Well back from my iray learning experience for now. Have to figure a way to edit the emotiplane.cr2 to create some of my own add ons like the sub and train. It was an attempt to improve the gender appearances. For the moment I hope to make a sports pack update that would make the package good for emotigirl. I have begun to put the ideas together and successfully created a Shemotiplane with about 3 hrs of editing, trying, and re-editing.... about 14 files later I was able to render a correct version.

What a day... I was mad about the maps in the product I sold to them. It seems the master copy of the emotiguy that I found was not corrected to the guy/girl master copy I have now. I am now in the process of making a revisit to the sports pack and make it both genders so it will be a make maps work this week. I toyed with an iray tonight to make a teaser. The original renders had an odd pink stripe on the girl and after researching, found the problem and a fix that seems to work... with all the political correct going on these days, it is time for the girl to enter the sports field as well.
'Here is the results of today's work with the fixes in place. It is an iray teaser.

Don't laugh, I still have one, though it's not quite that old. ;) I'd get rid of it, but I have too many vinyl records I can play on it.

When I was about 14, I got to work on a cabinet Victrola which had the horn built into the cabinet. Fixed some of the brasswork and polished the 5 needles they had with emery eraser. Got a single sided record about 1/4 inch thick for the time spent. The record... Sousa's march directed by John Sousa ... I gave it to my mother as a birthday present. Well I bit the bullet and started with the new sportspack mats. Since I have learned to use displacement and bump I will have more maps than before and hopefully improve the pack while adding emotigirl. Indents look good and no offset to the pattern. No extra line where the 2 halves meet. I think that I will leave the stitching for later today and get some sleep. hi sky... thanks for the links.

quiet week. Hi all wife and I had a fair week and stayed in from the heat. Doc visit on her blood thickness next week and mother's day celebration on Sunday coming up. Emailed the powers that be on the emotigirl and emotiguy fix for the sportspack with maps fixed... low interest but I guess it is just in my nature to fix it anyway and will probably put the fixes in a freebie pack that works if you have all three emotiguy/emotigirl/and sportspack. I guess the superemoti pack is my best bet for a real package. I hope all is well for everyone.

good midnight visit. Had a great day with the kids and Deb loved the visit. Fighting a migraine tonight and so far it is winning... fistful of tylenol and a cola perhaps I can now get the upper hand. Blood check tomorrow for Deb.. Keeping the fingers crossed. Have a great week all.
