Quote - I personally could give a flying broomstick if 3DU TC2 will convert M2's Toasts to Match M4 toast. If 3dU does not want to convert oh well. I will still but their products due to they are good products. Atleast 3DU stands up for what they believe in, I respect that, what I don't respect is the people who bash 3DU because what 3DU believes in.

I thought this was a community and not a bash fest.

Bash Fest Alert ...

Sooooo ...

... by that logic, we should all respect Idi Amin.  He was a very good cannibal, so even if you find eating the flesh of fellow humans repugnant, you still have to respect him for doing it so well, don't you?  That's what he believes in ... so, if you don't believe in it and try to call him on it, you're just imposing your bourgeois scruples on the poor guy.  Just 'cause he likes to chew the occasional femur is no reason to besmirch his good name, is it?

Or, just maybe, there's an implied disrespect for fellow humans embodied in the act of knoshing on their extremities.  Like the implied contempt for those who do not find the actual representation of the human form in art repugnant.

I'm just sayin' ...

Of course, TLA can also be pronounced as a word.

I thought I knew it all, TLA read this thread.

Trekkiegrrrl:  Having spent years in your neck of the woods (back when you had to take a hovercraft to get from Copenhagen to Malmo) I recognize the derivation of Lindqvist and actually have no problem pronouncing it.  Some of the folks I know in Finland, however, will forever have to put up with my mispronunciations of their completely proper names.

I still think you should do a Bento Box with Lutefisk and Brunost!

Just to be clear, the reason I don't buy from vendors who omit genital textures is because they are selling a partial product.

What if they had a thing about faces, and provided textures without a face.  I don't want to waste my time trying to color match another face to match their body texture, no matter how nice it might be.

Sell me a complete product, or I move on.  As I said, I do buy female textures from the vendor in question, just not their incomplete offerings.

It's not really a boycott, just a choice not to waste my time and money.

By the way, that vendor has at least one product which clearly does not contain a genital map, and it is not mentioned.  That is tricky, if not deceitful.

Validity has nothing to do with pronunciation.

Hoplaa may well be a valid name.  Gkcqpxzt is a valid name, please do pronounce it.

In a similar vein, there is another vendor who refuses to provide textures for the funny bone.  I won't mention names, but it rhymes with nubgraphick.  I like his female textures, but refuse to buy any of his/her male work as it is simply incomplete.

He/she generally, but not always, notes the lack of toast cover.

Poor form in my opinion.

To Lundqvist:

People who put a V immediately after a Q probably shouldn't call pronunciations into question.

As a matter of fact, it is quite simple to pronounce RDNA as a word:

"Everything I know about acronyms, I rdna book."

The cranium is too small in relation to the overall head.  It should also be rounded.

Quote - My favorite part:

Q: Why do you call yourself "Reformed"?
A: Good question. Um...Because we also worship bushes?
 

Actually, it is only the Texas synod that worships bushes.

True, but only one has Druidic Karaoke lyrics !

TrekkiGrrrl:

I notice in your Bento's you never use Brunost or Lutefisk.  I suggest you do a Norway themed box using these delicacies.   Just don't eat it.

Klebnor

Are you saying that there are TWO RDNA's??

I was hoping that it would be less cumbersome.  I find it difficult to merge character sized objects inside a Carrara simulation, the terrain is so massive that it becomes difficult to work on the small scale within the simulation.

I was hoping TerraDome was sort of like an envirosphere with a reasonable size which would be less taxing on the system and simply provide a realistic background.

Now it's all falling into place.

Ordered Poser 8, waited two weeks.

Followed up with S/M and UPS, both swear it was delivered.

Never found a package.  UPS shows me scan of acceptance form.  Small pawprint on signature line.

Just checked catbox.  Small bits of undigested CD plastic and shredded paper mixed in with litter.

Cats seem fine, except for the smug looks.

S/M advises neither they nor the carrier are responsible for interception by felines.

Yarp:

That's great news.  As both a Carrara and P3dO user for years, I can't wait.

Well, I don't own any apple products - don't support the closed architecture philosophy.

Works fine on my windows PC.
