Frederick Coombs Research, plan helping him kick the nicotine
Fred Coombs' former smoking
buddies miss him.
Coombs hasn't smoked a cigarette
since Feb. 8, his quit day.
That means he's already surpassed
his previous record of five
weeks without a cigarette.
"I'm surprised how easy this
has been," Coombs said. "Maybe
the 19th time is the charm."
Coombs, a 63-year-old computer
programmer from Wheeling,
smoked for 50 years. He has spent
hundreds of dollars trying nearly
every method to quit, from hypnosis
to laser therapy.
What's different this time?
Coombs thinks it's his attitude.
This time, he really means it. He
also met one-on-one with a
smoking counselor, and he's using
a nicotine replacement patch for
the first time. (He tried the patch
before, but threw the box out after
the first one irritated his skin).
Figuring out how much nicotine
your system needs to avoid
withdrawal plays a key part in
successfully quitting smoking,
said Lyn Tepper, a certified smoking
cessation specialist and
advanced practice pulmonary
nurse at Northwest Community
Hospital in Arlington Heights.
"Most people do not use
enough nicotine replacement,
and that's why they fail," Tepper
At her meeting with Coombs,
Tepper gave him a quiz to analyze
his nicotine dependence. To his
surprise, Coombs scored on the
low end of the scale. That's
because he'd already begun to
taper off his smoking by delaying
his morning cigarette and waiting
a while to smoke after meals.
"Because of that, you've really
changed your focus on cigarettes,"
Tepper said.
"If you do have a lapse, don't
beat yourself up about it," she
said. "Get off the pity pot and get
back on the smoke-free lifestyle
bandwagon. Use it as a lesson,
but don't beat yourself up about
it. You've got the rest of your life to
remain smoke-free."
Because Coombs smoked up to
20 cigarettes a day, Tepper recommended
a 21-milligram nicotine
replacement patch to start. Generally,
smokers should count one
milligram of nicotine replacement
for every cigarette they
smoke in a day, Tepper said.
Three weeks after his quit day,
Coombs stepped down to a 14-
milligram patch, and he says he
didn't notice any difference. Eventually
he'll transition to a
Coombs is also using nicotine
lozenges to curb short-term
urges for cigarettes, though he
says he doesn't like them too
much. Unfortunately, he bought
a box of 192.
"I think I have a lifetime
supply," he said.
The patches have an interesting
side effect: vivid dreams. The first
few days, Coombs dreamt he was
smoking, and it horrified him.
"I'm amazed about how easily I
eased into this," Coombs said. "I
think because my mind was made
up and I was doing it for myself." |

Great Shoe!
"I loved these shoes--stylish and comfortable. However, I have a longer big toe and it went just over the front edge of the shoe, so I returned them. Very disappointed that I couldn't keep them!"
April 11, 2014
Cushy Sandle
"This sandal is a great option for someone looking for a sandal with both support and comfort. I would order one size larger next time. It seemed smaller than most size 9's."
April 10, 2014
Very Cute
"I just received these sandals and really like them. The style is very cute. The only issue I have is across the foot it is very tight. I do have somewhat of a wide foot, but these are tight and it takes some effort to do up the Velcro strap in the back. I am really hoping they will loosen up being made of the leather. They are so cute on and i'm going to take that chance and keep them. I normally wear a size 7 1/2 and purchased these in a 8."

