What a learning curve though... :D I was sad when Caligari went out of business and Truespace stopped being a thing.

I managed to export a model from blender and import it into Truespace (which I still have) to manipulate, then export it from there and import it into Blender, but I have no idea how to texture it, or what sort of scale it would be in the game I was hoping to get somebody to mod it into for me. :D

Start with a procedural texture, unwrap the UV, and bake the diffuse and normal maps.

Yes, those are all real things.

Sounds like a recipe for radioactive muffins. Not sure where the map fits in.

I haven't been able to figure out how to even generate / apply a procedural texture yet. :D

On the other hand, I haven't put much effort into it...no doubt a Blender texture tutorial would sort me out...I'm trying to convince other people to do it for me instead. :D

:hobbes: Imaginary Playmate!
That is interesting. I was only thinking this morning that I've been conducting some kind of Bear Therapy (not bare therapy) with my Tarot cards.

I worked as a security guard about 20yrs ago at a haunted manor house; not that I really believe in such things. But the place was so 'unnatural' to this day I still have nightmares.
So to combat this recurring vexation I decided to try a set of Tarot cards with a little self-psychoanalysis.
I've been using the Ghost Tarot by Davide Corsi - a deck that was sitting idle on a bookshelf still in it's wrapper after more than two years.

While doing Tarot spreads, (and guided meditation) I formed an awareness of a Lady of the Manor (the haunted house) who also is a Taroist. Through these imaginings a kind of entree is being forged.
The depictions (archetypes) in the cards reveal oddly accurate narratives - these scenarios or short/short stories I then record in a journal. A good enough reason to break out the coloured pencils, scissors, pritt stick, protractors, compass...

Very hard Ur Dead, very hard indeed.

Thinking of you at this sad time.

Some good vibes sent my way requested around 1:00 pm PST as I'm put under to go through biopsies of yet two more different areas. Hoping they come back clean, but that answers to why I had symptoms once several months ago are explained. Right now we're fishing in the dark.

I don't know if I'll be allowed my phone in preop or recovery; usually SD has been with me prior to my procedures and holds on to my phone once they put me out. But due to visitor restrictions this time, I don't know if I'll be allowed my phone. So, if not, I'll see y'all on the flip side.

Got home about 7:30 pm PST. OR ran two and a half hours behind, so although I was taken back to preop pretty much as soon as I checked in at 11 am, I wasn't brought back to the OR until 3:30 instead of 1 pm. Recovery was a little difficult coming out of it, so took about 2 hours, rather than 1. But I'm home now and finally having something to eat, other than the apple sauce and graham crackers I had in recovery.

Thanks for the good thoughts and light sent my way!
