I've wondered about that. The attachments to the pillars are so slight to be hinges that I figure it really is just an ornamental span. There is a more glaring problem remaining, however. 😀

Yeah, someone must have been copying letters off a sample font sheet without thinking how drop shadows worked. 🤔 There's another one in there.

Those are psychedelic!

I'll give them that one. They could be wide fronds. 😀

Daffy Duck in Hollywood" (1938) I've always liked this gag. But... what's wrong with this picture?

Making a Post Effect for A:M that converted a rendered image to a LUT'd image probably would be possible

I'm sure seagulls have been around a long time.

lut = Look Up Tables... for color?

He's either sweating or giving off diamonds.

Would you believe I haven't begun my entry yet? That can only mean one thing... a deadline extension! Now... November 30! If you thought you only had three weeks left, now you have... twelve-ish?

Looks classy!

Duck, Rabbit , Duck! (1952) Looks like one of the girls in Ink & Paint forgot Elmer's eyes.

Hi Mike. The Showcase and WIP forums would be your most likely gambits for recent bits that people have done.

Is there a reason to not put these on Youtube so people could watch them easier? The load time is quite extended before anything can be seen. On Youtube people could click and start watching right away. I'm sure you'd get more feedback. I did watch it. I'm a little confused. He seems to not like the music at first, but appears less annoyed as the days go on, but then moves to stop her at the end.

I have done that but it is so slow in real time that i decided it was faster to do a preview render when I needed to see it.

Hurray! The option to go past 4x4 is new in v19. I haven't found a use for that so I keep "Limit" checked. I''m glad you are still with us, even if it means using a PC!

I'm surprised to read that... on Thom? Plain yellow Thom? The specs you have are all way better than the computer I'm on and i don't have any trouble with Thom. Something must be wrong. One thing to check... go to Tools>Options>Global and check "Limit real-time subdivisions" That stops you from going past 4x4 subdivisions with the Page Up key in shaded mode. Let me know if that changes anything. Edit... I'm looking at me video card specs I have 2GB rather than your 1GB. maybe that would be why? experiment... try setting your monitor resolution to something small like 1024x768, run A:M, load a model and see if it is still slow.

that does look better. Looks like a traffic jam out front!

See if this answers any questions. I forgot to mention, turn Cast Occlusion OFF also if you are going to use AO. clip4860SkyDome_1500.mp4

For a lot of scenes you can just put a rectangle in the back that covers the camera view. If you have something reflective (in your case you have water) then you may need a dome.

Sorry! Now it has lyrics!

Yes, a gradient really does a lot to improve skies!