Capsules of NHL conference final series:
EASTERN CONFERENCE No. 1 BUFFALO SABRES (53-22-7) vs. No. 4 OTTAWA SENATORS (48-25-9)
2006-07 series record: Ottawa 5-2-1. How they got here: Buffalo defeated No. 8 New York Islanders 4-1 and No. 6 New York Rangers 4-2. Ottawa defeated No. 5 Pittsburgh 4-1 and No. 2 New Jersey 4-1. Playoff History: Buffalo 3-0. Last meeting: Buffalo 4-1 in 2006 conference semifinals.
BUFFALO: The only series matchup in this year's playoffs between divisional opponents, and this could be the NHL's most heated rivalry. A February brawl led to 100 penalty minutes, including a fight between former Sabres G Martin Biron and Ottawa counterpart Ray Emery. ... Ryan Miller allowed only nine goals in the first five games against the Rangers before yielding four in the finale. He has a stellar 2.07 goals-against average in Buffalo's 11 postseason games. ... Thomas Vanek, second to Chris Drury with five playoff goals, had six against Ottawa in the regular season. Daniel Briere, the team's postseason scoring leader with 11 points, had a goal and five assists in the eight games versus Ottawa. ... Sabres have been to Stanley Cup finals twice, most recently in 1999, but never have claimed the title. They are Presidents' Trophy winners for first time and are in conference finals for fourth time in nine seasons under coach Lindy Ruff.
OTTAWA: Senators' two previous playoff losses to Sabres ruined seasons that looked promising for Ottawa. Senators were swept in 1999 after winning first Northeast Division title, then were eliminated last year as top seed in Eastern Conference. ... Lost three games in last year's series in overtime, and have dropped five straight playoff games in OT to Sabres. ... Scored 288 regular-season goals, second only to Buffalo (308) in NHL. But the Senators boast the league's highest-scoring line of LW Dany Heatley (50 goals, 55 assists), C Jason Spezza (34, 53), and RW Daniel Alfredsson (29, 58). Alfredsson has six goals in 10 playoff games, with Heatley and Spezza adding five each. ... Heatley recorded eight goals and 10 assists against Buffalo in regular season. Only Colorado's Joe Sakic, who had 20 points this season in games with Calgary, recorded more points against a team this season. ... G Ray Emery, who outperformed MVP and Vezina Trophy finalist Martin Brodeur in previous round, is 9-2 in 13 regular-season games against Buffalo - 5-1 this season. He has a 2.04 GAA so far in the playoffs.
OUTLOOK: Senators solve Sabres to get to first Stanley Cup finals. Senators in 5.
WESTERN CONFERENCE No. 1 DETROIT RED WINGS (50-19-13) vs. No. 2 ANAHEIM DUCKS (48-20-14)
2006-07 series record: Series tied 2-2. How they got here: Detroit defeated No. 8 Calgary 4-2 and No. 5 San Jose 4-2. Anaheim defeated No. 7 Minnesota 4-1 and No. 3 Vancouver 4-1. Playoff History: Detroit 2-1. Last meeting: Anaheim 4-0 in 2003 conference quarterfinals.
DETROIT: Every playoff series between the teams has ended in a sweep. In two of the previous three, the winner advanced to the Stanley Cup finals (Detroit 1997, Anaheim 2003). ... Detroit coach Mike Babcock led Ducks over Wings in first round of 2003 playoffs during his rookie season as an NHL coach. ... Red Wings are in conference finals for first time since winning Stanley Cup in 2002, despite being top seed in West for third time in that span. Detroit has advanced this far six times in 12 seasons, tying Colorado for the most appearances during that time. ... G Dominik Hasek has a 1.97 goals-against average in 109 career playoff games - second best to New Jersey's Martin Brodeur (1.93). He has a 1.51 GAA this year in 12 games, yielding 19 goals on 273 shots. ... Pavel Datsyuk, who had three goals in 42 career playoff games before this year, is shedding the title of underachiever by netting five goals in 12 games during this run. He had one goal in three games against Anaheim this season.
ANAHEIM: Ducks are in conference finals for third time in four seasons. ... D Chris Pronger is facing Detroit for second straight year in playoffs and sixth time overall with three clubs (St. Louis, Edmonton, Anaheim). By the time the series is over, more than a quarter of his postseason games will have been against the Red Wings (29 of 119 entering). ... Ducks have scored nine power-play goals in the postseason. Seven gave Anaheim the lead, and one tied the game. ... Anaheim killed its final 22 short-handed situations in the regular season and 53 of 56 in the playoffs. ... Through Ducks' 8-2 postseason record, they have trailed an NHL-low 68 minutes, 39 seconds of 654:26. ... Anaheim's two leading career playoff scorers are its top two defensemen, Norris Trophy finalists Pronger and Scott Niedermayer. Pronger has 18 goals and 83 career points in 119 regular-season games. Niedermayer has 20 and 80. ... Jean-Sebastien Giguere has taken the mantle as the Ducks' No. 1 goalie, after splitting time with Ilya Bryzgalov, He has a 1.28 GAA in seven games, allowing nine goals on 186 shots in seven games - posting a 5-1 mark.
OUTLOOK: Anaheim advances to another Stanley Cup finals by clipping Wings. Ducks in 6.

2 Sep 2011 Amsterdam - Martin Kersten, research fellow at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, received the Challenges & Visions Track best paper award during the 2011 International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB) in Seattle, Washington, USA. VLDB is the leading international conference on database management. Martin Kersten received this prize for the publication "The Researcher's Guide to the Data Deluge: Querying a Scientific Database in just a Few Seconds", co-authored with CWI colleagues Stefan Manegold, Stratos Idreos and Erietta Liarou.
The paper presents a visionary research agenda for interactive exploration of extremely large databases, especially in the area of scientific data management where ingestion of multiple Terabytes of data on a daily basis is foreseen. A major innovation is required to aid scientists in their data exploration journey, where hitherto prevalent assumptions of complete and correct results should be traded against instant response and insight into the database collection at hand.
Several research directions are carved out to realize this vision. They range from engineering a novel database kernel where speed rather than completeness is the first class citizen, up to refusing to process a costly query in the first place, but providing advice on how to reformulate it instead, or even providing alternatives the system believes might be relevant for the exploration patterns observed.
The work is part of the SciLens project in the CWI research group Database Architectures (INS1).

