Friday, November 9, 2012 by vStyler | Discussion: Sneak Previews
Been spending rather a lot of time in C4D these days working on modelling, lighting, texturing... One can only do so much in Photoshop... and I've
been doing it.. a loooong time... or so it feels...
So.....thought I would venture into 3D again for another WB.... Post work in PS.
I'm thinking along the lines of an upscale, contemporary, plush apartment in a modern Metropolis. Stainless steel fixtures..mood lighting.. et cetera
For Windows 7.
Will post more as I go.
i Loooooove lighting....
Cheers... and thx to Snowman and Doc for their critiques....and the WB name. 'Perfect'

this is another one i may have to get IF WB8 skins the Start8 start menu and allows the skins to be stored on a non-boot drive. i'll keep my fingers crossed.

Finishing up a complete format and reinstall of over 2 TB of Data... and backing it all up.

That must have been one BAD stick of RAM to require a reformat. I'm happy to hear you are on the road to recovery.

Holey moley!! Take that stick and add it to the kindling. Extra firewood is always a good thing. lol
You gots a PM John.

Well, it was narrowing it down that was the most work and time.. it just ended UP being the RAM.
As far as the reformat goes.. I had a new drive and did the new install on a different drive to make sure it wasn't my old drive that was the issue.
Wasn't really a re-format, was a completely new install and subsequent full install of all my stuff.
Now the old drive.. is an extra backup.

That is what I think, or at least thought. I'll be putting SATAII SSD/SATAII mobo vs. SATAII platter drive to the test soon. Stay tuned.

Quoting LightStar, reply 94 a requirement for an SSD to be an advantage

Yeah, I just found out a few minutes ago on eBay that Intel made SATA II SSD's, so I just bought me a couple of new 160GB drives at a damn good price! Did not have to buy a new motherboard at least. Going to revamp my storage layout and do fresh installs, and then backups of course! Dual boot Windows 7/8 (with Start 8 of course).
