while I'm at it, I've been installing shaders, Mike, and some of them were too dated for 6.5 (no names mentioned) so I have been installing and extracting shaders and bonus tools (the bonus tools are still there), now i have a skinshader below one of yours )I can't remember the name, 3DRC or something, you would know, it's yours, great shade too) in my hypershade that has no icon, just a blank sqaure but when I click on it i get a really good skin shader (strong colours and highlights) in the work area, that's two skin shaders altogether. I get an error message telling me, when i open the hypershade, that Maya can't find the file for 'skin shader', not your skin shader the other one. I don't know what's happened. Is there a tut to fix this, I'm thinking all I have to do is assign a shader file to it, but how...

'she stands with me and is even encouraging me to go for it'

remember to do the same for her. just a friendly reminder from someone who did once forget and learnt the hard way.

thanks to everyone of you!

yes mate, that´s most important. I know what you want to tell me. my girl is suffering from borderline personality disorder for many years now. it is impossible to forget about supporting her... that´s the good thing. LOL!

you don´t have to answer, but I´m too curious right now about what that formative experience was..?

there's many ways selfishness rears its ugly head but the most destructive is when you don't know your doing it and 'hey, I pay the rent, I tell you I love you, what more do you want...' comes in to play.


there is no one time and plenty of one times; when you forget to work as a team and support each other, then everything you do is potentially damaging to the relationship.

some are humorous to look back on but the shirt end is this, my wife is in Japan and I don't know when she will be back if ever. She says she will and she is caring for her grandmother, but my friend she ain't here and it hurts. If I can think of an example I'll tell you nut right now I'm about to eat (the dinner I had to cook alone for myself...:blush: )