Born Sérgio Daniel Duarte on January 11th, 1993 in the USA/Portugal (?). He is dual-citizen, I believe. He is part of the first team at Clube Desportivo Nacional who placed 7th last year in the first tier of Portuguese soccer. Duarte plays a midfielder. He has one appearance this year for 32 minutes as a sub. Does anyone know how he has affiliation with the US? (Wikipedia claims he was born in Portugal). http://www.soccerway.com/players/sergio-daniel--duarte/252500/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sérgio_Duarte http://www.footballzz.com/jogador.php?id=170875 Notice... on that third link they somehow have his personal Facebook page (very creepy, yes I know) and he posts English captions to his profile pictures.
I believe there is alrady a thread for him. I'm sure any insights you can provide on it willl be greatly appreciated. I've just recently heard of this guy but it's pretty cool that we have two young yanks in Portugal's top flight now with him and Tony Taylor.
I already have a thread on him. http://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/sérgio-duarte-at-cd-nacional.1975022/
Duarte not in the 18 again and hasn't been for the past few matches. I'm not sure if he is injured or if its just been the coach's choice.
Here you go. An American interview with Sergio Duarte http://www.yanks-abroad.com/content.php?mode=show&id=9582
It sounds like he is a dmid. We could definitely use another player that helps with the defense and offense.
I kinda want to take credit for finding him because I sent Brian Sciaretta an email asking if he had any idea about him and I never got a response back.
I saw an interview with him that mentioned he was a winger, but converted to a dmid position. I picked up a pretty detailed Primeira Liga preview magazine when I visited earlier this year, but he isnt mentioned or listed in it. They are currently in relegation, and are 6 points out of a Europa qualifying spot.
CD Nacional are ussually alot better then they have shown they have several international players that currently start for their NT players like Matheus (Angola), Skolnik and Mhilhic (Slovenia), Manueal Da Costa (Portugal), Vladen (Montenegro). But his CDM role will be hard for him since players like Rene Mhihlic is the starter but its only a matter of time before other teams snap him up. Dinamo Zagreb really want him and got turned down so Duarte may have difficult times but he should atleast have by seasons end some decent games in

The biggest of the proposed new turbines are almost three times taller than Nelson's Column and two-thirds the height of Canary Wharf Tower.
According to official industry documents seen by The Sunday Telegraph, two companies plan to build wind farms each with turbines about 493ft (150 metres) tall in Norfolk and in Lincolnshire – about 80 feet higher than anything currently in existence.
In all there are about 20 projects in the planning pipeline for turbines taller than anything which has been built so far onshore in the UK.
Campaigners, however, fear the new generation of wind farms are far too big and will blight the British landscape.
They argue that the turbines are only economically viable because of consumer subsidies made available by the last Government to encourage renewable energy projects.
Some are being positioned, claim campaigners, in areas of lower than average wind speed, forcing companies to build bigger structures to generate sufficient electricity.
Advances in technology have also meant the bigger turbines are cheaper to build, making them increasingly attractive for energy companies.
In Stallingborough in Lincolnshire, a German entrepreneur has lodged a planning application for two turbines which will be 493ft (150 metres) tall.
Laars Vilmar denied his wind farms would be an eyesore and insisted there had been no local opposition to his plans.
"I would rather have fewer turbines with huge heights and create more electricity and efficiency out of them," said Mr Vilmar.
In Tivetshall in Norfolk, residents have formed an action group to fight plans – submitted by German energy company Enertrag – for three, 493-ft tall turbines outside their village.
Battle lines have also been drawn up in Berkshire for new 426 feet tall turbines – higher than anything currently onshore in the UK – which would be visible for more than 20 miles.
A planning application for the new wind farm on the outskirts of Reading and close to the M4 has been lodged by Partnerships for Renewables (PFR), a company created by the taxpayer-funded Carbon Trust, to develop sources of renewable energy on public sector land.
But according to one energy think tank, the four turbines at Rushy Mead farm will receive almost £20 million in green subsidies over their 25-year lifespan despite estimates they will generate electricity for fewer than 3,500 households each year.
The subsidy is paid for by increasing all consumers' electricity bills.
An existing turbine at Green Park on the outskirts of Reading is rated one of the worst performing wind turbines in the country, coming 210th out of 218 for efficiency, according to the think tank the Renewable Energy Foundation.
John Constable, its director of policy and research, said: "It's not surprising they are this tall because the location is a long way south and a long way inland where there is not that much wind."
Jan Heard, spokeswoman for the local protest group Householders Against Rushy Mead, said: "The proposed wind farm at Rushy Mead is a prime example of excessive subsidies leading to the completely illogical placement of wind turbines.
"These turbines would be [among] the very biggest installed in the UK to date, far too close to hundreds of residential houses in Lower Earley, and would be a blight on all of the surrounding areas.
"Without the excessive subsidies, there would be no economic and power generation basis for putting industrial wind turbines in a low wind, inland river valley – common sense has left the building."
The wind farm is planned for a section of farmland, just south of the M4, owned by Reading University. The university will receive rent.
PFR is working with other universities and government agencies on other projects across the UK but the scheme at Rushy Mead is its first to get to the planning stage.
A spokesman for Partnerships for Renewables said: "We have been collecting wind data on the site for two years and have been able to build up a good understanding of the wind regime.
"We are confident that, by selecting the correct turbine for the site, a wind development at the location will generate a significant amount of electricity.
"This is important because any revenues generated will be directly related to the amount of electricity produced, the less electricity produced the less the revenue."
A spokeswoman for RenewableUK, the trade body for the renewable energy industry, said: "The increase in size is actually improving the economic benefits of wind energy since greater yields can be achieved, while maintaining the low environmental impact of smaller sized turbines.
"In other words, a larger turbine could have a marginally larger diameter, yet produce twice as much electricity per annum. This also means that to achieve a certain target for electricity production you need fewer turbines overall."
The spokeswoman added: "Those seeking to block wind farm developments on the grounds of aesthetics are actually preventing the flow of thousands of pounds of investment into their local communities."

