been playing with an ibl set all week

want vivid richer colors, deeper contrast. touchable.

testing a conclusion can't achieve noiseless renders with jpg based texture maps. even with a min shade of 0.

what other experiments to try?

beyond photo real, want it to look like someone is sitting in my monitor and breathing. trying to escape the parallel universe.

Whacking head on desk already.
Double layer Poser dynamics are hard to get the right settings.....
Got to finish it so I can send it to my render Angel.

is a still life still a still life, if there a cat in it?

I was supposed to be hurricane Erika, but it fizzled out before it made it here. lol

And OUCH! That is a clutzy day.

were the greek muses all ladies?
what about buff male muses for female clients?

furies were all ladies, iirc

banshies?

Not only were all nine muses daughters, but in depictions it seems important to emphasize this with an almost universal wardrobe malfunction.

Go to wikipedia article on muses and look at the pictures like this and this one

(Whew - took me a while to figure out how to link that)

those wiki images ... a-musing ... tee hee

was gonna bring Katie to work today. running too late this morning. today and tmorrow carrara practice days.

http://dragcave.net/code/XrKJ1

Was going to ask what you're doing with Katie.
I have her taking a walk with Ritchie in Fober's hills. If I ever get it far enough to do a render.
Looking for a pair of glasses for her. She looks like one of my kidhood friends, that's a long time ago, and the friend was a redhead, with almost the same as Kate's hair. Got one pair of glasses but not the right style.
"Ritchie" is from Color Curvature's M4/K4 mixer, Nickolas morph.

i posted my Katie project wip a page back

Caturday morning. gorgeous day out. neighbors with vegetable gardens sharing stuff. gave me home grown zucchini, tomatoes, Kentucky pole green beans fresh picked off the vine.

freakin out a bit. no way i'm dumping canned cream of mushroom soup on fresh grown veggies. thaz crazy. do they even read the sodium content? my feet are swollen just thinkin about it.

You're making me hungry talking about the fresh veggies.

A good recipe for fresh green beans. Coat with olive oil and add black pepper and sea salt to taste. Spread on cookie sheet and bake until tender. I think it was a 350 oven.

And this is the best way to use zucchini, imho http://www.food.com/recipe/zucchini-mock-apple-pie-69270

yumma. gonna bake cookie sheet green beans right now! thank you!

y'know snacking on raw green beans is pretty tasty actually and has the lil crunch, not quite potato chips. lol, bubbies will eat potato chips, they won't eat green beans. they lookin at me like i betrayed them. mebbe the squirrels will eat em.

gonna try modeling half a torso today. should prolly start with female, i can look in a mirror for reference lol

and feeling a surge of Vila love. haven't rendered her in many a moon.

This is my day to be an idiot and I'm taking advantage of it. I have four violins. One maybe playable, but not expensive. Another needs work, lots of it. Two are "Harvey Wallhanger", to go with a wall clock. Looks pretty good. Today, ordered a viola, and the only string i play is a guitar, of which I have nine. Didn't spend a lot for the viola either, another wallhanger.
Two walls are going to be filled with instruments. Also have a trombone, cornet, teardrop ukelele. Don't have any way to hang the accordion, so it stays in the case. And I still haven't spent a lot of money, I look for the old and discarded. For wall hangers, how they play doesn't matter.

Doric.

ukelele reminds me of "tip toe through the tulips" iirc was by Tiny Tim

labor day, plan to catch up on installs, play some xenosaga3, play squeekytoy with my neighbor's buppies when they come outside

Tiny Tim was a pretty poor excuse for an act. Heard him once, that was enough. I'd rather hear Cocktails for Two by Spike Jones.

Doric.

90f out. still time for summer tiki martinis

i rendered the kelly lodge in carrara. all the yummi food in it making me hungry

Playing with Marvelous Designer 5 Open Beta until it croaks on me. Sure wish it wasn't so expensive cause I'm getting great results importing the models into Poser.

studying for 3d printing. likes .stl files.

studying needs lotsa cheese doodles. ate 1/2 the bag already

the dark theme of these forums are a relief on my eyes after white of other forums. my eyes sigh in relief lol

Beautiful morning, 50f now, Eight in the morning. Not supposed to go over 70 today, my kind of weather. Doric.

105?!

exnem store on sale nomm the yummies

what the?? pile poo emote?

Might have reached 65f today, but not more. Pleasant outside, but the house is maybe a little cool. Going to have to run the furnace for about an hour, then let it cool off for sleeping.

Doric.

65f sounds nice and comfy

ahchoooo shnitzz
make it stop meh

gonna run out of tissues before i run out of sneezes

Still hot. Still sticky & the cool weather didn't even make it this far south.... Need some

Furnace running, house was cold this morning. 50f again when I looked half hour ago. Coffee done, eyes maybe half open, mind still out, that takes two cups to wake up. Katie curled in bed, blanket pulled tight around her neck, where I'd like to be again, but cats think I should be up, Frisky thinks he wants to be outside, but then he'd be scratching to come back in right away.
Waiting for my lawn care person to come, grass getting pretty high. Legs won't go around that much without me waking up in the wee hours with leg cramps. I'm kinda stuck there.

Doric

(Drums fingers on desk) Why doesn't my credit card statement come when I want it to? Want to buy two guitar cases for my two Gretch, but don't want this months credit bill getting ridiculous. (Returns to drumming fingers.)

Doric

Could, but I want to pay it back to zero so I can start again. (Darned spendthrift anyhow.) Can't do that online.

Doric the impatient.

choice between putting on a drip coffee, LavAzza drip esspresso, k-cup breakfast blend, or hoofing it with my cane to starbucks for a strawberry smoothie. or wait for the coffee truck get diet snapple.

I vote for drip coffee. Lots of it.

Doric

Multi layered dynamics are HARD to set up....... I need a cloth room guru for this outfit....

3dFineries, what type of multi-layer dynamics are you trying to set up? 2 sided cloth or jacket on vest on shirt? I'm not a guru, but I've read lots of their posts and can quote them.

RedPhantom, No one can figure out why the two layers (top & bottom fabrics) are poking through and I've had a lot of help with it too- lol. It's a skirt & top, sort of like a tribal belly dancer costume. If you pop into chat later, I'll show you, but I don't want to show it in public until it's close to done. Hugs.
