Re: PAPA SMURF TO START SOME "LIGHTING" HOW-TO'S, IN SEPTEMBER!

WOW! This is awesome, more than I hoped for! I like to keep it fun and interesting, but to really understand "why" this stuff works, there is some "hard science and math" involved. Most guys my age go screaming down the hallway, if they are told they need to learn something else. By then, the brain rejects even the concept of any "more stuff". Awwright.............just kiddin..well..sort of............... ;D

Let's consider this, a post by me showing simple application. Then, a follow up post, we can call it the "advanced" concept follow-up, for those interested.

Grendel, Oh High Lord of mischievous behavior, we can discuss, via pm or phone, a few preliminary points, so we make sense....somehow, and are "in tune" with what we both post.

I'm thinking late September, possibly mid-October, before the big E is finished, and I get back to a less demanding time schedule.This project looks like it's going to only be a few weeks short of a year, to finish.

BTW: can you post pictures on this forum, or is strictly link? I moderated at IPMS for about a year, and at first you could post images, then they came up with the dreaded, "quota"! Aaaaargh.............Once your limit was reached, it was links only. Well, I can live with that, but images are a lot more fun in my book. IPMS has some great members, but it's a bit too tightly structured (and just a tad "right-wing") now, so I split.

I'm still very much a newbie here, and have not looked around much. Most forum interfaces are pretty much the same, but there are some different things on each one I've been to. I've thought about doing my own forum once or twice, but it's a lot of work, so kudos to Scott and his guys, this is a very well developed one.

It's really great if we can get the "lighting" guys all in one area, and show how easy (sometimes) and effective lighting is in any model display. I now build only lighted models for clients, no one asks for static versions anymore. It's the "eye candy" that really gives the display that "zing" that's so satisfying!

Sorry for babbling on, but yes! I would like some other input on this, that's what a forum is all about, interaction, learning from other members, it can really be a very positive thing for all.

So let's keep "brainstorming" here, and make this as cool and new as possible.

Later! ;D
