I'm just deeply saddened by the way you reacted yourself. ppl want to be involved. they want to test. we will get ppl that yes, do want to just fire it up and use it.
but the way you just put all the effort down. bill, that saddened me.
It saddens me, too. Just want to point out that I do have two master's degrees, but they are in the field of literature. There are at least 7 types of intelligence, by the way.
Do you know of Richard Engel, who wrote "Fist in a Hornet's Nest"? He and his parents were repeatedly told that college prep courses were beyond him. He was dyslexic. With the help of today's technology, he was able to become a more than capable reporter and writer.
No, I don't understand computer code and am shaky about installing and tying new apps. But I have been told I'm "very, very talented" in creating the poses I do. (I work mainly with poses, but not code.)
We don't all have the same abilities. I don't agree, particularly with these statements: "This software as it stands right now is being used be people who have no business using it. If you have questions, it means you're not prepared to play with urinating with your new kidneys while the surgeon still has your open body on the table with only one vein and one artery hooked up."
Perhaps I shouldn't be trying it at this point, but I did get a simple scene to render, with the appropriate colors. (Didn't post any of it.)
When I taught literature, in colleges, and in high schools, I found that if I helped students who were struggling with the subject, I learned, for myself, a good deal about how literature "works," and thereby refined my teaching strategies. This led me to help students at all levels. If you help someone who is struggling with LuxPose and LuxRender, you may learn what users will consider confusing and refine the application to provide a much more satisfactory experience for many users.
