    Pythagoras in 3D, though you don't have to do that - I was just explaining what a normal is. If for some reason you want to set a normal as real values, you can create a point with those values and then run it through a Normalise operation to get a guaranteed unit normal.

    Ugh.. morning coffee gave me indigestion.. Tums time.. :sick:

    Downloading Houdini to test on my laptop.. always wanted to dabble in VFX and I'm not getting younger.. I bet I could make some AMAZING album cover and track art! Apprentice is free, Indie is just $199.. quite affordable. We'll run Apprentice for a while and see how it goes.

    I wonder if a latte' with its milk would make stomach happy or not.. best wait. :blank:

    Wheeeeeee just b9ught new Dickies socks, should arrive next week! I bought the cheapie 12-pack last time and each pair has lasted about 2 weeks before getting holes.. :shut:

    Bank run soon! The question: Burger King or Taco Berr for lunch? :coolsmile:

    Isn't Harry Houdini a magician? Never heard of a software program called Houdini before.

    morning complaint: people bash landline phones. Why?? I have unlimited minutes for $30. I can call Canada and most countries in Europe for free. Cell phone charges $1.99 a minute for calls to most of Europe. Calls to Canada are 49 cents per minute. Or, I can pay $10 a month in addition to the $40 base fee for unlimited minutes to some countries.

    Don't get me started with the people bashing CDMA (Verizon/Sprint/U.S. Cellular).

    But I digress.

    Friday?!

    forgot it's Friday :lol:

    ...

    Kk doesn't love us anymore?

    snowbug never came back.


    i did a bunch of render setting tests in 3DE. should prolly do them all again with sss on a thing.

    then do a bunch of light/shadow setting tests.

    all in 4.6,, prolly won't be applicable to 4.7.

    I'd do some simple renderings myself, but I can't get Cinema 4D onto my laptop :blank:
    CD seems to be corrupted (Noticing some nasty discoloring on it) so can't launch the Installer nor get the files off the disc manually, and I can't just download the Trial and then input my serial since they only offer R16. I don't know if I can request a downloadable version or not, especially considering I'm three editions behind at this point bleh.

    I still got it on my desktop and always overheating older laptop, but my desktop is... Unreliable. Can go anywhere from 15 minutes to 15 hours before crashing. Always a roll of the dice.


    Leaves Vue and Zbrush I guess, if I can work up the motivation to bother launching either :lol:

    SideFX Houdini is a 3D application made SPECIFICALLY for visual effects for film and television. In some ways it's better at it than even 'Maya.. but it's more a tool for a technical director/tech VFX artist as it has a VERY different approach to setting up shots!

    Once I can do something other than a bouncing blob, I'll post it!

    Too lazy to go looking up to see about a replacement C4D bah. Would probably have to do a phonecall or something, can't be bothered with that haha...
    'sides which I only got like 9gigs of space left on my laptop and C4D on its own would take up about 4 or so of that, excluding adding in my hoard of render engines (Though I could just install only Indigo...) and my Projects folder is um.... Big :lol:


    Mmm pretty sure all (newly produced) computers are 64bit now :)


    In other news, it's very wet right now. Lots of raining. Calmed down a little bit now, but still coming down nice and steady. Been at it since yesterday late afternoon!

    BEWARE MAJOR RANT AHEAD BEWARE

    Cranky now. :shut:

    Dead stop at the office because I need a hardware guy. Hardware guy missing in action, hasn't returned email or texts. :shut:

    New hardware has some serious issues, I can identify them mostly but not being a EE I have no idea how to fix them. I do know it's going to involve re-laying-out the board.. :shut:

    Can't go home early because the boss asked me to wait until 4PM our time before giving up on the hardware dude.That's two and a half hours of sitting here, surfing the Web, not able to do anything productive. :shut:

    Emailed my agency rep with status so they know why I'm cranky. :shut:

    No. Windows 8.1 comes in both 64 bit and 32 bit varieties. My Asus tablet has a 64 bit processor but only 32 bit full windows 8.1. However, yours may be 64 bit. A similar model at Tiger Direct specifies Windows 8.1, 64 bit:

    Oh, I understand it. Just not at those prices. I grew up on welfare and most of my adult life haven't had the best of jobs (biggest exception was my time with COMDEX/Key3Media Events from 1995 to 2001). Anything that expensive I research well before I make the decision to buy, and did so even in those years.
