You might just have given Barbult an idea. Truform does a really nice Merc Sprinter look-alike over at Rendo & would be able to reach the steering wheel fron the seat.
Regards,
Richard
Richard (wisely) restricts his driving to the securely mounted, mechanical, child-sized vehicles where you put in the quarter for a couple minutes of motion.
The Lifeguard
The Daz forum isn't what it used to be. User participation is way down. People give up after continually getting gateway errors. Richard has become bored with being a Daz forum administrator. How will he ever reach his next forum-post-count milestone if there are so few posts to moderate? In search of a more challenging occupation, and now that he has self-identified as an excellent swimmer, he is trying out for a position as beach lifeguard. He has been told that the jet ski is off limits to him, though.
(This is almost a "Where's Waldo", but I swear Richard is in this render. And there are lots of LowPis to fill the sand and surf. Richard needs someone to save, in case of accident.)
Ah, found me - at least I won't need to use the stairs if I need to rush to the rescue.
No wonder you are hard to see - the trouble is you are almost the same colour as those torpedo buoys hanging on the railings!
Now THAT mistake could make for an interesting recue ....
The lady in the deckchair on the right has been out in the sun too long, her face has melted off! No wonder the child is staring at her, he's probably traumatized. (or maybe be she applied a really excessive amount of sunscreen)
How else do you plan to get down? Are you going to jump off the upper deck?
Richard is a boy, but not a buoy. Is someone going to get confused?
That's just DOF for ya (and LowPi low resolution faces that you don't really want to look at in detail anyway).
he does blend in rather well. It was just one of those unplanned coincidences.
Sure, it's soft ground and not that far down for a cat.
I like to render bad ideas. The new Snake Bridge for UltraScenery2 was a perfect setting for such a thing.
Richard Haseltine: I know a thing or two about bad ideas. I could see this one coming a mile away.
This is awesome!
Ah, is that what those words meant.
Haha clearly!
That was before Richard learned to swim, out of sheer necessity, and later became a beach lifeguard. Water no longer terrifies him. Perhaps he and Jack should try this again. I'm not sure Jack would be willing, though.
Barbult, I am robbed of speech. I feel for Jack so much. I tangled with Simon over one toy Sunday and he 'nailed' my right fingertip so deeply he left part of his nail in it. I am still bleeding off and on. Gingers are vicious when crossed. And very pushy.
Neighborhood Watch-Cat
Richard Haseltine, self-appointed neighborhood watch-cat, has vowed to never let a big cat threaten the neighborhood. Lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards - he's ready to take them all on. And so far, nary a one has dared to enter his territory. But then, he hears a loud roar in the distance. He dons his snowsuit, mittens, boots and earmuffs to go out into the snow and check. Could a big cat be on the prowl? Richard prepares his ammunition as the biggest cat of them all - the SnowCat - rounds the corner and heads straight for him! Richard waits for it to get within striking range and lobs the first volley. Oh no, it has already swallowed a neighbor man, and he is flailing his arm and screaming for Richard's help to escape - isn't he??
(Look! Richard's pajamas took on new life as his snowsuit!)
It is a truth almost universally acknowledged that cats have pretty much no sense of relative scale.
A friend's cat can jump to the top of their entertainment center, and land accurately on a fairly narrow surface, with no problem. How can she do that, if she doesn't sense the scale of the item she is leaping onto? Or is it that she knows the absolute size, but not whether it is bigger or smaller than she is?
Yes, it's relative scale - "is this too big foer me to take on or not?" Perhaps also "Is this too small to be a threat requiring absolute annihilation?"
Hmm. You seem to be suffering from that very issue right now, in your confrontation with the SnowCat. That may explain a lot of the predicaments you find yourself in (i.e that I put you in), now that I think about it.
Mission Accomplished!
Richard Haseltine: Ha! I ducked and rolled with perfect precision, right under his giant body, just as he tried to hit me. His huge paws didn't even touch me. Look! He's running away, afraid of a fight. Mission Accomplished! I am an excellent evasionist!
It's too bad I couldn't help the neighbor escape, though. I hope he makes it out on his own.
Now I just need to get the snow out of my poor ears. Still, that definitely has the air of a James Bond sequence....
Yes, you have snow in your ears, because your earmuffs flew off and were crushed by the SnowCat treads. The earmuffs are over there near the tread on your right, flat as a pancake due to DS axis scaling.
A Pyrrhic victory, then.
I had to go look that one up.
If you have anymore winter adventures, I can get you a new set of earmuffs from my product library, so don't worry too much. Or perhaps a cozy knit cap would would be nice.
Ears ar vitally important to cats, both for sensing the world and for communicating. Hmm, maybe that was why the big cat didn't want to back down - it couldn't read my ears?
