    Nicely done, pretty mind bending, e.g. the smoke surprise  Nice music, also.

    yes it did.. the outback of Australia is red desert and when conditions are right ( like the recent cyclone TC Narelle in Western Aus ) it stirs up the red sands creating this red dust storm. yes

    Texas is a big state. El Paso, on its westernmost tip, is closer to the Pacific Coast than it is to the state’s eastern border with Louisiana.  "The sun is riz, the sun is set, and here I am in Texas yet." 

    But ... Australia is approximately the size of the entire continental United States, dwarfing Texas.

    surprise

    Again, Australia outdoes Texas: "Texas is home to over 80 species of mosquitoes"   "Australia is home to over 30,000 species of flies"

    But our mosquitos have something your flies may not have: cloaking devices.  I'll see a mosquito and grab something to swat it, and it just disappears, like a Romulan warbird.  For a while, until it thinks I'm an unsuspecting target again ... frown

    surprise  On a birding trip to Australia, my wife bought an anti-fly "cork hat".  Doesn't seem much of a match for that critter.

    Yes, my wife said they are going for moisture, while our mosquitos are going for blood.   Hot sauce is considered a defense (see commercial below)

    She also corrected me, she did not buy the "cork hat", just looked at one and thought it would not do any good.

    Just tried rendering a scene in Carrara with Octane and it's being stubborn with the emitters. Anyone else run into this? Might need to dig into those settings again.

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,941

    I don't use or have octane, so I can't help out.. soz sad

    I don't use path tracing because as I do animations it's too slow so use Direct lighting, the Denoiser, texture instead of blackbody and slide the sampling rate right up 

    anything else is fireflies galore

    I recently got an email from Medicare, the US government health care insurance system.  It said I had a new statement, and to log in to read it.  They offered FOUR ways to log in, none of which let me log in without providing photos of my mother's birth certificate (kidding, but not by much ...) .  I had been to their site many times before, but they had "updated" their system, so my old username/password did not work.  I eventually got in, but these "Security updates" are a pain.

    I keep forgetting which cat I used in the random sentence I use on many sites including Apple and Microsoft 

  • Steve KSteve K Posts: 3,492

    I have a big folder with lots of old website usernames and passwords.  Most ot the websites are gone or reorganized.  Many in my file say "Password Standard" meaning my wife's name, five letters. The when I had to update the password for some reason, I added a "2" at the end of her name, clever huh?  Times were simpler back then, we did not have to have "letters, numbers, special characters, Klingon words, the last 4 digits in Pi" etc.   And yes, I use Google's password manager now, but it seems to miss some sites.

    That does not happen to me, I think I must be spending too much here since the discounts got really steep, 90% +/-.  surprise

    I did the lyrics of the songs based on the age old argument downunder 'are they potato scallops or potato cakes'

    then used Gemini to create my band ( the Scallop Rockers ) in an Aussie pub and then used AIMusic gen to create the video..

    the whole process took around one hour. surprise
