    Background: When computers crash they often give diagnostic information. Unflatteringly, this diagnostic information is often called a "memory dump" or a "core dump"; a term from the 1960's. Yes, you can actually think of "a dump" as the same thing described by the slang of a "number 2", because this really is an apt description! That's because a "dump" contains everything in the computer's digestive system; valuable information for anybody willing to try to understand it (even just a little bit) and sift through it to figure out what killed the patient. :cheese:

    Getting Your Hands Dirty: Dumps give low-level crash information, including memory locations and offsets, the module and instruction last executed (for sometimes the "poison pill" instruction was the one just before the one executed). Yes, it's "Geekspeak". Sorry about that...but in my defense, I never promised that this stuff would be easy to do. However, the information is available, should a user be interested in doing some digging. Or annoyed enough at BSODs as to be willing to make an effort. Google is your friend. If you have an inquisitive mind and a can-do attitude, you can figure out more than you give yourself credit for!

    Good luck swatting your BSOD. I hope you figure out what is causing it.


    ...I've looked for more background on what I saw in the diagnostics but all that I get are references to articles and postings that don't help clarify the matter at all for they seem to be written in some language other than plain everyday English. This stuff is just too incomprehensible and over my head.

    Like I mentioned, If I knew it, I'd be earning a living at it. Instead, I'm just going to have to call someone in with the proper expertise to insure the fix gets done right.

    gave shade mixer about 5 hours of my life today.


    brought my wings project into poser for a test render. over 800 polys, mostly triangles. it's an empty glass. needs some wine to fit inside it.

    it feels good to make progress, haven't put up freebies since Wayii left with the challenges.


    ...looking pretty good.

    Someday I have to figure out this modelling stuff.

    Me, too!

    Wings3D and Hex are pretty good, you don't need a lot of flash for most stuff :>)

    I have the latest build of Hexagon, and I started to work with it. I have some of the tutorials by John "Fugazzi", including two he sold here, using Hexagon. I haven't followed along with those two yet. I was glad he did them, because his other ones over at Renderosity utilize Silo, which has its differences from Hex.

    I'll get back to it eventually.

    i'd lie to try Silo. can't afford it for awhile.

    I guess vultures operate on a "still moving=not dead" logic. :)

    All of my modeling is done in Silo. I'm getting ready to retire it though. I'm gonna be getting 3DSMax. Silo was a fantastic modeler. It has great capabilities and a fantastic and completely customizable UI. It is very user friendly

    I'm not sure what, if any, differences there are but you can get Silo 2 via Steam for $59.99. I've not seen anything in any of the tutorials that I couldn't do with the Steam version so I'm loving that I got it for $40 cheaper than even the sale price.

    I haven't even tried customizing the UI or any of that, just basic vertex modeling but I'm finding it very easy to use. On par with Hexagon for ease of use but much more powerful.

    The Steam version is 2.2 Pro but since that was the same as the demo I downloaded I thought it was probably the same.

    And it's not really streaming it's though the Steam game store, they also sell software. You download the app to your system it just uses the Steam app to keep things updated. Most of the games do have code in them to check in and verify your license once in a while - I think it's like once a month or so - but I've never had an issue with anything not being available even if I didn't have a network connection at the time.

    I would give a direct link but I think that's against the TOS since it's for a commercial site. You can just go to steampowered.com and then go to the software section and then filter by animation/modeling to find it though.

    yes with mouse, bat and chimp ears, LAMH geometry conformed using Transfer tool
    just a small test render, an animation with lighting will take much longer

    Don't know. I didn't see it there but I have to admit I don't go to any of their stores that often so I'm not as versed in finding stuff there so I might have missed it.

    The only places I'm seeing it for sale are at SteamPowered and at Nevercenter's own site.

    ...Nevercenter is still offering Silo for 109$. As I am not thrilled about the conditions of the Steam deal (even though I am on a very meager income) I'd rather just save up and get it from the original vendor. Besides, then I also get customer service.

    SM started selling it about a year ago. With it being sold at so many places maybe they will do an update
