    So of course I have to link this one here: http://www.mattblodgett.com/2015/01/but-where-do-people-work-in-this-office.html

    Yeah, where the **** do they work in those offices, like seriously?


    ...for a good part of my 18 years tenure at my former employer I worked in a non climate controlled warehouse. Try entering data or setting up spreadsheets and composing correspondence/memos while it's 30° - 35° and you naturally can't wear gloves.

    In the old place, our lunch/breakroom actually had a stove in addition to the normal nukers and fridge (almost not needed during the winter as it was so cold in the warehouse you could keep your lunch in your desk drawer), as well as a telly. It was also nice and warm there during the winter. The stove was a nice touch for I could bring soups, pizza, as well as other food I made at home, and heat it up "properly". When the company moved out to the burbs. the lunch room was smaller, with only had the nukers and fridge and was almost as chilly as the warehouse.

    The old location was also right in the city where there were numerous restaurants one and foodie carts one could walk to. After the move you needed a car to get to the nearest eateries most of which were crappy fast food joints like MickyD's, Burger Sling, and Toxic Hell.

    Hey! I like Burger King!

    And you could have gotten inexpensive gloves and cut the fingertips off. If Leslie West could play guitar that way, you could type that way. :)

    Dana
    ...tried that, but the fingers would still go numb and stiff. As I mention I have poor circulation on top of arthritis so extremities like fingers and toes are the first to suffer in the cold. Even with full thermal lined gloves when outside, the cold gets to the fingers and hands quickly. Only thermal ski mittens work for me.

    Don't do any fast food joints anymore, but Burger King was the first I quit going to as just about every time I went there, they kept getting my order wrong when I would tell them "No Mayonnaise" or "Whopper sauce" as I am sensitive to egg yolks.

    ...and it wasn't just the same one either (a real pain when making a stop while on the road to find the mistake after we drove off).

    ...so much for "Have It Your Way"

    Sick to death of these conditional sales.
    Stop.
    Just stop.
    Now.
    Please.
    Not buying anything you put a condition on.
    I don't put conditions on unconditional love.
    Quit putting conditions on 3 dimensional socks.

    Really.

    Stop.

    I have a Parakeet at home. It never learned to talk. It just squawks into a mirror. It's blue, unlike most of the wild ones in Australia, which are green. I have a cat who is on a diet. She's a convicted thief of pork chops. That means I have a very hungry cat, a very nervous bird, and two goldfish that are too dumb to know what a cat is. :lol:

    ...Carrara is great for scenery, but not so great when it comes to Genesis/G2. I keep getting serious materials issues when importing my Genesis/G2 characters into scenes. Like the skin being all white or all black, eyes having no details, and the transmaps for eyelashes rendering as a solid shape. Rebuilding the character in Carrara is no good because not all the morphs I use are available since Carrara uses the Poser runtime.

    Are you trying to load Genesis/G2 in Carrara from the Poser runtime instead of from Smart Content?

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 42,162
    edited January 2015

    ...no, I'm importing my .duf character presets.

    Don't use Smart Content since a good portion of my library/runtimes was installed with the old .exe installers as I didn't have a stable connection to use the DIM at the time. Also for some reason when they switched databases, a lot of content no longer shows up save for the recent items I installed. Tried re-importing from the old database but no dice which means in order to get Smart Content working right I would have to uninstall and reinstall just about everything which in turn means losing a lot of original Poser files as apparently a lot of older Poser content is being updated to DSON only.

    You don't have to uninstall and reinstall, forget about the old database and just re-import metadata. I'm just confused by your referring to the Poser runtimes in relation to Genesis/G2, since none of that stuff is there.

    ...well, historically, other than the "Native Content", Carrara used the Poser Runtime setup, not the Daz Content one. The character presets I'm having difficulties with in Carrara are custom ones I created and saved in Daz 4.7. The geometry imports OK but the shaders are all screwed up and the proportions as well as the scaling appear to be a bit "off". Not sure if it has to do with DSON or what. I spent a lot of time building these characters and don't wish to rebuild them from scratch all over again particularly because I cannot find some of the morphs and skins in Carrara that I used in Daz.

    I never remember having these kinds of issues back in the 6.1 days even importing full scene subsets over as back then Carrara seemed to play nicer with Daz. Studio than it does now.

    I'm confused -- I didn't think Carrara before 8.5 could read ANY DAZ Studio formats, and scene subsets weren't part of DS in the Carrara 6 era.

    KK, have you read through this? I don't understand it as I have never used Carrara (I bought it, but haven't installed it). Maybe this would be helpful info.

    Perhaps you need the peg leg and to go aaaar matey a lot before the talking thing works on the parrot. Can't really imagine walking around with a shoulder mounted parrot :lol:
