print feature

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 25, 2008, 4:24 AM
  • Mood: Big Grin
my fulltime c++ mentor and part-time online chat friend (!) ~bramzistor asked me to make a special edition of my cities of tomorrow print, after having been denied countless "originals" because i lost the lossless source files... so i finally did it, actually some months ago, and it was available in the da print store for like $30 (the 24×36) the whole time ;)

anyway he eventually mounted it on his wall and sent me the pics, so now i'm finally making this journal to show how nicely it came out :D

lol. At random I checked the remaing space on my HD, yesterday: 3.8 GB ;) xD I should clean it up a bit but as it looks now, even IF i could get enough space, the remaining space would be too little to do anything propperly....

Visual Studios 2005 with both java and c++....
No Linux on this computer, currently. I plan to install it, as soon as I get a bigger HD... With the current HD, I can't possibly have two OSes.... And I'll need some time to get used to linux, so at the beginning, I'll have windows in addition to linux ;)

get yourself a compiler and development ide where you can compile programs, do some file i/o etc; java or c++ is preferred. send me an email when it's all set up (ps. try the new ubuntu 8.04)
~kram1032:iconkram1032: Apr 29, 2008, 9:30:09 AM
lol OK.... I didn't want to force YOU^^
So, ok: I want to learn :)

nah, it's McGill, in Montreal. I did need some convincing back then, but certain factors pulled me northward anyway.. :D it'll be a tough challenge, but I'm hoping that it'll be worth it :)

i take it, it's not in canada, else you'd have said so and not asked for convincing not to go to another (american?) uni ;) anyway as long as you're happy with your choice, that's all that matters!

looking forward to some info on what's up!
*lyc:iconlyc: Apr 28, 2008, 5:30:34 PM
you never came back to me about learning anything; i won't force it on you! ask many people here on da, on ompf, etc. -- i am happy to teach when people are happy to learn.
~banana-tree:iconbanana-tree: Apr 28, 2008, 9:29:47 AM
ah, that! :slow:
well, I've already paid my deposit to my future university (:eyes:), so as soon as this hectic week is over, I was planning to get back to that article :D

hum well... 'cause you once wanted to teach me and you never did^^ Else I'd already have written something like that on my own...
Btw, in this case I don't need any photo realistic progressive rendering method. Shadeless scanline would be enough as it's just a grid. Not even faces are needed...... - Except of course, perfectly round shapes aren't possible with scanline. Then, I'd need something like that....
Thankks for the hint :)

well, it wasn't really an infection... basically i had my first cold here in nz, weather change (it's currently pouring with rain). about the circles, why not write a program to render them properly? i'm sure you could do it, just look in *chaos5's journals for instructions on doing hq monte carlo rendering.
*lyc:iconlyc: Apr 28, 2008, 3:34:22 AM
i'm going to be needing the next chapter in your article series ;P
*lyc:iconlyc: Apr 25, 2008, 3:55:53 AM
you can have a peek at *chaos5's recent journals and deviations for stuff i've taught him about high quality rendering :)