Abstract | The text for this 'Text messages' is two YouTube videos from what has become known as 'The battle of the songs', based on the relatively light-hearted, but nevertheless keen rivalry between Singapore and Hong Kong. The two cities share a colonial history similar in some respects, but crucially different in others. Hong Kong was ceded to the British in three stages: Hong Kong Island in 1842, Kowloon, on the mainland, some 20 years later, and the New Territories, encroaching further into the Chinese mainland, on a 99-year lease expiring in 1997. Singapore has a longer colonial history, beginning in 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles established a British port and trading station on the island. Both colonies then followed roughly parallel paths, becoming important East–West trading centres during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, both occupied by the Japanese in World War II, both experiencing a huge growth in the manufacturing sector during the fifties, and then becoming powerful commercial and financial centres for Asia. However, their post-colonial histories are somewhat different: Singapore went through a process of democratic reform in the late forties and fifties, achieving a form of self-government in 1959 and independence in 1963, via a merger with the Federation of Malaya. Civil unrest led to the establishment of an independent democratic republic in 1965. Colonial rule in Hong Kong, in contrast, ended relatively recently. The return of not only the New Territories but also the whole of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China was agreed in 1984 and took place at the expiry of the lease in 1997. Hong Kong, unlike Singapore, is not an independent democracy, but a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China. |

HDRI Studio Pack 1.5 – Real Studios From Real Light Designers 79 Comments
Introducing HDRI Studio Pack Version 1.5. It includes 17 more HDRI Studios you can use to light your scenes and renders. It's fully compatible with Cinema 4D v13 and the new Physical Renderer. But, I'm most excited about the new animation presets that make it easy to render flicker-free animations using global illumination. If you have ever tried to get GI working with animation, you know how tricky it can get. I built presets that I think find the balance between render time and quality for your next render.
What's New?
16 new HDRI Studios to choose from
GI Animation Preset for flicker free GI renders.
Fully Compatible with R13
R13 Physical Render Presets
Animation Preset Examples
Renders made using the Animation Preset Studio
17 Brand New HDRI Studios

