Q-Tips

I just came from Alta City after working there for a few days. But your Alta looks for shure much better. Will be nice to see more of it.

Nofunk : Thanks, you are right. I checked about resized the UVW map. And i think that might be the reason. About the number of texture i am using ; i might hav more numbers than needed, since i uploaded same taxture severall times. Cause i did the texture while modeling. Guess i have to be more careful for next project.

I couldnt agree more than i do about this. By using Windows Vista it gets even worse compared to XP when it comes to installer. I think i have to press "Allow, Next, Agree" about 10-12 times before i could download one single file. When i got a new computer, i lost some files and had to download over again much of what i got before. Could you imagine how it is downloading 70 installers at once. That would need 700 clicks at the mouse. And on top of that, Vista is not so kind about the installer and start asking me if the file was downloaded correctly. I was beat up in my mouse finger, and had to give some days rest. But the worst is all the dependencies. You try get all of them, but are unlucky to miss a few. So you starts getting building who then look terrible after missing something. So then you have to start find out what file it is, so you can delete it. And that aint easy either in the jungle of files and folders. You might think you dont have this dependencies, and download it, yust to find out you already downloaded an newer version, so you end up with to much. Even how much i try, it feels almost impossible to get it all right.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but i could not find anything about it. And i really are confused about this problem : I recently uploaded a building to this site, but found now that many small details are missing. Details such as curtains, grafittis and bilboard are moving to a new position everytime i make a preview or export. So sometimes curtains are in between the windows. I have not moved the building in any way. Another problem is the texture who keeps getting blank all the time. The texture looks ok when i work with it, but not in preview. Not all part of the building are connected with each other. Could it be that there are to many parts? Does Gmax have a limit on how many texture it can have?

I'm getting a new computer. And are willing to pay some more than the cheepest one, if i know its worth it. I have been looking around, and there is so much to choose from. So i wonder what you would buy, if you where me. The computer will be used for both office work and games. Whats best between Intel and AMD processors? And what about the RAM. There so many different prices, even if it have same memory capacity. I guess it have something to do with speed on RAM. As you can see, i dont know much about it.

This is another building i am working with. It is just called "G". Thats why the G in the store windows. I am not happy with the textures on the walls and roof. There is also some details such as a little bit more roof junk to add. I am also thinking to put something behind the store windows. its actually the fifth wood building i am working with. I am on my way to Riga for a week, so i dont think you will see anymore before i am back. I was also thinking about taking some photos of Riga buildings while i am there, its actually a nice city, so it could be ok to have.

Maybe i am talking out of my ass. And maybe you are a real sarcastic one. Of course i could use all evening find statistics and numbers. Its actually amazing all things you can proof with numbers. But sorry, i realy dont botter. All i wrote was from first hand information and experience working with this and being there many numbers of times.

What about all the ones who got sick and died while building the containment building? or the 1000s of people who got cancer later on that lived in that area? or the ones that will later who still live in contaminated areas? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4917526.stm But you are correct that it was human error and bad design, and also about 3 mile island it worked as designed. quote> There were 30 odd members of the public who died, and about another 30 odd workers who died by participating in the clean up operation. I think the total death toll of Chernobyl was 75. Yes, that includes thyroid cancer. Your source is Greenpeace, mine is the UN WHO. edit: make that 56 people total - http://www.uic.com.au/nip22.htmquote> This is correct. There wasnt many who died right after the disaster. Well... If we should belive the old Sovjet Union's official numbers. But what the reports often forget is that more than half of all people participating in the resque where injured by radiation. And even if there is not many who died of cancer directly connected to radiation, the population living in that region have serious health problems today. The number of people getting cancer is two times higher than what's normal. But it is cancer who caused by unknown reasons. The average age is dramaticaly lower than normal. (54 years for men). Ukraine, where Chernobyl is didnt recive much radiation. Due to the wind blowing north, it was Belarussia who got most of damage. This have caused serious economical problems for Belarussia. And due to bad health care, there is no good statistics over how many who have died. And i dont think it ever will.

Yes, the HDDVD or BD drive was shurly no cheap thing. The lowest price they had was a Sony Blu-Ray BWU for 1020$. It would be nice to have, but its not worth the price. About XP : They do produce the English version, but getting the Norwegian was not possible. So i decided to go for Windows Vista. I ordered and payed for a new computer today. And i expect to have it 22 th May. And this is what i will get : - Apevia X-Cruiser X-CRUISER-BK Tower - Fortron/Source Epsilon 600W power suply. - MSI P965 NEO-F, P965, Socket-775, ATX, SATAII, GbLAN, DDR2, PCI-Ex16 - Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 2.67GHz Socket LGA775, 8MB - Gainward GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 Graphics card. - Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 2x2GB RAM, 800 MHZ memory Speed. - 1 Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA 16MB 10000RPM Hardrive. - 1 Samsung SpinPoint T166 320GB SATA2 16MB 7200RPM Hardrive. - 1 Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 250GB USB2.0 Extern Hardrive. - LG DVD-burner GSA-H42L IDE Black OEM LightScribe. - Creative SB X-Fi Gamer, Bulk I bought no speakers or screen since i am happy with what i already have. There is one thing i am curious about, and that is the processor. The Intel Core Extreme was way to expensive and i was going to buy the second best version (Intel Core 2 Duo E6700) who is cheaper, when the salesman told me that they had this demo who they could sell me for half the price. No varanty on it since it was a demo. But with a two week return policy if i am not satisfied. Thanks for all good advice. I actually learned much.
