Poster, you forget fighting allowance and accidental discharge allowance. Thats y they fight everytime, for senseless reasons, like chinese movies. So they can get like 2 billion to treat knife wound.

The mosques loudspeakers blaring out at odd hours should be a thing of the past
They should buy alarm clocks for their worshippers.
all those noisy street owanbe parties must be included too
and those churches that insist on preaching to the whole neighborhood ought to keep their loudspeakers indoors only.

Oops! sorry, not sure fashola would wanna ban his ppls beloved owambe parties. Its the yoruba livelihood.

Men there is just a lot to deal with men, the annoying street blocking parties of mosques and yoruba celebrations and shit. . . . , these guys are so daring they can lay their party canopies and tents across the ikorodu express because of gbedu. Y r they like that?? Fashola has a lot of work men.

Praise God. And those annoying mosques chantings. Thank you Fashola, plssss!

Getting the right lighting/rendering setup for mentalray also depends on ther version of max u are using. I think they messed up mray for 2010 version by changing lighting proceedures while trying to make it easier for begginners. Things dont work the way they used to. Hope mray for 2011 will b better.

Stuff i did with mray for max 9 while ago.

opps images here.

wonder why this post didnt show ----

I think one has to just discover which rendering engine suits him cos you can achieve good with either. For me, i very comfortable with mray to the extent that i can predict my final results from the very beginning. Vray on the other is stressfully slow but its setup is straight forward, not as deep as mray. However, i still believe you could get better results with vray as per realism and feel.

Im still learning vray though, trying to see how i can bring it into my workflow. That is a must for me.

Here are some quickies, interior (a quick 40mis test render) and a rush rush xterior for a client who wanted his visual in hours. They can be better, if i spent a little more time on them.

And one thing Nampton, u shouldnt use photmetric lights with skylights. They dont mix when using mental ray, seriously serious. Vray is more flexible in that area.

Its hard to beleive but if its true then,, thats it for Naija. We don try.

Cant you see that ur inclincation is abnormal? How can ppl think upside down like this. And she is trying to xplain to the boss that its normal. So sociey should just accept you gbam like that? U even made a mistake of telling us because aint no job coming to ya until u straighten up.

Okay. . .

Please, could you answer a few questions for me as straight forward as you can without beating about the bush (like most people i asked before).If you can satisfactorily answer these questions, i promise to hold my peace and go back to being a Christian (lol    ) :

Ok let me answer and I hope im not drawing the thread back

(1)According to the history of the bible (from Adam till the present day), the world is not older than 5000 years and yet, there are archaeological findings dating back to millions and even billions of years back.There is no mention of ancient civilizations, dinosaurs or prehistoric plant life.All that was mentioned are what we see around us today.Could you explain this discrepancy?

Understand that these two subjects are sources of historical knowledge and its not wrong to have them both when looking into man's past. Just because they may seem to conflict a little here and a little there doent mean we should disapprove one over the other. We have to keep studying them. The bible and archeology are windows into the past. Understand that man grew in understanding or as we may say, from an uncivilised era of thinking to modernity; that is to say, the bible is a document whose record began at a certain time of civilisation.  if you ve read the bible properly, you'd notice that there seems to be a beginning before the beginning of the bible as Moses wrote it.

Also there are millions of places where the bible and archeology agree, on events animals that once lived on earth, etc. I believe that the two go hand in hand as historical sources, with the bible being a more credible source.

My main point her is simple: The bible never said the world is 5000 years old. It only recoreded from that time.

(2)In the book of Genesis, Cain killed Abel out of jealousy.He was exiled from Eden and he went to the land of Nod and married there.Can you explain who those people were coz from my recollection, at that time it was just Adam,Eve and two kids.So who are these people that were "omitted" in the story and who is this mysterious woman Cain married? Was it his sister? Or did he get married to animals?

Well from what i have read and understood, Cain married his sister.  I have also discovered that historians of old as well as their culture played down on women, and the stems of that can be seem today in china, india some other Asian countries. Much of that time only recognised and or recorded men. and that could be the reason y sometimes there apeared to be some dark sides of the story. But you analyse it for urself, Adam lived for a long time, alot could have happened during his time.

