focus"."

    That has to be the stupidest thing anyone is going to tell me all day long, and it is just 6:50 am...

    ...freaked out the other day when my ID card wasn't in the wallet pocket where it was supposed to be. First thing I thought "there goes another 46$ and having to spend a whole day at the DMV" (and I don't even drive). Sighed in heavy relief when I found it behind one of my other cards.

    The last time I had it out was having to show it at the local retro video/pinball arcade where a friend had his birthday celebration. I should say I was flattered but c'mon the oldest video game I found there was Asteroids (they didn't even have Breakout, Space Wars, or OmegaRace although they did have two of my faves, Tempest and Berserk) and the oldest pinball table was Terminator II (sheesh, you'd think they'd at least have Xenon, Gorgar, and Pinbot, if they didn't want to mess with the old mechanical scoring machines I used to play when I was a teenager).

    ..huh?

    Would have made more sense if they said, "redistribute our buttocks." Might have actually prompted some action.

    So SickleYield got me curious about 3DCoat and since they had a fully functional 30 day demo on their site, I finally grabbed it and started pushing paint around.

    Oh man it is like painting miniatures, except MORE AWESOME. FINALLY a program that does painting over UV seams AND which seems to hit me the right way.

    Teaser pic below, diffuse level only:

    ...not bad considering they changed the policy on their educational version to include hobbyists, seniors, and the unemployed (and I fit all three categories). 99$ is a reasonable price.

    ...I'll have to DL the trial version tomorrow.

    Nice looking wing.

    It'd be fun to see better textures for some of the [older] critters like the biguana and subdragon XD
    Also was this amphitere freebie floating around for a while that was UV mapped but had no textures at all.


    One thing I could never understand or figure out about 3DCoat was using certain UVs on its own texture map - like how the subdragon and wyvern have a separate texture map for the wings and head and body. I could only ever get 3DCoat to slap all the UVs onto a single image that was always a 1:1 ratio in size. ???

    My trial's expired for ages, and I never got anywhere with it in terms of scultping or painting - I did get some UV-ing done, and that was it.

    Not sure if I qualify for it though, since I am employed =P
    Part-time, but still.

    ...well if you consider yourself a hobbyist who doesn't intend to make a commercial living with the app you would still qualify.

    I don't know what version you've used, Rezca, but this is 3.17.18; it has export-per-material option for it to plop out appropriate materials.

    Also, this definitely counts as "older creature". :D

    ...my YouTube is buggered. Keep getting Internal Server Errors clicking on anything in my favourites. Updated my flash player earlier as I couldn't view anything the last several days because it was supposedly out of date.

    ...so I still can't listen to my music. >:(

    A full hour of driving, four full hours of fold, spindle and mutilate. Half an hour of am I going to get a ticket for driving myself here, another moment or few of did I pass the eye test, after they decided I was okay to be there because nobody saw me drive. One BIG flash and then a new Drivers License. Then it was get in another line in a totally different building. Then some more fold, spindle and mutilate, this time with sit and bore, stand move down some, sit and yet more boredom. Ended with STAND (I'm on a cane here folks), please do not lean on the counter, sign here and then here and here also in triplicate. Money changed hands, from mine to theirs. I got passed a total of five pieces of paper with stuff printed on it and four pretty stickers. Oh, and one rectangle of Embossed flimsy metal.
    You Got to LOVE the DMV.

    This is not a complaint. This was my real day.

    (Through sources I am sworn not to reveal) I have been able to obtain a photo of that license. Of course some sensitive information has been obscured to prevent identity theft.

    Agreed. When we first formed a darts team and joined a league we were thrilled to bits when we won the "Wooden Spoon" for coming lowest in the points table in our very first season. The landlord of our pub even put up a display stand so we could have it on show above the entrance to the darts area that he had created for us.

    We worked very hard in our 2nd season to keep the award.

    My personal hero is Eratosthenes, best known for measuring the diameter of the Earth quite accurately over 2400 years ago. His nickname was Beta, because he was great at everything but never the very best.

    day job and sleep don't go together. Zzzzz. doh, if only the chair had a seatbelt so i wouldn't fall off.

    i deleted 8 gigs of music, photography, and Outlook archive. pc seems a bit faster. i really want a new one with Win7. what do i have to do to get a new compy here? i can't remember the compy brand Nanobot bought.

    3D coat looks interesting. do they have stiff/achy joints discount?

    Nope, didn't spot anything about Bone Gnome discounts. (And, ungh, I have to spring for a full professional version. Ah well!)
