One of the things I just discovered is really simple. If you look at just about any photograph one thing that is in every one is noise. Sometimes it is hard to see and sometimes it is obvious if you know what to look for. CG images don't have noise. A Terragen image was recently posted in the realism category and one of the postwork items was noise. Before I read that I wondered what the artist did that was special. Postwork a little bit of noise into an image and see if it looks more realistic, more like a photograph.

When you go out to download spyware removal software be sure it is the real thing. There are lots of programs that claim to clean your system but give a lot of false positives and some even install their own stuff.

Here is the point behind the scene(notice the flag hanging from the coat rack): This table set for one is small...it symbolizes the frailty of one prisoner alone against his or her suppressors. The table cloth is white...symbolizing the purity of their intentions to respond to their country's call to arms. The single rose displayed in a vase...signifies the blood they may have shed in a sacrifice to ensure the freedom of our beloved United States of America. It also reminds us of the families and friends of our comrades in arms who keep faith, while awaiting their return. The red ribbon...tied so prominently on the vase, is reminiscent of the red ribbon worn upon the lapel and breast of thousands, who bear witness to their unyielding determination to demand a proper accounting for our missing.(not in this image, didn't have the ribbon) The candle...is reminiscent of the light of hope which lives in our hearts to illuminate their way home, away from their captors, to open arms of a grateful nation. A slice of lemon...is on the plate to remind us of their bitter fate. There is salt...sprinkled upon the bread plate symbolic of the countless family tears as they wait. The glass is inverted...they cannot toast with us at this time. The chair...is empty...They are NOT here.

I could probably just resize the table cloth and it still look good. I don't remember which, I think it was the atmosphere ambience or something, I turned it to black and it turned the candle flame black. It was cool but not what I wanted at the time. Thanks for helping me out. I am learning so much on this scene.

It would be great to put the chair right up to the table. The seat is 25.89 tall and 20.48 wide. The ribbon is great! The funny thing is I don't want it too bright but the one light in the candle lights up the whole thing on a brightness of 10. Is there any way I can block the light channeled by the vase to the bottom of the wall by the coat rack? If I move the wall closer it is much more apparent.

Thanks! That looks like it will work just fine.

that's a really funny website! why do we say TUNA FISH we don't say CHICKEN BIRD

I got lucky, clouds rolled in sometime early this morning.

The vase will be slightly different than the one in the image but about about 10x20x10.

sounds about right. I was afraid earlier today I would miss it due to clouds. We got soaked in band but the clouds moved off. I took some pictures and will have them developed as soon as possible. I wish I had a nice dgital camera :(

I am doing a scene involving a POW-MIA table(I recently posted a WIP). I need a ribbon that I can put around a vase. If you already know where to find one please tell me, I have been looking all over.

That's got to be the stupidest,yet smartest, thing I have ever seen! Actually, I don't know what to think.

Thanks for the AWESOME laugh. I looked at them last night before I went to bed and I laughed at the kitten things for probably a good five minutes this morning!:O

That is hilarious!!! Wow! OMG!
