    Superdrop 2.0
    Upgrade to my previous render:
    1. Larger logo
    2. Made a displacement map for the boot tops
    3. Softened the facial expression so he looked less angry
    4. Did a little studying on getting a better render out of 3Delight

    Looks good. How many shading samples do you use?


    Thanks!
    64

    You men bucket size? For example I use 4 samples x and four samples y, shading rate .5 and bucket size 32 for working previews
    Are you talking about light shading rate or render shading rate?

    ETA: Oops, sorry. x=16 y=16
    Shadow samples=64
    Shading rate=.5
    Bucket size=16

    Uhmmm good!


    Late Easter dinner? :)
    Jealous. I had a dead fish on a bun and a salad.

    No, not a late Easter dinner. We actually do not celebrate Easter. We have been having these type of meals since I stopped eating red meat 2 months ago. We eat a lot of fish and bird.

    Hello everyone.

    I did not get a chance to say Thank You for the well wishing and positive thoughts before, back when I was complaining about all the medical testing I was going through. THANK YOU!

    I haven't been around the last few weeks because I'm trying to deal with the fact that my kidneys are failing. Trying hard to stay positive but I am not sure where, if anywhere, I am going from here.

    Anyway, I consider you guys friends and I wanted to let you know I might not be around often and why, while I work this out. Still, though, this community puts a smile on my face, which I dearly need right now, and I'll try and keep participating.

    Wishing you all well!

    Sincerely,
    7thStone (Alan)


    ....ouch,

    Just got around to this thread.

    I try to keep the parameters toward the low end, that's why I was curious

    Umm... okay. I'm not going to even wonder what brought on this bit of random thought.

    No complaints today. :)

    Lovely outside, will warm up, it's Friday, it's Payday, I got a discount on my room rent because I've been there a month, I have a turkey and Swiss sammich for lunch, and I'm going out to meet a friend I haven't see in a year tonight! :coolsmile:

    Oh, ONE complaint: the jalapeno bacon cheeseburger I had last night is taking it's toll on my digestive system. :blank: It sure tasted good going down, but.. now I pay! :red: :red:

    *edit* New non-complaint, Daz finally fixed my order and I'm downloading my Serpent Goddess expansion now! Wheee! :snake: :snake:

    Threw a lot more stuff at it this time including heavy transmaps and big textures under UE lights.


    Render time 8min 55seconds

    And what a fetching outfit. We sold a lot of that one during MM compared to other stuff for some reason. Maybe a lot of people feel Flower Child nostalgia this time of year. ;)

    slightly off topic:

    i got bored today and looked at some budget processors (CPUs)

    The slowest one I found is Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge 2.4GHz Dual-Core with Intel HD Graphics for $50 USD.

    Looks like Intel stopped making single-core Celeron processors.


    My single-core computer is too slow for 3D graphics and harddrive intensive programs. I need to save some money to buy a new computer, but i need to pay bills. Maybe a rich relative will give me some money. lol Wishful thinking. Ok, I'm going to play with Vue now.

    That happened a while ago. Right around when things in general got worse. I think it has something to do with the new CEO, but maybe not.
