    ...just using the base SSS at default settings. Andrea IBL light set.

    This looks like a it could become a learning curve that could be close to that of Blender after considering all the channels involved just for the surfaces as well as the lighting.

    Complaint: the RMP "You already have this product" check is broken... nearly re-bought a bunch of 3D-Age's skimpwear before realising Something Was Wrong >_<... and had to painstakingly figure out which I already had, and empty out half my cart again. Extra complaint: can't sort the per-vendor owned-product list by name (to make it easier to try and match things already purchased), can't display more than thirty items per page (making it painful to compare), and I really reeeeeally wish they'd put that "You already have this product" check back again >_<.</p>

    My complaint >_<. How y'all doing? </div>

    I get the sort by name option in My Library. I just tried it and it works fine. It is a pain that they have only 30 per page, though. But the filter works well, and it's pretty fast. And on the product page, the Add to Cart button should be greyed out and say "purchased"...it does for me. They should also put that on the products catalog pages, not just the individual product pages. I do on mine.

    erm... on Renderosity? o.0 ... (I have no complaints about the DAZ store finding things now - the two stores seem to have 'swapped' features - for awhile now Rendo would find things and DAZ wouldn't, now the status seems to have inverted >_<).</div>

    Oh, sorry. Somehow I completely missed "RMP". :red:

    @Kyoto: nice!

    Complaints: IRS trouble. They apparently decided that a bunch of my deductions due to spousal support then my agency sent ut a warning that the IRS was gong to take a lot of y paycheck, and my ex-landlady appears to have thrown it away and not told me. So I get to spend all morning (or longer) squabbling with the IRS at their office down the road! :ahhh: :ahhh: :ahhh:

    They're taking so much there's not enough left for next weeks rent, so if they don't let me have more, there are going to be serious and unfortunate repercussions. Feh.

    I can't catch a break, I swear. :down:

    ...ugh, they are no fun to deal with (the IRS) because they don't care what kind of hardship it places on your life. Surprising they don't go around kneecapping people.

    Had to deal with them 15 years ago because of my unemployment payments several years earlier as well as a screw up by my company's then HR manager on my deduction status. During the UC orientation session (which back then was done as a group rather than individual affair) the state employment officer never said a word that one had to pay taxes on UC benefits (this was the first time I ever filed for them). Now they do tell you up front and even give you an option to have a portion of each benefit payment set aside for tax purposes (still don't understand this, a tax on a benefit that is paid for by...a tax, sounds rather entropic).

    Ended up owing back taxes because of both incidents that was deducted from my paycheques for the next two and a half years.

    Unfortunately where the IRS is concerned, the burden is always dumped on the the one initially screwed rather than the one who actually screwed up.

    Ah, but the results are worth it. I've been tweaking my tiny brain out trying it grasp it.
    There need to be some realism presets, like the toon one; it would help a lot.

    ...still playing around with AoA's Metalized Glass Shaders. Don't have anything quite to show yet as my latest experiment ended up turning into a full blown scene.

    While working on it, discovered more content I purchased but never DL'd. Wanted to use the Zepplin Star, and Real Metal Shaders but no where in the archives even though I bought them last year. Now i have to go to a hotspot as I had four failures trying to DL the Zeppelin from home. Ugh I want to knock those sat dishes off the roof of the house next door that are right in LOS of my flat.

    Also also: squirrels seem to have vanished from my neighborhood and I had ZERO to do with that. HONEST. So looks like the annual Me Versus Squirrels has been cancelled.


    squirrels get away with some outrageous behavior, all cuz they turn on the kyoots

    deliberately nya-nya yoo can't catch me at my poor buppy. if my buppy ever does catch 'em it ain't gonna be pretty.

    A friend of mine has Jack Russel terriers, they're always chasing squirrels and chipmunks. He has to yell at them to stop, otherwise, as you said...it wouldn't be pretty.

    Dana
    My Jack Russell barked at squirrels in the yard (I got an old farm so there's big oak trees and lotsa acorns) until one day I told him the squirrels were laughing at him and calling him names (because the squirrels make that chuffing sound that folks around here call "barking")
    Jack has never listened to me before or since, but I swear he has not barked at a squirrel since that time.

    Complaint: He ignores any other command including "no". On the other hand he responds well to "Do you want a cookie?" (Milkbone)


    of course he wants a cookie, lol

    Why? Are they that fast? Mine is pretty fast. I know mine is capable of 4 Megabytes per second. Not megabits, Megabytes. But I only saw that once. Most sites can't spit out files that fast. This one only gets to around 1.1 to 1.5 Megabytes per second. Still not bad. Adam Thwaites' site, most-digital-creations, has two speeds...a slower one for the freebies, and a very fast one for the paid items.

    No, very slow (the electrons have to run about under the sea, remember, plus flip their "z"s into "s"s and toss in "u"s in various places ;-). We're lucky to get a sustained 200 kiloBYTES/sec... >_<... and thankfully this isn't a 'real time forum', 'cause ping times are generally around 250-300msec to US servers (~_~).</p>
