I find that the easiest way to determine what effect

lights are having in a scene is to check the "show

position in camera view" box and give the light a

distinctive color.

It's ok... just kidding. I don't want to be the one

to tell Michelangelo that he screwed up the

Sistine Chapel ceiling... but I would rotate the

two trees on the edges of the foreground just

a tad so it's not apparent that the three trees

in the foreground are identical. Just sayin.  

Well, I guess if anybody is entitled to hi-jack a thread you are.

What have you been up to my man? 

Well, 49 views and no responses. I guess I can

take that as a no. 

Guess I'll just have to drag my image into PSP

and do some clean up. There's not much one

can't do with the Clone Brush tool.

Thanks,

You need to update your Profile Photo Mr. B. 

Is there a way that I am unaware of to ameliorate the

unfortunate way that the texture on radiused corners

on countertops render? Changing the radius (not really

a viable option) doesn't help nor does using Global

Symbol Mapping.

Interesting pic. Hope they are planning an exit strategy for

the forest fire that appears to be raging in the background.   

I suggested this in 2016 and apparently I wasn't the first at that time.

I think this would help users of all levels every time they use the program.

So this was a courtesy, and we'd like to see you back sometime, all badged up.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.. 

I use Paint Shop Pro but any image editing program will work.

Just set your canvas size to 128 x 128 as Chop mentioned and

you have about 16,000 pixels to work with. It's a bit of an art form

to work in such a  minimal area but when you get what you like

save it as a PNG file and put in in Chief's buttons folder.

there must be some applications where you can create a 3D image from 2d files.  Anyone have any leads?

 

As Mick mentioned Xfrog (https://www.xfrog.net/) has 

3D modeling software. You might want to download

their free trial and see if it meets your needs. They

also have thousands of 3D pants available in their

libraries and collections. 

Very nice indeed. +1

Came across these totally by chance. I was going 

thru Chief's 3D Library looking for some interesting

lighting fixtures when I stumbled onto the fairly new

Niche catalog. 

I kind of liked the pictured pendant light fixtures. As an

E.B.E. they of reminded me of the mothership .... but

I digress. Included in the download, but not mentioned

anywhere, are some nice material options including 

colored glass and metal finishes. Just a FYI.

Coincidentally, I made that very entry door just last week.

See if this works for you.

When you're done using a tool, return it to it's proper place.

Why can't these clowns grasp the concept that it is far more

efficient to take a few seconds or a minute or two to put the

damn thing back where it belongs than to have to whole crew

standing around looking at each other when the guy who used

it last didn't come in today and no one knows where he put it.

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

...Telling the OP to delete and ask their Question in the correct Forum almost never achieve that result.

You know, I always thought that way when we see numerous posts asking

the OP to move their post to the appropriate forum. Then again, how would

we know how many have actually deleted and moved their original posts?

Joey, FYI when my mouse cursor crosses over the round

thingy with your logo in it this is what is displaying. 

How should I go about modeling this? 

I just want to know who draws up these plans?

Check out what's out there.

( Think I read a post here, maybe of Dermot's that said they had a "Dimensioning Expert" on the Team now ).

Interesting. We'll see how the "dimensioning expert" measures up.

In the interest of full disclosure you should know

Oh someone can spell alright. Strictly going on

Your plan file is empty.

I had a play with a detached duplex garage with a rooftop deck a while back.

I ended up going in a more traditional direction.
