  Yes , Zaug , I know , that's why I said "Ah-so . Yes 
it's there" . I did exactly what you suggested , and

tried the Samples/render/skin project , and lo & behold
there they were , at the bottom of the View menu .
Thanks for your suggestion.
  
Hehe, cool, nice tool, indeed. Beyond this, the Linux version used to  
"drop" the image when one did nearly anything, now the bu image is there 
even after switching desktops.

Amazing how nice this one improvement is  : )

(I swear to god my posts are being put through some kind
of random word generator)
  

lol, and your point  ; )
Ah, see below

  Anyway , my point was that now with V6, renders auto-
matically get backed up , but new users will not be
able to find the menu item to re-display them .

  

Right, I guess I cannot address this accurately

  In V5.x , it was a no-brainer , and that's exactly the
way some things should work , simple , and obvious , so
that new users can D/L the S/W and see how intuitive it
is , as well as powerful .

  
Well, it is mentioned in the startup tutes so likely most new users will 
find it soon enough but if not,  we will be there to show them ; )



  Anyway , how's your latest Java Script coming along ?
  
I lost about a week of coding time going on  holiday-ish road trip with 
a less that prepared laptop, to boot  :|
but in the next hours there will be a largely-commented, hack version to 
test; posing as a semi-complete script.
So have a look and post an idea or two, most all is possible or 
close..

Is it any easier with V6 ?
TBH, I have not even checked to see if some of the new features are 
covered in the .js api. Really the best thing was that nothing changed 
that caused any recoding work.

I really think that your Java
work will open many doors for the RS community .

Just windows for now
sorry could not resist  : D
But the doors should be a short leap ; I hope, (I am the great 
under-estimator, or maybe it is optimism; nah!!  ; )


Anyway thanks for this nice comment, I am just hacking at it 
persistently ( I think I operate on a rule of 1% inspiration 99% 
., nothing magic and few gifts at work that are not from the 
immediate RS community).

On the shoulders of Giants!!


It's
almost enough to make you want to learn the language ...
almost (grin) .
  
Just like all things, do not try to do it all at once, make a nice 
sphere, or a not so nice sphere, it all is progress if you keep working 
at it.

Keep up the great work !
  
Thankz, tiz' my idea of fun, to an exactness, even when I am cussing 
about it  %)


I code, therefore I am..
Hehe, sorry again :P

Cheerz,
Zaug

Lookat with the Inverse Kinematics Object.

2008-01-02 Thread K-UDA

Hello List.
I want to control the eye objects with a skeleton.
I mapped the Inverse Kinematics Object to skeleton.
But the response of Realsoft3D became slow.
Is this way mistake?

Here is a bit more info.

Hi Zaug :

  Ah-so . Yes it's there , and I totally could not find it (not sure
what you mean by "until that one only gets a color channel") .
  

I mean just what you say just below, a rendering without advanced
illumination results in this single item "list":




  Anyway , create & render just a simple sphere and at the very bottom
of the 'View Window/Render' menu is the option to "Show Backup" the
'Colour' channel . 

 Personally , I think there should be a header with "Show Backup" ,
and the available channels listed directly underneath . Maybe that
is not do-able with the XP menu system ?
  


If you render an image utilizing GI you should get this list you speak
of:

  If not , then maybe this new option could be somewhere that a
_new user_ can easily locate . (or just add a pre-hyphen etc)

Then again , maybe it's a simple fix that can be added to SP1 ?

It's an awesome time saving tool . New users can explore the very
powerful channel system that exists just below the surface ...
advanced users no longer have to fire up 'ShowImg.exe' , select
the file , then choose the channel .

Thanks for your reply (& thanks RS for this V6 addition) .
