Take two Motrin and call me in the morning…(smile). Honestly I do not
remember what I've uploaded or quite where but you can find anything I have
using the keyword "klammer" in the libraries. I have found that some of my
avi's are a little too large for the speed of my 2400 modem. so I cancelled in
the middle…don't know if the first half makes it to the lib.
You know it is frustrating to be labeled Guenuis from early on in life and find
the only useful thing the IQ does is to remind me how really stupid I am.
(smile)
heheh I have allergies too but I think I'll not devulge my secret overthe
counter formula. Right now I think it need a little salt. (grin) Whew, I hate
root canals..I honestly asked my dentist to yank them all out…but nooooo! But
she does a real good job and they doo look pretty.
Terry are you in charge of the cd project?
Reguardless Anything I upload is public domain as far as I'm concerned. Would
you like a multimedia sketchbook? Hmm a virtual TS art gallery of my early
works on paper might be nice…Faces lots of faces superimposed on each other
of the same person (per image that is). Let's see i'll have floating cubes
slowing rotating and each facet shall have a different drawing. Now that should
test the limits of my ram! (chuckle)
I am thinking of building a face from scratch using TS and I have tried a few
times with some dissapointment of my ability to do so. I tried using the
primatives the first few times (mind you these were all half-hearted play
arround efforts) but found that method rather tedious. I halve since purchased
aninexpensive trackball and find that it has better controll for this type of
work for me. I have been practicing like made my spline technieques and am
getting to the point when I can product a fair likeness of anything I concieve.
Then comes the new territory …navigating 3-d (an I thought I wanted to be an
astronaut!). Because I am a bit dyslexic changing the x-y-z- switches slows me
down a bit however the trackball seems to make this process easier. I think my
mouse was shot.
I seem to have a problem with the primative when editing vertices like to do a
cut-off I have trouble distinguishing whether I am in forground or background
and miss many of the vertices or points that I thought I was selecting. Perhaps
if the background points would be a different color, I would be less likely to
miss the tchosen target. However I also know that practise makes perfect and
that I will get very much better as time goes on. (Whew)
Anyway I am happy to know that I have spread cheer and flattered that at my age
to be called enthusiastic (your asking me? sp? HA!) I really thought I had
toned down. hehehe Now I am wondering if I'll be hyper at 90. Take your time
answering, I have lots and I understand what goes on behind the scenes of
serenity.
always a pleasure to chat,
