MEC4D's celebration ( with freebies ) [commercial]

SimonJM

A new rig?  Why do I think that there's now a whole raft-load of Cray YMPs havig to visit shrinks to deal with feelings of inadequacy?

I also half-expect to find out that you also played the instruments in that music, or do I find something you can't do, finally!!!

MEC4D

Thanks Richard, I have hard time coming back into modeling , lost touch for too long but I will be back very soon , in main time exercising .

Simon , I did not produced the music here , but I could if I had more time of course. It was royalty free track . 

Also I water cooled my rig and my twin Titans X SC so with 32C GPU temperatures while rendering I can get more from this rig than before . The temperatures of the total system go  down by 50 % and of course total silent without crazy heat .I can still overclock my CPU and GPU and still be bellow the normal , I think it was the best choice I ever made , I hunted the hydro kits for my Titans X for 8 months and finally was in stock for a while so I could grab it and transform my cards to Titan X SC Hybrid. Each card has now own water cooling system and maintenance free , each radiator is cooled by 2 very quiet fans , also installed backplates on my Titans to cool off the video memory better and one side panel fan cooling it down for faster GPU performance . Performance level and system fans are controlled by software , very energy efficient .

I suspect the only hydro kit for my laptop would be a paddle in the bath ...

MEC4D

You can easy build hydro kit for your laptop , I saw some videos on youtube lol  but mostly for the CPU processors .

This way I saved 4 hours of rendering time with my 11 scenes I rendered yesterday in just 4 and half hours and not 9h, if your system is slower or the scene is bigger it even more of course . , simple is beautiful !

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 .

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.

 

The same experience

Just saw this today and I need to write that I have had similar experience; I was in "heaven", in the middle of the beautiful field with so colorful flowers that in this world you can't find. It was sunset and suddenly I hear voice and it says that I had to go back because my time is not yet! I did not want to come back but I did it and I am not afraid death anymore only the pain.
Sometimes I see the future, what will happen, but I don't want it and I sent my wish to the creator and now they are not so clear anymore. I want to be free and I am free! We all are if we only open our eyes to see what we really are and how beautiful is our nature which is not separately of us

love you all

MEC4D

@MaARiTti the pain would be only for those that stay behind ..  and I hope we all meet one day in the next chapter of our journey , I always say to myself ..if you don't have what you like, you have to like what you have .. and if you still don't like it then do something and change it .. everyone is a Blacksmith of own life and future so, forge it while the iron is hot :) we got just 1 chance to do this in our lifetime ...  My experiences changed everything for better after all and helped me to struggle with the reality in new light .

Love , light  and peace 

Stay Blessed

MEC4D

Does anyone know if the 80s mullet for g2m and 80s gym set were ever made available again? I would gladly pay for these items if MEC4D would just let me throw money at her!

I just discovered this thread. I am so sorry for the loss of so many of your family and friends. I was actually away from Daz at the time of the original post and it was during this same time that both my parents passed which was really tough since I'm an only child who always lived no more than 10-20 minutes away from them and spoke to them daily and of course saw them on a regular basis so I understand what you went through and are probably still going through. 

It sounds like you had a Near Death Experience (NDE) which fascinates me because I've had similar experiences my whole life since in the crib as a baby, but during sleep, more of an Out of Body Experience (OBE) and this has altered my view of reality and starting at age 11, I went on a massive research hunt into the nature of reality, altered states of consciousness and eventually quantum physics. I would recommend reading quantum physicist Fred Alan Wolf, The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, all of Robert Monroe's books and books on NDEs by Raymond Moody. I know this is very OT, so feel free to PM me if you want more book recommendations (I have a whole library of amazing books on these topics!) or to discuss it. And oh, yeah, I love your products and own 23 of your 31 products and will get the rest when I can afford them!
