I still don't know why I'm being lectured about intelligence. I never mentioned anything about that. I'm simply pointing out that this is a prototype, with practically nothing complex working yet. What works or doesn't work has been identified, albeit over the span of 50 pages of postings. Reporting problems regarding features that aren't even implemented yet is evidence not of intelligence or lack thereof, but a lack of awareness of what state the software is in.

You guys need to understand something about me. (Many of you do already.) I am like an idiot savant. I generally speak without nuance or recognition of the readers feelings, of how the words I use will be taken, because I'm incapable of seeing things the way most people do.

I make an assumption that you're going to read what I write in the same way and with the same lack of emotion that I do. I state facts bluntly, and this gets me in trouble.

Don't think of me as being nasty. Instead, think of me as being socially challenged, because I am. Everybody is very ready to support someone who has a disability, but fail to recognize that being a nerd is a form of disability. I am a nerd. I care more about the elegance of my code than the elegance of my communiation. I'm unable to do otherwise.

The software is in an incredibly early stage, and I have almost completely rewritten it in the last week, and am kind of burning out. Seeing people struggle with something that I've already disposed of, with a new implementation about to arrive, is frustrating to me. But I have to do real work for my paying customers today and don't have time to fix it just yet. I hope to get out of the office early today and crank a really user-friendly version of LuxPose out tonight.

Sorry I'm an ass. I can't help it.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
