    I was so happy to see you active on the site again, Cath, both in the galleries and the forum. I missed you, and it was hard waiting for your return knowing what you were dealing with and not knowing how, or if I should even try, to reach out. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May the grief and struggles of the past months fade quickly, and may there be no further losses in your family for a long time to come.

    Lots of hugs,
    -Anita

    Regarding hair, if you have UHT (for Iray), it converts reasonably well to 3DL.

    Generally, if you want to spice up regular hair, applying some strandy map to Bump and/or Displacement can help a huge amount to make it look like fine hairs. You can also take something similar and make it a mask for hair color.

     

     

  • I am so sorry to learn you've had so much sadness happen, Catherine.  I sincerely hope the worst is behind you, and wish you the brightest of days ahead.

  • Thank you so much for your generosity.  I have been a fan since I saw you make a bowl (of lemons I think) many years ago and have remained so ever since.

    I am so sorry to hear about your brother.  My sister has lung cancer and it has metastasised to her bones (and elsewhere) and she is now just having palliative care, all teatment has stopped.  We are all just trying to enjoy as much time together as possible. However, it is wonderful to hear your sister is winning the battle.

     but good news for my sister , after heavy surgery and many chemotherapies she  win the battle with cancer and returning to normal . sadly as you know for my brother was too late 3 days after diagnose he pass away in sleep . The cancer of my brother and sister was not genetic but environmental cause and who knows if not Charnobyl as he was very much closer to the region on time of the explosion in the past , my sister was feed with too much dosage of hormones after menopause and doctor did not take serious her complaints about pain until she ask for second opinion and the horror started for her but she fight so hard and did not give up for a second , sadly she did not had the money to sue the doctor, but the biggest satisfaction for her was the winning battle with cancer that empowered her and I am so proud of her as I don;t wish my worst enemy to experience what she did mentally and physically , stuff like that you see in a movies just unreal .

    Thank you again for your generosity and I am so glad that your sister has won her battle.

    The disease is a very terrible one I lost my mother to ovarian cancer many years ago, the problem she had was she did not even know she had it till it was too late and she only found out when she went to the doctor wondering why she was gaining weight when she should not have.. 

    She went to hospital but the surgeons at the time tried to do something but it was too far advanced and nothing could be done..  Six months later she passed away I was there the night she died can tell you this it is something that one can never really get over..

  • Hi cath, it is truly wonderful to see you back! 

    The stroy, of the heartache with your brother and your sisters triumph over her cancer. I'm sure has touched and inspired many here. I only hope that when faced with such adversity, I might be able to face it with half the strength and courage you have shown.

    Even with all this, your first thoughts are to bless others, and making sure those who had missed out on your lovely freebies earlier were given a chance to get them, you are a very special and beutiful person! God bless you richly and all my hugs and prayers for you and yours, michael (:

    So sorry to hear of your loss, Cath.  It's great to hear that your sister is beating it!  My family lost a close family friend to cancer a little over a year ago.  It's a terrible thing to watch as it advances.  I wish only the best for you and your loved ones moving forward from this day!

    Thank you, it was like around 2000 I think , I had one of the first automatic 3D scanners and scanned the lemons and the bowl made in Zbrush , I still have the model somewhere :)

    I am so sorry to hear about your sister , that what happen to my brother doctors did not find nothing (they said ) until one day he collapsed and they discovered it everywhere else , I did not had a chance to say good bye , and that hurts mostly as he past away in sleep after 3 days of hospitalization but on the other hand he did not suffer ,  sending you a warm hugs and prayers for  your sister and your family ..stay blessed ! and strong !

    I am sorry to hear that, it took me 35 years to get over the death of my mother , I was 10 years old but later I started to see the good in the bad , this experiences shaped me in the positive way and I become the person my mother would be always proud of and I believe she is .

    Hi Cath, it is so very good to see you back, I would like to express my sympathy as to the suffering you and your family have experienced, and also a big thank you in showing us all how it is possible to turn the negatives in your life into positives.

      My father has been in the hospital since Dec 9 and as his lung cancer grows he has to be on higher and higher levels of oxygen to compensate and as it grows he gets weaker.  He will be going into a nursing home for the remainder of his time here as he has refused any type of treatment but cannot be at home, so for us it is just a waiting game, but it is very hard to see him struggle day after day just to sit up or eat as it drains the oxygen so fast. I hope I too can find some postive in this as you have done.

