    Walkin' away.

    Or anything else stripperffic.

    I think Sexy Jay had one thing on his mind when he was doing that animation.

    I was going to use Bob Seger's "Her Strut" or Cherry Pie, but Kid Rocks "So Hott" highlights how overtly sexual that walk is... so very well.
  2. I'm gunna strut..."

    Oops, didnt see there was already a thread... and the delete options no longer seem to be available. If a kindly mod could delete this thread, that would be lovely.
  3. 11:40pm, just crashed on the 190.62 drivers.

    *Sighs*
  4. Alright... so it has now started to happen in other games. The problem is getting worse. I think I am just going to RMA the card.

    Thank goodness for EVGA's lifetime warranty.

    Edit: or not... trying one last thing, just checked te eVGA forums and this seems to be a known issue with the 191. series of drivers. Back to 190 or 186 it seems. Will try the "new" drivers out and report back.
  5. I have actually had problems with updating the Bios on win7, for some reason F6 simply hasn't wanted to take, and when I attempt to automatically update with @Bios it will give me either F5 or F4V.

    Updating manually seems to have done the trick and the update has taken root this time.

    I haven't had a display crash in almost a week now, I doubt its fixed, simply that it is not being triggered but at this point I am curious to discover whats causing it, from an academic standpoint if nothing else.

    I hate to say it, but it might be the card. :/

    Do you know what temp the card is running at?
    The card Idles at 45c and will cap out at 72c on full load, which while warm, is well within operating norms for the card.

    If that was the case and the card were dying, I would have the same problem in other games. CoX is the least intensive game I run and I have not noticed a problem in Assassins Creed, Borderlands, Wolfenstein or Empire Total War, nor does it have the issue when running the CUDA Enabled Folding@Home Client or benchmarking with 3DMark.

    My card should still be under warranty so I could RMA it if there is an issue, but I most certainly want to ensure that GPU is the problem and this is not a software/driver issue before going through the trouble of doing so.

    Is there any pattern to the times of day it crashes? What was different about those two days it didn't crash? It might be a background event trying to run that sets it off.

    So, completely isolate to CoH? No crashes when viewing movies online?

    After a crash, can you get into the Event Viewer (not sure if its called that on Vista)? You seem quite competant at gathering important data, but just in case you've not done it before on WinXP, right-click on "My Computer", select Manage, Event Viewer, and System.

    Assuming you know the time of the crash, you may be able to find and open an error message related to the crash.
    I have noticed no discernible pattern. It will happen once, seemingly randomly, I will restart and it will be fine for the next day or two until it happens again.

    I strip down my startup to nothing but RivaTuner & RealTekHD, and the only program I have that autoupdates is windows 7 itself, I could disable that and see if it makes a difference.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

  7. So... everyone else is about as clueless as me?

    Its odd, it hasnt done it in 2 days and then BAM, all of a sudden it starts again.

    Also to note, I did try all the steps in the "Guide: Vista/Win7/Server08 Crash" sticky before posting.
  8. Oh, oh-kay.

    I didn't even see your original response, but thank you anyway!
  9. It happens at least once a day. I will be playing City and boom, all of a sudden my display will freeze and look as if my graphics are being filtered through the brain of a 60's acid freak.

    It happens in both XP and Vista, the only thing I can think of is that its a conflict between city of and the drivers of my GTX280, although I have 2 friends with the exact same card who are not experiencing the problem.

    I would be concerned that the card itself was somehow damaged if this happened on any game other that city of, but so far this is a completely isolated issue with my rig and this game.

    I have the problem on both the nVidia driver installed via Windows Update, and the latest driver from nVidia's website.

  10. Ooo are you picking these up again Shia?

    Loved reading through them the first time, just as good the second!

  11. Congratulations DB, cant wait to see what you can do with it!

    And three Cheers for Battlewraith, Hip Hip! Hurray! Hip hip, Hurray! Hip hip, Hurray!
  12. Woah, that was fast Sartori!

    That looks really freakin cool bro, Nursey, now in full 3D action!

    Dragonberry pointed something out and I completely agree with her:

    Its really very fascinating to see so many different artists interpretation of a character. Even if there working from a similar pose and outfit, they all are completely different and unique in how they approach the subject matter, there style, there choice of media, the use of lighting.

