Hi everyone. I am having some troubles staying connected due to the storms. So if I disappear all of sudden its due to that. Hopefully things have stabilized enough so I can post. 😀

Good Night Everyone. Take care my good friends. Peace and wuv. 😀 😀

Armada Status:

The Armada should start its exploration of The Divi Portus in the next few days. Be there if you can. 😀

A new day is upon us and I'm sure it will be a fine one for our Armada. 😀 😛

*The Armada comes upon the first views of the ancient Divi Portus deep under Antartica. All stand in awe of its ancient beauty.*

 

[milagros317]

Wow.
Great work, Kurch. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Wow.
Great work, Kurch. 😀 😛

It is very^999999999999999999999999999 nice if I do say so myself. 🙂

More tourists would come to Antarctica if they knew about it. 😀 😛

True. Unfortunately for now it must remain a secret. Mankind is not ready to access the Heavenly Realms yet I am afraid. 🙁

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

I agree, humanity is not yet ready. 🙁

Fortunately though we are lucky enough to get to see and enjoy the site. 🙂

Yes, our Armada can be trusted to do the right thing. 😀 😛

The Flying Vorpal Bunnies will make there stay here as well for now. It is a very^9999999999999999999999 safe and well guarded place. 🙂

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, the flying vorpal bunnies are wonderful and I'm so glad that they have been rescued. 😀 😛

Indeed and we must keep them safe. This is why this is a good place for them for now. 🙂

How long did it take to create that wonderful graphic, Kurch? 😀 😛

How long did it take to create that wonderful graphic, Kurch? 😀 😛

A day to make. About half a day to render. 🙂

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Very nice work.
That's a long time to render.
😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Very nice work.
That's a long time to render.
😀 😛

reflections and transparent items take a long time to render and transperent reflective stuff take a loooooooooooooooong looooooooooooong time time to render. 😛

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Thanks for the explanation, Kurch. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Thanks for the explanation, Kurch. 😀 😛

You are most welcome. Most 3d programs compute where the light rays go and when they need to get refracted and/or reflected it makes the calculations much more difficult.

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Yes, I can understand that. 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Yes, I can understand that. 😀 😛

I tend to use lots of refraction and refelction though cause I think it adds cool effects. 😀
