i sorta haven't thought about this one 4 awhile`...

As simple as that is, it took a while to get it right as the glass would create as much shadow as the doors - the lighting would be way too bright or way too dark, and I wanted different amounts of shadowing based on the locations of the lights.. I mostly did this to learn more about 'how' lighting worked in Blender...
And I hadn't looked back at this myself until I decided to make the poll....

yes i thought it was for a lite study - i like it - the play of the lites & shadows
as it were `...

I really did like the results from that -- That was on the WinXP computer that crashed so I unfortunately no longer have the Blender file (or Dream Office would have been create in that space...

oh , bummer - u no back up ? - on Screensavers they did say u should
back up - alright then `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was made within the last 'backup' time.... so no ... if the computer had crashed just a day later...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
alright - thats' one of the things 'bout back ups `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, and when yoou doinng backups that are 4GB each week you really don't want to have to do them more often...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes and that another thing about it `...

I probably lost about 30 images, and parts of two projects when it crashed...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes not cool - and those items are gone then - i lost some - i wasn't doing a regular back up neither `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If I had not been doing regular backups, I can't even imagine how much I'd have lost...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But, that is why doing backups is so important...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes anyone thats' lost stuff knows why , i think - people who don't want 2 lose stuff should think they R '`...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I started doing back ups after I lost a whole hard drive (that was years ago...) and have fairly well done weekly updates since then...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes i can see why - i think that would cause most people 2 do those
back ups `...

It was also the when I started mostly using Linux as that was a Win98 system...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes Linux is more stable than Wins {if thats' the reason} - i used 98SE hear of
recent , some anyways `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of all the Windows - 98SE was probably the best - ME probably the worst (although it was mostly 98SE coding )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes i've used ME some (one of my relatives had it) - i 'd like to go to
XP Pro `...

My wife has XP pro but it's on a 'slower computer' and it has a tiny HDD so I can't put anything on it --- and she blames me for the other XPs crashing... (quote - all your damn games and drawing programs wrecked the computer....)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes i see - your stuff didn't wreck the computer did it?? `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no it was a Bios attacking virus == it attacked the Master Boot Record and the Bios....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes i kinda didn't think it was your stuff `
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Typically programs aren't what causes crashes... it can't happen again though, (even if I have an XP computer running) as I have a firewall on the modem, the router, and the computer, and all computers in the house are now BIOS locked (ie it takes a password to change any BIOS settings)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes the good news then - i thought u had an XP one or was that it - `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, my wife has a WinXP Pro computer (for school work), then there is my youngest daughters Kubuntu Linux, my oldest daughters Kubuntu Linux (not currently running correctly {hardware issues - ie possibly bad HDD}), and finally there is a WinME computer that needs some serious 'clean up' as it's probably the worst files system I've ran across in my life...(not online at the moment cause I'm lazy and haven't put the wireless card into it yet...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so then u do have an XP one - now i just need 2 know how to put in a power
supply `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My wifes XP computer is working (very barebones XP Pro with a massive firewall/virus scanner and BIOS lock)
My oldest daughters computer is the one with the issues, as it has something not right about recognizing it's HDD... but only sometimes.... and sometimes while it's up and running....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes , that seems sorta weird - how can it run with "no" HD `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is the oddest issue I've ever run across with any of my computers.... for that matter any computer that I've ever worked on...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah one of the oddest i've heard of `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've got to try to get it running long enough for me to burn a couple of CDRs worth of data....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well does it usually run that long - maybe it will `...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, unfortunately it tends to only run for a few minutes after starting any applications - if I leave on the desktop or just browse the file structure it last about 20 minutes before it starts acting strange.

oh unfortunate then - i don't know`

Markopolio and I are already discussing how to create a very concise set downloadable PDF book on Blender (of course I'll have to finish learning all of the 'ins and outs' of Blender to finish it - but I think we can work out a good 1st edition in a few months time.)
