    In Hong Kong, it would be "dou si hau naa leoi gin".

    Thank you... I was using a translator... I had a feeling it would be wrong... Do you know what it means????

  • GordigGordig Posts: 9,163

    Roughly "see you then", although my Chinese is pretty rusty so I can't vouch for the quality of the translation. The correction was only because people in Hong Kong primarily speak Guangdonghua ("Cantonese") rather than Putonghua ("Mandarin"), though I'm sure most Hong Kong residents also speak Putonghua out of necessity. Guangdonghua uses mostly the same grammar and largely the same vocabulary as Putonghua, but pronunciation is different.

    Your translation is almost what I said... It was more like "See you there!"  Does that make a difference?

  • GordigGordig Posts: 9,163

    Well, 到 means, among other things, “arrive at", and 時候 is time, so 到時候 would usually mean "by the time". 那裏見 is pretty straightforwardly "see you there", so you could leave it at that. The construction of 到時候哪裏見 seems a little strange to me, but I'm neither a native speaker nor fluent, so I can't say with any certainty that it's wrong.

    Ha.. well I'll take your word for it... I was just trying to be clever... lol.  It could have said anything... it's all just squiggles to me... I wish I could read it ;)  

    How EVER you say it... See ya in China!

    Hi. This is my first official Daz render ever. I have not even made a gallery on my profile. As I was scrolling through the forum I thought a night scene would be nice to make, and this Hong Kong idea was a good excuse. So. Here is my first public render on Daz.

    My first public Daz Render

    The background is a stock photo. The challenge was to integrate the lights on the model so it fits the ambient lights.

    The only post-processing work was to slightly edit the dark point in the model to match the processing of the background.

    Postcards to Dad #03 : Hong Kong

    Hey Dad,

    It's our third day in Hong Kong now and so far it's been pretty great. We found this strange little tea house just across the street from our hotel which we have come to for breakfast every day now. It's a bit of a tourist trap and we've not seen any locals here so far - which is great for us since we always get the best table! The owner is a little crazy tho; he loves my red hair and says it reminds him of his favourite singer! I don't know about that but he gives us extra dumplings so I'm not going to argue! :)

    Here is Leyla and Jessie allowing me to test out my new camera on them while they finish up the Rose Tea. Next we have our most important task of this holiday so far; shopping to find a perfect birthday gift for you. Wish us luck!

    Love you lots!

    This is great Sof... I love how you are getting your logo in all the post cards ;)  I wish I was there with them... I love Chinese tea... ooooolooooooooooong ... Yummo... Wonder what they will find for Dad's birthday present... humm... lol

  • SofaCitizenSofaCitizen Posts: 1,603

    Thanks guys :)

    I've never actually been to a tea house myself and I had less Chinese products than I thought. Many of the images I saw online were either really posh-looking or very stylised to the point that I would need some very specific assets which I why I came up with the "tourist trap" style of venue as that can be kit-bashed a bit easier.

    The logo thing started as an internal compromise to myself since I originally wasn't comfortable "signing" my work so by making it part of the image it feels like it belongs there :) I do need to learn some more blender tho as the mesh is terrible - it will take a colour fine but any complicated shader fails to work properly on it :(

    A lovely and colourful image :)

    I don't think I've ever heard that instrument being played either so I'll have to check it out later.

    I don't know blender so can't help you there... But luckily we have lighting that can hide a multitude of sins.  ;)  I need to come up with a logo... humm... I guess I don't mine signing cause when I'm long and gone... Maybe peeps will remember me???  It's a thought... lol.

    Hong Kong - I hear it started as a fishing village, but who knows;) A lot of people, even muslims, must have arrived pretty early on, attracted by the silky road...

    Totally agree Sven... Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what Hong Kong may have been like way back when :)

    Hello everyone !
    Let me present you: Hong Kong Bay Horror Story.

    I never went in Hong Kong (or really travel abroad), but with internet and social medias, it's a kind of virtual travel right? (without the feel nor experience though). And now with Daz I can dream my past and futur travels...
    I used a real photo of the city of Hong Kong in the background, and then matches the lights' reflections on the sea, then blended all in Photoshop.
    You will find a lovecraftian story with it, in my gallery:

    Thanks @Saphirewild and @AgitatedRiot !
    Saphirewild, your background is more recognizable than mine. To match the pov, I did not fine one with this famous HongKong building.
