Hi Richard, yeah great link, great artist, great web page. MARK

Hi Christian Great stuff I love seeing the different ways people are using EiAS . Thanks for answering the call to arms , I come on the forum at least a couple of times each day to see if anythings happening that creates that feeling , of man what a great program look what these talented people can do with this program and some imagination and some hard work , that is at the same time so much fun . I hope to soon see a change in the way people feel about posting. That they want to share. That on one needs to say. Please post people. I thought twice about posting that post because I don't want be a pain , but at the same time I want people to show they love this program , that they , are not consumed with the , we need this or we need that , but they are happy that such a great program is here to allow them to create their dreams. The EI community needs to show more life, to attract more people to the cause. Things need to be more positive and less negative. I know Tomas, Igors and their team are going to do their part , so lets do ours!!!!!! Thanks again for posting Mark

Hi Ian Is this cause in my network setting is set to automatic? So I have to set it to manual set the settings and then they would stop switching . Sorry I don't understand this networking stuff. I barely got the airport that connects to cable running at the time I set it up, so I don't like messing with its settings. I'll have to look at all the stuff about networking in apple help Thanks Mark

Hi to all Keep the flow going!!!! Still only 20 users out of 150 have posted to EIAS artworks. There was some energy created lately. Keep it going, post something . Are you out there? Help !!!! Can you hear me? Do it. You know, you want to. Just do it.

Hi different times when I start the slaves they start with a different port number then the one I assigned . I set them for 10.0.1.3:1616 , so on then some other time I start the slaves they are set to 10.0.1.2:1616 . This mean renderama doesn't communicate with slaves so I have to delete slaves and add them back with new number. These are the 2 numbers that are alternating . Is there a way to get the ports to stay the same all the time. I'm on a Mac OSX10.5.8 Thanks Mark

Hi Guys thanks for your answers. I kind of thought that might be what they were for, but never recall hearing , it was so. Mark

Hi Why do I have copies of shaders that have LW in front of name. Thanks Mark

Hi Michel as far as I know amorphium doesn't run at this time on newer versions of OSX. I saw the post on old forum saying its going to be fixed but Phil said he didn't have a time frame when . At one time they said it wasn't going to be fixed at all . So when I heard it was going to be fixed I was happy to see that, So have you actually heard something new on this other then that one post. Thanks Mark Hi you don't see the place to add attachment , if you do quick reply, only if you click add reply then you'll see it when that screen comes up.

Happy Birthday Tomas Mark

Hi Michel I'm the wrong one to ask about some tech stuff cause you probably Know more then me . My level of knowledge is I click the add attachment button and post. Sorry I'm no help , hope you get it figured out so you can post. Anyone got any suggestions! Mark

Hi BILL looks really good to me from modeling to illumination Thanks for posting , still wish more people would get in here and show their work. It gets the energy flowing. Mark

Hi FelixCat yeah I was thinking that might be the case. I was also thinking maybe just opening the pict file in photoshop and saving it back out might fix the problem haven't tried yet. Mark That didn't work says empty file

Hi nice Render and work around Mark

Hi Richard thanks for the answer this is the first time I looked at this plugin and had no clue why it was not working. Thanks your the answer man !!! Mark

Hi Richard thanks I wonder which one it could be it will take a little effort to track it down. Mark Hi Guys the one causing the problem is called Ocean_Optics_21 is this something I can get update of I looked in my version 7 disk and it wasn't in there. Thanks Mark

Hi Igors thanks for response I'll have to check that out . Thanks Mark

Hi ASH thanks for high res version it looks even more amazing . Mark

Hi Scott its great, totally different from others posts so far. thanks for posting , I have heard guys say that they can't show their work a lot of times because of clients wishes , that sucks! Mark

Hi the clean ship shots are really good. I really like Them. Mark

Hi the thread about materials started by Buggsy got me going through all the shaders messing with the settings and rendering shots. It made me realize since I had moved to my new machine I had not moved the material settings that came with Mforge and NX shaders into the materials folder so It made me also explore the materials both standard and Third party materials so THANKS BUGGSY . Now my question for today anyone having a problem with the Shader Variance Editor every time I try to open it it causes animator to quit is this happening to anyone else . I'm on Intel Mac OS 10.5.8 EIAS version 8 Thanks for any feedback on this MARK

Hi Juanxer Super work including music great . Thanks for posting Hey Tomas this is the second thread with the convert to PNG QT suggestion. Who knew this fact without your help thanks Tomas Mark

Hi Ross thanks for posting . I feel we need more people posting and I like the idea of posting Quick knock off stuff just as much as more polished things where more time was spent. The fins on top remind me of the cars from the 50s . Something needs to be done to make it set in to background better it looks like it just sitting on top of picture. Again Thanks for posting hope to see more. Mark

Hi I just started to learn blender where they have the section called{ every material known to man } where people post pictures of and settigs to create various materials . as far as how you could set up capturing your materials .mov out into single jpgs I have know idea. The over all idea is of interest , just the how, is the question. Mark