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,249

    HUGS honey.   I'm so glad your sister survived that horrible hell and she's one lucky sister to have you there.  Sad note about your brother's sudden passing.  It's been a year of loss for allot of us but all we can do is look to the future and hold those we have lost close to our hearts and remember the goodness and light they brough to us while here with us.  XOXO heart

    Welcome back *hugs* 

  • MEC4DMEC4D Posts: 5,249

    Thank you and I am sorry to hear about your father , your situation reminds me of my feather's 11 years ago , but even if you know you never can get prepared for what is next and there is no way to avoid the dark hours no matter what . My father has a long good life and his last 5 years was nothing but suffering for him and for us seeing him this even more so when the day arrived we was actually happy for him , we celebrated his death the way he celebrated his life , of course there was sadness but we did not talking about negativity , we shared good memories, funny stories and at the end of the day we even laughing as we want to remember the best time we had with him  and the best relief was that he did not suffer anymore in pain and finally was free . I could not say the same about my mother , my brother or 4 of my friends that pass away last year, they was to young , it was not their time to go and the sudden and unexpected loss was most painful and we did not agree with it for a moment .  If I ever land in God forbidden situation like that I will fight if there is a slightly hope but if not I wanna go in peace as soon as possible , in 1991 I had death experience and I am not afraid anymore , the only thing I am afraid of is pain , we associate death with pain and sadness but it does not affect the people we lost , the pain and sadness is what is left behind for us to deal with . Did I enter the other side ? I don;t know, maybe it was just trick of my brain or maybe not, but whatever it was I never experience something like that before  and the best part of it, I did  not want to come back it feels so warm like I was floating in zero gravity and the happiness and peace of aura around me was feeling like nothing before , I struggled for a moment thinking what to do , should I go forward or go back , I was aware of situation and I enjoyed it but then  suddenly  I decided that there is sill  so much things to do , I am not finish, I am still needed , I found purpose again and the moment of this I returned back , it changed my life for good , turning it 180 degree I become stronger and that was the best thing that could ever happen to me but realized it long after I succeeded with my goals , I believe that things happen for a reason , teach us a lesson , open another doors , give us a hind , but all we have to do is find the reason  , the answer may be not clear overnight, but with the time we will know . And I am not talking about dramatic events, it can be just little thing we ignore , but I pay attention if something is running not the way it should there is something on the way that will be better , all we have to do is trust our intuition and make the right choices in the right time. Sometimes the situations will cause us great pain, make us disappointed in life, lose our hope, feel abandoned  and unfair for a moment, but all we have to do is see the big picture after wards and keep our faith in good and better things to  come .. this is only one  way .. to move forward , we are visitors on this Earth just for a moment , we should do the best of it as much as possible so we can leave it in peace and carry our happiness and good memory to our next journey whatever it is .

    My commiserations on the loss of friends and family, Cath.  It is never easy to never have a loved one no longer available to us, for sharing a moment, a chat, a laugh, a hug, a kiss ... But there is good news with your sister - please give her a hug from me, and you take a virtual hug from me (my neice told me a few years back I was the 'best hugger')! smiley

  • MEC4DMEC4D Posts: 5,249

    There are hearts hidden in the smiley box here, though... let's get them out.

    I popped in a little late, but I too, understand the devastation cancer can cause.  I lost my best friend to it - she was only 44 years old.  What started us is that she had been laughing and joking in my kitchen and the following week she was gone.  While the shock was hard (we expected her to be around for another year or two), I still have that wonderful memory of the sunlight coming in, and she was actually looking good, wasn't hospitalized and had driven herself to my house.

    On the hopeful side, My mother in law had breast cancer, my brother in law had Hodgkins, and now my husband with non-Hodgkins lymphoma are all cancer survivors.  My coworker whom I expected to pass soon instead called me last Friday with a joyful exclamation of, "I'm still alive!" when she had been terminal.  She's looking forward to vacation in April.

    Thank you guys! sorry Dracorn to hear about your firend  , you don;t even realize how many people suffer around you but thank God there are still positive news and I am happy to hear your family members recovered, people take stuff more serious and pay attention , if not my sisters curiosity and less trust in Docs  I would be in deep hole right now, I could not image .. She is my sister, mother, role model and best friend we are very close since she take care of me  when my mother pass away when I was 10, she was 20
