Cool man. Not everybody is willing to share their best grass with just anyone.

I can confirm that you are not losing your mind. The X12 render is far superior to the X13 one.

So I've been using my 4th string computer out in the garage. It's an old machine with a dual boot setup with Windows XP Pro & Windows 7. It won't support Chief X13 but X12 runs fine on it. Recently when I exit the program I've been getting this annoying APPCRASH error message after the program closes. If I click on check online for a solution the computer gurgles for awhile and then does nothing. It's no big deal, just an additional click to close the message but I'd like to get rid of it.

Wow! You guys all think that you're listening to Iron Butterfly. Maybe I'm misreading these responses.

I don't know if this is some sort of evil Rorschach test, but ever since I've seen it I've been having nightmares.

That would really be a nice touch. I'll probably pop for this one either way.

Damn that's nice. Do the headlights work?

Please don't take any offense but I was literally taking out the trash when I came across this rogues gallery from years gone by. Enjoy?

I guess this isn't what you were looking for then.

That looks like some serious hardpan. BTW, I could swear that your hair is growing.

I believe @Christina_Girerd is also located in that neck of the woods.

While we aren't being too picky, I must say that those stools on the near end of the island look pretty sketchy to me.

Thanks for the link Jacob. Disabling automatic updates using the Local Group Policy Editor worked like a charm. I did not know you could do that there and I'm not a fan of mucking about in the Registry.

I'd bet against this one Chop. If you know a way to keep Windows 10 from updating itself I would love to hear it. Aside from being marooned on a deserted island if you are connected to the web you will be upgraded whether you like it or not.

I'm impressed Perry. Do you have Bill Gates personal number on speed dial?

Cardboard cutouts can be pretty effective if you use a good image and crop it carefully. I often use 2D images in my 3D renderings. In this example the young lady and the glass in the door are 2D images.

I don't see a single downside to using them. As I've said before here I installed a pair of Genie wall mount openers in my duplex garage and they are great. Neat and tidy.

I think u'all (I just made that up) are missing the key phrases. It was a "Limited Edition" and you were warned to get it "before it goes extinct" I have downloaded a couple of these limited editions in the past (although I didn't download this one) and they, for the most part, consist of a couple of whimsical symbols that loosely fit the edition theme. Perhaps someone who downloaded the edition will post it here. I must admit that I did find the "Messy Kitchen" edition entertaining.

Well...you might try hiring a landscaping service to clean all that brush out of the house. Just kidding. Try turning on some light sources inside the house. In this 30 second test RT I put a 150W Point light in the center of the room and it goes a long way in reducing the reflections in the windows. Some window treatments would probably help too.

Good info Moe. Maybe someday I will take a stab at organizing my User Library.

Holy Cow! The only place I've seen that style of construction is at the Colorado Supermax prison.

Will this work for you? GDW Sample.calibz

lol. I was leaning more toward Scanty_Winsor.

Not to digress but I was wondering which Jason (@jasonN or @jasonn1234) is the evil twin. Just kidding. Interesting concept though, maybe I need an alter ego to pump up my reputation.

Thanks Michael, as you know I'm usually frequenting the forums in what others would consider to be "off" hours. By the time I get to some of these posts they may have already veered significantly off topic. Undaunted I just fire off my responses.
