    no understanding the iray.  looks like sunburn except his arms.  is the default leo7 skin

    tee hee autofit g2f's silky pjs

    Too much blue, or not enough green, is there a headlight on the camera that needs turning off? Use the colour of the light from some emissive geometry to adjust skin tones, high K's are blue-er K's, say 10000K. Lower Ks are orangy-er K's, say 2900K or if you can[t adjust the Ks use the colour of a matte surface instead. eta make sure any "white point" setting is whatever Studio defailts to :0

     

    thanks.  will check out the K.
    i turned on the environment dome. is only light on. have camera headlamps set to never.

    complaint - 

    This iray thing driving me crazy.  loaded the recent Designer Bedroom.  it's dark in there. Leo iray skin  default looks ruddy red, the default iray shaders with the default dome, would think would look alright without going crazy. 

    i had the impression iray was point the camera and click make art button.  
    no shadows control. doesn't seem to be IDL.  
    the bedroom has big glass windows, but i don't see light diffusing in the room.
    can't hide walls or ceiling in the Designer Bedroom set. can't move the curtains. and i can't return it, used it to trigger the extra discounts.

    i had the impression optimized for iray sets would have all the emissive light whathaveyoos all ready set up.  

    so like i'm supposed to put 'lamps' in a finite space when the only shadow control is to move the 'lamps' more distant. any distance puts em outside the room.

    complainnnn grumble grumble grump.

    My aunt raised 5 kids.  One of her favorite responses when she got the complaint "I'm bored" from one of the restless horde was: "Being bored is your decision."

    The "1000 Islands" are in the St. Lawrence River along the northern border between the US and Canada east of Lake Ontario that drains to the ocean via the river.

    There's an interesting place called "Boldt Castle" on "Heart Island".  An unfinished 19th century castle now a tourist attraction.   I was there about 60 years ago with my parents.  They've worked on completing it somewhat.  I've got it on my bucket list to go back to see what's been done. http://www.boldtcastle.com/visitorinfo/

    I never dared tell my parents I was bored.  The response every time would be "I'll find something for you to do.", which was always worse than being bored!  laugh

    Non-complaint:  It's been exactly two months since I cancelled my DISH-TV.  I don't even have an antenna so all I get for TV is NetFlix and NetFlix DVD.  What I've noticed is an increase in my peace and quiet and lack of random noise in the background.  No commercials!  Nobody screaming "0% Financing", no "full story at 11", no drug hawkers trying to convince me that I should buy their product despite the over-clocked disclaimer that essentially says "taking this might make you dead".

    Occasionaly I feel that I need to catch up on news (although I don't know why) and I log into a website to see if the world has ended yet.  The static ads are an irritant but the articles are usually sufficient to allay my fears (or stoke them). However, when I click on a video, every freakin' one of them is preceded by a loud fast advertisement assaulting my calmness, and I'm thrust back into the screaming world of 0% financing.  I tend to believe that one of their purposes is to numb us to the news that will follow.

    But that said, since having abandoned DISH-TV I've discovered a whole new world of commercial free drama, mysteries, comedies, bad cartoons and old long dead shows, that I can search through to find something viewable.  Yes, many of them are pure crap.  But when I find a gem and especially a series of gems like "Doc Martin", "Vera", "Wallander", to name just a few I add it to NetFlix's "MyList" which has now grown long enough to last me through the winter.  Some of those shows were originally on the high price networks like HBO or STARS or SHOTIME.  A lot of them were on the BBC-America that I had to pay extra to DISH to get their 200+ selection.  The biggest advantage of this type of viewing is that you can watch the series in order, from the beginning, on demand if you have adequate Internet service.  I can go back and find old episodes of my favorite shows that I know I missed 20 years ago.  It's a virtual smorgasboard of TV.

    I'd had enough.  I couldn't afford $100/month so bye-bye DISH-TV.  I'm already paying for adequate Internet service so the extra cost of the combination of NetFlix and NetFlix-DVD is only about $20/month.  I save $80/month and I have peace and quiet in my home without continual blathering in the background.  The TV runs only when I am sitting in front of it and nobody is telling me to buy anything.  And when I tell you that I also listen to the Buffalo classical radio station "WNED" (via internet) http://tunein.com/radio/Classical-945-s21414/ that is essentially commercial free, you can understand that my brain has been de-commercialized and I didn't even go through any prolonged period of withdrawal symptoms. smiley

    ...yes

    I've been enjoying the peace and quiet for about 14 years now (though PO'd at YouTube forcing me to disable my ad blockers, don't go there very much these days).

    You pay 100$ a month for 500 channels of crap. Even ones I used to enjoy have gone "tabloid".  Then there was having to pay to watch adverts that were already paid for by the companies who put them up.

    I learned that lesson the hard way.  or was it just that the house needed repairs and my brother was at college or something like that.

    I thought my bed would make a great storage but it never turns out great.  Appparently I want to use my bed every night to do nothing special.

    My lease is nearly up on the Complaint Thread?  What'll we do without a Complaint Thread?

    Definite complaint:  I can't fix a slow draining kitchen sink.  And I can't repipe the T under the sink.  Leaks galore. 

    Plumber on the way, thank goodness.  That's one experiment I'll never try again.

    trying to set as defaultvalue in a table field. mebbe only works from forms.

    Look at the ALTER TABLE command.  If Access has that command.  There should be something for altering a column and setting a default value.
