...indeed. It was the one which I used to run a comparison test between 3DL, Lux, and later Iray (shortly after Iray was introduced in the 4.8 beta). Back then I was just using the AoA advanced lights for the 3DL version IBL Master is a major improvement as is the original Skin Builder Pro (which I also didn't have back then).
...I still remember this scene:
I better be doing something more useful than searching for Doll designing software. Found something interesting but there is a free version and a paid version. The paid version lets me export obj file to a different program, but the dolls still have to be rerigged.
Just saying...
Morning. A balmy 90 degrees and sunny a little after 0900 under a big bright blue sky ;)
An astounding collection of hot weather wardrobes getting around leaving us locals looking overdressed and considerably less sunburned :)
Don’t think they can cancel matches cos of the TV rights, last night the temp hovered around 80 so Melbourne Park is going to be like an oven today :)
Think MS assumes all user actions are in error :)
Unusually this January the whole continent seems unremittingly hot, tourists can normally find somewhere cool to escape to while the north winds blow :)
...
Sure is hot. Hot hot hot. Been hot for a while, aircon not making much difference while a whole tar and cement city is radiating heat. Eventually some cool air will get sucked our way from the Southern Ocean but right now hot North wind is baking us ;0
I know about hot city homes. When I lived in Washington, DC I lived in one of those old late 1800s style three story brick rowhouses with a decorative wrought iron staircase to the "main" floor. Very typical of Washington, DC. Very similar to the image below (but I lived in a "slightly" less fashionable part of town, not on Capitol Hill) Our house was bought cheap and got much love and care over the years to fix minor problems (and we sold it for a bundle) but it had no insulation, the window casements were rotten, the roof was OK but was going to need work soon, and the mortar between the bricks was like sand (we almost lost the south wall one afternoon!
Only quick thinking to prop it up and a fat credit card to pay for emergency repointing saved it. 
But those bricks were like an oven in the summer. We had a big air-conditioner only in the bedroom and it barely kept it tolerable even late at night. In the winter, the wind came through the cracks in the plaster, and during horizontal rain the inside walls got wet. I was never so glad to find a bigger fool than I was to buy it from me for more money. 
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
It's an ancient Taoist trick to relax. You screan 'EFF' as loud as you can and leap up and down. Works good but ticks off the neighbors/ :-)
I'm not sure spewing phlem on them is politically correct. :-P
Not my day today, :-|
Woke up to discover cat had shoved my bathroom door partially open and pooped in the tub. 1/2 an hour to clean and sterilize. Cat marked for death, and I am not kidding. Then spilled hot alfredo sauce on my lap transferring chicken out of the air fryer. Oww oww oww oww oww, but cleaned off fast and used a cold can of sode as a cold pack so no harm except to my pride. But oww, amazed I didn't scream.
Other than thatm doing laundry and making a grocery list. Watching more Amazing Race as well, fun tims!

Going to bed early - 4:11am! Been a busy day and I'm looking forward to climbing into my jammies and sleeping.
Found 'Miniscule' on Hulu and it's queued up to watch tomorrow. Will be fixing a collard greens ans black ban cold salad as well. Need to order groceries, too. Will also finally hook up my aromatherapy dispenser! Niceeee and relaxing.
Snzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
...and I thought I was the "night owl" with all the experimenting I've been doing.
Pleasant dreams. Won't be turning in until I get the shelter glass to look like that slightly green tinted "safety glass". Fortunately 3DL is much faster than Iray.
My tablet screen is broken which makes it hard to use. It costs too much to fix it but I am trying to decide on its replacement
Physically based lighting is great for photoreal rendering, but it's crap for animation. I'm not aware o too many studios trying to use them as the per-frame render times are stupid, even with vast renderfarms. Is an issue...
guessing you too young to remember General Hospital soap opera. it was before the internet
had to get up to change the channel on the tv, all like 7 of them lol
sigh is it Friday yet?
i've never watched that newer battlestar galactica series.
yumma The Pocket Bakery Hardcover
this poster of Pink Floyd fans haz some serious wedgies
...yeah for stills and adverts it's nice and all (many car and appliance adverts use CGI instead of photos of the "real thing"). It is just too bloody resource demanding and therefore time consuming unless you have the big zlotys to afford a high end GPU (and these days that is an even more expensive venture what with cryptomining driving prices of GPU cards into the stratosphere).
It's no wonder that major studios still use CPU rendering (which is more accurate than GPU rendering) as it's simpler to just throw a wad of CPU cores and memory at the process than deal with the limitations of how much can fit in the VRAM of a GPU card. Until someone can develop a way to pool VRAM for rendering purposes it doesn't matter how many cards are on the board or blade Once the VRAM of just one card is exceeded the process crashes or dumps to the CPUs and all those stream processors/GPU cores are worthless.
Anyhow, I find myself enjoying this again having gone back to 3DL which is far more versatile when it comes to rendering with all sorts of effects and in different styles. Kind of like "coming home".
..considering each of the images are painted on their backs, that's their actual butts your seeing.
Oh boy!!!!!
I found a block of sharp cheddar I thought I lost - it had slid behind some jars in the fridge. I have cheese for today now!!!! Wheeeeeeee!!
Roasting potatoes, and have Thai red curry paste. Red curry taters, anyone????
'Miniscule' was fun, nice break between Amazing Race sessions.
Watching 'The Amazing Race' is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know it's a horrible thing and people will end up hurt, but you can't look away. I must be sick in the head...
I know very little about soap operas. I do not know who the current characters of the current soap operas are.
is it like cylon viper racing?
was back before the internet entertained us. news was on paper. it was primitive times
