im not playing mine is bigger then yours with you.
because i don´t care what you think about me.

Well I'm sorry that you see it that way. I was really interested. Not trying to to put you down. I'm sorry that you feel you need to be defensive... I was not trying ot attack you.

long john...some how you manage to turn this constructive tread into another lame one......congrats.


@photonC:
that is EXACTLY the problem...LJ does not report any specific/techincal problems or uses constructive critisizm.....he just says.."DR doesn't work here...DR doen't work there"...and more bit*ching like that....just a lot of complainting about "things not working".....what ever that might mean.....

he's just a damn Troll that likes to provoke others.......not usefull at all...

and I agree w/ Chris....I'd like to see he's credenitals/experience as well.....it's not about a "mine is bigger then yours" game.....we just wanna see if he really knows what he's talking about or whether he's just a kiddy w/ nothing much to do.....which by the amount of time he spends here complaining would seem like that is the case..

Like MANY MANY others here, I'm just tired of his complaining and useless wining.....it doens't solve anything......unless it is constructive...

paul.

If he is a troll as you say just do what many other forums do about trolls ignore him, also Moderators should take care of that kind of users not any of us.

Even if I don't post very often I come here eveyday and notice this kind of situation that doesn't benefit the forum at all, if people let get dragged into this kind of situation sonner or later it ends up in name calling and insults.

Just my two cents.

P.S. Asking for credentianls dosn'tmake any sense tomeif he is a customer he should receive attention no matter where he worksor what he does,tthat justs concerns to Chaos Group guys.

this "long john" is wasting the time of vray users worldwide.
many artists visit this great board daily to get vray information.

they all have to read through this useless "long john" posts to get to the important parts of the threads.

please remove him from the board.

As a paying customer, Long Johnys got a voice.
But I find it funny he still stick with Vray after all
these complaining. Save the energies - buy a
a new renderer!

wow.
now i'm famous

how do ya guys delete this thing?

to LongJohn:

Last time you were reporting bugs in a more friendly manner which I think Chaos and many people appreciated a lot more then what you are doing now again and again. And more importantly, it helped to track down a couple of bugs as well. I just don't understand what it helps you to be so negative everytime, even now that vray makes a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks with many updates.
And you keep saying that you did not ask for fur, plane domelight and lightmap, while on the other hand you don't mention the fact that displacement is a lot better and that you can render much more complex scenes in 1.46.xx.

This is not fanboy talk, it is just a way to look at things. The betaversion has a lot more positive things in it then your perception alows

Why do we eat vegetables?

This is a question that would never be asked of fruit. Fruit is sweet. We love sweet things. We love to eat fruit. But vegetables can be bitter, and apart from carrots and sweet potatoes, they are generally not sweet.

How is it, then, that we came to eat vegetables? Partly, it is 'hardwired' into us. For good body efficiency reasons.

Basically, we are an evolutionary line from a group of mammals that, from about 65 million years ago until around 50 million years ago were small insectivores, but which evolved to fill tree top vegetable-matter (foliage, fruit, tree seeds, or mixed vegetation based diets) eating niches, while still eating insects whenever we could (chimpanzees , orang-utans, gorillas, gibbons, and the siamang - all apes - eat insects).

Gorillas probably branched out earlier from the ape human ancestral line and so their life way gives us fewer insights into our ancestry (they probably went their separate way around 8 million years ago). Mountain gorillas, in particular, are primarily foliage eaters, consuming large amounts of pithy stems, buds, leaves and shoots. These foods are low in energy density, and gorillas have to eat a lot of plant material to meet their energy needs. They are now fairly specialized vegetation eaters.

Vegetables rock!

I plan on creating a religion based off of this post. All the hollywood celebrities are gonna jump on it I just know...

Please continue, I have an entire Bible to create

Hehehe, ok Big Guru Percy. Here goes :

Chimps, which have more recently diverged from our ancestral line (generally estimated at around 4.5 million years ago), are more likely to reflect at least some of our ancestral food preferences. Chimps don't seem to tolerate grossly fibrous food as well as gorillas. They chew leaves into a "wadge', and press the wadge against their teeth to extract the juicy parts, then spit out the fibrous residue. Chimps prefer insects and meat where it is available in their environment, but in their (primarily) forest environment it is not commonly available. Succulent piths - carefully peeled of the tough exterior - blossoms, fruit, shoots, and leaves are the mainstay (around 95%) of their diet, with insects, eggs, and monkey meat opportunistically thrown in as and when available.

Even limited omnivory is a conservative adaptive trait, and even in the great apes, which have put 'all their eggs in one evolutionary basket', so to speak, retain the ability and desire to eat insects (and eggs!).

We eat vegetables because, while we intensively exploit ground based and shoreline animal protein and fats, we share massive amounts of our genetic profile with our related plant food subsisting apes (some scientists assert the genetic similarities are so overwhelmingly great that chimpanzees, the ape genetically 'closest' to us, ought to be classified as a species of human), and we are therefore genetically 'programmed' to exploit plant food as part of the primate omnivorous capabilities.

...to be continued and printed and spread worldwide!

Oh and, needless to say, but VRay really ROCKS!

As he states before he sticks with this renderer because his boss is cheap and don't want to pay more for some other render engine, besides consider the costs of implementing a completely new workflow as well as the learning curve of a new rendering system.

Uh well that shoudn't be to much of a problem cost wise cause Valdo has said before to a couple people that do nothing but bitch at him and Peter that if they are that unhappy with V-Ray then they can get a refund and go elsewhere.
