This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Tactic is knowing what to do when there is something to do.
Strategy is knowing what to do when theres nothing to do.

Strategy is actually broad, conceptual planning on a theatre level of opearations. "How to fight the War."

Tactics are in-field methodoligies, usually on a platoon or squad level. "How to take control of the hill."

Strategy is, hopefully, acheived through tactical operations.

my fault, a QD translation error, properly translated and with the proper quotation marks it would be something like:

"The tactician must know what to do whenever something needs doing;
the stategist must know what to do when nothing needs doing".
Savielly Tartakover (1887-1956). International Chess Grandmaster.

A house with 3 rooms + a bathroom, a livingroom and a kitchen, different dimensions each, atm i didnt had a measuring tape so i made QD gross estimates by head by comparing wall sizes to beds/sofas, counting tiles(measured just with my palm) and similar stuff... and wrote em on a map draft...

After that we did grabbed a measuring tape to give the exact dimensions and measured lenght and width+ the diagonals to correct possible measuring errors, i nailed em all down to 10cm2 margin at the most!... i actually kinda surprised myself...

Life spins out of control and back on it's on plan and time, personal plans and strategies be damned. No amount of preparation can forstall some tragedies.


All great projects succeed one step at a time. One lone step firmly placed.

Sounds like you need help bro.. you got a bad case of Tourette's as it shows on this forum..

Tourette's Syndrome is a fairly common childhood-onset condition that may be associated with features of many other conditions.

For every condition section of the site, you'll also find articles and files relating to school-related issues in the Education section of the site. And don't miss the general Behavior section, where you'll find topics of concerns to parents and teachers of children with these childhood-onset conditions or disorders.

Wait, touretteĀ“s syndorme is not a joke... it is real, i had to take care of one 10yr child with it for a month, and is certainly not a joke... he also had among other treasures Coprolalia he started with a "You and me dont speak the same fu*king language" and he meant it for the rest of the time... Perhaps sadder than having Down or a phisical disahability... or maybe it was just that i was not prepared for the whole experience...
