Just dropping a line to update everyone!!
« on: February 28, 2007, 09:26:46 am »
Hi all,
   Just to let everyone know that I am still around.Been working on a star background, I got a plugin that draws the stars from the catalog for each frame but have had no success getting it to look good. Seem like there is a shortage of graphic functions that I can use in CS. Also this is very expensive in FPS.
   So I am planning on tring to get imagemagick working and create a normal skybox using 6 meterials. 
   I started a job so I dont have nearly as much time to spend on this as I did but I am still plugging away. Anyway , would be interested in hearing what everyone else is up to and any suggestions on how to make stars look good. 

Regards

hi,
   Just want to let you all know the reason I'v not been about lately, I been having computer problems. First my DVD drive stopped working , when i was trying to see what was wrong with that the HDD drive that holds my "home" dir got a bad superblock, and to cap it all my telephone company decided it was a good time to disconect my phone for a week. so been having a bad 2 weeks regarding computers.
   Hopefully I will be able to recover my HDD as I have a lot of stuff setup on that drive and would be a real pain to set it all up again. luckly the code i been working on is on the svn server so that should be ok. anyway, I should be back up and running sometime next week(when I get the time to fix my ubuntu setup).

Regards

Wow, that sucks hard. What was wrong with the superblock - depending on the partition type and the tools, you may be able to fix it, or at least salvage the rest of the data from the drive.

Yay for SVN though, right?
