dcb_: do nebulae pictures count? eilif: well, I cheat with photos and dull white skies, put in a nice blue one in photoshop ccasady: When it just *has* to look real and photgraphic, I use a sky pict. creativejuice: for gallaxies and nebula eilif: I sometimes take pix just for that purpose, scan them and keep them handy... Meta AuntiAlias: uh.. fotos dull white skies... you doin' any of this in Bryce, eilif? or do I not understand enough of your method? eilif: I use it for photos, so I was thinking of doing it to bryce pix too like http://www.fantopia.com/1024/sample1.html Meta AuntiAlias: 404 dcb_: fyi...for incredible high resolution images to use as background picts for your space scenes http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html eilif: great, one pic didn't make it jonjon: ? diff subject CBXTX: OżO ccasady: Anybofy know where top get good free Sky pictures? Meta AuntiAlias: web cams? maybe? ccasady: Somtimes the Image banks put free samples on the web I know I've seen some before Meta AuntiAlias: jon jon, what's your question? jonjon: Can you adjust stratus clouds and cumulus clouds seperately? I mean in the sky lab. It seems to be just one height etc setting for all. kind of annoying. ccasady: Kinda wish I'd bookmarked those! Meta AuntiAlias: alas, jon jon, they're tied together.... : ( jonjon: and retain the sep settings I mean Meta AuntiAlias: tho, you can, if you edit the material, do some separate cheats ccasady: yes, they are tied together True, jonjon: Wot a pain. It would increase flexibility to split em Oh well, cloud plains. . . Meta AuntiAlias: for instance, frequency is tied to altitude.... so you can cheat that way by changing the underlying frequency of the cloud texture eilif: maybe they are linked in reality, any meteorologists here? jonjon: ooh ccasady: You could adjust the frequency seperatly, that would help Mother: Here's a thought. Can you import DEM files and use them as clouds? Some of the super cell clouds look a lot like terrains. jonjon: I bet there's a good boring reason ccasady: Hey! Good idea! Here's another one: eilif: yes, flat on the bottom, fluffy on top ccasady: Some of my most interesting Terrains, Have been actually renders of Skies turned into Terrains! Great organic mountains Mother: I'm beginning to see what my problem is...lack of lateral thinking. Meta AuntiAlias: : ) Mother ccasady: Hmmm. What's "lateral" thinking, prey tell jonjon: I've tried cloud terrains with vol and non vol materials but nothing quite works like a good ol sphere, annoying cos fractal terrains are so suitably cauliflowery. ccasady: yes, the new Cauliflower trrains are tempting to experiment with as clouds I tried one as a bump for clouds... eilif: maybe duplicate them a couple times, change the settings on each a bit? jonjon: the material doesn't 'sit' right some how, the form still looks spikey somehow i tried duplicate, enlarge and set to aadditive still no joy Meta AuntiAlias: I did see someone do a scene that used terrains for clouds.. in the distance... they were "upright" great puffy ones... a sorta cartoony looking scene, or sky... Meta AuntiAlias: but it worked well.. can't remember the url, tho eilif: I'll have to try that jonjon: I want Marge Simpson's hair type clouds! eilif: those are the kind i've been photographing! lately jonjon: Wot green? Meta AuntiAlias: if you use cloud terrains as volumes, make sure that the terrain is set to solid! eilif: shape Meta AuntiAlias: oh.. before I forget.... a reminder announcement... AuntiAlias: this is from KPT Joseph.. who was here earlier ANNOUNCEMENT: Joseph Linaschke, International Evangelist for MetaCreations is looking to hire a new Evangelisto in Europe!!! REQUIREMENTS: Live in/around Paris, speak French & English well enough to demo in, have no fear of stages, and have a technical and perferably artistic background. eilif: what does such a one do? AuntiAlias: Travel, Fame and Fortune guaranteed (well, two of three maybe!) Contact josephl@metacreations.com eilif: I only want fortune Morpheus: 2 aunti's at the same time? Mother: Sounds like work. :) eilif: French - that leaves me out Meta AuntiAlias: yeah, MOrpheus, had crashing problems, so I got a backup "presence" in case this one flakes out again eilif: I hate Paris Morpheus: ahhh Mother: Je parle le Francais. And I also hate Paris. Meta AuntiAlias: well..... send email to Joseph if you're interested.... or tell friends whom you think might be interested to get in touch with Joseph! :D eilif: I'm the only brycer in this country i think Clay: LOL Meta AuntiAlias: I'm *not* the only Brycer in this country! ; ) Mother: Being in canada, I only do winter scenes. :) Mindscenes: LOL Aunti Mother: Are we finished? Meta AuntiAlias: wow.. we might've reached the 80 minute time out time for all da lurkers! I'm looking at the list of questions.. there were some about comets... dcb_: :) not yet eilif: must've been captivating Mother: Mass exodus. Clay: heheh Morpheus: ? now that I'm here Betty: and some of us were late : ) Mother: Fire drill.
