I wish all programs had incremental or auto saves. 

Real-life is very ugly right now.

Me too.  :(  And I agree on real life, too.

I’m sorry to hear that, Anne.

My life isn’t too bad, I just find myself having little to say.  The main problem is that I’m not doing as much with 3D as I used to so my conversation is dropping!

Working on that though!

Not sure if this is the right place, but I feel like sharing what I’ve learned so far from you wonderful folks!  Thank you so much for your patience and advice.  Hopefully more will follow!  Created in D/S, postwork done in Photoshop, layout done in ComicLife 2.

Looking good. I use both programs to put my pages together as well. Figures are arranged in Poser 9 and then the scenes are rendered in Carrara 8.

So you prefer to use Poser for your arrangement, that’s interesting since you could use Carrara directly.  I actually am not a massive fan of posing within Carrara either, but have never used multiple platforms.  It’s something that I keep wanting to do but I get lazy and once I’ve got my stuff set up I just render in whatever I’ve done that in!

I may switch entirely to Carrara. I just find it easier at the present time to do the figures in Poser. Maybe if I did the figures in Carrara to start with then when I import them the conforming figures wouldn’t forget which figure they’re supposed to conform to. LOL

Down down, dobee dobee down. Got time to play and Fun in my Soul (for a change) and nobody will play with the Jade today.

playing with yourself?

Hi everyone…I haven’t been active much in this thread (have lurked occasionally)...but since there’s been a lull in the conversation…

I’m sorry to hear about Real Life, AtticAnne and jerriecan… Mine is currently a mix of the good and the bad. I’m thankful that the bad is just financial stuff and general stress…certainly could be worse. As far as 3D is concerned, I’m suddenly finding myself without much inspiration…but I think that will correct itself once I install a few new things. Of course, I’ve been holding off on that because of DIM. I’ll probably give DS a rest for a few days (which would be my longest break yet) and play in Bryce instead.

Your render thread has been quiet for a while, Jaderail…have you been working behind the scenes, or are you busy with other things?

Hope everyone is well today.

Hi Scott Nice to see ya here. Crap happens to all of us and I’m sorry you got problems too. But it happens to us all sometimes. I’m setting here with a FRESH clean never touched DS4.5 install because I thought DIM was gonna be mine too. But nope, I gotta wait it seems. So that slowed my rendering down. I sorta jumped the gun I guess.
I am busy working behind the scenes though. I have work going on for three render projects and two different contests (I still have my trusty ol DS3A and all it’s content). I’m fighting UV mapping on some food props that will be Free items (someday) and playing just a bit at writing for an animation I have planned for when I get my MONSTER PC this summer. So right now much less posting renders and more testing on my PC to get things to work as I want them to.

P.S. Conga Rats I know about that other thing. Welcome to the nutty.

Thank you! The “other thing” seems to have gone into effect today (is this like Fight Club…we’re not supposed to talk about it?) and I just got the DIM invitation too, so I’m a happy camper right now.

I got the DIM invitation, I don’t care about it!

This is a lot like Fight Club, I’m so crap that even if I tried to shoot myself I’d miss!
