    Observation: Space Stones is a big product.

    My guess is they're not optimized in terms of geometry count very well, perhaps?
    Or they're 'okay' but have a toooooooon of them. Maybe even multiple LOD versions of the same objects, but lumps them all into the same installer so there's bigger installer/zips to go around :lol:


    Is why I gave up trying to re-rig DIgi-I's T.rex and Biguana, too many polygons make smooth weighting more a hassle than an ease. -__-
    Polygons for everyone! It's especially bad when there's a ton of polygons in things you'll never really see or have a heavily subdivided cornea (Which doesn't tend to be rendered too well in most cases anyway - very scene and lighting dependent). While on that topic, I hated trying to use the Megalodon product because only my best computer (The crash-prone desktop) could load this model on its own without causing the entire viewport to slow to a crawl. It had that many polygons - most of them in places where a mere fraction of them would have been much better.

    Polygons for everyone indeed. x(

    Back in my Carrara 5 days, I could never get TransPoser to work for me, so I would either save out an obj file of a posed and/or dressed figure, or I would rig it in Carrara and weight paint it. This is how I animated Digital I's T-Rex for my video. All animated and rendered in Carrara 5. Composited and edited in Final Cut Pro.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taejI7yb2R0

    When I moved from Carrara to Cinema 4D I went ahead and got a plugin called InterPoserPro. Was VERY good at handling DAZ content, except for a few rare cases when morph packs or etc were provided in a D|S only format that the plugin couldn't read. Had a SubDragon pack on Rendo that IPP couldn't even see nor force-load because of the filetype. Now it seems the store products have taken a universal change to formats that IPP can't read. Or so it seems - I'm pretty sure IPP can't read DUF files but we'll see. Haven't reinstalled my plugins just yet so I might very well be jumping to conclusions. The new Runtime structure might cause it problems though. I'll have to give it a try later, all I got on my computer at the moment is the Dragon Turtle and 'The Constrictor' though.

    When I wanted to play with more advanced rigging options, I had to re-rig from scratch. For inexperienced me, this was a lot more tedious and frustrating than doing the same for a lower polygon character. Of course, I was doing everything by hand and knew nothing of all the tools and options it offered, so there's that too :smirk:


    I like Digi-I's rex. He's kind of cute, though that mouth/throat/tongue texture is awful :lol:

    ...still scary looking though.

    Is no one going to offer advice about my mysterious dishwasher-owning texter? :lol:

    I don't do texting. But when I get a phone call that I don't recognize, I normally just don't answer. sometimes I do and it's a wrong number. Now and then I get a call from someone wanting me to pick them up at a certain place. My phone number must be similar to a taxi company. That has persisted for several years. One time the person actually called again. Probably hit redial, thinking it would somehow be correct the second time. :smirk: But lately there have been a lot of robo-calls and other annoying unwanted calls. So I've taken to not answering when it's not familiar.

    A couple of times now the Caller ID said that I was calling me, it had my name and number. And a couple other times it said nobody was calling...the number was 000-000-0000. :-S

    ..have a flip phone. texting is totally out of the question for me using only 12 keys.

    ...bit of catching up to do. Was out with friends yesterday afternoon and evening watching the Final Four. then celebrating.

    The last time Wisconsin made it to the championship final was 74 years ago. America was 8 months away from entering WWI.

    Going to be a tough one after seeing the way Duke manhandled Sparty (Michigan State).

    ...yeah, still have a flaky keyboard (old Apple one) that sometimes doesn't echo characters to the system. Most often it is the bar. but "I"and "e" also flake out sometimes.

    I have a Samsung Alias 2. It is a flip type phone. But it has digital ink for the buttons. You can flip it open two ways, portrait or landscape. In landscape, the keys display a full QWERTY keyboard. tiny, though. I have texting turned off on my account. I was getting wrong number messages, and even some spam. Since I don't have a data plan, each one cost me.

    I guess texting would be usefull in an emergency during which you couldn't talk. Turn off the beep and text to 911. But I think that probably turning off beep mode makes a beep. :smirk:

    Members of my family like to text. I like them. My smartphone plan came with unlimited texting, so I learned to text.
    Members of my family live far away. They like fb. I like them, so I have a fb account. Everything in it is closed to everyone except friends and family.
    I don't like either one very much, but it helps me keep tabs on my family. :-S

    I received an interesting Easter text message at 8 am.

    "Hey I am the one with the dishwasher."

    I didn't recognize the phone number.
    I was left with something of a dilemma. A text message begs to be answered. But what should my answer be?

    So what?
    Great! I'm so happy for you!

    The message seems a bit confrontational - so maybe:

    Hey I could have a dishwasher too if I wanted one.

    Or maybe they were identifying themselves as the person with a dishwasher and not the one who was sadly sans dishwasher. As I said, it's something of a dilemma.
    In the end, I decided not responding was best. No use stirring up trouble on Easter.

    Channel Jimmy Stewart and check for a dishwasher size shallow grave out your rear window :lol:

    Can you use free wifi at your office instead of the cellular data access (3G/4G)?

    Not sure other than try to figure where the data leak went.

    I got but hopefully it can charge my tablet and phone at same time.

    Part of me wants to quit my job but I am getting steady hours which means good amount of money. If I quit, I would have negative income so I guess I will stay with my job. I think it is just me over thinking my weaknesses but underthinking my strengths. I do work six days a week. Boss lady would not give me lots of hours if I suck like an aquarium snail in an algae covered tank
