Alasdair
Hard to tell without more info... do you want to clip the white or the black?
In my standard clip material (V6) clip from = [0 0 0], clip to = [0.3 0.3
0.3] and the black part is clipped out, works as expected.
You can use the Fade channel instead in a simple (but maybe slower to render)
material by something like
Fade = Texture (MapCoords) or to get more control
Variable Clipvalue
Clipvalue = Texture (MapCoords)
If (ClipValue) [0.01 0.01 0.01]
Fade=1

The margins in that arena are much better than the margins in CPU's right now, so you can bet that Intel's going to go after it with some gusto. OpenMCL and DirectX are our best bets for standardized API's. OpenGL will always be playing catchup, and DirectX will always be leading the way, because Microsoft makes too much money from games to stop pushing DirectX as much as it can, and OpenGL is a standard that requires a committee to agree on. The same committee that ensures that OpenGL is OpenGL also slows it down -- it's the tradeoff for standardization. Threading in Python is a joke. I've done it, it's a waste of effort. The language is suitable only for embarrassingly parallel applications, and that's it. C++0x won't be usable by very many people -- especially the newer programmers. It will be a fine language, but the people using it will be limited to supercomputer models, games, and the better 3D animation and rendering software. There are several modern programming languages that are placing a strong emphasis on parallel, multi-threaded, distributed, and functional programming. In mainstream programming, applications will just get buggier and more bloated. In the smaller space of 3D software and games, we'll see some amazing stuff, probably in the next couple of years. They're going to have no choice as far as standards -- there will be a small number of languages (my guess is OpenMCL + whatever Microsoft calls theirs) that will end up becoming pervasive, and anyone who wants to play will have to support them or be kicked to the curb.

Mark's tips on importing ivy.. A few tips: - I noticed (a few hours too late) that the Ivy .obj file I imported into RS was mirrored! Still not sure if the IvyGenerator or RS is to blame, but watch out. - when importing the ivy object, select 'UV coords to per face materials' to apply the old and young leaf and the bark materials to individual faces. - Make the three materials, using clip or fade mapping for the leaves. If anyone wants them, I'll upload the materials I used here. (room for improvement) - save the import action for the last minute before rendering: it's big and makes editing slow.

Hi Alasdair, only one problem : no renderer is included so it is just a modeller..:( Alasdair Their are two internal renderers in Truespace - Lightworks and Virtualight. These are accessed from the modeler side. The Workspace side is a work in progress. This currently only supports the external renderer specially designed for it called VRAY. Its an implimentation of VRAY for Truespace. You still have to purchase this for $300 or so. Lightworks and Virtualight are the traditional renderers in TS. Virtualight has caustics and GI etc. The aim of TS up to when it got bought by Microsoft was to create a whole new realtime workspace area for modelling based on Directx. Through ver 7 up to the new v7.6 they have been porting the toolsets over to the Workspace area from the old modeller area. So in effect the old Modeller area is in fact TS v6.6 as a plugin to the new Workspace concept. You might note in the setup areas mention of the bridge. This is similar to LIGHTWAVE. To access either Renderer on the Model side - up top right of the model space work area is a horizontal menu of icons inc large X Y Z - the first Icon by default on the left is RENDER SCENE - RIGHT CLICK this and then look at the settings that appear in the right vertical bar. At the end of these settings is RENDER ENGINE and a drop down box allowing choice of either Lightworks OR Virtualight. If you choose Virtualight you need to right click the same Render Scene button AGAIN to get the Virtualight settings panel up. If you hold the mouse down on the Render Scene button you will get other Render options like render to file, render current object ... Also over to the right of this horizontal panel their is a hidden menu right under the DIRECTX Logo icon in this same panel ( also might be set to OpenGL ). Its a tiny square with a depression in the centre - move the mouse over this and another vertical panel pops up - click the tiny grey bar at the top of this panel to force the panel to stay.

