..all the more that the next version needs to have a background autosave like other applications do.
As far as I have been able to determine, there isn't any salt in allspice.

..do you have a Whole Foods market in the area? That's where I found it. Here in the States it isn't sold in a tin, but a jar instead. Almost missed it myself until I asked one of the market personnel.
Got really confused trying to make a scene with some dolls and toys. It was trying to maintain scaling ratios to make sure the girls look like dolls in a house.
Why the West End? In the city where I grew up, there was St. Patrick's Cathedral. The big pipe organ was in a loft at the rear of the sanctuary (above the main entrance). That happened to be the west end. But there is also St. Mary's Cathedral, which runs North/South. The big organ is in the loft above the main entrance, but that is the North end. Now that I think of it, there is also St. Anne's, with the main entrance facing west. That has a big organ in the loft above, too. So that's two out of three that have the west position. Is there some kind of tradition involved?

The Dollhouse? :coolsmile: I liked that show!

...traditionally cathedrals (Catholic faith) were oriented with the chancel end to the east and entrance at the west end. That practise has most likely succumbed to centuries urban growth over the centuries since the great Medieval and Gothic cathedrals were laid out.
Also over the years, the word "Cathedral" has become somewhat of a "generic" term for any large house of worship, and has been adopted by different faiths such as Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, the Church of England, as well as even some of the "new" Evangelical sects (eg. the "Crystal Cathedral" of the reformed Church) which do not follow Roman Catholic traditions. For example St Mark's Cathedral (Episcopal) in Seattle was actually laid out in the opposite orientation with the entrance on the east end and Chancel on the west.
Morning. Meh weather haz closed in again, grey sky, humid, windy and occasional big spots of rain feh :>)
Think it matches old skins applied with MAT poses to new MAT zones on the genesis 2 figure :>)
Real Autumn weather here, with cool days and even cooler nights (50's to 70's F). My favorite time of year. A light windbreaker and I'm good to go. :)
is full of nommy nomms, tee hee
wish i could render frosting so delicious looking
Frosting is like snow with the reflect and specular cranked down low (y)
Is that the LoRez Monk & Donk? It's in my wishlist, but even on sale I couldn't d it.

...II love that set too. Again very big and well detailed.
Most historical cathedrals either have the organ in a loft at the West End (most common) of the sanctuary, off to one (or both) of the sides of the Choir, in one (or both) of the Transepts, or to one side of the east end of the Naive where it intersects with the Transepts (also known as The Crossing).
It's also not unusual for a large cathedral to have more than one organs as well (most often one main organ and one or more smaller instruments like a Chancel/Choir and/or chapel organ.
..so is that one of the mules for Sister Sarah?
JT made the whole thing in parts so it would be easy to slip the organ in somewhere I guess, I'll have a look later on. Was going to have a swim but might be less tiring to just walk around in the rain >:o
..all the more that the next version needs to have a background autosave like other applications do.
saves suck up ram perhaps when there's not much left, autosaves can be a little crashy :>)

...basically what it does is save you the trouble of having to save V4 skins as .duf files individually. Without it, the process goes something like this:
Load a blank Genesis 1 figure
Apply the V4 skin map
Save as a Materials Preset. (goes into the LIbrary/Presets/Materials folder)
..."wash rinse repeat" for each different makeup/texture and/or eye colour map the character has that you wish to use.
For example, to save all of eye colours, makeup and nail presets for Fabiana's Druscilla Goth Character, the process above would need to be repeated something like152 times as each one would need to be converted to a .duf first.
Gets kind of old really quick compared to simply clicking on one of the icons.
St. Anne's is in what was the French area of Fall River.
Just thought you'd be interested. I don't know anything about these churches historically, except that all three I mentioned are quite old. I'm sure the other two have some interesting organs, too. I didn't see mention of them, though.

I can see a scene with a lot of monks, or a lot of donkeys, but not a lot of both. Maybe I'm just not creative enough. But at the full price? I couldn't ever justify that!
I think the LoRez dafodills is a great idea, as is the LoRez chickens. Couldn't afford them, either.

[...well that makes the second time tonight FF bleedin' locked up on me forcing a hard shutdown and restart as the system was just hung up in a perpetual loop.]
...anyway...
A very nice instrument. What I was able to find (before FF went all stupid in the head on me) was it is rather unusual for a mid - late 20th Century installation in that it all ranks (or sets of pipes) are what is termed as "straight" with no "borrowing" or "unification" that was usually commonplace in this era.
Unification is a practise of using one set of pipes for handling several different stop pitches, in effect, making the stoplist look larger than the tonal resources (total number of pipes) that the instrument actually has. For example one row of pipes could be used say for flute stops of 16, 8, and 4' pitch (8' middle C corresponding to middle C on a piano) by extending it by another 13 pipes above and below the normal keyboard "compass".
Borrowing is the practise of allowing a single stop to be drawn on more than one keyboard without coupling keyboards (or "divisions") together. This was especially common in the pedal division (the part of the organ played from the pedalboard).
Unification and borrowing was most prevalent in Cinema organs due to the tight space restrictions and budgets of most theatrers of the day. In fact, unlike a church or concert hall organ, which has each set (called a "division") of stops assigned to a specific keyboard, a good number of individual stops on a cinema organ were what is termed "floating" in that they could be drawn and played on any of the keyboards (or even the pedals) without coupling one keyboard to another. This of course allowed the performer a great deal of flexibility and again, made the instrument appear much larger than it actually was both in the number of stop tabs on the console and tonal effects it could produce.
By the mid 20th century this method of construction had been adopted in church and concert organ building as well as electronic key action was the norm. With electricity (assisted by pneumatics) there was no more weight to the touch. Unification and borrowing was only limited by the amount wiring between the console and pipe chests.
The downside of this is a loss of richness and depth to the instrument's full ensemble as more than one key can be activating the same pipe.
Back to the St Anne organ...
The number of pipes for each stop listed in the specification corresponds exactly to the number of keys on the keyboards (61) or pedals (32) on the console. This is what is termed a "straight" specification A few stops do list more pipes than the corresponding number of keys/pedals, but these are what are termed compound registers (or "mixtures) where one stop actually activates a chorus of high pitched pipes which adds brightness and clarity to the full ensemble.
This is the way organs were built before the advent of electricity going all the way back to the Gothic days. Key action was mechanical, just as it is in a piano, and each note on the keyboard or pedalboard was represented by an individual corresponding pipe on the windchest, the valve for which was opened via a series of levers, rollers, and pushrods (termed "trackers"). Because of this direct connection between the keyboard and windchest valve, unification and borrowing was not possible without adding a great deal of complicated machinery, and thus more weight to the touch. Indeed, before the invention of pneumatic assist in the mid 19th century, coupling two or three keyboards together required a bit of strength as well as dexterity as one was also moving the mechanism and keys for each of the keyboards coupled together.
...there will be a pop quiz on Friday. ;-)

...urban chicken farming is the latest craze here in Portland.
Battery or free range? >;)
...more like "Free Yard"

Not to mention autosaves that cut in when you're in the middle of working on something (I'm looking at you, Wings3D).
