Art, Graphics & Video › Re: Is Maya The Best For 3d? by grafikdon: 2:16pm On Jun 19, 2007

NO. Maya is not the best, there is no such thing as the 'Best' 3D application since they all come with strengths and weaknesses, or to put it in a more appropriate perspective, some have features that far outshine the features in others while it takes a huge amount of time to do something in one app that usually requires little or no time in the other app. 'Best 3D app' only exist in the world of people with proficiency limited to one 3D app or those who think they have tried ''them'' all when they only doodled with ''them'' or brushed the surface without actually coming up with any tangible project.

If you're already comfortable with Maya, why bother with other apps? Unless there's something that's giving you migraine in Maya, I suggest you stick with that. I am an advocate of mastering multiple 3D apps but the biggest down side is you are exposed to all their strengths and weaknesses , making it impossible to do anything with one app from scratch. This is not necessarily a bad thing but it could become a huge source of frustration and confusion if you're working on a very large project.

One doesn't necessarily have to use the words "independent black woman is above cooking'' to make a point. I got that impression from reading the thread and from people who get their feathers all ruffled at the single mention of ''cook for your husband'' even if it was clearly meant as a joke. Nah, ''independent white women'' actually cook since. . . besides, I can't remember an ''independent white woman'' who tried to decapitate me for refusing to address her as Dr,Dr,Chief,Loolo,Pastor, Barrister, Engineer, Technician, Kabiyesi Wilkinson grin

Why all the name calling? Davidylan isn't confused, he simply refused to say things the ''independent black women'' want to hear. Abeg o, na true he dey yarn, if you no like am, you're on your own o. I don't even understand why some of you are fuming. . . is a woman knowing how to cook an abomination? Is it an abomination for a woman who knows nothing about cooking to learn how to cook? Na wa for WAEC o. . .una just dey carry this ''independent black woman'' thingy too far. I am pretty sure our mothers are the real independent black women and they are excellent cooks. Does that make them slaves? If your answer is yes, na your own mama be slave o. Like David D said, "Go and buy a good cookery book or better still, ask daddy for tips''. . .while you are at it, grab some magi and knorr cubes . . . cooking ain't no rocket science, neither is it an abomination nor ''beneath'' the ''independent black women'' grin

gbeborun:
And for those of them that havent seen an Osu person, i wonder if they expect the Osu people to put a tag on their head proclaiming they are osus (as if it's something to be proud off). @Laudate, Imani etc kudos to you guys, really enjoy your contributions.

I think you are getting it all mixed up. Nobody here ever denied the existence of the Osu system, they were merely trying to correct the erroneous concept of "Osu has taken over Igboland" and this simply means, "If Osu has taken over Igboland as you claim, how come I have never seen/experienced such a discrimination?". This by no means does not suggest denial, it simply lends credence to the fact that the Osu system is not as widespread as it is touted and that it is a despicable practice that is fast slipping into oblivion. I have heard tales of Osu but have never actually experienced such a discrimination especially in my home town, you know how close knit Nigerian communities can be, words fly , everyone knows each other so there is no way anyone can hide such a sickening discrimination from people.

The bottom line is: Osu is a reality. Is it a wide spread practice in Igboland? NO. Is it as prevalent as it used to be? NO it is fast slipping into oblivion and may as well be a down low practice since you're bound to draw fire from everyone around you. That's the reality.

I can't see a spade and call it a cow. . . actually, I cringe when I see anything I did before EOTRS. . . heck I have done better stuff since EOTRS and I kinda don't even like EOTRS at the moment. . . you know, because of the new 'Village Movie'

Here, on this thread. I know that's hasty generalization but I have always believed that a present experience is indicative of the present situation. I'd speak to my friends and read more. I'd also have my friends in the print media look into it.

That's pretty much a better way of getting some accurate information. Nairaland is full of people with disturbing hatred towards other ethnic groups. . . makes it extremely difficult to sift facts and genuine concern from a putrid pool of prejudice and malice.

I can't believe that this is still as pronounced as it was in the 40s and 50s. At times I wonder if Christianity has not been reserved for the church and formal occasions; isn't this what the power of Christ came to destroy? At times we wait too long for the whites to come in to take credit for what we know is barbaric. Like the killing of twins; I see an end in sight

No, it is not as pronounced as it was in 40s and 50s. Pray tell, where exactly did you get that erroneous information?

When the Yoruba stop ogboni and its fetish practices (to which at least 70 % of Yorubas belong), stealing Nigeria's money by their elites and burying Obas with human heads; and the hausa stop sharia and religious riots, almajirism and marabouting, they (eg Laudate) can advise the Igbo who practise Osu to end it. Balderdash

I don't see the connection with Osu. Any Igbo who still practices that abominable concept should stop it! It doesn't matter if the advise came from Sanni Abacha or Awolowo.

Culture › Re: Let's End The 'Osu' Problem by grafikdon: 10:26pm On Jun 14, 2007

That system is almost dead but I am surprised the way folks are painting it here, like it's the big parcel of Igbo culture. I know and I have heard (and read) about the Osu business and for all the 22 yrs I spent in Igbo land from Anambra to Abia, I didn't see any Osu, not even once. Those who find it odd (Igbo man/woman that's never seen an Osu) have formed their own idea of the Osu problem and will try so hard to cling to the product of their twisted imagination.

@ Kemji, I use Photoshop. I dunno about tips but I simply use some brush with pretty much low intensity. I use mouse o, tablet and all, I just no dey touch them sef.

@Gbade, yup the good ol fashined way is still cool but you will enjoy the digital ink and paint once you get the hang of it . . . heck I even paint portraits with Photoshop and get even better resulst than oil/acrylics on canvas.
