That's taken from real photography. It's called color temperature. Actually, incandescent bulbs are not as hot as some other types. It's been a while, so I've forgotten the temperatures. But even that is taken from astro-science. The color of light derives from it's temperature. You've heard the term "white hot"? A white star is hotter than a red star. I believe blue stars are even hotter. Then there are brown dwarves, which are so cold they hardly register.
Here's a handy chart
And this page has a pretty good summary of the subject.

Thanks for sharing the links. Unfortunately, the first link doesn't work.
I discovered that I can change the color/temperature of the lights from the Luxrender GUI too. I can use the color picker to choose a color for the lights.
You're welcome! You can just put color temperature chart into your Google search box and you'll see several right at the top of the page.

I must note an error in at least one of the charts, where it says "degrees kelvin". That is an amateurish mistake. When using Kelvins it is just the number and the word Kelvins. No degrees. So, for example, you'd say 3,500 Kelvins.

I have come here to eat sushi and complain...and I'm all out of sushi.

Complaint: I'm still sick.
Non-complaint: I'm a lot better.
Found one for you, Misty. :)
Real heartwarming :)
Kingdom of Possum? :)
i still have the link to the underground town http://www.cooberpedy.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=191
Population of 3,500...cosmopolitan? :smirk: The city I grew up in had a population of over 100,000 at one time. Right now it's about 88,000. And I would never call Fall River cosmopolitan. Maybe I need to look that word up, I must have something wrong.
Dana
cosmopolitan |ˌkäzməˈpälitn| Including people from many different countries
Hot again. Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot. No wonder I was feeling hot.
*wonders how Wendy is doing*

OK, yes, I'd call Fall River that. Hell, when I worked for COMDEX, that was cosmopolitan! I guess I was thinking of another word. Maybe it was metropolitan.
When you don't use words, they fade away.

I thought I was, but I'm not sure now. This congestion just keeps hanging on. I remember it being like that the last time I had this...maybe five years ago. Yes, yes I do. It seemed like it took ages to let go. :down: It wears me down...I don't feel like doing anything, I don't have the energy to do much.
Dana
Me too, not hot enough for aircon at my place yet. Day after tomorrow might be a different story.
The poor cabby that drove me home had a blistered arm on the drivers window side, ouchies. Felt real sorry for him.
The fire situation here is not so bad either 17:50 2014 01 27
...you need a degree for that. Really.
Is there a Possum King? :)
Hope it's not like Burger King.
...that would be scary. Wouldn't want to wake up to find him in my bedroom
...bugger didn't win the 2.4$ Million Megabucks (which after taxes would have been 800,000) Back down to 1$ million again. Still bought a ticket 300,000$ over ten years is better than 0$ over ten years.

Perhaps an NVDITWAS (Naked Vicky Diving In a Temple With A Sword) would scare the possums away :lol:

Not to do a blog! Every one who thinks he has something important to say writes a blog. Most of them are not so important. People might be interested in what you have to say, though. People have made money from such a simple idea before, you know?
Dana
...there's no steady living to be made in a blog. Besides, I cannot afford, or have the savvy, to maintain a site.
I would have to work for a civic PR/tourism agency or local news outlet and they require degrees and experience in fields like advertising and/or Journalism. Not about to go back to school for 4 years, nor can I afford it.
...there's a lot of things I can and should be able to do, but don't have the bloody piece of paper to prove it.
Not much money in journalism any more, don't know whether that is a good or bad thing cos it was obvious stuff had to change one way or another. Vogue magazine still publishes tho, goes to show if you do things people are interested in they will come :)
...metropolitan dailies are beginning to drop their print editions and going solely to Website editions.
Part of the reason why Journalism is dying (at least here in the US) is that there is no more integrity. "Infotainment" has taken the place of real news reporting, it's all about ratings now, not about actually informing and educating the people. This is why Fox News found it more important to have a live feed of the stricken cruise ship being towed into port on their site's home page rather than any mention of the meteor that exploded over Russia (at the same time an asteroid passed the earth at a distance closer than the moon).
It's why with regards to my local media that a Portland Trailblazers recent win gets coverage when the Senate going on vacation without approving an extension of unemployment benefits does not..
I'm beginning to feel like the character Howard Beale from the film Network.
Sensationalism and fluff sells. Real news doesn't.
When I studied Journalism in High School there was a term 'Yellow Journalism" which related to the idea of sensationalism over content. That is where news writing and reporting has gone today.
I remember seeing an interview on PBS with the now late Walter Cronkite. He basically gave today's news media an enema.
Think it was that great American journalist Mark Twain who wrote reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated :lol:
no wanna walk to the bus. no wanna. cold, dark, hurty toes, bone gnomes hanging on. shooooo away wid yees gnomes.
days, months, years, endless cycle of walking to the bus.
sunrise 7:09. bus 7:10. 7:10 :bug: gonna miss it. 7:40 then.
Real hot night here, I'll wish some of the heat your way :)
...you need a degree for that. Really.
That's too bad, because you really do excel at it.
+1
The death of real news began with the substitution of sound bites for in-depth reporting, gossip and innuendo for stories of substance, and especially when ridicule and mockery took the place of informed political discussion and debate.
And sadly, at least here in the US, the real problems with education aren't being addressed. For example, just here in my part of the country:
Children are no longer being taught cursive writing, multiplication tables, or how to do math in their heads. The 3 "R's" are no longer at the core of education.
I have seen the result of this at the local Hardees where I hang out. New employees that have so little skill with math that they are confused when you try to give them exact change. That are shocked when they find out a job requires actual labor.
If this generation makes it to college, I can see a lot of remedial courses in their futures.
[end old man rant]
sad fact, but cute. :) thanks. :)
reminds me haz to check my lottery tix.
i started playing kk's name, but only takes 5 numbers so i left off the 'd'. plus my bubby's. spending 14 a week on lotto take5 these days. gave up on the scratch-offs, never won more than 10 bucks.
Lottery tickets are expenditure, like content, not investments. By the set up the expected return is always negative (on the average you end up with less than you put in - given that some people end up with a lot more that needs a lot of people with a lot less than they put in to balance). As long as you get a dollar's worth of fun out of them, and can afford it, that's fine but don't do it expecting to make the money back or to come out ahead.
content not investments? :lol:
meh, got 2 numbers. wins a free quick pick.
found out recently i can buy a whole week of tickets on one visit to the lottery store. not buying the scratchees, i'm saving 8 bucks a week.
saving, lol. falling for the gimmicks.
the lottery store has shelves full of beanie animals, it's torture. :lol: they have ironman ballz, and scooby.:)
i can play an extra couple games tnite,
anyone want to give me some numbers? #s go up to 39.
this isn't the mega-mills, top prize is like hmm, i don't know what the top prize is. payouts gets divvies, so its like 40k.
a decent amount of daz gcs, :) not enough to hire RUSH to play for my birthday. it's the big 50, RUSH wouldn't be extravagant.
