Paul, Paul, Paul, Paul. Terry can't get me to respond to OT any more, so you decide to carry the issue wherever you go. It's a bit sad, actually. - The one I...

... Aren't all contests 'controlled' by those running them? Doesn't anyone that publishes something (including calendars' control what goes into the final...
I am curious about something I encountered this morning while checking a large (11500 x 11500) render. The rendering rate was around 1900 pixels per second...
Hi Alf, applying the pits filter changes the depth map, so it would reduce the subsequent pixel progress rate. The delay in getting back up to speed is due to...
Thanks Garth. I figured it would be something like this. But I am curious about one thing. I checked the lighting periodically, but at one point it seemed that...

too bad..this discussion brings down the pleasure many of us had by joining ( and working hard) for the contest. I can only say : I enjoyed the contest, I...
Damien, Your response mirrors what I've come to expect from you. You don't really address issues or questions but choose instead to resort to invective (I'm...
As the contest contention appears to have spilled into the list, can I ask for a clarification? If I understand correctly, the accusation is that judges were...
Knowing I should keep my nose out of this, I will add that a few years I submitted images for a calendar contest. Well, of course I did not win, as I was a...

... I have a bit of a problem with that idea as well. Unless the contest is supposed to be strictly an abstract thing, in which case just about anyone is...
I know 2 of the judges personally and I can assure those complaining that their (the judges) images are for display only and ARE NOT part of the contest as far...
But you aren't telling the whole story, Damien. Everything starts with the judges. They are not juried and have an assured spot in the exhibition before a...
... Nonsense. I'm not sure where you got that idea, but kindly put it to rest. You're jealous, that's evident. You're not making any points with anyone by...

*Note*: while rendering, the picture is normally updated once per second. If the View is set to 'To Fit', updating the picture is slower so the interval is...
Hi, anyone know if its possible to export color meshes? they always render monochrome. I'm experimenting with printing out shapes from a Zcorp450 3D colour...
Hi Stuart, It is not possible to export any color with meshes at present. Due to the high memory needs of the export process, any extra data would probably...
