Good morning.

 

[DanaTA]

Missed it again! Good afternoon.

Dana

 

[Terre]

Didn't miss it by much.

 

[DanaTA]

It was a good afternoon, too! It got up to 63 F! Tropical after last week!

It reached the mid 70's here today...it was wonderful after being in a deep freeze for so long. This whole week will be like that. Wish it was an early spring, but it's due to return to the 40's by the weekend. At least my joints are moving freely again for the first time in over a month

 

[DanaTA]

Yeah, I think we'll be back into the 40s tomorrow. Oh, well...it was nice while it lasted. But this whole winter has been a roller coaster ride...Hot, Cold, Hot, Cold. Bodies of water never really freezing solid. So unsafe for the kids.

I don't envy you guys. Here we've had a mild winter overall and it looks to stay that way for at least a bit longer. Most of the actually bad stuff keeps going by just north of us. Sometimes by just a few dozen miles. Stay warm.

Swayze Dancing on YouTube is interesting reference for poses Not sure I can create a set with this precision, but it is an interesting reference...we'll see

 

[Terre]

Sounds like a good project to me.

IIRC, his parents, or at least his mother, was a dance instructor, and that's how he learned to dance so well.

 

[Terre]

That makes sense.

 

[DanaTA]

I'm in the Phil Collins club...I can't dance.

I'm in the Phil Collins club...I can't dance.

Same here. That particular song is part of the internet feed at work for the time being so I've been hearing it several times a week. Sometimes every day.

 

[Terre]

*Blink* *blink* What happened to Dances With Bees?

 

[Miss B]

You probably reached the next level in the amount of posts you've made.

 

[Terre]

Ah. I've been dancing with bees so long I though it was the top. OK.

 

[Miss B]

I was just looking all over the forum for the list of which Titles were for what level. I know Lisa, or possibly Alisa, had posted a list once upon a time, but for the life of me, I can't find it . . . yet.

Bforartists 2 alpha version 0.1.0 has been released for testing, which is the equivalent to Blender 2.80. The information page states that it will no longer be available in 32 bit, but will be 64 bit only. Free download available here, and information page is here.

I have tested it, but it will not work with my integrated graphics card on Windows 7...so unless you have OpenGL 3.3, it has the same limitation as Blender 2.8 on older computers....disappointing . It was worth following it to see what the outcome would be. Some may still be interested in testing the program as it has an improved, mouse-friendly UI over Blender.
