Yes, you can easily upload images to a wiki, you can even use HTML formatting in your articles. However, some owners of wikis I know dislikes the use of HTML in articles in favour of the wikitext markup. I am not really sure why this is, perhaps it has to do with user selectable stylesheets or something.

It's the wiki system. Try the search function, and have a look at the checkboxes at the bottom of the page. And it is easier to port the wiki articles etc..

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader)
Have a look at Garrys article to see how easy it is, to write an article with wiki markups. http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/The_Amazing_Light_Sensitivity_Shader I'll move it in the right category, or somebody else can do this.

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader)
This Wiki idea is great, but why oh why do they have to reinvent a new markup when HTML is old and known and does the same job already?? Why use ' ' instead of i? If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I'm sure most people here have a lot more experience with HTML than Wiki markup. If the HTML could be used, you could also direct copy over HTML tutes. Eg. a bit of the RenderDaemon could be copied over without having to go through and change all the tags.

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader)
Wiki related, now Garrys Tutorial is set up right as todays reference: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/The_Amazing_Light_Sensitivity_Shader create an account and have a look at it, but only modify if really needed. Make sure you understand the structure. If you're uploading images, make sure that you use a low filesize (not more than 70kb per image). (I'm using XNView, with compression set to 60.) Try always to explain your steps in text form (Search engines love text) Use no images, if not really needed. Link to other related Articles instead of writing twice. Think about the following: We have now ~150MB (ok, I can get much more for free, but) One article needs 250kb for images This gives only 600 articles. Please have this in mind.

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader)
I totally agree with this. I find Wiki markup disturbing. Nevertheless, I like the concept of a Wiki. :) Regards, Fredrik Bergholtz On 04/02/06, David Coombes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This Wiki idea is great, but why oh why do they have to reinvent a new markup when HTML is old and known and does the same job already??

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader)
Good one Garry, But I think it should be on the Realsoft info tutorial collection. Arjo. Hi Arjo : It could go there too , but the last article I wrote , the Planetary Shader article , never made it on that site , but did get a link placed there instead . Personally , I would like to see the Wiki contain all the available Realsoft3D tutorials and articles , with the authors' permission of course . Realsoft.info has a great collection , but they are not cat- agorized like the wiki already is , and they are locked anyway . For me it is already a lot of fun to visit the wiki and see what awesome information has been added ... while I slept . Many thanks to all the gracious contributors ! studio www.niagara.com/~studio www.studiodynamics.net

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader) == to the WIKI ....
Hi Gary, Either or - Matthias has been generous with the space. He has a buddy who has a host type company [ I think ]. So images and that are no prob. I reckon - look at Fredriks recent email about How to's - Ill pop it in below this. Wiki's, Content Management Systems and all that - different things come up every day. Dive in dont be afraid, spend a small bit of time working out how the WIKI works. Ask Fredrik / Fre_ber about it - he just added the main headings and that. When I get a moment I will have a look at it and do up some sort of Dummies Guide once I figure it out - my interpretation. Don't let that stop anyone else doing the same. Delay in mail - I was out playing one of my weekly gigs. Plus the weekend is stuffed - Time with Wife - she away during Weeks at mo. We will have a new Solicitor / Lawyer in a while :) And my Nieces Birthday - so Will get at it. BUT DIVE IN :) You could try the link idea first, then as your confidence grows try the full tute. Best way to figure it out - MAKE MISTAKES, better that than not doing at all. Cheers Aidan FREDRIKS MAIL: I have taken the liberty of adding some skeleton pages. I remember that the biggest obstacle I had to overcome, when starting to use a wiki, was the fear of trashing something. I was used to reading other peoples web pages, but not actually _changing_ other peoples web pages. However, this is what a wiki is all about. All pages are automatically kept under version control - no matter what somebody does, intentionally or otherwise, the changes can always be reverted back to the previous state. So feel free to dig in and add/change stuff as much as you possibly can. After a while, it is probably useful to lock the main page from changes. This way, the impact of malicious editing can be reduced, but before we can do that we have to agree on the look and contents of it. I copied a small part of the mediawiki documentation into the help page: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/Help:Contents and a few examples in the sandbox: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/Sandbox Just create an account and start publishing - there are no excuses now. ;) Regards, Fredrik Bergholtz At 21:58 03/02/2006, you wrote: http://www.studiodynamics.net/saved/lightsens1.html Great tute and just in time for the Wiki that Matthias has popped up.
