Wintermute: I've said it before and I'll say it again camel: That was other night. Meta AuntiAlias: there was an eclipse the other night? MetaJohn: missed it again Meta AuntiAlias: : ( Clay: :-( camel: Yup Meta AuntiAlias: anyone else want to step up to the microphone? tell us about the eclipse if you saw it... Clay: I would like to sing my rendition of desperado..... Blue Max: Luner or Solar? camel: Didnt see it. Heard on the news. Wintermute: anybody have any 100% Brycean tornado's they've rendered? camel: Luner i think. MetaJohn: lunar partial Meta AuntiAlias: okay, Clay... .it's yours! Ladeeez and Gentlemen! I present Clay! demjohn: do you know what b5 really needs? real-world units. feet, meters, and such...it would be so nice to pull in the SDTS for Mt. Massive, Colorado, and set the hight to 14,421ft so that the atmospheric effects would scale properly with the image and terrain Clark/CDS: are you aware that zygote has added a free weekly Bryce model to their free weekly Poser models Clay: LOL noooooooo BRB Meta AuntiAlias: stage fright! demjohn: er, height MetaJohn: They have a great CD of Bryce models too Wintermute: demjohn: nah. They need weather effects first Blue Max: -----> Rain!!! <----- demjohn: winter: the weather effects wouldn't look right because the scale would be all weird ;) Clark/CDS: anyone played with Eric W's new ArtMatic->does terrians maps and other stuff demjohn: w/o real-world units, that is clark: no. what's the url for it? is there a mac version? Meta AuntiAlias: www.uisoftware.com i believe camel: Or pc? Clark/CDS: John...I beta'd the Z-bryce models mac only Meta AuntiAlias: heh. next thing you know, there'll be requests for an El Niņo model in Bryce.... weather model... demjohn: AA: cool. that's where metasynth is too, correct? (did eric w. ever work for meta?, or did he just co-develop bryce 1? Meta AuntiAlias: maybe a global warming engine.... yeah, that's it! ; ) Ringo: I would like one Aunti. demjohn: AA: la niņa too 8) Meta AuntiAlias: Eric developed Bryce 1, and was an employee of HSC Software.... Reflash: trees Meta AuntiAlias: prolly of MetaTools too, but I'm not sure... demjohn: don't forget the ozone hole size slider Meta AuntiAlias: Tsunami generator! Blue Max: *rolls eyes heavenward* Meta AuntiAlias: (is really tempted to shake the monitor to shake all your computers to do a real earthquake effect. alas) Ringo: Here is a Bryce4-Poser4 image...the doggie is hungry. http://members.xoom.com/rfmgraphics/test5.html camel: How bout a slider for different lenses for the camera!! demjohn: tsunami's rock! you could just click a point for an underwater seismic disturbance, and b5 could automatically animate a tsunami hitting all of the proper coastal areas. talk about reality! 8) Meta AuntiAlias: er.. yeah, I guess you'd need the wave proximity thingie to be in place before that, eh? Blue Max: I would like different focal lengths... Far out objects out of focus, that sort of thing... Clark/CDS: Add f-stops demjohn: bluemax: the materials editor has a distance blur already, though i haven't used it enough to know how well it works Blue Max: Yeah? I haven't noticed it.... Clark/CDS: and focus points Meta AuntiAlias: (it's for bump...) Blue Max: Egad! I will have to pull out my manual again.... *roots through bookshelf* demjohn: actually, the camera controls should be easier to use... real 3d ray-traced lens flares would look great on the sun and on specular hi-lites Blue Max: But I meant overall objects being in or out of focus... not just their applied textures. MetaJohn: brb Meta AuntiAlias: you do know the way to fake that, don't you? Blue Max: No... what? demjohn: i see what you mean, blue...i didn't know it was only for bumps until AA said so Meta AuntiAlias: using distance render.... render your scene normally then render it again using distance render mode. demjohn: AA: a distance render and kraussian blur in kpt5? Meta AuntiAlias: export that distance render and then load that as a mask for blurs... demjohn: or gaussian blur in photoshop Meta AuntiAlias: possibly kraussian; I prefer blur more to gaussian Clark/CDS: never looks right AA, and it asumes that you only want the background blurred, not the foreground Meta AuntiAlias: gaussian tends to "pull" image area from under the mask... Blue Max: hmmmm..... that's assuming you have photoshop... I'm what one would call a "cheap bastard".... I have photo-paint 9 (Corel) MetaJohn: back Meta AuntiAlias: looks weird at edges, if you got stuff far/close well.. in this case, trying a basic blur and applying several times works better than trying to do it all at once using a gaussian blur demjohn: AA: i like Kraussian better too...not only what you said, but it also doesn't add banding/posterizing artifacts to high-contrast blur areas like gaussian sometimes does Meta AuntiAlias: yeah, I gotta play with that some more, demjohn! : ) demjohn: AA: me too. i've only used kraussian a few times so far 8) Blue Max: Thanks All! http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/garage/1519/ MetaJohn: It isd really good if you have to pump up to a high blurr Meta AuntiAlias: anyone else wanna take a turn at this microphone ::::waves it around toward the crowd:::: demjohn: AA: gimme a sec...i'm trying to remember another little question i wanted to ask...anyone else go ahead while i'm thinking MetaJohn: I have to go, been in this charir at this computer fro 15 hours straight! Clay: sheesh! MetaJohn: See you all soon Meta AuntiAlias: :::Continues waving aroudn the microphone::::: demjohn: meta: wowo! you at work? Clay: cya John Meta AuntiAlias: Screeeeeeeeeee! Oops! feedback! MetaJohn: Not really, just in the office demjohn: bye metaJ Meta AuntiAlias: seeya, John! : ) Wintermute: bye John Meta AuntiAlias: not even a little tap dance? poetry reading? camel: Turn it to 11!!! Wintermute: AA: all us Mac people are too busy writing flame mails to everybody who's ever said anything bad about the platform. can't expect us to do a whole lot here, now, can you? demjohn: AA: i don't know if i said so before, but i'll definitely share the DEM/SDTS tricks that i know when ever you have that DEM-BT discussion...i'll email you about it before i log off tonight Meta AuntiAlias: now *that* is a tap dance! k cool! I've the first two lines of a limerick.... stuck on the rest, tho demjohn: AA: pray tell demjohn: the limerick, that is