    It's also really wonderful to see other people having fun with the character concept, and you can never have too much sexy Nurse!

    Thank you so much for the 3D piece Sartori!

    As for Poser, I think you have inspired me to check it out, I am all over anything that is easy and intuitive to get into, but can take a life time to master!

    From what I have seen from researching it, there is a huge downloadable Content Community, as well as professional paid downloadable Content, its almost kinda like the Sims in that respect.

    Its looks really interesting and I can't wait to try it out!
  13. Wow... just wow... I don't know what to say, that is beautiful, truly beautiful!

    She looks like a cross between Betty Paige and a 1970's Bond Girl!

    Words fail me as to how overjoyed I am right now, my jaw literally dropped when I saw it and I just stared at the screen for a good 5 minutes, slack jawed before I was able to say anything!

    Your use of lighting, shading, texture, colors just fantastic!

    I love all the little details, like the zipper, the snapping of the glove and the outline of the thumb nail imprinted on the glove, the feathering of the hair!

    Thats just insane... thats beautiful... hell that makes my mouth water... thats so incredibly sexy I cant even begin to describe it!

    Thank you, truly thank you!

    I love it!

    Hee no free time as im studying to be what your Forum avatar is
    (no not someone molested by tentecles , A nurse :P ) Its why my art output is so much less than everyone elses


    [/ QUOTE ]

    There is a severe staffing shortage on Nurses right now, because of the inequality of Pay VS the 3-4 years of Education, Long hours and in many ways having the same job and responsibility's as a Doctor.

    Its something that the person has to really want to do and feel the calling for, and its a very, very much needed position. Doctors may get the glory but its the Nurses that pick us up when were down, make us smile when we feel at our absolute worse and perform most of the duties that the doctors probably should be dont or cant because there so strung out and over worked themselves.

    My love of you as a friend and respect for your as a person just rose even more.

  15. That came out really nicely!

    I got to see this progress step by step over Roses Shoulder and I have to say not only is the quality of your work superb BattleWraith , but also your process.

    From Rough sketch, to a different pose, to shading, to color its been a joy to watch this piece come to life.

    Your a rockstar and you have made Rose very, very happy!

    Thank you!

  16. DB, I know its been said by everyone already... but that is so super ultra mega adorably cute on a stick times ten!

    Have you ever considered doing Illustrations for children's books?

    I know its a step away from Bondage, rufies and ductape but you know... Its a possibility. <.<
  17. Thats coming along nicely, its kinda like that scene from American beauty the the Rose Petals!
  18. Object? I would be overjoyed!

    Let me know if there is anything you would need, like sideways shots etc.

    Edit: Actually, I just had an idea seeing as how 3D Art instead of 2D art, Ill upload an in game 360 view and upload it as an AVI file to Media Fire

    It will only be a small thing but it should provide you with every profile angle you could want and more!


    Poser has always intrigued me, how exactly does power work? Is it much the same as a normal Modeling Suite, or is it like 3D Paper doll where you can import pieces, do dress up and move body parts around?

    I should do some research into it, and perhaps download a trial version or something and see.
  19. Oo0... Sartori I didnt know you did 3D Renders!

    When did you start doing those or was this one of your many talents that I just never found out about, because you never picked up a mic?

    There are some truly beautiful pieces in your gallery!

    I could never get past the 3D Studio Max Tutorials myself... I made a Morning Star and that was about the depth of my patients for it.

    Much love and respect for 3D Modelers!
  20. *Cheers and pops the streamers*

    Yay Darque! Congratulations!

    And thank you so much RocketBoy for having this contest/drawing!

    thanks for the compliment, but the memory is from a comic cover I had found, and somehow deleted... the layout is the same though...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ooooh, I thought you meant you did the characters from memory and I was thinking to myself "What the... does she have a photographic memory, how on earth does anyone remember all those little details about someone elses character you have never seen? And why didnt she just download the screenshots again?" Me and my sleep deprived self, makes far more sense that the pose is from memory, not the characters.

    Silly me!

    Its still a wonderful piece! Very stylistic.
