    Hay folk ... the tinhats are passe now. Apparently the updated fashion is for "lead helmets". I did not make this up. I read this on the 'Net .... and you want to know why don't you ;-) It's hilarious. The genius [seriously, that is his status] had figured out that to protect our minds from the massive magnetic whatever that the unmentionable whatever is going to be tossing the planet with...

    AFAIK lead doesn't protect against magnetism - you need iron for that. Lead however protects against atomic radiation.

    Is that what's making our clouds all shiny white?

    Iron helmets? hmm ... hehehe ... okay ... thinking of those suits of armour worn by those riding horses carrying lances.
    That would be quite the fashion statement these days.
    Isn't it amazing how old fashions come 'round to being the latest fad all over again.

    I am assuming you are talking about the sort of lead helmet that you place on your head, not the sort that makes your pants sag, if I'm wrong in this assumption then you might as well ignore the rest of this post, and I suggest that you might well be posting in the wrong forum.

    A lead helmet is not necessary as a tin-foil hat works perfectly well if constructed correctly. The first thing people tend to forget is good earthing, in order to dampen the signals that they use to control and manipulate our thoughts the hat does need to be grounded with a maximum resistance of 0.23Ω between helmet and ground, it is best to use multiple earth leads to ensure a constant low impedance to ground so that even if one should fail you still maintain good earthing as even a momentary failure could result in them taking over your thought processes.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: If you are earthing your hat to a ring main earth please make sure that you do use the earth connection, not the live or neutral one, that mistake can be particularly hair raising and if you are in the least unsure about this please consult a qualified electrician, preferably one who wears a tin foil hat.

    Also it is possible to use a mesh type construction for your hat as a suitably sized mesh will block electrical signals perfectly adequately whilst leaving gaps for cooling air currents to work their magic on your over active brain thus ensuring that your thought processes do not suffer degradation due to over heating. This also makes the hat lighter and so less likely to cause compressed brain syndrome, major cause of faulty thinking amongst people who think they know better than you.

    The next thing to consider is the thickness of the foil used, whilst you might think a thick foil would be best you are in fact better off using multiple layers of thinner foil with small air gaps between the layers. This creates a capacitive effect which when combined with the resistance of the foil creates a simple electronic filter that dampens the signals even further. If you are feeling especially paranoid, sorry I mean concerned, then you can add twisted section of foil to create inductive circuitry within the hat so forming a quite effective RLC band stop filter which is extremely effective.

    Please note that to make maximum use of these notes you must be aware of all the frequencies you are being subjected to so you can tune your hat, mesh size, RLC values etc to achieve maximum potential signal blocking.


    SERIOUS BIT: Electricity can kill so please don't play around with it if you don't know what you are doing, you can cause ventricular fibrillation with just a few milliamp's of current across your heart, a fraction of what you can draw from a domestic mains supply so please be safe.

    Head yes. As in that thing on top of our necks.

    I LOVE this post, thank you. Had a good hard laugh which after the possible heart attack [my system doesn't agree with heat waves], I really needed.

    If one could figure out all the equipment parameters for modeling, would make for a fantastic render or two.

    I loved the way they had David Bowie play Nikola Tesla in the movie "The Prestige". An otherwise disagreeable movie, though.

    I once performed the Human Ground Experiment using a very large Tesla coil. It didn't work. :ahhh: I have a much smaller one that works just fine. I once grossed out an entire classroom and the teacher when I put a 4 foot fluorescent tube in my mouth and let a spark from a Tesla coil jump to a metal wand in my hand. The bulb lit up nicely, and with no lasting effects. :lol:

    Don't recall seeing D.B.'s Nikola ... but somehow yes, got the right tune there for the song ;-)

    Think that comes under a "don't do as I do, watch and learn" experiment lol ... oh it's nice to have some fun in life yes.

    One experiment I did try except I could not buy, because the store [not anticipating a billion sales] won't sell, the testing equipment ... had a large sheet of hmm ... "shiny silvery coloured stuff" on a wall ... looks like tinfoil but it's officially not ... great insulator though from the cold winds ... when I couldn't get the testing equipment was going to take it all down BUT in the meantime the super had to enter the apt for some reason and the look on his face was SO precious ... I keep it :-) I call it "artwork" ...

    And speaking of artwork ... have been trying again with the updated edition to follow a tutorial on Triax Rigging based on the older editions of D/S4.0 or thereabouts ... and it works! Have to poke around some for to find "what do they call that button now" ... but it works :-)

    Next up, hoping to rig something like a cat or dog ...

    Yes! We can triax rig the old 4 legged critters like the cat :-)
    We can meaning it is possible to. Can't share 'em of course.

    yeah but it is something to do while my test render prepares for the render. It is still processing the lights.

    I am still wondering why some renders take over night. I forgot to save my scene before rendering.

    Because of the additional Human Error Time (HET) added to all renders which is inversely proportional to the time since your last save. theoretically since if never saved the scene before rendering then the render time should be infinite but there is a reverse time variable added to the calculation to take into account this possibility known as the Serious Human Error Time (SHET). This is hard coded into all render engines under international statute.

    I read Bryce ALWAYS finishes a render if it starts one

    When is the issue :lol:

    Now now, remember that people have been using Bryce for nearly two decades, and some of those renders are almost finished.
