I've been quiet on this list for quite a while (although I occasionally keep track of upgrades to the IRIX version, thanks so much for maintinaing that!, but I don't really use it), because I have two little kids, and they take up almost all of my spare time. The small remainder is taken up by my wife :) and my new hobby, that is medium format photography. So making renderings with real, instead of simulated light. I'm really envious that your child can sleep 5 hours at a time, our little daughter will rarely sleep for more than 3 hours at a time, and she's already 8 months old. Her big brother sleeps 10 hours, but then, he'll be three years old in August. http://nuxi.homeunix.org/album/Kinder/susanna/susanna-2006/maerz-2006/tn/Susanna_Wippe_001.jpg.html http://nuxi.homeunix.org/album/Kinder/daniel/daniel-2006/januar-2006/tn/Daniel_002.jpg.html Hardware used: http://nuxi.homeunix.org/album/photography/lenses/sonnar/tn/IMG_0723.JPG.html (no software in this camera ...) ;-) Maybe one day I'll also find the time to render virtual stuff again. You learn a lot about lighting etc. when doing photography, and why and when focal blur (aka "bokeh") is especially important. > > Thanks again, everyone! > > Russell, Trang and William Jones > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Vesa Meskanen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 2:03 PM > Subject: Congratulations... > > > > > >Congratulations, Russell, and thanks for mailing the lovely picture of > >your family! > > > >Vesa & the Realsoft team > > > > Keep rendering, and take the occasional look at the real world!