I don't get this "flickering" issue because the QMC Full Animation setting always renders nice & smooth
It just takes forever to render, so I might be checking out what you came up with -
Seems to be more for people who only know how to use presets and don't actually look in the settings, help or you know… Google.
Looks cool nick to bad I don't have the money to buy it
looks great.
the only thing i m wondering is the animation preset. its fast yes, but i see a lot of grain. do i see it because of the screen resolution? is it meant to be seen because its so fast?
thanx Oli
I also see a lot of grain, so much so that I would argue that its not a good balance between render time and quality. I feel like maybe im missing something or have something turned on that is creating more grain because in your examples there isn't nearly as much grain as I see when rendering on my computer.
well ok. does the grain comes from gi or ao?
I don't like the grain man it a turn off.Shouldn't we try other renders such like Vray or Octane Render.Why should this forum be stuck on a package render?There alot of followers here and I think we should try at least a gpu rendering.
Looks nice. I'm curious to check out the Physical Render features.
Very nice Nick. Lovin' the HDRI gumballs
Got a nice email today with link for a free update, much obliged and had some fun testing it out for a bit, can't wait to use it in a project. Really nice treat, thanks!
Thanks Nick!
So is this not setting the GI setting to "full animation" Cause I hate all the prerender crap. And how does this work with the NET RENDER? Only one machine will need to have the presets correct?
I would like to hear more about these flicker free render Presets. How can I load it to the rendersettings? I mean did you work it out how to load rendersettings via the contentbrowser?
And how does it work with Netrender, same ol precaching the GI pass on the Mastermachine? -
It would be cool if the car spinned around like in a showroom
it would be great to see the scene file for the HDRI gumballs–or a quick tut. I did something similar a while back–separating clones of the same color into different shapes– and it would be really helpful to see someone else's approach
great stuff as ever!
Thanks Nick
would be nice if this had a new version number, like maybe 1.5.1, so the IT dept at work wouldn't say we already have 1.5 and refuse to update it on our computers…just a thought…
Thanks for the free bounce and looking forward to digging in! I do have a question for you that perhaps you could address in a future tutorial…
I noted vividly on your Vimeo, "What's New In HDRI Studio Pack v1.5," when you changed the seamless floor to a dark appearance. You can see on the vid a severe step in the gradient… and so that brings up a question and issue I deal with in dark scenes (lit by HDRI) as well as other situations… how does one post an image in Photoshop, or avoid it entirely in the render when you want to light a dark scene, but end up with a gradient background with severe stair-stepping instead of a smooth dark background?
P.S.: I'm a print or still image guy, but the issue must be faced by motion as well?
How did you get the mograph to form the letters? and how did you make only certain colors do it thats amazing!
Make text letters seperate and convert to polygons
Make 4 spheres (or more colours) and4 Object Cloners and assign to each text object
Add dynamic tags and assign exclude tags for different text objects
Experiment with gravity settings
Nick – awesome work! For those of us who want to figure out the hdri anim technique without a tut – can you give us 4 to 5 one word clues on how you did the HDRI anim? I'll start you off with 'MoGraph'…! Thanks
Mograph cloner
Spline Effector
Follow Position -
Thanks! Tried your cool animation with my spin on it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD2cf3yd3Cs&context=C3a157b1ADOEgsToPDskL68bCvDQyCpL6yxy0Z41qX
Looking to purchase that awesome light kit as well!
Great update Nick. Used it already! Thanks.
Great stuff!
Are you just supposed to overwrite the old version? -
Thank's Nick!
Amazingly helpful stuff!
Is there any chance we could maybe get a tutorial for the 'HDRI' gumball video, I'd love to see how it was set up! cheers and thanks again -
R12 installed as per email instructions, when I double click the animation preset i get this
//Several plugins used in this scene are missing.
Saving may cause loss of plugin data!
Plugin 'Physical' (ID 1023342)//
Any Ideas Nick?
Hi nick yes using those presets it worked. I have noticed it makes the image much darker, is this normal?
GI + Ao = 1 min render http://twitpic.com/8kcsnt
New preset 34 second render (dark and noise) http://twitpic.com/8kcswn
Do I just need to tweak? -
animation preset works amazingly, worth every penny! thanks Nick!
Can you tell why I would want to get this if I have Light Kit Pro??
50kb/s – 100kb/s feelst like: buy today – use tomorrow
NIck ignore me. I didn't copy over my seamless floor into the new preset the fefault one is a little dark.
Here is a split screen showing the difference in quality and time :
More noise but thats to be expected but it halves the render time.
Great update. Never noticed the presets before. Perhaps you can provide some instruction about putting the preset onto the project? Not sure if you are supposed to select a preset at the beginning, open one then save it as a render setting, merge your project into one of the settings… none of them seem to be good ways of doing it. Some help?
Hey, Nick! Great stuff! Will download from the office tomorrow. What I want to know is what music did you use for the animations? Love it! Where can I get it?
Hey man where did the Model come from its pretty awesome?
thankYou so much,
i love those new studios, i made a couple of tests yesterday — looks great and also those sky samplers renders very very fast — thanks again -
Hey Nick,
Just out of curiosity, what music did you use for these videos (and many of your videos). I just LOVE all of it! Great stuff! I raise an Alley Cat brew to you and your peeps!
I never got an email with the update. Is there an official email that I should contact about this? It's strange because I have always received email updates in the past. Thanks!
Nick, Do you think you can do a quick tutorial on how you did the HDRI intro with the flares, streaks etc.? I really like some of the effects (look) that you achieved there… Thanks!
Nick…… the music for these demos…..where did you get them?
Hi Nick, what kind of a machine are you using in the intro because everything renders very fast. Could i get the same result with my iMac end 2011 with a quad core and 16Gb of ram?
Secondly I have a macbook pro and an imac, could i install the hdri pack on both machines with just one license?Thnx for your mind blowing tuts by the way.
Hmmm, kind of wish I had bought HDRI studio pack instead of Light Kit Pro. Seems like this update makes LKP obsolete.
Hi Nick,
Love the new pack, but concerning the flicker issue. I have a scene already built. My camera is attached to spline. Everything is already been set up, but my final render could use your flicker free preset. Can I still use my camera that's attached to the spline and just import the light rig or do I specifically need your camera too?
Thanks and look forward to some great renders! -
Charles… yes, you can Everything depends on the render settings and not your camera (unless you are using DoF etc).
Nick, I'll throw my hat in the ring with the following question: the music you used is amazing, and works seamlessly with your animation. Really fantastic stuff all around. I know you're a musician — did the music come from you, or from another source? I would love to know. Thank you so much Nick for all the work and time and inspiration you've shared with us!
Can you make a tutorial for the video of the balls which form the word "HDRI"?
hey nick.. love your gumballs.. so i tried to make my own still rendering though http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=375292815816526&set=a.111449335534210.17583.100000074332096&type=1&theater
Hi Nick,
I've a little problem when I use a transparent material
if I disable "seen by camera" I always see the hdri background in the transparent material…How can I do?
you are the best…………… but i am so sorry that you work so hard and produce such a quality products and ppl just share them on torrents and………….. well great work man
Thanks for the update Nick. Let me add my request for a tutorial on the gumballs to HDRI letters animation. As a newbie to Cinema 4D I would sure appreciate seeing it all broken down.
Hey Nick, awesome site you got here!
As I'm learning C4D and After Effects with you I just wanted to say thanks for your awesome tuts and point out a small glitch in the product shots slideshow on this page: http://greyscalegorilla.com/hdristudio/
(it seems shots are off-by-two, at least for me in Safari and FF /Mac ).
Hope this is useful.Keep Rockin'!
Its amazing how many lame comments this site is starting to attract.
Keep up the research, the sharing and keep getting paid for your products!
If you dont like, dont buy. No need to bitch.
Is there a tutorial to how to make that Animation Preset Examples
does someone knows how can i make the particles hit the ground, and then getting attracted by the spline effector? if i don't touch on follow position, the balls don't get attracted by it (unless its 10~) so if i animate the follow position before i animate the "Strengh" it pushes back to its source if i animate it after animating the strengh position it goes all wierd.
So i don't understand… how can i make this happen?i already watched the 7up tutorial, but on this tutorial, the particles doesn't fall in the ground, which is kind of the effect i want, the balls hitting the ground, and then raising up to the letters, can someone try to explain a little better how do i animate this?!
Made a 3D model of my guitar and decided to pick up the pack for some nice HDRI lighting.
Nice product Nick!
Andy -
Just did a 30 models in 30 days project. Most of the weren't textured, but a few of them just had to be. This is where a collection like this can come in handy to very quickly kick out some decent renders.
I'm pretty sure I could have gotten an even better result by setting up the light myself, but there is absolutely no way I could have done it so fast.Here are the models where i used some of the tents from the studio pack;
http://www.soenderby.com/3d.html#vis=daglig/amad23-lightbulb1 -
I have a issue with my seamless floor and the physical render animation settings. I'm getting a gray background. I'm using the Physical Sky for some sunlight colors and shadows but otherwise I'm using HDRI Studio Pack 1.5 seamless floor and physical presets. I followed your tutorial but I'm still getting that background. i've tried the comp background tag, the background with the color material, the color material on the physical sky. I can't seems to get a seamless image. Help…

