You are welcome.  Quick question, is their any way to get at the other half a dozen or so mini-tutorials that I put on the old forum, or are those lost forever now?

Do you mean the updates to the Bryce tutorials I did last night? I only updated the new thread on this forum, I haven’t been to the old thread, if I can be of any help tho.

I do not know.  The tutorials I refer to were forum threads such as this where someone would ask a question and I would put forwards an answer in the form of a series of images and brief instructions associated with those images.  They lived on the old forum.  I would resurrect them if the old forum exists in some form or other that can be effectively searched.  Here is a list see if it rings any bells.

Making a control knob using anisotropic shading.
Curvature and texture baking.
Curvature and landscapes.
Fire and rainbow knurling materials projects.
Using images in heightmaps to create realistic surface displacement.
Creating a wandering non repeating cellular material.
Putting a large moon in the sky.
Northern light material effect.
How to make snow settle on objects.

That kind of thing.

David, the forums are accessible, but in read only format, so things like search don’t work so it’s a case of manually searching through to find them

However unfortunately the images don’t show up in the archinved forum, although they as still there. You will see just an HTML image tag.like this   postimages/image_1_3414701.jpg

If you take postimages/origimage_1_3414701.jpg and add it to http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/  you will then get http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/postimages/origimage_1_3414701.jpg  which then shows the image which you can then save to your PC.

A long winded way of doing things I know, and not at all ideal, but it is all we have at present.

Thanks Pam.  OK well, I’ll have a looksee.  I have a knack for dredging stuff out of websites.

I am hoping to use google’s search site feature, along these sort of lines…

site:forum.daz3d.com Making a control knob using anisotropic shading

but have not had any luck with the first one on the list, but I will persevere and who knows, we might get lucky

And we’re off!!

Good going, now there is just the matter of the images…

Is there a firefox plugin that works, redirects the old forum link and displays images?

Ian, we have had some success using site:forumarchive.daz3d.com instead of just site:forum.daz3d.com, with finding links that is, not about the images.

Ian, we have had some success using site:forumarchive.daz3d.com instead of just site:forum.daz3d.com

I was using the old domain as I figured it would yield more results, I will use the new domain when i have gone thru the list once and redo the search. The links I have posted are the updated ones from the initial search

You are very good at this.

You are very good at this.

Thanks, but only 4 out of 9 successful, using the forumarchive domain in the search yielded no results at all.

Be well

Only 4 i’m afraid, sorry.

Ian.

Ah well, back to doing it the hard way.

I guess so, I don’t know what else to try, until login and search is available on the old forum,
