  • When you want to create a beach scene with 100 women wearing bikinis and realize you only have 99 different bikinis...

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !! .... umm wait, what graphics card do you have?

    Okay, who robbed a bank to buy their NVidia VCA https://www.nvidia.com/object/visual-computing-appliance.html

    You're gonna need one for 100 scantily clad G8 models.  The eyelashes alone will need 4 Quadro cards all by themselves laugh

    You go to the mall to people watch to get ideas for renders, but bring ramen noodles and a bowl because you rather buy 3D food than real mall food.  You already know where to get boiling hot water and plastic fork for free to make and eat your ramen noodles.  

    You take a picture of the bowl and ramen noodles to prove it.

    You take pictures of what normal people think are odd in hopes to turn into a texture artist who uses her own photos.  (I hope my iPad does good enough photos to make textures as I do not own a “real” camera.)

    .."real" looking transit buses as well.  The only ones I can find are on pro sites or not in a format Daz can read. 

    I want a bus not yet another fancy bus stop.  If I want another bus stop, I want it to be one of those cheap ones, aka just a sign saying it is a bus stop stuck in a patch of worn down grass where riders have to stand and wait for the bus (with umbrellas if it is raining) and have no where to put their stuff down or sit on.

    edit; since there is no good bus, is there any good (reduce fare) taxis for the poor travelers to get to their hourly based jobs?

    edit2; or how about a bike?  Not a motorcycle but an old fashioned bike?

    You get a sign that says it is a bus stop?    Quite often round here we have to look to see if there are a few people hanging around and then assume that is where the bus will stop.

    ...this is what ours in Portland OR look like

    Thisis what we had In Milwaukee WI when I grew up.  The same style was also used for the old streetcars which read "Car Stop".

    That's pretty amazing, you only owning about 1% of what's available.

    You can see these still in cities

    That's because buses in Wales will actually stop for someone by the side of the road.  In the U.S. you have to stand there and flag them even when you're at a clearly marked stop as the drivers are likely to drive right past you if someone isn't gesturing wildly, since most stops service multiple bus routes.  Best bus stops I've seen were in Dublin, Ireland, where a lot of the signs have LED readouts showing what time the next bus will be there.  Here in Houston the signs just have a number that you can send a text to in order to see when the next bus will be actually be there versus what the schedule says.

    Usually run by tourist services with the top of the upper cab removed, though.  Even in places where double deckers are still commonly used, like the U.K., the modern versions are usually much sleeker and more streamlined.  Then a gain, DAZ only got it's first modern fire engine a year or so ago, which was an even stranger ommision.

    Yeah,   It was quite strange getting used to it though.  In England, except for in very rural places, there are proper stops for each sheduled stop. There are actually a few "real" stops along the route, but the one nearest us you just wait on the corner patiently for the bus to poodle along.

    A few years old now   but still fun, and does show what it's like

    None of the really old content you have on your wishlist ever goes on sale at a price reflective of its age.

    You bought a third Hard drive so Daz content can have it's own and you are calculating how much stuff you can get before you need a fourth drive

    Looks down at main computer.  Counts number of external hard drives currently hooked up:  7, including 2 6TBs and 2 4TBs,  Add the 2 3TB hard drives in the computer and the flash drive.  And the half dozen or so unattached drives that are either being used as archives or to move files to the other computer, and the pop-in "toaster".  Doesn't not include internal drives on any of the other four computers.  Estimated space currently being dedicated to DAZ/Poser/Vue runtimes and backup - 15TB.

    Definitely not enough, but the 8 external TB hard drives are now under $140.00... TIME TO UPGRADE!!!

    When you're in a shop and see a woman with really nice hair... And the first thing you think is that's a really good transmap.

    In the US, unless you are in NYC, Chicago, Boston or very few select metropolitan areas you want to avoid public transit like the plague. I've walked 12 miles to work in the same time the Lexington, Kentucky bus service could pick me up, drive me to all of their transfer points, and then finally to my busboy job. The price for fare was OK though.

    ...here in Portland OR I feel spoiled. as our transit is very good and is on a programme of service improvement which includes better frequency, longer service days, new buses (the entire fleet is "low floor" as well as our LRT cars and street trams), and opening new routes.  Several years ago they abolished fare zones, and last year they instituted a reduced fare for low income riders.  I'm on the seniors fare myself which is half the adult fare so I can get a full day ticket for only 2.50$ which is good on buses, LRT, a commuter rail line on the west side, and local street trams.

    You look to open source figures to modify for your own usage because the character you need is not made yet.

    Good news and Bad News!  Good news is I found a transit bus, but bad news is that it was at a site that closed down.  or at least it looks like a transit bus.

    That's Vanishing Point's EMT bus, still available in a number of formats at many stores, including Renderosity and HIvewire . Renderosity has a completely DAZ ready version with Iray textures.
