    ARGH - fighting the Fillipa (sp?) hair. It's not conforming, so I'm having to play the "Scale -and-render-and-translate-and-render" game to keep Girl 6 from having unsightly bald spots. :bug:

    It's taken 3 bottles of beer to get this far, I swear this is more work than is needed. :blank: Thank heavens for blues or I'd have killed my laptop! :gulp: Occlusion lights render pretty fast even with transparency.

    I really want the Flying Guts Monster to be chasing Girl6 Cheerleader around a drive-in theater. But man, it's work! :bug:

    *sways to Howlin' Wolf* :coolsmile:

    *edit* Occlusion finished, here you go.

    Looks good, Wooly! But what song is she cheering to? I Touch Myself? %-P

    She's cheering to my fave song, in fact, the theme song I use I chat (where I am Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered serpent)...

    "Cold Hearted Snake" :snake: :snake: :snake:

    ...do you have any other lights in the scene.

    For setup purposes I do a simple work light set using a couple Distant Lights and then when I add the main light set, I often forget to turn them off before I start the render process.


    Don't have the Predatron IDL set so I don't know how involved it is.

    It was the only light in the scene. Of note: the occlusion-based version just rendered fine. :blank:

    Is a puzzlement. Will re-test.

    Just tested and I run into the same thing. This was rendered using Predatron's Sunset light set and came out fine. Using the IDL version of Sunset and it crashes rendering the hair. I tried applying UberSurface to the hair and turning off Raytracing and Occlusion but it crashed in the same place with IDL.

    I'll have to make sure task manager is up and monitor memory if I try it again just to see if maybe it's running out of memory for some reason. That will have to wait until tomorrow though, time for bed now.

    Ok, not just me. I wonder if it's a hair-and-IDL random bug since mine worked the second time.. ut I hadn't applied a material, either! :bug:

    Going to try that next.

    ...ran into a similar issue with the Mentha Piperata hair. While it didn't crash on my new system, it still was taking forever to the point of appearing that the process had stalled when using an IDL light set. When I turned off the raytracing, then it rendered fine and in a much more reasonable amount of time. Of course that was due to the fact it was loaded with transmaps. Don't know how they expected it to render back in the 32 bit days before we could turn raytracing off.

    ...wasn't very good at the clarinet myself. Never even considered trying brass instruments as I just didn't have the breath volume.


    Lately though I feel the same with CG software (both 2D & 3D). I have no less than fourteen different applications and primarily use four of them

    I'm a lightweight.. :red: All I have is (in order of frequency of use):

    - DS 4.6
    - Carrara 8
    - Bryce 7 Pro
    - Hexagon

    I keep thinking of Lightwave, but not until I have a Core i7 system. I could skip it if DS had particle effects...

    Another night installing, eating, having beer, and rendering! Gril 6 drop coming before I go to bed! :coolsmile:

    I'm much more more boring, Lightwave, Painter and Poser. LW gives you compositing as well, use that a fair bit :) GIT and GIMP from command line., just looking at this compys toolbar most other stuff is from Apple. Oh couldn't write a script without JEdit. Boring is good :)

    studioartvartanian haz a store sale running. the 80s hair looks interesting.

    broke the belt on my hoover last night. ahh fahh nahh bul

    did my cleaning chores last night so i could focus 100% on learning the animation tools this w/e.
    i'm hoping, hoping hoping, fingers crossed, toes crossed, wiggle wiggle, hmm, can't actually cross my toes, but hoping the graph tool can fix the walk designer walks.
    am i setting up for disappointment?

    not sure how to organize the cameras. sometimes poser is quirky when rendering from 'not the main' camera.
    supposedly there is a python script with poser that will parent infinity lights.
    thinking of, not tested, putting a """ guide prop """ under the floor, and parenting the camera and lights to it.
    it just sucks that dyn simulations have to be recalced. haz to keep in mind morphs move linear.
