Morning. Cold and inky dark in the predawn outside my window, no sign of any Sun and the central heating is working overtime at our house so far today :)

Good morning! :coolsmile: Hope ot warms up there, but not that it gets Texas hot!!! It's still only 102F here.

The landlady emailed me and told me she bought 2 window A/C units in case the central A/C is hard to fix. Whew! No baked loach for dinner!

wancow, I have to say I thought this one was Jessica Biel. Even went so far as comparing pictures of her to the renders. Not definite but thought I'd mention my suspicion.

Thanks for starting this thread, it's good to have a central list of lookalikes to refer to.

DOH... I think you're right.

HI Marcuse :)
It's easy to get lost in the jargon. sorry .
CPU (Central Processing Unit) "Processor" .. this is the Brain of your computer.
RAM (Random Access Memory) "Memory" ... This is the "working" memory of your computer.
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) "Drive" ... this is the storage space for programs and working files.

Those are the main things which will make your computer work faster.
A "Quad" core CPU, has four processors, in a single CPU chip. so it's like four computer brains that can work independently.
A CPU Cooler,.. is normally a chunk of metal called a (heat sink) plus a fan, which sits directly on top of your CPU, and stops it from overheating.
The Processor in a computer gets warm as it's working, and the harder it works the hotter it can get.
CPU Coolers can also be a fan, plus a sealed set of pipes with a liquid inside them, which circulates to provide a cooling system.
Like a car radiator cools an engine.
Sometimes a large cooling system can make it difficult to get into the area where the RAM slot's are.
It depends on the layout of your Motherboard.
For example: I have a Liquid cooling system with a large set of cooling pipes and a fan, which needs to be removed to get into the RAM slots.
this means that I would need to disconnect the cooler from the top of the CPU where it's clamped onto, in order to change the RAM, or add more..

Hope that makes sense. :)

First off, I need to say "OUCH" to Aelfric. That sounds painful. It's so hot here that I'm growing additional appendages.
Second off, I need to say "YIKES" about the "sale ends" date. The e-mail did say 06/25. Who are we going to trust, those monkeys in the Newsletter department or DAZ_Cameron? It's okay.......I trust them more too. Here's the deal though, I think we can get them to extend the sale to the 29th if you all help me spread the buzz about the sale. Share the names of the DAZ Originals that you want to recommend to others in this thread. If we can generate enough excitement, they'll HAVE to extend the sale to the 29th. It's the PERFECT PLAN!!!

what I'm getting :
The Central District Subway and Foreign Kisses Central District Subway because I missed those at release and they look awesome..
http://www.daz3d.com/shop/the-central-district-subway/
http://www.daz3d.com/shop/foreign-kisses-central-district-subway/
and M4 Elite Texture: Stratton, he's the Elite texture I'm missing
http://www.daz3d.com/shop/m4-elite-texture-stratton/

Recommendations from the sale items:
Beowulf or Hardcore by Uzilite - m3 and m4 version are available and both could be used with Genesis with the legacy shapes if that tickles your azaleas.
The M3 versions are at a super price >

Hello all,

I just had a quick question. Is there a quicker way to relocate (or load for that matter) a figure in a scene? Basically if I have the Dream House loaded up and then I load up a Genesis figure to put in the house, the Genesis figure is loaded in its usual central spot, and thus has to be dragged all the way to whatever room its supposed to go in, which can be time consuming because you have to shift the camera around and fiddle a lot with the XYZ coords. Is there a way to just select a figure and then like click on a spot you want it to be?

Thanks for any help!