I did not know the meaning of the word mudhens, on the internet I found something about a toledo mudhens. Is this related to that subject, if yes, it is funny. I am sorry about blaming all these extremist, because all the decisions are taken and suggested by white european pacifist traitors. It's not the problems of the immigrants if we are so week not to impose our culture and make them proud of our own culture (witch is becoming totally immoral). It must be a shock to the newcomers that dream of coming to canada/usa/europe and find a world of perversions (consumer society, sex everywhere, tolerance of crimminals, culture of BET, no spirituality etc...). Sometimes I wonder if it is not better to have them invade our contry. Maybe we deserve what is happening, we (european descendent) are now a total let down. We rejected our own culture, we forgot about the past, we immitated the lowest of the lowest, we voted for criminals/idiot politicians : we chose to die in horrible pain. It's like the movie Apocalypto. We did not fight, we commited cultural suicide. I now hate Canada and Quebec, I don't recognized it. I don't want to travel and see the world, because with the New World Order and Free Market, every country in the world look alike (there are MC Donalds everywhere). Something new is becoming : global culture and Identity. We are now all the same and equal, women are exactly like man and man exactly like woman. Differences are now forbidden. By destroying racisme, it destroyed the beauty of differences. Being different is beautiful. In 50 years, there will be no more races only (brown) people : no white, no black, no yellow, no red only brown. All colors are beautiful but if you blend them all together the result will be flat.

Re: nurbs fillet
Hello Matthias yes some experimentation revealed that the mesh has to be UN-filled - I guess the manual should make that clear. another point about the manual, it states to create a cone you should use the rotate tool which does nothing but rotate something - what you need is under tools/nurbconstruction/create rotation surface the manual requires clarification :( Alasdair erect featherless bipedwww.digitalmystic.co.uk - Original Message - From: Matthias Kappenberg To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 8:43 PM Subject: Re: nurbs fillet Hi Alasdair, you must first create a trim-curve in a mesh. Then select the mesh you like to have a filled from and the trim curve inside the mesh (-level) where you want the filled to. Select order: Filled from (--Mesh) to(--Trim Curve in Mesh) When I try to create a filled from Mesh to Mesh, I get the same error.

Very good! :-) - Best regards, make critics or wishes, I will build a new and a better Nurbshelper Version next week, but withonly one or two new functions I am thinking it's enough. - If the realsoft user wants to have a bigger Nurbscurve Tool you have to say it :-) / Bye, Frank Brübach (Frankolino), Germany user-list@light.realsoft3d.com schrieb am 01.02.06 17:03:21: http://www.galf.freeserve.co.uk/exibition.htm Frank that is brilliant see above for example :) thanks frank!

Re: To Alasdair :-) - Great Picture! - Frankolinos Nurbscurve Helper Pro 1.2
er thanks, the background is just a camera background, I adjusted the brightness of the car and added a sort of shadow which I coudn`t figure how to produce in RS with Photoshop. the curves of the nurbs was done by selecting the points and using transformation noise. they are textured with the same picture as the background giving them the same palette. the car (Audi not Porsche) is just rotated to look about right against the picture Alasdair erect featherless bipedwww.digitalmystic.co.uk - Original Message - From: Frank Brübach To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 11:49 AM Subject: Re: To Alasdair :-) - Great Picture! - Frankolinos Nurbscurve Helper Pro 1.2 Hi Alasdair, shame upon me! :-) I haven't seen that you have build so fast this great picture with the (porsche) car and the wood and jungele gras in front (left side) with the nurbshelper script, wow! :-)) Congratulations, you have bend the nurbs too, I will make some more functions the next week , so it will function with bend curves, one step after another ! :-)) Thank you for this picture, good idea!

Re: practice make better?
yes, I discovered that when changing from polygonal to nurbs and the surface shrunk to nothing, sharp edges helps in places too, where it does not work around the back end of the model is down to my ineptitude at getting the points to create smooth surfaces, probably should add more faces:( Alasdair erect featherless bipedwww.digitalmystic.co.uk - Original Message - From: Robert den Broeder To: user-list@light.realsoft3d.com Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 7:35 AM Subject: RE: practice make better?
