Walther, I am sorry this issue has caused you and ArtPearl so much discomfort, strife and worry. It is obviously of much greater importance and significance in your life than to many others here. While the subject has taken up a lot of your time, and keyboard wear and tear, I hope you can also see why it just might not be of world shaking consequence to others here.

I might guess from reading your comments, it was not the actual rule per se, but the ill behavior used in enforcing it which was most disturbing. Hopefully, you can someday put it behind you and once again we will see your cheerful personality and whitty valuable comments. :-D

Well said, Lew.

My Mother used to always tell me, "Keep the little things little." In my mind, clicking a nudity check box isn't a big deal one way or another-- certainly not enough of a snit to warrant more than a couple sentences of alarm, or concern, or frustration. After all, while it's a free country, this website is private property. They don't want you taking clothes off in their house without flagging it-- which sounds reasonable to me.

Hey ArtPearl,

So it was you who made all the fuss.

I'm sorry to have trespassed so grievously on your sensibilities with my three sentence message about the book I've spent a good part of the last year working on. I was hoping the title of the post, "Vue 3D Comic Manaul Now Shipping" would have clued you on not clicking further and thus wasting your valuable time. Please accept my apologies.

My best thinking is you should just do your best to ignore any posts from me from now on.

I hope there are some here who would find value in that post.

Thanks Pam! Hope you liked the section on troubleshooting Interior Renders. Just got back from SigGraph and saw Peggy there!

It will work with Vue 8 but a patch needs to be installed. Just contact me and I can give you the patch.

 Thanks volter. Did you already get your copy?

 Hi Frank,

I've checked it out on three different browsers (including Firefox) on two different OS'es, and can't reproduce the javascript issue you talk about. Can you refresh that page and try again?

Hi Teque,

Where do you live? That charge does sound ridiculous. I'll be seeing the e-on folks directly next week and will check out what the issue is. Perhaps we can do something about it.

best,
Chipp

 Well, I haven't heard back from e-on on this, but I did go to both UPS and the US Postal Service, and the price is pretty much right on for a package of that size. Now, I suspect there are discounts for volume shipping, etc, but I'm not sure there's much which can be done.

FWIW, the book is printed on gloss paper with an ultra heavyweight stock for the cover. It's a nice print job and sending it only in an envelope would probably do damage to it. 

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Ouch.

Yes, that is way out of line. I'll contact e-on immediately about this.

 Pam,
Do you mind me asking, what were the shipping charges?

Thanks Bruno. FYI, It's not just for beginners. There's advanced chapters on modeling and rendering Interiors including a troubleshooting guide for inside renders. I won't be updating InteriorPak because I put in the latest thinking and work I've done with Interiors in this book.

 Congrats..Long time coming and most deserving :-)

Walther,

I am sorry to see you go, though we'll catch up on other forums. I've pretty much written Rendo off, too. While I still lurk here, I've quit commenting much as the hateful rhetoric has become too tiring to defend.

Bobby,

I really can't believe you're actually wasting time defending this idiocy. Have you even looked at Wabe's pictures?

 Dick,

Stunning stuff! I, too, look forward to your new Cloud products. I think you've really hit a sweet spot here with 2D clouds which render fast. Wonderful.