(3)In the same bible, the lord was angry with the world he created and was determined to destroy his creation (how ironic ).He instructed Noah to build an arc and put pairs of all living things in that ark.To the best of my knowledge, botanists spend their entire lives collecting and identifying species of a particular organism/animal/plant.Even if he lived 2,000 years on earth, there was no way he could have been able to achieve such a feat coz there were no airplanes,buses or ships to travel across the globe to get all pairs of organisms.Are we trying to say he came down to Africa to get the African elephant and then trekked back to India to get the Indian elephant? Think about it and you'll see how ridiculous it sounds.No roads.No buses.No planes.No ships.No rockets.No internet and yet. . .

You are not thining deeply enough. The bible never said that all species were of animals or organisams were saved. And judging from Noah's decent, the earth wasnt completely occupied rationally speaking. They werent up to 20 billion as we are today, they were concerntrated in a portion of the earth. Be rational  Speaking of feat, where did u think God was? If He were a supernatural being as was recorded, dont you think He was working too? You imagine, everthing God created was in a  tiny spot of the earth, the Eden Garden. How would you xplain of man , animals and plants from that spot? None  other than the study of the science of migration of man and beast and pollination for plants. as well as farming.

i think you condemed the bible even before you first opened it.

(4)The current bible used in Christianity today has two parts. . .the old and new testament.Now there are practices in the old testament that most churches especially Pentecostals have discontinued e.g eye for an eye, sacrificial offerings and so on.When you ask them, they tell you that Christ came and all things are washed away rendering the old testament null and void.If this is true, why then do they still revert to Malachi 3:10 when it comes to psyching up the congregation to give more offerings and tithes? Weren't all things of old washed away? The same people will tell you that no part of the bible is irrelevant and the same people choose the parts that suit them.Are they confused about who and what they are worshiping?Do they even have an idea of what they are doing?

Bro, i think you are confused. Did Jesus not accept offerings in the new testament of the bible? Where is the line btw the new and the old testament? Do you know where it is? You think it starts from Mathew, abi? The new testament of the book is not the new testament of religion or the worship of God. The new testament began when Jesus died and rose again. That is the christian's new testament. There is a lot to say bro, u really have to read ur bible first before doing this.

(5)The god in the bible is referred to as the all knowing god. . .the omni potent, omni present and all that. If he is all these, then he should have known that Eve would be tempted by the serpent and she would fall.He should have known how his creation would go till this present day.Why then did he create man when he knew that failure was imminent? The bible says he destroyed the world once and will do it again (some call it rapture, others call it Armageddon, a few think it's both ways). Why create something and condemn it? Is the bible implying that god is confused? That he makes errors? Isn't he supposed to be the all knowing god? Explain this please.

Bro, I have a revelation of who God is and i will share it with you. God is love. Total Love. He loved man before He created man and he wanted man to love Him back So He had to create man with full consciousness. Of course He knew the repercussions, but between the balance of His love for man and the fact that man could love him and know him and the possibility of redemption from the evils we have today, there was hope. You cant say becos of the fear of giving birth to a gay child or a criminal, then you aint bearing children. You can find hope somewhere that it aint gonna be your own child.  i believe this is Widom, that he created man. I am thankful to be here today. I am thankful God gave us a chance, hoping we will redeem ourselves.



(6)The people who brought us Christianity also brought guns,liquor and slave trade (i don't know about you but that doesn't sound "holy-like" to me).They superimposed their religion on the black folks as a means of control.The same people who brought us their religion don't take it as serious as we do.I might be wrong but Nigeria to the best of my knowledge is the most prayerful/religious country in the world (there is hardly any street in Lagos without at least 2 churches or fellowships) and yet, with all the abundance of religion, we are the most cold hearted people to our fellow human beings! Christianity as we know it today originated from the Catholic church whose practices are chiefly unorthodox or in plain English. . .idol worship (how else can you explain worshiping a graven image of Mary, praying to saints,kissing the rings and feet of priests and the rosary. . .all of which aren't mentioned in the bible). Christians all claim to be worshiping one god. . .why then can't a Christ Embassy worshiper spend a few Sundays at Celestial Church of Christ? Why can't a C.A.C Pastor minister in Assemblies of God? Why can't Winners Chapel members worship in K&S? Or are there different gods? Are the so called Christians confused? Please explain these few questions satisfactorily and i'll hold my peace.



Bro, you need not be confused. If you say all christians  must come together and mix i'd say except three is a limit, there wont be any success in the mix. There is such a thing as doctrine and this is the foundattion of each ministry you see today. The Catholics, if you read their history wanted a unified body of christian and it only broght chaos and sufferings and death. They wanted a unification of all religions and that brought about a corruption of the truths of old. It will never work that way. The diversity of revelations that produces doctrines  for each ministry is what, I believe is making the church thrive. The Bible says, God gave to some apostles, some teachers, some the gifts of healing and diverse gifts for the edifying of the church. The diverse gifts given to each one of us, RCCG, Christ Embassy, Deeper etc can  functioning independently yet part of one body of God, the church. More like the the system of the human body. This is God's desgn. The bible talks about  diferent churches too is the time of Paul the apostles.

