     Morning. Glowy white river fog - or very low flying clouds  - hanging on soft-lit but disembodied gold and brown treetops waving at - or drowning in ? -  the overflowing sky a while after dawn today :)

    Whenever you say Morning, I feel like it is time to go to bed.

    Is it true that Arizona heat is different from NC heat?  NC is humid and hot, but Arizona is hot with no humidity?  Is it true Wisconsin does not have the humidity nor the heat?  I never lived there long but cannot remember a thing. I think Washington (state) is cold and humid!

    What does humidity and cold do when they combine?  I know heat and humidity makes it feel hotter.

    I don't know the specifics of the average temperature and humidity of all those places but the direction of heat flow does depend on the humidity.  "Heat" is a measure of the average random jittery motion of molecules of a substance.  Heat flows from high to low.  The more molecules in a substance, the more likely it is to convey its motion(i.e. its heat) to things that it touches.  Water molecules in the humid air help transfer heat better than dry air because wet air is denser than dry air. 

     If the air is humid and higher than skin temperature then the heat is more likely to flow into the skin than if it is dry.  Similarly if the air is humid and the temperature of the air is lower than your skin the heat is more likely to flow out of your skin into the water in the air and make you feel colder than dry air would.  Also, humid air already has a lot of water in it so your sweat is not as likely to evaporate into the humid air.  Evaporation is a cooling process (because water molecules take energy from your body to jump into the air) so if you can't sweat you don't cool as fast as you do in dry air.

    Also, in wildly differing places like at the bottom of Death Valley vs the top of some tall mountain, the air could be dry at both places and you might register the same temperature on a thermometer but the frequency of the light in the high place would have more energy in the UV range and you might feel warmer, you certainly would get a sunburn faster on top of the mountain.  i.e. your "perception" of heat is different as well as the actual effect that the heat of the air has on specific materials (i.e. thermometer vs skin) differs.

    So, to summarize, ...  It's complex. frown But basicly heat flows faster if the air is humid.  If the heat flows into your skin you feel hot, if it flows out of your skin you feel cold.  If you can't sweat you feel hot. indecision  If you run naked on top of even a cold mountain you sunburn all over, really quickly. no

    Note:  I believe I read somewhere that the nerves in your skin that measure hot and cold are the same for both feelings.  They detect and quantify the "direction" of the flow.  So, if the flow of heat is into the skin your brain says "hot", if out it says "cold". surprise  (However, I think I also read that recent research disproves that idea)

    It's also, for nerds, interesting to note that "heat" is not a property of a substance it is an "emergent" quality.  Any individual molecule is neither hot nor cold.  The concept of "heat" emerges when quantifying the average behavior of a collection of molecules.

    Reminds me of the hydra from Dragon's Dogma almost :)

    Shame it's DUFF / D|S only. Had to pass by several things this week because they looked so nice, but then it's marked as D|S4 only....   v_v

    Sure I could buy them anyway then have DS export them out, but my experience with The Constrictor made me feel such a process just isn't worth it, unless I'm prepared to re-rig it myself and of course, lose out on things like Morphs. Though InterPoser Pro can make morphs, but I've had issues with the process in the past - can't remember what the problem was now though so may give it another shot at some point. Needing to re-rig remains a complaint either way however.

    looks like the artist may have based it on the game one.

    i dont see poser companion files with it.  collada export makes a mess. losing weightmaps etc.

    i want to use hydra in carrara, will take a bit of conversion work.  the erc are iffy, havent figured out why some work and some dont.  i imported the millenium subdragon into daz studio, was ds 4.8, the erc morphs dont work, haz ta dial up each body part.

    sad theres no vray plugin.  tho the octane looks nice, too pricy for me right now. mebbe next year.

    so i guess the new daz 'general' figure format dont work in c4d?

     

    have you tried the fbx export in constrictor?  curious how it would work.  Wendy might know a wayenlightened
    whats the time in Australia

     

    doh, i have the constrictor. lol.   only rendered it in ds tho

    Yeah, I don't see Poser files for most of the cool/interesting critters I find on the Store. (

    A few pages back I showed my adventures with exporting The Constrictor. None of them ended very well.  Collada, FBX, Poser cr2... They all ended in a mess - the rigging/weighting destroyed, and in the first two cases morphs are of course lost entirely.  I don't know if there's any alternative method to do this, but "Morphs" as we know them here in the Poser/DS community aren't so simple in Cinema 4D - the easiest and most direct method is restricted to the Studio edition of the program which I do not have. If there's a way to mimic that sort of thing, I'm not aware of it.

     

     

    Neither D|S's  "Duff" format nor Poser anything works in Cinema 4D. At least not natively.  I needed to use a plugin called Inter Poser Pro to load it, and even when it was still being developed there was some Poser things it didn't handle very well. The author has long since (As in, years ago) left the development scene and has no plans to return anytime soon if ever,  so messing with it to support the DUFF format isn't going to happen. Far as I know, it's also the only Poser loader plugin for Cinema around too.

    I think I was overanalyzing the chart.
    It looks like it's saying that 110 over 50 would be low.
    110 over 70 would be normal.
    And 110 over 110 would be high.
    But 110 over 110 would swiftly become 0 over 0, so I think
    the chart isn't meant to be read the way I was trying to read it.
