Been spending rather a lot of time in C4D these days working on modelling, lighting, texturing... One can only do so much in Photoshop... and I've

been doing it.. a loooong time... or so it feels...

So.....thought I would venture into 3D again for another WB.... Post work in PS.

I'm thinking along the lines of an upscale, contemporary, plush apartment in a modern Metropolis. Stainless steel fixtures..mood lighting.. et ceteraB)

For Windows 7.

Will post more as I go.

i Loooooove lighting....  :inlove:

Cheers... and thx to Snowman and Doc for their critiques....and the WB name.  'Perfect' :smitten:

Well, from talking to John his PC is somewhat fixed (had a bad RAM stick)... but he had to reformat and reinstall Windows 7, so now he has to do all the software reinstalling! :S

He's already spoken to yrag Jim, and he does have backups I believe, just doing things fresh this time is all.

Don't hold your breath though or the WB wont be the only thing with blue as the main color. :D

 

That must have been one BAD stick of RAM to require a reformat. I'm happy to hear you are on the road to recovery. :thumbsup:

Well, it was narrowing it down that was the most work and time.. it just ended UP being the RAM.

As far as the reformat goes.. I had a new drive and did the new install on a different drive to make sure it wasn't my old drive that was the issue.

Wasn't really a re-format, was a completely new install and subsequent full install of all my stuff.

Now the old drive.. is an extra backup.

Maybe the SSD fairy will visit me next life !! :moon: :thumbsup:

Plus your current motherboard doesn't support SATA III, a requirement for an SSD to be an advantage buddy. :thumbsup:

 That is what I think, or at least thought. I'll be putting SATAII SSD/SATAII mobo vs. SATAII platter drive to the test soon. Stay tuned.

Yeah, I just found out a few minutes ago on eBay that Intel made SATA II SSD's, so I just bought me a couple of new 160GB drives at a damn good price! Did not have to buy a new motherboard at least. Going to revamp my storage layout and do fresh installs, and then backups of course! Dual boot Windows 7/8 (with Start 8 of course). :)