That the whites brought christianity to us and now we seem to be champions of it is a remarkable, enlightening and sensational  happening. Its a story i love. Its not a failure of religion or christiainity but a failure in humanity. Its human behaviour and it happens everyday in our societies. I heard of a founder of a party who decamped to PDP, aint that funny.

Before the whites came, what we called our religion was bondage to unseen forces controlling this world. What makes the difference btw the white man and the black man today is not the color of the skin? Its just something  that the normal eyes cannot explain. We have intelligent blacks, enourmouse unused resources yet the black  man is in bondage, even in his own home. Have u never wondered why? Why has Nigeria, even with so much wealth and potentials suffered like a slave for so long? I ll tell u why. Becos of the bondage our fathers subjected us to by serving evil and unseen forces of the world. These unseen demonic worship has held us for so long.  But not anymore. We now have the religion of the white. The true religion. Jesus Christ and having saturated our towns and cities this much for this while, Nigeia will be redeemed. To take her position in the world.  Somehow, by God's grace, it will be.

NB : Please, don't give me the usual "god works in mysterious ways" or " the ways of the lord cannot be understood" or " do not question the lord" crap.I've heard it one time too many.

No quams.

Cheers!

I would really love to take you on on all uv been saying but uv said so much. i will deal a few key things you ve said.

When will people open their eyes to realize that everything about religion is a SCAM! ! !

Just look at some of the comments on here and you'll realize that it's the pastors people worship and not some "god". A typical Christ Embassy worshiper calls the name of Pastor Chris 10 times more than their "god".

You are attempting to pass off your poor opinion as facts. Christ Embassy Members do not call the name of P. Chris more than their God. Listening to you for a while, its evident that the root of your disbelieve is becos you havent read this bible you call a sham. No rational judge will condemn a case without first reviewing it, its just so simple. Every movement has a leader and it is not wrong for members of any group to admire their leader. The Bible even supports this and if you have read it, even a little, you wont talk this way.

The way some people carry Christianity on their heads, you would think they have been around since the time of Jesus. They say if you aren't Christian, you'll go to hell. . .what happens to your forefathers who died before the white slave traders came? Will all of them go to hell because of their ignorance?

It is rational for any man to propagate what he believes, just like you are doing here. Preaching your own gospel. If uv read the bible you would knw that it encourages christians to[b] carry christianity on their head. [/b] Its not an advice, it is an instruction which most times has penalties.
The bible has made it clear about Hell and has given christians the maths on it will affect all men. Its not for christians to say who goes there or who wont but we have an instruction to tell all men.

Nobody till date has been able to answer questions like these because they are all blinded by their GREED for blessings and FEAR of the unknown and they would rather believe in something that has a lot of inconsistencies than not believe in anything at all. Greed and Fear are the two greatest weaknesses of mankind and if you can overcome those two, you can overcome anything!

Really dont understand this phylosophy but i will tell u this: Greed and fear and just another aspect of humanity lost in the midst of so much that constitutes life. Overcoming them has only minor gains. iv heard and seen of selfless, innoncent ppl who died gruesome deaths, and fearless ones who went down like fowls, they did not overcome death or even poverty. Your phylosophy get as e be.

This guy needs explanation about " take it and they will fall down" well, what are they actually taking from P Chris? We know how to get filled with the Holly spirit, the procedure is standard ( Repentance and accepting Jesus as Lord and saviour then one is save, any saved person has the Holly spirit) one cant be saved and still don't have the spirit of God. I have heard some pastors using that word, I will wonder what they are giving that one should take or must take. Remember YOU CAN NOT GIVE WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE !!!!!!!! Depend on what they are giving out. So those takers be carefull what you take from preachers as many are fake.

Some folks will now think this post to be sensible but it actually has no backing from the bible. You dont read your bible sir.

Im no pastor but from my humble understanding of the scriptures, i know that

1. Not all saved persons have the Holy Ghost. Acts 19:1 -6. and
2. The bible shows us that most times the Holy Ghost was received via a physical act, either the laying on of hands or breathing (blowing) on the one been ministered tp. Acts 19:1 -6

You will never understand this practice of Pastor Chris until u really study the bible. Dont hit at ppl when you really dont have facts.