Hi Nick,
I just recently noticed that u updated the hdri kit, with I bought some time ago. I never received notice to update. Can I still update the package?
Grtz Moshe.
Nick great stuff as always!
Just wondering, love your HDRI pellets animation, with the changing color depending on the letter used… How bout a tutorial on this? I for one would love it!
Thank you very much for all your time spent, most of your stuff is great and I use it as bases for my 3D class at the university where I teach… a big "HOLA" from south of the border. -
Nick Hi, I look like a freak, you know, I know you'll have a lot of requests over a day, but … I would love, if you did the tutorial HDRI balls … I wanted to make a home video, and well, I loved the idea of the balls, … It would be a real pleasure and pride, you could do it … Thank you very much.
I post you an email but no answer….
"First sorry for my english, i'm french . I bought this studio, but i didn't see that you make an evolution (1.5), i'm a sailer and i'm not at home very often. Or now the link to have the new studio is dead ! Could you help me please.I bought the first studio with this e-mail : firstname.lastname@example.com, by Paypal.
Have à good sunday,
Nickk!! how manny cores have, 32 cores????!
From Argentina. -
This looks like a great product Nick! I'm interested in the animation preset particularly, would it help reducing flicker with moving camera animations?
Nick! Mind sharing that scene?
I just love the materials on that truck!!
BTW, awesome plugin, hope to buy it soon!
I know this post is a couple of years old but in the two weeks that I've started playing with CINEMA 4D, I've already learned a ton from Nick and his team. Combining techniques that I've picked up from his "Cherry 7up" tutorial and his "Luminance Textures" tutorial, I created this fun, little piece. I'm very happy with the results and I hope you guys are too.

The 6-foot-2 shooting guard averaged 21 points per game while leading the Bulldogs to a pair of wins at home last week.
He scored a game-high 24 points and had three rebounds in an 82-46 victory against Olivet on Nov. 22. He followed that up with a game-high 18 points, five rebounds and two assists in a 70-65 defeat against previously undefeated Wisconsin-Parkside on Saturday.
Brown shot 50 percent from the field (13-for-26) from the floor and 61.5 percent (8-for-13) from beyond the 3-point arc for the week.
The Bulldogs (2-3) tip off GLIAC action this week with a road trip to Ohio to face Tiffin on Thursday night and Ohio Dominican on Saturday afternoon.

There's got to be some other actual San Francisco food monstrosity that Adam could have risked a coronary eating, right? 10 P.M. on the Travel Channel. (Or so their Web site says.

ANALYST OUTFIT ABI Research reports that revenue from mobile device chips rose 20 per cent in 2011, while the wider semiconductor market languished with just two per cent growth from the previous year.
While Intel enjoyed a bumper 2011, the rest of the semiconductor industry had to put up with low demand and equally low prices, with the DRAM market becoming the poster child for a stagnating semiconductor industry. However ABI Research reports that while the industry as a whole was lagging, the semiconductor firms involved in designing and making chips for mobile devices did exceptionally well.
ABI Research's findings show that revenue from chips used in mobile devices hit $35bn in 2011, a 20 per cent increase from the previous year. The outfit claims that the broader semiconductor industry grew by just two per cent during that time, meaning that mobile phones effectively kept the industry's head above water.
Given ABI Research's figures it is no surprise that Intel is desperately trying to get into the mobile phone industry. Although Intel does supply silicon and intellectual property to mobile device makers, Chipzilla ideally wants to be a system-on-chip (SoC) player to get a significant share of this growth market in semiconductors.
ABI Research claims wireless connectivity circuits for protocols such as Bluetooth, WiFi and NFC will see the biggest growth, with sensors and audio chips also becoming cash cows. The firm projects that the market for these three chip categories will grow by 30 per cent from 2011 to 2016.
AMD, which has said it has no intention of getting into the smartphone business, might need to reconsider its position. Even if the firm doesn't build an SoC, it might want to once again develop and license its graphics technology to mobile chip designers such as Qualcomm and Texas Instruments or risk missing out in what undoubtedly has become a key market for any firm in the semiconductor business. µ

Markets :: Alternative Fuels :: Biorefineries Aemetis expands Keyes bioethanol plant to sorghum feedstock1:30 PM MDT | June 3, 2013 | Rebecca Coons Aemetis (Cupertino, CA) says its 60-million gal/year bioethanol plant at Keyes, CA, has commenced production using grain sorghum feedstock and a combined heat and power (CHP) system in an integrated process with traditional feedstocks. "The production of advanced biofuels through the conversion of a corn ethanol facility to lower-carbon biofuels is an important milestone," says Aemetis chairman and CEO Eric McAfee says.

