There s a site i used to have which has free HDRI maps but cant remember now.I ll do a check if i can get the site.

I grew up giving women the same respect I give to men but i was getting older i realised that some women were always talking about "women emancipation",liberation etc. and I realised that these women were tackling their perceived gender problems(which is often misplaced) from a wrong perspective.

I dont see the need for the struggle for equality as God has created men and women as equals but there just has to be a head so that cohabitation in marriage can be possible.The funny thing is these women cant withstand the treatment they ll get if they were to be treated as men because men treat their fellow men with disdain and a competitive spirit.

There is nothing more repulsive than a woman who acts (and will eventually look) like a man instead of being that soft talking creature created to make the world more beautiful.

@aseye, go to google and type vray torrent,u should be able to get a good link from any of the results.

Just coming up with a little tutorial.Starting with vray camera.
The images might not be so clear because i have to reduce the size of the image from 900kb to less than 200kb to be able to upload and this reduces the image resloution and makes it blurred.However,u should easily get the gist if u are used to max.

U can achieve very realistic images with vray(using various effects like env.fog ,vray dirt,vray scatter etc)but most times i dont have the luxury of time to use them in my renderings cos i do mostly arch. visualization renderings and have limited time for each project. If u want to do artistic stuff with vray,learn these basics then u can move on to more advanced stages with time.u could also join site communities and fora where ideas can be exchanged.

This first post has to do with basic vray camera settings

bla bla bla

@dblock, no probs. i ll definitely post pics on completion.That might be another 18 months or so from now.

@cgking i ve seen some of ur works n they r cool.which softwares do u use cos i use max 2009 with vray 1.50sp2.if u use maya then i guess there ll be some difference in the tutorial files cos i m thinking of composing a short tutorial lesson which i can give to anyone who wants to learn vray as i currently waste so much time trying to teach people who are interested one on one.i m still learning though as u can never learn max/vray with all the various plugins a 100%.

Ok.I ve seen what u r talking about but the members seem to be few i ll join and may be encourage others.Chess is more than just the game,

What i mean by 'working on' is supervising the actual construction and modifying the design (foundation is finished and site is being sand filled as it is a little swampy).u know a project never finishes (in terms of revisions) until it is handed over.There had been some modifications to the original design due to structural,mechanical and electrical inputs and just came up with a final rending after all these changes.the site is in Yenagoa

final rendering of a project i ve been working on for some time.presently under construction

nice works all

12th world chess champion-Anatoly Karpov

Born: May 23, 1951 in Zlatoust, USSR (now Russia)

Karpov is known as a positional player, one who looked to squeeze every small advantage out of a position and torture his opponent by building pressure. This logical, strategic style made Karpov very difficult to defeat, as he rarely went for complex tactical lines or made major errors, preferring to gain a slight edge with no chance of defeat.

11th world chess champion -Robert James "Bobby" Fischer

Born: March 9, 1943 in Chicago, USA

Died: January 17, 2008 in Reykjavik, Iceland

Bobby Fischer is usually found near the top of lists of the all-time greatest chess players. For a short period of time (roughly from 1970-1972), he was as dominant as any player has ever been over other world-class competition. His energetic style was designed to put maximum pressure on his opponents; combined with his near flawless technique and his insatiable desire to finding winning chances in each game, this made him a difficult opponent to face psychologically for many players.

Fischer was known for his deep opening preparation, so it comes as no surprise that he made many contributions to opening theory. He also made other innovations, such as Fischer Random Chess (today better known as Chess960) and the Fischer chess clock. His insistence that chess players perform under more professional conditions helped raise the amount of money and prestige for elite chess players as well.

Unfortunately, Fischer's legacy was tarnished by his anti-Semitic views as well as his reclusive nature after winning the World Championship in 1972.

10th world chess champion-Boris Spassky

Born: January 30, 1937 in Leningrad, USSR


Boris Spassky was a well-rounded champion who excelled in all areas of the game. He was not an opening expert in terms of depth of knowledge, but he did play a wide variety of systems well throughout his career. His play was flexible and adaptable to the situation at hand, which made him a difficult opponent to prepare for.

9th world champion-Tigran Petrosian

Born: June 17, 1929 in Tbilisi, Georgia (USSR)

Died: August 13, 1984 in Moscow, Russia

Tigran Petrosian was known for his incredible defensive capabilities, which made him among the most difficult players to defeat in the history of chess. This style earned him the nickname "Iron Tigran." Of course, as a World Champion, Petrosian was strong in all aspects of the game; but his ability to sense tactical danger and maintain the safety of his position is what stands out when looking at his games. Rather than look to land a spectacular finishing blow, Petrosian was satisfied with accumulating small advantages and winning strategically.

# Won four Soviet Chess Championships
# Remained a Championship candidate (or World Champion) for 10 consecutive cycles spanning 30 years
# In ten Olympiad appearances spanning 139 games, lost just 1 game (+78 -1 =50)

[size=8pt][size=8pt]WHO CARES ABOUT THIS UGLY DUCKLINGS!![/size][/size]

ONLY ONE OF THEM IS OK

I ve lived in Lagos,abuja and port harcourt and can say that the list of the most expensive to the least goes thus:

1.Port Harcourt
2.Abuja
3.Lagos

Abuja only beats port harcourt in terms of accomodation.But u could get reasonable house rents in some of abuja's outskirts not too far from the city.
Transportation is also cheaper in abuja as a distance which will cost u 300 bucks in abuja will cost u nothin less than 700bucks in ph.
Its only in lagos that things are reasonably priced.

Mikhail Tal-8th world chess champion

Born: November 9, 1936 in Riga, Latvia

Died: June 28, 1992 in Moscow, Russia


Mikhail Tal was known as "The Magician from Riga," and with good reason. His tactical prowess was perhaps the greatest of any of the World Champions, and his imaginative, aggressive attacking play was difficult for opponents to resist. He would often make speculative sacrifices -- sometimes sound, sometimes not -- that would force his opponents to solve difficult problems. Rather than concern himself with playing the objectively "best" moves, Tal seeked to find moves that his opponents wouldn't be able to deal with.

Vasily Smyslov-7th world chess champion

Born: March 24, 1921, in Moscow, Soviet Union (now Russia)


Smyslov may have had the least distinctive style of the World Chess Champions. He is mainly known as a positional player, strong in the endgame and possessing excellent technique, but was also capable of finding deep combinations at times, adapting to the situation as need be.

Smyslov did not found a school or style of chess, but he was a rather prolific contributor to opening theory.
