Quote - > Quote - It should be available from the original link, Paolo did update it a couple of times, and the last one is the one I'm just moving over to. It should be the version that is here... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3701566/3DRenderChallenge/MadScience.zip 

If that version is still intersecting, then Paolo is your man!

yes, I also noticed the brain lid and book, but it is very slight!

No one took me up on the offer of the Dformer data for the tube rack, I was going to post them as a matter of course, but have not had the time yet. I will post them this weekend tho, but they will only work if you import the scene at 125%, otherwise all the positional co-ordinates will be wrong... I will post them, I will.... `¬)

I'm off to hook up my new cd player, so catch you later!

 

Thanks!  I will give your deformer a go. I never could get those to work right for me. I understand how they work, I can never seem to apply them correctly. 

I was just sorting out the screen grabs and info for the Dformers, and have been thwarted yet again! The first Dformer failed to work, even though I could see it is in the correct place. On closer examination of the mesh, although the tube rack has not been moved, I can see that the mesh density of the rack is double what it was before. This means there are additional points that now need to be moved by a relative amount to make it correct. I am rather annoyed that these Dformers will not work, and have no idea why the mesh density has changed... If I have the time later I may see if adding multiple Dformers to each area will help... this is now getting to be beyond my knowledge/ability to Dform the rack back into its correct shape! - if anyone else has any suggestions? ...I'd really like to use the latest scene, but unless the mesh density can be adjusted to be as it was, I may end up staying with the previous setup... I also notice the liquid surface inside the tubes is not smooth again either... (in the latest and previous version...)

For my Dformers to work, the mesh needs to be the density of the mesh shown on the lhs, and the tube rack must not have been moved in the scene... Paolo, any suggestions?

Present tubes surface...

...If anyone wants the Dformers for the previous scene, then I may post them... but I've spent too much time on this today now... sorry!