Re: JJ Watt should be kicked out of the NFL...
This town loved Earl Campbell, and he was a quite type. A hard worker but he did not seek the limelight. My favorite football player of all time, and I'm an Aggie.
Of the current players this town embraces AJ, but I don't remember anyone having the impact of JJ Watt. And he is quickly becoming my favorite.
He has had such an impact on me I have donated to his foundation, and I have bought his jersey, the 1st jersey I have ever bought, and I am old enough to remember George Blanda as an Oiler.
Thank you JJ was being such a great citizen.

Winter Quarter 2015
Fat Pig by Neil LaBute February 12-14 at 7:30 pm Sunday, February 15 at 2:00 pm CBC Theatre Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors
RATED R: For adult language and situations.
A dark comedy, directed by Stephanie Fanning..
Tom is just your average guy with a string of short, uncommitted relationships with women he doesn't share a lot in common, but a chance lunchtime meeting seems like it might change all that for him. Helen is smart and funny, has the same taste in movies as Tom, and seems to really "get" him in a way that no other woman has been able to. Helen is the perfect woman for him, except for one thing…she's plus-sized. Tom and Helen continue to date, and their relationship only seems to grow and deepen. Helen begins to feel uncomfortable that she hasn't met any of Tom's friends, and so he promises to bring her to their company 4th of July BBQ . When that day finally comes, their relationship, and Tom's integrity, are put to their biggest test yet.
COMING SUMMER 2015 SUDS - the rocking 60's musical soap opera Dinner theatre under the stars, yes the outdoor show is back! Performances are scheduled for the end of June AUDITIONS Feb 24 and 25 at 7:00 pm, CBC Theatre Parts for 3 females and 1 male Come with 60-90 seconds of a song from a musical. Set in the "Fluff and Fold Laundromat," Suds - The Rocking 60's Musical Soap Opera, is the story of laundromat manager Cindy and her event-filled birthday. Cindy's sweet disposition quickly sours on the morning of her birthday when her pen pal boyfriend breaks up with her, and her cat dies. Her resulting attempts to take her own life (death by washing machine) are thwarted by the arrival of not one but two guardian angels. Though guardian angels DeeDee and Marge are united in their goal to save Cindy and help her find true love, they are as different as night and day. DeeDee is perpetually sunny and perky, while Marge is sassy and brusque. Their styles clash with humorous results. Throughout the day, other visitors to the laundromat (all played by one male actor) provide twists and turns along the way to the inevitable happy ending to this tale. Using over fifty well known, chart-topping hit songs from the 1960s, such as Where the Boys Are (Connie Francis), These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Nancy Sinatra), Respect"(Aretha Franklin), I Feel Good (James Brown) and Do You Want to Know a Secret (The Beatles), Suds can rightfully be called a jukebox musical akin to The Marvelous Wonderettes. Both capitalize on nostalgia and the popular tunes from a specific era released as successful singles. They both also have clear characters with conflicts and plot development, however lightly the subject matter is handled.
AUDITIONS Fri., March 6 at 7:00 pm - Gjerde Center (HUB) Sat., March 7 at 12:00 pm – CBC Theatre Callbacks: Sun, March 8 at 1:00 pm
Performance dates: July 29-Aug 1, Aug 5-8

All the stuff you ask others to do or you're waiting for. How do you make sure it actually happens? I, like many people, just have a list of items I'm waiting for and periodically check the list to see if they followed up on my request.That way I don't have to keep it on mind and worry about it all the time, "what if he doesn't come back to me about it?" "what if he forgets about it?" After all, we're only human.That's what I use RTM for. I've got a list of every task I've delegated, e-mail awaiting an answer, and I found it is a great way to keep focus on the things you've trusted to others to do for you. Now to be able to process that list as fast as possible, I run a search in Gmail for the subject of the e-mail, and then I just copy the top address bar and paste it in the URL section of my task; so that could be a URL like:https://mail.google.com/mail/#apps/TPS+reportI then use the RTM Gmail addon ( http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/gmail/ ) to have a list of my tasks in the *same* window as my e-mail, makes it even easier!, then I just click on the task and then the URL and I instantly see if they got back to me - or if it's time to send a reminder e-mail / pick up the phone, whatnot.Peace of mind while spending the least amount of time on chasing those outstanding items =]

COLUMBIA - Rows of trailers attached to grills stood side by side at the entrance of the Boone County Fair on Friday afternoon. Banners with names such as The Meteorites, Team Q and Smokin' Till the Sun Comes Up hung from the fronts of trailers and tents. As the trailers' owners began to unpack chairs, tarps, grills and cooking equipment, people began to mingle and settle in for the next day's cooking events.
It was time to barbecue.
According to Aimee Olmstead, coordinator for the event, 33 adult teams and 11 children participated in the barbecue contest Saturday.
Children participated in the Kid's Q, the children's event in the competition featuring ground meat products. Lauren Martin, 3, was the youngest participant the event has ever had.
"I wanted to do it because I like cooking with my mom and dad," Martin said.
Martin cooked a Hawaiian turkey burger and won fifth place in the Kid's Q category.
Adult competitors don't have to call Boone County home - one team came all the way from Iowa to compete - but all participants must be members of the Kansas City Barbeque Organization. The nonprofit group for barbecue lovers boasts 8,000 members worldwide, according to its Web site.
The adult portion of the event involved four categories; chicken, ribs, brisket and pork shoulder. In order to place in the top ten for the event, teams must enter all four categories.
Teams prepare their food Friday night so the meat has time to cook and marinate for Saturday. On Saturday, the competition moves quickly through the four categories, with half an hour between each.
As the time to turn in dishes approaches, teams frantically finish the details of the meats and place them on a bed of parsley in plastic foam boxes. With sturdy hands, teams handle their dishes like they are precious gems while they walk them over to be judged.
Food is judged based on appearance, taste and tenderness by a group of judges trained by the Kansas City Barbeque Society.
Prizes were given to the top ten in each category. Grand champion and runner-up grand champion designations were also awarded. Child and adult winners receive cash prizes, and the grand champion of the adult event receives $1,500, Olmstead said.
"There are no disgruntled losers. We're all happy for each other," said John Cupp, a judge for the event.
The grand champion of the event was Belly Brothers BBQ from Hallsville.
"The friendship and comradeship between all the teams is the best part of the event for me. I think anyone here would tell you the same thing," said Darreyl Lampkins, a Belly Brothers BBQ team member.

