  • Thanks Wayii.

  • Recovering okay.  I did a lot of sleeping the first couple of days.  Been off the percocets since yesterday morning, since the pain is perfectly manageable with normal dosages of motrin now. 

    Stuck on room temperature liquids (will be for a week) -- mostly water, Ensure and cool mash potato soup (home made organic mashed potatoes with cream, salt and garlic powder in a blender LOL).

    Got a little walk last evening.  Made me feel a little less spacey, but was kinda pushing things.  Prolly try another tonight just to alleviate that whole restlessness problem.
  • Glad to hear things are going well. Restlessness is something I'm all to familiar with.

  • "Tumbling along with the tumbling tumbleweeds"  (We need some musical notes here)
    Driving down the highway when a 4' to 6' diameter Russian Thistle decides that it's time to cross the road is a bit startling.
  • FOr those interested, Stonemason's working on another set. WIP thread: http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=184868&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
  • Interesting!

    and...four to six FEET of tumbleweed? Yikes!

  • And Stonemason's returning to that odd forest scene. It's as if he either reuses a bit of something else he's made for another project (outside of DAZ ken) and thinks, "Hey, this is interesting. I'll just give them this bit of stuff here that we didn't use, they'll like it." As in, it seems to have a context that I cannot grasp.

    Which may be indicative of my powers of comprehension...!

    Mind you, I'm putting my words in his mouth because I would do something similar. For all I know, there's a great deal of contemplation goes into these curious compositions.

    Most are smaller but, yes, they can get that big. And when they pile up against a barbed wire fence somebody better come by and clear them away or eventually the wind pushing on the mass will bring the fence down. Huge piles of them also are quite a fire hazard. I've seen photos taken in this area where the wind blew dozens of them into a huge pile that came up to the rafters on a garage or other building. Those piles MUST be dealt with or a spark will cause a huge poof incident.
  • Interesting...you go to that model by asking for things in .lxo (Modo) format and it's $39. Pretty and modern! But that would be so much fun to model, why buy? ;)

    So how do you cope with a rafter-high batch of tumbleweed? You can't sweep it away, it'll come right back...unless you gift it to someone downwind...

  • I think they haul them off to a place where they can be safely burned. There are one or two people around here who have machines for making wood pellets (the kind you burn in a pellet stove) and they dump tumbleweeds in them. Supposed to make a decent batch of pellets.
  • Now, making firewood out of them, that's the perfect use! :)

  • I love a lot of the Stonemason sets, but my biggest complaint is that it's all one giant obj file, and with some scenes that I just need like a corner or bench, but yet I have to load the entire thing! Is it hard to make individual props I wonder? Or is that just his personal style?

    I just think that's how he rolls.  Others are far better about giving you easily manageable bites to work from.  Jack (Tomalin) and John (The Antfarm) come immediately to mind.
  • You could turn off bits of the larger Stonemason sets or delete the pieces from the scene for the big props. Or hide them--that's the intent, you're supposed to know that.

    On the other hand, I see a trend toward little setlets which are less useful and you can't really clomp together into any sort of continuity.

    Really, Antfarm's Neverworld is some of the best of both worlds! And he puts good fiddly bits into his work. Coflek-gnorg's older work before he started on "miniatures" was like that, only gritty and scifi, perfect for cyberpunk.

    raining and windy...

    thanks for the invite. the art here is great. i can post something older of mine
    but i don't render so my art is 2d and mixed mediums...

    /me waves back!

    old winmx chatroom habits never die...

    when i'm not quite so freezing i'll hunt up what i rescued from the demise of my previous gallery on the stol, err, the removed artzone, which i spent hours
    saving last month...

  • {{hugs ladyfur}} I was lurking over on the Complaint Thread and was hoping you could save your stuff. I'm just too inexperienced to have been any help.

    in a knot over me for some reason...

    i dared post the lyrics to, 'hoist the colours'... i be thinkin' it irked him, arrrrrrr!

  • oooh, the person who posted just before me, up there ^^^, him. is that who i think it is? the one who made really pretty buildings? his avatar picture looks familiar. i'm pretty sure that's not stonemason, and i can't remember who antfarm is... if that is the one who made those beautiful buildings, i just want to say how neat they are... :)
    ~^..^~ ladyfur

    Heh thanks! I joined up here a few weeks back - then got snowed under with work.  Just about reached the surface again but half expecting another avalanche.

    Hope everyone here is doing ok though.