Very upsetting, poster,

thats how i laboured and saved money to pay for a house worth350k / year. I rigourously saved money for 2 years rent with commission, security, cleaning and all included. Only to get there and i was told the landlord want 3 years.

Nonsense

My Lord Thy God!!!

Ppl cant even recognise opportunities when they see one. Go loan some quid and get a lawyer. You wont need to go to the bank to cash money for a long time cos your house go full of am.

PHB showed me no be small.

[size=14pt]Paste her yeye picture here so all we can see[/size]

He's not a talent. He's just a stubborn igbo that knows how to take advantage of the Nigerian situation. Nawa for this guy. The thing strong for him body, If them kill am now, he go dey 419 ppl from him grave.

xothermik:
Is it just me or did some posts vanish from this thread?

Yes. Some very serious posts.I was wondering,

May his soul rest in peace.
@all
this is a hard time for the country and the least we can do is to show sober reflection for the loss of our president.

Looks like everyday is a hard time for the country. Its sad that Yaradua didnt make any impact in our lives when he had the opportunity of a life time.

He was dead for long, his wife and her gang just used him as an opportunity to siphon billions. Now that this has cut them off from government, lets pray this time things play out well. I juat hope this is the beginning of a new day.

Behind, i have a ship load of questons

1. From your experience, how long does it take to render with vray on the average? I think it is frustratingly slow. How can I make it faster.
2. Do dimensions really matter or help produce realistic renders? What units would your recommend? Does vray work with real life dimension or is it irrelevant?
3. Pls can I get a comprehensive tutorial that also deals with materaial and shading from you.

Pls anyone, How can u help?

Naija SWAT. its a funny story tomorow's policing in naija.

I love challenges. A shot from a short i pray to complete if power supply improves a little more. I'd like to render the animation.

With all the heavy presence of self proclaimed intelligent men in Naija, for years we couldnt even get power supply for at least once in few days. Now IBB is talking about who can and cant rule naija. Thank God for Jonathan.

Mennnnnn, that woulda done alot here and he would have been remembered forever. Well, its his money, wetin we go do.

UNBELIEVABLE! He paid 800k and still died. Talk about loosing. There is no way anyone can ever survive the journey outside the cabins, how could he have been so thoughless? Men, it just touches me . . . and naija don dey better, him for just wait small oooooo.

Y.M.E:
My guy, God bless you eternally. na lack of ambition, identity and self worth dey make people pursue all these degrees. No offence to anyone, but if you have all d degrees and still work 4 somebody, then i guess u didn't acquire common sense in all your stupidity studying. The days of job security are far behind us. A company can only have 1 MD at a time, if the founder is not already occupying that position. Politics is neither guaranteed nor safe. The wisest man is the one that educates himself to a degree level (1, maximum 2) then starts something for himself rather than spend further 10 - 15 years acquiring more senseless degrees. God no dey accept degree 4 heaven gate. MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BLOODY IDIOTS!!!!

Nna leave story, we are in a world of worlds so lets just call this a world of the middle class or whatever. Not everyone can be entrepeneurs, inventors of ideas or owners of businesses. There has to be some guys to run the business.

See my own:

We make money here and feed you work-shy british and send money home as well. The same thing your grandady did yrs ago, they stole from Africa and ship back to the UK to develop cities like Liverpool and glasgow, just visit london zoo and see how many stolen items from Africa they displayed there.
How can you even dream of stopping Nigerians from coming here?

Nns yout vexation is misdirected and your argument is ol schoo. You've simply made it worse: the guy said Nigerians have misplaced priorities, you just simply added stupidity to ehsy hr said without knowing.

The US know Nigeria can do with whats already on ground to better power supply. As them see plenty money still remain after so much stealing, them wan come legitimately par take.

u better start renouncing Sudan is worse than Haiti, even with the current crisis. I say it just remain satan deporting Nigerians from hell. Then we'll know its game over.

Nah!!!!!!! Im nat doing this.

They should be disregarded. I didnt need to read much of the story to know they are just dumb. Even if Jo contests, they cant do nada.

hmmmm, up and down, i neva like graph in schook but i can plot naija graph with my eyes closed.

We have not been able to manage our powerlines which is a very simple process and has alloowed it to kill innocent citizens now we are pursuing nuclear technology. Wo, i don pack my bag, i dey relocate.

Pursue and finish the technology we v been using since them born us wey we neva master. Dumb folks.