Seeking Crackle Alligator Finish Speakers
The frustrating part is, I just recently saw these speakers, but for the life of me I can't remember where. But I do remember it was in a discussion of an unrelated topic.
Recently in a thread that I think was in this forum (or not), someone posted a picture of some very nice speakers that had a reddish-brown (base) and black (top coat) 'alligator' finish. Though he informed us it was simply 'crackle' finish with a few coats of clear on top. It really was an impressive finish. Does anybody remember this thread, and can they point me to it? I was in the building supply store, and none of the sample 'crackle' finishes had this large checked alligator effect. Also, the colors tended to be more in the pastel range. I've since learned that the size of the checks or 'crackle' is based on the thickness of the middle 'crackle' layer. I would like to find this thread both to show it to other people, and also to get an idea of the paints and processes this person used. The speakers themselves were very nice, but if you saw this 'alligator' finish, you would certainly remember it. I don't frequent that many different Audio/Speaker forums, and I've searched them all to no avail. If anyone remembers seeing a finish like this, I would greatly appreciate a point in the right direction. Thanks a bunch. Steve/bluewizard |

A while back I posted a question about the crackle finish used on General Radio Corp. test equipment. Several good replies about technique. The finish you're describing sounds very similar- large crackle pattern. I can't find that thread for anything, but maybe you're a better searcher.

And here are a couple of old pics I just dragged out.
first one is a metallic purple undercolour (don't blame me, its what the guy wanted ) http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gradds55/purple.jpg And this one uses green and light blue with a spot or so of orange http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gradds55/bluegreen.jpg |

Andy, thank you thank you thank you, that's it.
These aren't the same pictures, and I'm sure I've never seen this website, but that is the speaker finish I was talking about. I think this looks immensely close to leather. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gradds55/ARGOS/Jay's.html I never thought I would admire 'crackle' finish on anything, but the speaker you posted links to look pretty impressive. I think this black(blue?)/green looks very nice and very snake like. The Center channel look especially nice, but the tall tower seems to have some bad spots where the finish didn't 'crackle'. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gradds55/ARGOS/terry's.html This Blue/blue is a bit much, but still came out very nice. http://members.optusnet.com.au/~grad.../ceraphin.html But the brown/black alligator leather-look on Jay's HT System is just unbelievable. So, thanks, those are the speakers. But it is still driving me nuts not being able to find the audio forum where these pictures were posted. Given that I've searched high and low, I guess I have to accept it was a random group I stumbled across one time. Still, it's frustrating. Anyway...thanks for the link. Steve/bluewizard |

My wife likes that kind of pattern on shoes, maybe she will like it on speakers! I guess that could be a new route to WAF.
Now if I can get enough of it to cover the NHT M3.3 clones... |

Yes, Flaevor, if you could post or send me a photo that would be great.
If you want to send it to me directly, you can use - bboyminn(at)yahoo.com I'm curious how you found this peel-and-stick material to work with. Is it easy to handle, does it stick well, did you cover the speaker with a final coat of varnish after you put the python vinyl on? Does the vinyl have any texture to it? Any suggestions you would give to someone using this type of product? Steve/bluewizard |

Good news, I showed my wife the python print and she loved it! What started out as a joke is now taking on some interesting implications. Is there a US likeness of this material?

When I built my first pair of speakers I want to use something idiot proof and a friend recommended using this stuff. I found a store that sold all of the different styles and I thought that stuff is cool and exotic and my wife was immediately sold on it. So I bought a roll and wrapped them. In my haste I made some mistakes though.
First off it looks very real. it has a real feeling texture and doesn't need to be finished after being applied. When trimming the edges I would be very careful and patient this time around. The structure causes it to not want to cut perfectly so fast cuts are a no no. Second I would probably put down a base coat that roughly matched the color and then apply the vinyl. The reason being that it can and probably will shrink a millimeter or two with time exposing the edges slightly but if it was carefully trimmed and had a color matched base coat no one would notice. Overlapping the stuff is also more of an option than it seems given the thickness and structure. I threw on a few strips overlapped on the back just to see what it looked like and it was good enough that most people didn't notice it until I pointed it out. As for a better picture I will shoot one of the left over material and send you one to your email address. I have scrap left over so if someone would like a small sample I could probably drop a little in the mail. If I'm not mistaken a friend still has a 45cm x 10m roll I paid for and he never used so I may have some for sale/trade as well if someone is interested. |