You may well be right, Cherokee, but that is not the whole story, is it? When we are talking about safety fences on the cliff, we are taking about memory use ADDITIONAL to that already made. When folks load a model, they also want to load a figure - or two, or three. Men fighting, women gossipping, playing with children or flashing the flesh. Animals maybe. And figures usually mean clothing. Figures and clothing - these gobble up resources at a fantastic rate. Take almost any published render and by far the greater memory use is in figures, clothing and immediate artefacts - a coach, car, aeroplane, gun and so on. For 99% of users, characters are central; they do not want their computers to be entirely taken up by scenery. Indeed, for most folks, models such as mine are relegated to the background; admired perhaps but then ignored save for setting the scene.
.
For artists such as myself, this poses ethical problems as well as practical ones. How much is too much? I am jealous for my work; I want to make it better and better, but I have to keep restraints in mind. I am tough-minded and am quite prepared to say, "If my model is too heavy on resources for your puny laptop, then delete something or move on to another model; mine is not for you." It has not happened yet, but if it did, it would make little difference to me - I am not paid save by the appreciation of that miniscule 1% who have the civility to say "Thank you." Nevertheless, that same imp who sits on my shoulder and criticises my work also criticises my relationships with others. I want others to like and to use what I make.
.
What then? Somewhere, somehow, one has to strike a balance; make a judgement. In this particular case, I think that I will complete just about everything and then take a look at the numbers. If they are reasonable and not TOO much above those of previous models such as the shopping centre or Buck House, then I will in all probability make a good job of the safety fences. One cannot say fairer than that.

leodesign, if you're in the States, people seem to be having great luck getting problems solved via the toll-free support number. 1(800)267-5170, either 8 to 5 or 9 to 5 Central time, can't remember. Otherwise, yes, it's an awful wait but there's really been that many people filing tickets. They've had a long uphill battle getting past all the problems that hit them.

You must have gotten the membership right before they worked out some of those glitches. I had the same situation but re-registered last week and things went well. Hope you can get it solved soon...er, human soon, not the one we usually hear about around here. Good luck!

Edit: Two or three more posts...I want to earn that little green box...

I think I would thrive on the isles. I'm the only Californian who likes rain.
Wisconsin winters are kinda tough. I'm a weather wimp, but at least I can adapt to cold. I shut down in the heat.
It'd be nice if we could all have the choice to be nomadic, go North in the summer...
I'd probably winter here in Calif. Our winters are incredibly mild, in the central valley.

But they've been too dry for most of the last 3 decades. And the past decade we've been getting a real warmup for part of January or February, which buds the trees out too early, and makes the weeds explode.

Hi tomahalk :)
It really Helps us to help you, if you mention what program you're using,
For example,..
Carrara has Particle emitters which can be adjusted using the particle editor, and controlled in the scene through the time-line sequencer, and by physical forces in the scene.
Bryce has a Particle emitter, but there is less ability to control the particle shape, timing, and motion of the particles,

Poser has a Particle effect plugin product.
Daz Studio has a "Particle FX" product

As you mention the Particle Emitter "Room" then I'll assume you're using Carrara.
There are options to control the "Age" of the particle emitter, in the bottom left hand section of the particle editor,.
you can set the overall Life of the particle, and in the central section, you can set the "From" and "To" time, in seconds.
normally this is set to start emitting particles at 00:00:00 , until ten seconds 00:10:00

(See Pic)
If you wanted an emitter to start emitting particles at two seconds, you would change the "From" time to 00:02:00
There is also an option to Pre- generate particles before the start of your animation, and you can add a time value here to specify how long before the start of your animation particles should be generated.
For example a moving "steam train" with a smoke trail may look strange if it only started emitting smoke only when your animation started .
Hope it helps :)

Peanuts it is :P. No, seriously, as always, I am willing to work out something, because I certainly don't have the time nor the patience to learn this myself ... lol. I don't work for free and I certainly never expect any one else to. Although I am eternally grateful to all of you who make freebies for us saps who have no aptitude for this. Realy, if you need something for your time, just PM me :D

Whoops! ... sorry, I was having a rant at the site software in general, not at you Aidana (^_^)n... you didn't see the previous edit of that message with a gigantic picture (which subsequently got sized down), as well as the multiple items in my cart that weren't worth a warning that I'd already purchased (fortunately pulling them out just at the last page before payment)... as well as the lack of a link in my inventory (after I'd manually searched for the right page X) to the product that I _had_ bought (because the contents of bundles are STILL not spelled out... X(.

Of course, I am happy with what I get, but in my mind, men's rings are fat and bulky. So if I were drawing this, I'd draw the snake fatter, with a larger, more defined head. Where as with a woman's ring, this is about the right shape. Just my opinion. You're the modeler, here. ...

Ok, I'll keep that in mind (^_^).

From a "realistic" pov, I guess exhibit B would be able to "clamp" the gem most securely (because the 'mouth' of each snake would hold the gem firmly in place), but exhibit C I think might be what the author was trying to get at with that sentence.

