    In other words dynamics are simulations in which items react to force over time, force being mathematically speaking an attractor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor. Hair and cloth sims use multiple attractors - gravity and wind. Mojoworld uses strange attractors derived from fractional geometry theory ;) The Lorenz attractor makes groovy curves http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_attractor. There are many many variables to be computed in a dynamic simulation, which accounts for the insane calculation times even with modern multiprocessor platforms . A decent hires fluid sim will take days to render, multiple forces suck up an outrageous amount of ram.

    Naah, we lost 2 of our 3 A/C units last night so I stayed off the laptop. Landlady has an electrician coming in today to look into it.


    Hot n muggy, feh.

    Tomorrow is a holiday and I'm going to spend it all rendering and cooking chicken! W00t!


    Should only be 95f today, and overcast. I have to shop on the way home since the stores will all be closed (except for the 7-11, but that's only good for emergency supplies and beer).


    Meeting Day, blech. First one is in 10 minutes, then before lunch, then mid-afternoon. Urgh.


    Have a good day everyone! :coolsmile:

    Beer is an emergency supply :lol:


    i'm rethinking naming Samson, Samson. according to this ancient thingee they found, Samson tied torches to foxes tails. that's animal cruelty.

    It is the combo that is really killing me. Hot, and then there's the brace. Which needs a rewrap in an hour or so, and I gotta pester SO to help with it, 'cause I can't do it one-handed.

    Hmm, World Machine looks pretty good. I wonder how it compares to Vue and Carrara?


    Might have to give the free edition a try. :)

    @Wist: geesh, and in the Summer too? What the heck?


    2-1/2 hours until I can leave! then grocery shopping (beer, chicken thighs, teriyaki sauce, crushed ginger, SriRacha sauce) and home! I'm making DRAGON THIGHS for dinner tomorrow night! :snake:


    Slow day - lots of folks taking off early, and even more out Thursday and Friday. I'll be working, since no workee means no mayyyy-e.


    Due to the dryness, they're temporarily banned certain kinds of fireworks from sale. It's not horrible but it's not all that safe, either. And we *don't* need more fires!!


    Ice cream sounds good - wonder if they make sugar-free? I'll check at the grocery store!


    *edit* Been reading up on PPro 2010's AO and IBL.. so cool! More to play with! :)

    World Machine on it's own isn't much - great terrains but very barren. The pic I posted was a person going over how to make the most out of both Vue and WM by making a procedural terrain in Vue, exporting it into WM, eroding it with WM's superior-to-Vue's erosion abilities, then re-importing the final result into Vue.
    .
    .
    So I'd say it doesn't much compare to, but more is designed as a companion to.

    Ok, that makes sense.. looks like a great tool for generating detailed height maps.

    That video. If only it were in higher quality. But those lizard are just so damn cute! and big :3
    They don't even pay attention to the feeding dish but really want to be around that guy.
    I think its pretty cool and unusual to see such behaviour from reptiles.
    .
    And a pic that was inspired by it (And really, they were climbing all over him. And apparently it was late summer and really hot, so no they were not cold.)

    I went to the grocery store and bought bunch of food. I forgot to get bottled water. Maybe in a bit I can go to the nearest Food Lion and pick up a case of water. I have to check their hours.

    I did manage to get a bunch of cans of sodas though.

    The eel-like monster from Disney's Hercules. I liked this (big) guy - he was cute.

    I am back from my second trip to a grocery store today. I forgot to get bottle water in the first trip so I got it in the second trip. I also got some bbq boneless wings which are good once warmed up. great that one is still cold, better go back to the microwave for a bit.

    I cannot drink a can of diet cheerwine right now as it as caffeine and It is almost 9 pm. Not sure if the sleepy medicine will counter act the caffeine. So my choices are siera mist, caffeine free diet dr pepper or caffeine free dark cherry soda (I think)

    I also have the choice of drinking water or milk or chocolate milk.
