When my sheets get cakey I pretty much figure it's time to wash them.
(we need more smileys. I needed a good "euwwww")
I want cake, but not if it costs my sheets getting cakey?
Early hearing aids were a bit impractical.
I found my blutooth keyboard.
was a huge cake disappointment. they were out of stock.
if it was out of stock why didn't their site say so? was there a run on cake?
it feels way hotter than 87F out, the weather site has to be wrong.
cake! the cake was a lie!
why do so many stonemason sets have white haze on it?
is it supposed to be a dream sequence?
SO SAD no cake. life been so disappointing lately.
Morning. Dark-hearted clouds rolling up on the pale winter sun shining without any hint of warm, I guess is too far away to make any difference so far today :)
awwwwww *hugs* No cake where I am right now either :).
If you mean misty renders distance haze is thought to add realism to large setups, makes a realistic depth map as well for extra defocussed photo realism. Haze tends toward blue here :)
...one of Mec4D's 80s birthday freebies.
Hey great render :)
...thanks, Yeah used a bit of depth haze in it as well. Trickier in Iray as you need to use volumetrics which really crush the render time.
For aome reason I don't understand the new generation of Mac Pro is around forty times faster with volumetrics than the older ones. the math part of the new Xeons is quicker I guess but stuff like that drives me crazy

That's probably in the lighting setup, not the set itself. It could be his idea of the big city...smog or haze from all the people breathing.

...yeah I have a first generation i7, still faster than my old duo core 1.6 GHz notebook
Nothing like the even the E-5 Haswell 8 core Xeons I am looking at though.
Odd that Cray is using 16 core AMD Opteron CPUs (non-hyperhtreading) in their latest supercomputer. nicknamed "Titan".
18,688 16 core Opteron CPUs for a total of 299008 processor cores.
18,688 Nvidia Tesla K20X GPU compute GPUs (6GB, PCI 2.0 x 16, 2340 CUDA cores ea) for a total of 46,645,248 CUDA cores
Physical Memory 693.5 TB (584 on the CPU Nodes + 109.5 on the Tesla GPU compute units)
Storage: 40 Petabytes (that's 40,000, terabytes)
Single floating point compute speed (peak) 20 Petaflops
Plus, a recirculation system that takes all the heat generated by that stuff and heats the offices with it!
Dana
Heat dissipation has always been the real technical feat for Crays.
…oh, forgot the price on the Cray Titan, only 93$ million.
Quite a bit more modest is the workstation concept I have been working up:
MB: : ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS SSI EEB Dual LGA 2011-3 socket, with 8 x 288 pin DDR4 slots (Quad Channel, maximum memory support 512 GB), and x4 PCI 3,0 x 16 dual width slots.
CPUs: Intel Dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 Haswell-EP 2.4 GHz 8 core 16 thread (total of 32 processor threads)
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series, 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM, 128GB (8 x 16GB) DDR4 2400 quad channel
GPUs: x4 EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN X 12GB 384-Bit 3,072 CUDA Cores for a total of 12,288 cores
SSD: (Boot) SAMSUNG 850 PRO MZ-7KE512BW 512GB SATA III SSD
SSD: (Library) Crucial MX200 CT1000MX200SSD1, 1TB SATA II SSD
HDDs: (storage & backup) Dual Western Digital WD Red Pro, 2 TB NAS HDD 7200RPM
PSU: Rosewill Hercules-1600, 1600W Dual 12 V rails
DVD: SAMSUNG SH-224FB/RSBSSATA x 24
Case: Zahlman GS 1200 Mid ATX with 5 fans (including two 200 MM fans one by the GPUS) with provision for additional units.
Aftermarket CPU coolers (2) – undecided yet
OS: MS Win7 Pro 196 GB memory support
Approximate cost, 8,850$ (C’mon Megabucks Lotto)



...early Monday non complaint:.
Sometimes it pays to stay up a little past one's bedtime.
Took advantage of the Genesis Super Flash Sale and purchased the Genesis Supersuit, Supersuit Hero Pack and Cape for the Supersuit for the paltry sum of 79¢. Would have actually paid nothing as I used my Monthly PC coupon and the cape was a PC item.
79¢ for over 77$ worth of content (and something I've actually been wanting), one of the best deals I've seen in a long time. More than makes up for missing using my coupons last month as well as tripling the 24$ invested in a 3 month membership.
Off to bed now,. See everyone later.
64 GB Ram seems to be a sweet spot, for what I do anyhow. Two E5's one the one bus will need some cooling, better off rackmounting equipment like that imo :)
The Starbucks in the mall gave me a treat receipt for a two fifty Grande drink after two. Not sure if it is done everywhere.
I did another draw :3
"Green Nargacuga" ^^
Had to re-upload the image like, three times before it finally 'stuck'. First two times it came up as a broken image :L
This is the normal Nargacuga.
They're like cat-bat-dragons :D
Ninja Dragguns. Very swift and speedy, not very big though. Their eyes don't always glow red like in the first two pics, dramatic as it might be. Their eyes only start glowing like that when they're really angry ^^
iz one of those days breathing is a bonus. yuck humidz.
at the day job today. prepping audit stuff. eyelids crashing.
Is there a way to convert outfits from genesis 3 to Genesis 2?
Blech, hope you feel better!!!
Awwww, thanks...
Hop0efully will be finished by November or sooner!
Happy belated birthday Leela!
Monday Complaints!
- It was already 78f when I woke up...
- ..which was at 5:45am, because..
- I had to sit outdoors for 2 hours to run a test, so I'm
- Sweaty and tired and crabby and it's barely past 10AM!!
However, I have some cold grapes, string cheese, and Powerade Zero, so I slowly but surely feel better.