Hmmm ... I like how C wraps best. It's smoother, more fluid. I like all of the head directions ... lol. But I read and re-read he description again and noticed the central gem is a diamond, and the rubies go in the eyes. So maybe ... the heads on B would hold the diamond better while allowing us to see the eyes/rubies.

Should there be more twists in the "strap" of the ring do you think? I originally had 4 or 5 90deg twists along the bodies of the snakes, but that made the "strap" look a bit bulky, as well as needing many more segments in the bodies to smooth it out - of course, you normally wouldn't see that section of the ring when somebody is wearing it, buuuuut... ;-).

I wonder ... what would it look like if the two heads/mouths were closed, and they sat 'ear' to 'ear ' (parallel) with just enough room between them to hold the diamond. And then the 'outer' eyes would hold tiny rubies. Maybe that's why the author only mentioned two eyes ...

Thoughts?

'ear' to 'ear' o.O... like... er... this? (from the modelling point of view, there's a certain amount of randomness in exactly what orientation the heads end up being in, after I finish twisting the ring "strap" around... so I'm not expressing a preference either way <(^_^)).</p>

I post this here for posterity and to see if I can actully add an image to a post. As of 6:07am Central time on Saturday 09JUN12 Chohole was leading the post count war over Richard Haseltine by one post.

The snake head is nowhere near complete yet, because I was more curious about whether the idea for twisted Curves would actually work (which, fortunately, it does look like it's going to (^_^)>). The original door sausage is down the bottom, duplicated up to exhibit "A" in the top-right with the heads "sideways" and the tails untwisted. Exhibit "B" in the middle has the heads "up" and tails twisted slightly, and exhibit "C" in the lower-left has "sideways" heads (therefore one ruby eye each (^_^)h), and the tails twisted gently.

Hey, your further than I'd be ... lol. It's so cool seeing this from it's core elements and structure. Sort of like a rudimentary sketch before the live study. :D Totally cool!

Where as with a woman's ring, this is about the right shape. Just my opinion. You're the modeler, here. And again, it will be fairly discrete on the cover. It just needs to be there and may be used for promotional needs later where it will more clearly be seen.

Which way/one should I spend time cleaning up? (^/\^)... (you're going to say something inconvenient like 'all of them', aren't you? X).

Me? Say something like that? I feel like you don't even know me! ... Well, now that you mention it ...

No ... for real ... I will be ecstatic with one version. ;P Of course ... IF you really really like all of the designs ... then I can definitely find use for them. :D:D:D

The thought had occurred to us (the forum team, no idea about DAZ central).

Central Air went out. Got to 95° today in the house. 11pm and still 88°. I am melting. My buddy is supposed to show up sometime tomorrow to see what is wrong. Nice to have a friend that does HVAC.

Can we borrow him? Our central air is allegedly working, but it's consistently in the 80s in the room with the thermostat when it's 70s outside. When it's 85 outside, forget it.

If you live in the Kansas City area, sure, if not, well the Service Call Charge may be a little high.

The U.S.S. Von der Tann is the central location for the stories I am working on. She is a Renown class Armored Cruiser. The Renown class were emergency wartime construction (based on the Republic class cruiser design) during the last Federation-Kizinti war. The entire class was used during the final assaults on Kizinti defenses. Most were heavily damaged and/or destroyed by the end of the war. The Federation & Starfleet decided that it would be cheaper and more cost effective to build a new class of replacement cruisers (The Constitution Class) rather than repeat the Renown class.

The Renown class was faster and more maneuverable, but each ship cost 12% more to build and operate, had 40% less endurance in comparison to the Constitution class and there was very little in the way of space for science or crew comforts. The remaining units were towed to several different mothball sites & left to rot.

The story picks up with the Von der Tann and her sisters, along with a bunch of other "ash & trash" is hurriedly reactivated as the 3rd Klingon-Kizinti war breaks out. 8th Fleet is reactivated as 4th fleet is moved to the Klingon border. The 8th fleet is last in line for ships and personnel, hence the Renowns, Saladin block 1 class, and anything else Starfleet can get moving.

The command structure is a mish-mash of Starfleet, Federation Survey, UWP ground forces, and planetary reserve forces. The fleet assignment is simply to cover an open border with no multi-system polities that the Federation knows of.

What could possibly go wrong?
