...just like all those fast food burger joint adverts that show you a nice big juicy burger that doesn't even fit on the bun on the commercial.
However, when you get it it's a wafer thin "hockey puck" patty 1/4 inch smaller in diameter than the bun under a slice of "pasturised processed American cheese food product", a couple anemic slices of tomato & onion, a piece of lettuce ll with a couple squirts of some kind of goopy "special sauce" on it.
The bun never looks as plump as in the pictures, either.

...true. Usually looks like someone sat on it.
There are places you can get burgers that look like real burgers, but those tend to be a bit more expensive (though very tasty).
The brewpub down the street from me makes a fantastic hand formed super lean (almost steak) cooked to order burger that stacks almost as tall as a "Dagwood sandwich" (the patty itself is almost an inch thick) topped with cheeze and all other sorts of goodies. Actually not too badly priced considering, and after you've had one, you really don't need to eat anything else.
Yep, it's a full-bore cold. Very dry sore throat. Cough. No fever, so not the flu at least. Misery factor 6 of 10... :sick:
Oh noes, hopes it will be just a 48 hour thing> Modern science can't cure colds like they seemed to be able to in the olden days
The Rosetta comet chaser wakes up on Monday, wow that will be something. ESA website looks like it is getting hammered but http://sci.esa.int/rosetta/53612-the-most-important-alarm-clock-in-the-solar-system/
Tsukomo was nominated for an Oscar wow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ihx542wz2M
my compy went to sleep during the idl render? iz so boring it can't keep the pewter awake?

this was interesting http://www.graphics.cornell.edu/online/box/compare.html
90 gigs later i feel like poser can't give me the renders i need. sighhhh
nooo, no more cold blasts - complaint
Spring please, tulips, daffodils,
tin roof rusted, a lil ole place where
We are getting back down to the single digits for most of next week
That's nice. Oh, well, another thing I miss out on because it's too expensive. Still, I haven't used the first Big Cat yet, so...
Dana
idl render been stuck at 54% over n hour. iz time to go back to iblao, me thinks.
Morning. Gunmetal clouds scraping rooftops left grimy and dull from last week's heat outside my window, but no rain now for a couple of weeks :)
meh gallery won't let me click but I'll try to remember to get back to it :)
sigh wish i haz more cores, more rams. more bus hzees.
ick, my finger nails all have those rough ridges in em, like a bad inkjet printer banding.
my first inkjet was the hp550c. took me months to save up for it. printing from coreldraw it would take all night for it to dribble to the printer. centronics cable oscar mike gulf.
was noisy.
not as noisy as dot matrix. the okidata 590. lol. upgrade from 9pin to 24pin. yowsa, lol.
back then, publisher manuscript submissions specs said 'no' dot-matrix
sigh, 1989 memories
sent 3 manuscripts to Daw. reject reject reject. Ace reject reject reject. 'no simultaneous submissions'. >.<
Baen, 17 month wait. they were nice enough to send a critique. reject.
Poser IDL works best when there is a figure and a light dome. If you are still rendering the Secret Agent set be aware that situations where there is an inside and an outside, like a room with a window, are the toughest/slowest for indirect lighting algos to handle. Also the biggest SNAFU with IDL is leaving GC off ! ! ! :)
no more secret agent.
but nao iblao, sss, using some of Snarly's ez metals blurred reflections :lol: i'm fascinated by those metals but tanks my cpu.
asian court has transmaps
... 4 bounces - 100% radiance - 0 min shade - 10 pixel
up to 88%
one point light, one ibl light.
i put metal on the mech outfit and metal on the dragonling and they're standing close, those reflect rays are prolly bouncing like a pinball ricochet
bing bing bing, ricochet rabbit
tee hee
oh dear, a lil tipsy,
Oh I see well you will be much better off in terms of render time with a specular only light to cheat the blurred reflect :)
there's a thread at rmp on poser idl. was so depressing, giving up on the idl thing. unless it's a portrait of Anastasia or Tyler.
pp12 doesn't give an option to put a gc group id. comes with pp14 ... or is it a scattering id? supposed to fix the blue problem, i think.
i liked Rezca's renders. with the biguana on the stairs, pizza. the lighting was like wow
that render you did in the ballroom, stuck in my mind, was a real nice lighting

Don't use IDL much, is not much chop when it comes to animating whatever the renderer. Ballroom? Dont recall, sorry :)

there was a new texture set for the ballroom. light rays from the windows. lots a wood paneling.
Cough is worse, sore throat better, still no fever.
So...
Aspirin™, fluids, caffeine, etc. Can't go the alcohol route (diabetes).
Getting the urge to do "Dark" renders to suit my mood. Been mostly sweetness and light in the render dept. for me lately. Hmmm....(coff)
vics vapor rub :) and shelden's kitty song?
tomorrow is munday already?
one more day to mourn, then back into the world. no paycheck this week. iz gonna hurt.

Oh this one, the textures are so good they almost light themselves ($2 wow) is a LIghtwave render with a turbulence procedural driving some volumetric lights, no IDL all spots and points my preferred instruments of illumination :)
