Hi Rick Thanks for sorting that out, i had to read it a couple of times but i think i have it now, and you have cleared up the £2390 question. So if that is the case, do you know what the rough cost of going from R18 studio to R19 studio, and possibly what is cost of jumping two versions, i.e. if I was to wait until R20. Im just trying to gauge the value of the £490 offer compared to normal costs. Thanks for taking the time Rick, i don't know if you work for MAXON was its kind of a question for them tho i did scour the website for a clearer message. But i have watched many of your great tutorials on cinevercity, so thanks for those also. Deck

Hi Cafe Im a bit confused over the advertised prices for the cinema upgrades advertised on the site this morning. I dropped my MSA last year due to finance rather than any issues with the software, so the £490 + vat upgrade price offers an opportunity to solve that, what has got my interest is the price crossed out, does it really normally cost £2390 to upgrade from 1 version previous ? So what is the full price for Studio R19, is it the £2800 marked up in this "perpetual licence " grab ? And also, how do you upgrade from R19 to R19 for £927 ? Can anyone clarify or just tell me where / how Im reading it wrong. Deck

Loving the mountains, i was having a play myself after watching the same tutorial, my image was pretty poor tho it pleased me a lot. Mine needed many things but I thought mostly it was a bit clean and needed a few rocks n boulders cloned about the place. Only just noticed your skiers, brilliant. Deck

Thanks for sharing Cerbera, thought I would have a bit of fun and have downloaded the pyrocluster tut and data vis which is way out of my area of expertise, but a huge discount gives opportunity to look at something new. Think it was bout £20 for the two, bargain on the face of it. Also I wasn't aware of the site previously so its all good. Deck

saw something the other day 9 may have been chris smith at nab, he did a rock thing where he placed two rocks in a cloner with massively different seed values on each and the n set the cloner to blend mode, thus blending the seed no as it where. Dunno if that will work for you Deck

Ah, correction deformer, that was it, thanks Cerbera, thought I had been imagining it for a moment there. Thats works much better, and also seems happy to use multiple selections of the same type. Still goes out of whack when changing the sub div tho, but thats what I was after. Thanks Deck

I watched an old tutorial about making selections on primitives for materials and later wondered if it would work with the bevel deformer. Seems to work quite well but i wonder about its usefulness as it all goes pear shaped as soon as you change the subdivision, tho you can change the size, but would have to redo selections whenever you change the sub div. This may be a common thing but Ive not seen it before so thought I would post a file here. The basic jist is to make a copy of your primitive, make editable, make and save a selection and then put in the selection field of your bevel deformer and lo n behold it works on your primitive, I can use the 3 different types of poly line and point but it doesn't seem to like more than one of each. I thought there was another to make selects on a primitive with one of the deformers ? Deck Selections on primitives 01.c4d

this post asked a similar question, think Ive seen a few tutorials around the web too. Deck

Hi Igor That hover feature you mentioned doesn't work for me in safari, hovering over the profile icon works but not for the subject matter. I will concede that safari isn't the most popular browser but I like it for its simplicity. Personally I still feel showing the last post instead of the first is a backwards step. For me seeing the answer without the question is weird, Im left guessing what the question might be. Like trying to read my newspaper with only headlines and all the text blocked out. Deck

I think thats my point, you have to click on it to see it, then go back and click on the next one etc. Where previously you could just read them all on one page. I have to say this is the only forum I use so maybe its just me, but it seems I now have to make lots of clicks where previously I didn't need any. Im not trying to be annoying just saying it how I see it :) Deck

Hi Igor Im not sure were both on the same page. For me not being able to see the original topic is a really bad thing. Not only for viewing and answering other peoples issues but it seems when I post a problem of my own, that nobody will see it after a first post has been made unless they click on the topic and scroll back to the original problem. As much as we all like to help, I can't imagine any of us have the time to click on each post and navigate to the original issue. As for the theme, I don't really care what colour or font things are in. Its all irrelevant if you just see the the last post. Am I missing something here ? Deck

Hi everyone I haven't read al the posts here so apologies in advance if Im repeating previous questions. Am i right to assume that new content has changed to unread content ? When I see the posts here, the quoted text seems to be relating to the last post rather than the original problem / topic. This makes it very difficult to gauge what the original post was about. That was always my first stop at the cafe, reading about every bodies interesting problems, sometimes getting inspired, often in awe of all the talent and on a few occasions being able to make a suggestion or two to help out. It seems now you can only see the original issue before anyone has posted Am I not using the correct theme or settings ? Im on a mac using safari and 10.8.5 Deck
