Attached Link: What does this render need?

Problems importing a 3ds object properly?

Where is the naked Vicky barbarian amazone. :closedeyes:

Mazak :biggrin:

Or the Flintstones!

 Looks more like Vue render than a Firefly. Oh wait, that's a photo. I've heard of them.

We still don't have a winning answer........

That I can't read the writing properly?

What my house looks like on the inside after two teenage boys ran through it!!!

"Can't read the writing" is a good answer ... means you need to set texture filtering to None.

Still not the answer I'm waiting for.......

Or the shading rate lower :)

I used to have neighbors like that?

edges aren't set correctly?  or something technical (vertices out of order?)

Warmer.

Dunno about the render... but the owner of the regular house could do with better neighbours.

Maybe he needs to switch smoothing off/down. Or use bricks instead of cheese.

Attached Link: Irritated Tulsan

This was apparently built as a Route 66 roadside attraction; may have
been a restaurant to begin with.  It's amazing that all those melty
shapes have stayed intact over the years.

I found it in

http://irritatedtulsan.wordpress.com/

which is a sort of Oklahoma version of The Onion.  Some of the humor is local,
but he has a great series of awful architecture and stupid signs.

Heh -- I worked in Tulsa on a contract job years ago.  Lots of "Lebanese Steakhouse" type restaurants around.  At the time, all of the visiting Houston-based engineers kept asking me if there was any work to be had in Tulsa.  Never saw that particular building, though.

Just a sidebar: I think that I've figured out why he calls himself "IrritatedTulsan".  You should peruse the comments attached to the "Lost Ogle" blog:

Sounds like the contributing 'professional' web commentators are about as warm and friendly as they are -- on the average -- elsewhere on the internet.

Damn, the modeler mixed up the vertex order again. 

On second thought, I think Pakled and Stewer have the better answer.
It really does look more like a jumbled-vert morph than an unsmoothed mesh!

Xeno:  Yeah, I noticed that little contretemps as well.  The girls in the pictures
are all pretty, clean, and trying hard to please the candid photog.  Yet all the commenters
called them "skanks".   What's wrong with these people?  We've reached
a stage where cosmetic perfection -- the skill of the orthodontist and plastic
surgeon -- has totally replaced the normal criteria of beauty and talent.
If it ain't Miley Cyrus, it's a skank.

As an experienced Poserite, what's your first thought on seeing this picture?

My first thought...... that's the sure way to crash FireFly when rendering something like this!

My second thought..... Why do the majority if poserites never create something as original as this, all most do is create same old boring stuff everyone else is doing over and over again.

"Why do the majority if poserites never create something as original as this, all most do is create same old boring stuff everyone else is doing over and over again."

Good point.  Partly it's because architecture doesn't sell much, so we tend
to stick with things that are likely to sell.  It would take a hell of a lot of work
to make those melty shapes ... a far more complicated mesh than nice flat
walls with nice rectangular windows!

I made one Route 66 landmark of similar complexity (the Dream Village Motel)
and it has sold exactly one copy in two years.

But the majority of Poserites don't even sell their images..... :-)

::::: Opera :::::

It's a good question.  The Sydney Opera House, the Gaudi apartment in
Barcelona, and this little house in Tulsa...... all distorted in similar ways.

We treat the first two as great, and the third as awful.  Why?

Just because the first two were trying to Express a Big Idea while
the third was trying to Attract Customers?

Figure out a way to add that to Vicky's "hooker-ware" wardrobe and it would sell.

little house in Tulsa.   +   $300,000,000   =   big art that everyone loves.

my first thought in the mornings:

where are my clothes?

how did that get there?

who are you then?

what was i drinking last night?

can all pink rabbits do that?

what was the question again?
