...my favourite Irish whiskeys are Paddy's and Powers.
As to Scots single malt whisky's, it's Talisker, Ardbeg, and Laprhoig (love the "peaty" stuff, but any single malt is fine as they are still far better than a blend).
As American whiskeys go, a well aged Rye is my favourite, particularly Minor Case straight rye which is aged in sherry casks.

The best thing about Whiskey or Whisky for me is that I never have any side effects or hang over even if I go over the line on a special occasions . It just don't mess up with my head at all , I just get sleepy at the end lol
As much as I like either, you are luckier than I as I have found that certain whisk(e)ys give me an immediate piercing headache within 20 seconds of the first sip so for the past 20 or 30 years I have usually avoided drinking any.
Being from Tennessee, I guess you could guess mine was Jack D.
Although I actually prefer to sip a little Jose Cuervo Especial over ice with a little lime juice.
Sounds like the problem I had with alcohol before I found out I had diabetes and got it under control. I barely drink at all these days, maybe once every couple of months.
Welcome to the club TJohn from the land of my favorite buzz lol , my grandpa had one shot everyday until 99 years old , that was his secret , and very sharp until the end .
As we sipping here our virtual Whisk(e)y I was working/relaxing on my books for the bedroom , not textured yet just simple shaders , I will do the individual covers at the end .
Each book have modeled outside side pagesas well and I spent hours doing it as I am learning on my way , overdoing it again as usual , but I love the details what was around 1MB so less than actual displacement
My hubby said , why you put whiskey next to Bible in the render, I said it is not a Bible, it is a manual for D|S lol , he was thinking it was the Book of Genesis with the story of Creation , I said.. right, you hear the bells, but you didn't know which church !
on this funny note here some simple previews as I am signing off for tonight , will catch up in the morning as I will working on the walls / fireplace / chairs/carpets/plants/and other props
...to me, Tequila smells like paint thinner. I could never drink it straight, only in a Margarita.
My preference: Southern Comfort ... not really Whisky, I know.
GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURL. Your amazing but then we already knew that. Very nice works there. XO
Hi Cath, I'm loving your bed. It seems to be super confortable
Me personally think that vertical posts are too square. If it was mine I would ask a carpenter to make some bevels on their angles.
Many thanks for this freebie; Eager to test it
Yeah, not my taste and any alcohol mixed with stuff give me adverse effect the day after .
As long it give you some comfort , that's all what matter
Thanks Richard , I never think this way about myself , I am just excited about stuff hopping to plant some seed of inspiration
There is some stuff I gonna edit on the vertical posts anyway, the first idea was to make it all sharp straight cut, but after I added some panels to the other elements it just scream at me for days ( the elements between ), I will see if I like the bevels on the corners , personally not big fan of this kind of style especially if there will be a different colors beside wood , and may trigger issue with the other parts that will have to be edited to match better , we see how it works out in the process. Thanks for your feedback
Hello, here some first prototype of the room area , BTW before I forget the My store at DAZ is at 40-58% off
I like the iray fog environment it give a nice atmosphere for the illustration , never used it before
I used the iray sun for the 2 other images , now I am wondering how it gonna looks in a more modern style shaders .
one may need to plan to do some steamy renders in that room with my DAZ hotties
probably won't be able to share them here though
The forum compress the render too much, it was crispy you could see each hair on the carpet .
Yes Wendy you can plan already, I need to make some sit area on the right side and some closet on the back and of course I realized there where no doors in this room lol but it is just a prototype , now I will do the clean version of the room since this one was all made from a single cube , I just want. to see how the light works out
no doors is a DAZ PA standard artistic choice though
LOL for real ?
I was thinking in the future I can add some module to next room, that when I realized , there was no doors out , well this is my first this kind of work so I guess am excused
if you have issue with not enough light in a room, the best thing is to increase the disc size of the sun , iray sun enviorment is empty with a little of global illumination so there is nothing to reflect the sun light to support better indoor scenes lighting, increasing the sun disk will provide the extra GI resulting in quicker and less noisy indoor renders plus the Fstop under Tone Mapping need to be adjusted at last to 3
Plenty of rooms in the store without doors, or there are doors but they don't open
It feels claustrophobic , that why I will use a prop doors , just in case you want to open it to the next time freebie lol
You see I celebrate in September 22 years of my 3D work, who knows what else is coming
rendered some pano using Canvases , so much better quality than just regular render, preparing to making sitting corner, closet , wall light fixture and THE DOORS
I may be done. by the weekend with this set
just saw your VR om Facebook
Thanks Wendy, total different look right ? in place of 10 renders
for other here is the link to the VR on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mec4d/posts/3701414229869809
It looks great!
I guess you climbed thru the window to make the VR
Beam me in, Scotty!
I teleported myself inside, the windows don't open
, talking about that, it was a pain to make the test surface materials inside the mesh , the poly was selected in wrong places , outside the mesh no problem
Very beautiful bed room, I like the Lord of the Rings theme in the promo shots (: Great to see you have gotten your computer running again.
that's a gorgeous room. wow...
Thank you , Ferdibrand on retirement lol my "old" computer is gone, had to build new one but so much better now, I guess storring PC without running for a long time not so good idea , I pay the price
Thank you, happy you like it
I just heard that new Quadro cards are coming with 48GB VRAM and Titan X , but each will have no more Cuda cores than the 3090 , so nothing there to wait for . Quadro and Titan X works just at the same speed in rendering and the price difference gonna be huge for the extra memory and the increased speed , I wonder what next in 4 years, 6 slots cards?
...one of the features the Titan and Quadro series offer is they can be set ot TCC (Tesla Compute Cluster) mode which bypasses Windows WDDM while consumer cards do not have this function.
