I wonder what my sons will watch when they will have my age , LOL

I think life will be so well simulated it will hurt when your avatar falls



Because this looks quite nice I thought I share it before I ruin it



There are 1200 non transparent strands randomly distributed by the computer. The shape of the hair is controlled by 3 nurbs patches.

dont ruin it !!!

It is very good !!

sort of seamless3d entering in pop-rock-punk ages

Thanks Alain If I only had to make Punk hairstyles life would be easy lol

This was my first attempt to cover the rest of her head the same way I added the first band of strands on the top. I quite like it but it looks rather like a furry hat to me:



A different approach to complete covering the head by adding clumps of hair one at a time which seemed to get better results but it proved time consuming making each clump fit on the scalp:



I decided instead of adding individual clumps of hair, to instead try beginning with the whole scalp planted up so as to bypass the time it takes to make each clump fit on the scalp. This picture shows 4400 strands planted randomly all over the region of Lucy’s scalp waiting to be stylised:




I thought just the parting of the hair with this new approach to form the fringe was interesting enough to share :



Here is my first real hairstyle derived from the 4400 straight strands radiating from the scalp:



Here is a variation where the fringe is broken up into spiky locks making it look more wild:

woww !!!!!





the old horse tail story was great , but this one is wonderful too !!


that remembers me too plastic pupets and their hair , just to say that we could see ,
when looking near that each hair was put on the head


btw the last pic is great

well that is just a "logo" for ome days , but I like it
( with your permission )

I was surfing , surfing , suffering , LOL

I falt here

No idea why this guy archieve all that ...
but the HairBall is very strange : 150 MO in vrml from obj !


for me the PDF paper is chinese, LOL :

I am always flattered when you want to use any of my stuff Alain

Many triangles are needed to generate this hair for Lucy. Sometimes I wish we could just use veils like this pretty Syrian girl:


http://www.travelblog.org/Photos/4341419

which looks very nice and would save on zillions of triangles

The smls files containing all the nurbs patches that define Lucy's hair is 1.6 meg in size and when output to povray the povray files are 58 meg !!!
This sounds like a krazy amount of triangles just for the hair but when I think how I only have 4400 strands of hair and the nVidia hair examples have 18000 strands rendered in real time it makes me feel justified in using this many triangles here in the West lol.

I glanced through the pdf file from your link. This hairball seems to be used as an object to test “Ray-Cast Ambient Occlusion” rendering.
This hairball is indeed a strange object, The strands look much like thin pieces of bamboo or wood and I notice many of them going through each other but what's really strange is it looks like holes are made for the bits to pass through each other. Why is this done? I do not know lol

LOL , same here in france )

Hi Alain Just to keep you updated with the progress of the new hair feature.

I have been developing a feature that allows the user to define regions so that the hair strands can be grouped for the locks. The regions can be selected and seeded with any density of strands:



Simple long straight hairstyle utilising poly regions:

thank you to let me know , Thyme
plz continue to send news , plz ,
even I am busy with school and videos nowdays ...

I must add that I didnt took time to let you know that we had probs with my server recently ,
I dont know if you saw it ,
but we will restart in 1 or 2 days , scuse ...

Sorry I missed that there was a problem with your server Alain but I know now so thanks for letting me know
I have been noticing lots of videos being uploaded to your channel.
Hope you soon get some time to enjoy life, take care dear friend

LOl yes *blushing"

but I said the truth today there , Lol

I am sorry to bore the few friends who are receiving my "subscriptions",
but I have now a new friend who is unable to view my 3d worlds , vrml, so I must make videos to have him understanding a bit my recent works. Scuse but some others will follow because 123dcatch makes me crazy since june

lol no worries Alain

Still looks better transparent but I fear is impractical for animation because of the time it would take to render all those frames:

I went to take a look at your forum, and I found that

( very funny )

I know however when I see others using seamless they do things I never would do so others will test scenarios out that have never been tested by me.

I recognized myself LOL...

Well , a question , Thyme :

How made you your forum ?? How you secured it ??

One day after I beagan a forum on my server, mixed3d.net ,
all the server had been hacked and closed by OVH.

Reason why Bertrand has still to repair it ...

I used wordpress , if I remeber well , humm not sure ...

Sorry to hear OVH closed mixed3d.net Alain, I hope it will be back online again very soon.

The reason why the new seamless3d forum does not get attacked with spam is because my brother wrote the software and so the forum code is unique (no one will know how it works). It would not be worth their time learning how it works to write spam software for it because only a handful of people would get to see the spam/advertising lol but if it did become popular enough to make it worth their time it can be re-coded to mess up their efforts

"One day after I beagan a forum on my server"

maybe the attacker write your forum developer + version + vuln (or exploit) and searched it in google and than he find how to hack it......
but its stupid to do it via google... because the good thing is learn hack it by yourself and not to wait others will do your job....
stupids...
but you are unlucky alain.... just your forum hacked..? i remember more 1 thing was hacked lol .!!

"How you secured it ??"
LOL... what you planning??? hack thyme forum???
kidding!!

yes yes i know i am out of the topic!! ok dont answer here answer in pm lol .!!

Well samd , I will be out of the topic too ,
but Thyme is patient

I pay each month for my server, and I pay each month to delete advertissments for LouiZe members.

So.... I was thinking , from time to time ,
and as we are a few now on LouiZe that it could be better to have my own forum on my own server.
(I guess the few friends could accept to move ) .

On the other hand I hope LouiZe will stay on web for ..centuries ..
because it is an excellent ressource for my bad memory.

I often retrieve stuff by typing *something* + LouiZeforum , in Google ...

On the other hand , it was not reallly for the money question,
but more to play with web, I like to try things as an amateur.

My great son Bertrand  did the job ,weeks ago  ,
and I had mixed3d.net/forum/ during ...2 days LOL
Then it had been hacked.
OVH just inform you and you have to repair all.

Bertrand did. 1 month ago.
So mixed3.net is OK now ,
but he has still to restart seamless server ,
and my smartfox ..

He is at home now because it is his birthday, LOL ,
so he will do that today ,he promised me ,  Thyme
( I write at minight +6 mn


Btw I wondered if you saw that your server was stopped, Thyme ,
but as it was my fault , I just was waiting, I didnt inform you   ...

Btw Bertrand is very busy , he is programming an excellent geo-history software


sorry to be long..


ps , yes samd , one time "mixed", on free.fr ( not my server , just a host )
had been hacked because I had some stupid *.php there
I am an amateur

ps

""How you secured it ??"

"

yes I was wondering how to secure a forum if I retry  one day to do that ,
now I know how Thyme did  

well , Bertrand restarted the seamless server but

http://mixed3d.net:7778/

says :

The Seamless3d Server is running but no worlds are open.

So I opened one ,
but I still get the same message
and

an error 10038 when i try to chat ....

and the page

http://mixed3d.net/worlds_open.php



does nothing...

I am lost , Thyme

Gosh I am afraid I have got a bit rusty on all the issues concerning the server Alain.
I am not sure how much has been reset. If the operating system has been re-installed? I am wondering if the port 7778 needs to be enabled again?

LOL I have bad memory about all that

I have your compile instructions on mixed3d.net

Quote :

To run in linux use the command line:

./seamless3d_server

and Bertrand did , and for sure your server is running there ...

and the port stays 7778 , I guess...

and I just now mailed you quickly

I just tried logging in to the seamless server using putty but am getting an access denied message so I have sent an email to Bertrand and a carbon copy of the email to you Alain.

so I just replied LOL

its incredible the number of crappy things I did in vrml , LOL

I retrieved that one , because I was searching someting about Jokar ,
from google
