  1. I've had 4 Modelos, 8 shots of Jagermeister, and 3 Innes & Guns while watching the new Grand Tour and some episodes of season 6 of Deep Space Nine.

    Needless to say, I'm in a bit of a mood.

  2. Having this in front of me now makes it look kinda bigger a project than I had thought

    (yes, I missed the series so far)

  3. RE: tenforward.social/@garak_quote

    I thought about the exact quote, like, an hour ago? I have been re-reading The City of Blades, by Robert Jackson Bennett, where a character refers to the ends justifying the means, which is more or less the point that Garak is making here...

    ... and it is such a perfectly Garak thing to say, pragmatic and morally ambiguous, unusually dark for Star Trek (maybe that is why it has stuck with me so much?).

    I can't even say that I disagree with Garak's moral calculus in this specific instance: as general (qualitative) statement "the end justifying the means" can, has been and will be used to excuse horrors. As a quantitative statement, suggesting that we attempt to balance the consequences of our actions, it seems a reasonable approach to living a moral life in an imperfect world.

    Now we only have to agree on what is good and evil, and what weights to apply before doing our moral sums....

    Anyway: good bot!

  4. "Overgunned and overpowered"

    I converted Chris Kuhns new blueprint-correct U.S.S. Defiant to C4D/Redshift. Since the texture emissions did not work well in Redshift I added some mesh-based area lights, that used the texture emission submeshes as emitting objects, that works far better and also is far more controllable through area light settings.

    This is a first quick test render.
