I wonder if they can get it to automatically texture from the original photos. Probably not, or they would have shown that. It would be the most useful rendering.


Texturing is the easy part. It's the retopolgising and uving that'd be the killer (at least until Ptex is supported by more renderers, anyway)

On a side note, the 'texture' at the end is a shader.... but hey, who cares when the music is so awesum?!?!

Wow, that massaging cat has the same markings as my (older) cat. Haven't seen that before.

Wow, an extreme compositing fail if nothing else.

Instead of defending your views of the bible, you spend all your effort and energy defending how it's our fault that you're not willing to reason.


Yeah, funny that. Maybe I just like stirring.

Do you mean the parts in the New Testament that teaches masters how they should beat their slaves? Or the parts that tell slaves that they should obey their masters like they obey Christ?


Since you have such an intimate knowledge of how the bible "was written by men to reflect the traditions and social mores of that time period", I'll let you figure that one out.

Do you selectively ignore these passages when you read the New Testament? Is that how you delude yourself into believing?


Oh yes. I found early on that when I really wanted to delude myself, better than selectively ignoring passages, I'd ignore all of them and just work on second-hand knowledge.

I know, your own words sound pretty terrible when I throw them back at you eh:


No really, I meant it. Well done. It didn't mean anything, and was possibly the worst ownage attempt I've ever read, but it sure sounded spiffy.

Well, I'm amused to see that throughout all your answers r10k, you have failed to give any reason AT ALL to refute Terry.


After saying numerous times that I'm not going to attempt a spoon feeding session for people who prefer defending their set opinions ad infinitum, instead of simply reading a book, I'm not sure why that amuses you.

Bravo, you are the prime example of those who attack anyone who draws Terry's conclusions about the bible 'Well you read it wrong', and then no further discussion.


Discussion is pointless on this site. People posted how they liked Terry and everything he says or does. I said my piece. Someone asked a question and I said a little more, but I'm no lesser a person for not indulging your desire to be spoon fed easily accessible information in for the form of what you would call a discussion. If that makes me one of 'those people' in your eyes, then that's just tough.

it makes no sense for him to comment as what he says is of no value as in there is no data or substance to annything he has put. maby this is what allows him to blindely belive in the bible ?


See comments above. Substance is available to anyone that can open the bible and read.

You're right, it is incredibly easy to understand: the bible is a fake book written by men to reflect the traditions and social mores of that time period. And I totally agree, we should stamp idiot tattoos on the forehead of anyone who doesn't get it.


Wow, someone's been saving that last sentence for a special day. Terry would be proud.

To attempt to ridicule THIS MAN because he has read the same material as you but forms a different opinion borders on the farcical. You engender the 'bible-thumping' stereotypes by doing this at all. Terry is more intelligent than you or i, more witty, far more experienced, he's read more than most of us ever will - yet when he expresses his opinion on a writing, you try to call him small minded.


Is 'small minded' your term of the day or something? I don't remember calling him that.

Terry is more intelligent than you or i, more witty, far more experienced, he's read more than most of us ever will - yet when he expresses his opinion on a writing, you try to call him small minded.


I get that you like him. We all get that you like him. Contrary to popular belief though, just because someone is nice and a good writer, doesn't mean the answers to the universe and knowledge of all written works is theirs. Even the smartest of people get things wrong. When the bible says, "The answer to A+B is C." and Terry talks about A+B as if there's no answer to it, it's fair to say Terry has (and as I said) missed the boat. Sorry to shatter the illusion that he is perfect.

the fundamental problem is that we know from historical data that the bible was written in a fragmented fashion by different people over different periods of time


I think you have no idea what you're talking about. I think if you tried to prove your point the first place you'd scramble for is google to look up some info on the topic. I know about that side of things, and it's not fertile ground for picking on the bible, unless you really have no idea what you're on about.

If you take the bible literally why are you not out stoning gays and doing everything exactly as it is in the bible?


That's a great question, isn't it? Why do you think that is? Do you think it's because every Christian is an idiot? Or, do you think someone out there might have a reasonable answer to it?

The answer's in the bible. Go look for it. Aside from the odd nugget I don't offer up the answers on here because people genuinely have no intention of listening to what's being said. Why waste my time? Everyone's made up their mind to worship their man-heroes (whoever they are) and defend their opinion on everything. I'm not hiding where the answers are. If you have a brain and can lay your hands on a bible, you can find the mysterious answer to this baffling question in no time at all.

If you're a person who can't be bothered looking or being open to changing their opinion, then no matter what someone says on here you will forever remain confounded by something so simple. End of story.

Could you expand upon what you think he says here that is clueless about the bible?
Obviously Terry, or anyone else who doesn't believe in god, is clueless because he doesn't know how to properly pick and choose and selectively re-interpret the Bible to delude himself to believe in it. Because the Bible can't possibly be wrong, only our understanding of it.
Universe created in 7 days? Oh it's only a metaphor.
Fit all the species on a wooden boat? The boat was probably magical.
Explain how you should buy slaves? Oh God's probably just joking around.
Forbidden to eat shellfish? Yeah I'm not going to follow that one.
My favorite is the parts about selling your daughter off into slavery. Going to keep that one handy in case my daughter disobeys me.
On a serious note, I've never read his books. What's a good place to start?


The simple answer, spoco2, (so I don't waste my entire day trying to argue this stuff on here, the home of devout anti-christian fanatics) is that anyone who reads God as a maniac from the old testament just hasn't paid attention, stumbling at one of the most basic theological understandings. In other words, it's just plain missing the boat. It's like watching the first 30 seconds of a movie and trying to explain everything about it. People who do that are called idiots, and people who do the same with the bible get a similar title. It's just dumb, no matter which way you slice it, because you're obviously going to get stuff wrong. I don't expect everyone to decide on Christianity when reading the bible, but I expected more from Terry.

Mentality, your statement about selling daughters off into slavery is a great example of this. I'm mean really, if I have to explain that one to someone, they may as well permanently stamp an idiot tattoo to their forehead, it's so incredibly easy to understand, especially when it's spelt out in the equivalent of bright neon lights throughout the new testament.

Terry is a legend, but it's amazing to me (again) that such respected people are so clueless about what the bible says. What isn't amazing to me is that every video with an anti-god sentiment made by a popular person (no matter the drivel it contains) speeds into the top 15.

What the hell happened at the end? I was sitting there listening to one of the best live recordings I've ever heard when some crazy bitch started talking over it. Someone needs to get fired.

Someone call me when a proper anti-Christianity video is posted.

"Lock on, and enlarge the z axis..."

Yep, Australia got fucking jipped last WC but Italy.

Pretty much any cat will play that game, but that is cute

I think I saw that computer in Fallout 3.

I believe "Zinnia Jones, Queen of Atheism" is a woman, people.
