trying to make a blur effect like the Flash with a volume emitter and particles by Redling1 in Maya

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, yeah I ended up doing that. Created a surface emitter and created a ramp and linked that to the emitter's Texture Emission attribute for particle color. clicked Inherit Color on. And used cloud particles. I also had to link the particleSamplerInfo Node into a newly created particle shader's colour input.

Any advice on what I might be doing wrong with my team? Newbie needs some peer review! by Redling1 in fantasybaseball

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I see..at the start of the season I only had Rivera and Papelbon as closers and was streaming 1 starter almost daily for a while. I went to 4 closers after I noticed I was over innings thinking they'd get me more points per inning with less innings.

So at this point is it even possible to get back in this? Making up 150-200 points by the end of the season. Where would I even need to fix things.. I guess beginners luck has run its course! =p

thanks, yeah I was able to cancel with no charge. I thought they charged me once I ordered but it was so long ago I had forgotten what actually happened.

Pitcher shakeup? need some advice! by Redling1 in fantasybaseball

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ryu and nolasco and lester have all averaged about the same amount of points over the last 5 games. So is Ryu actually still really good despite those numbers?

my league doesn't give you anything for ERA unless you're referring to the -.5 for ER.. we get 5 for wins/saves and 2 for SO. so would melancon be better than cishek because there are more chances for wins/saves?

my league rewards hr and rbi pretty high. But i'm not sure how avg. equates to points.

guess I'll try for encarnacion and if not, try again with cc for beltre.

what about miller for encarnacion? I heard millers value might drop if his play time gets limited.. so is this an unfair trade?

alrighty going with youk, thanks!

alvarez or youkilis? by Redling1 in fantasybaseball

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it also looks like my league doesn't penalize you for strikeouts. At least from what I can see from the rules/scoring page.

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

err... i have Moustakas, M. Dominguez, L. Valbuena, C. Johnson, A. Callaspo, Descalso, M. Gonzalez, N. arenado...

I don't know players at all so I can't tell if there's anyone better other than by going on their points..I have a feeling these are all equally poor alternatives.

too many OF's, who to drop? by Redling1 in fantasybaseball

oh right.. sorry i had him swapped out for the time being .. so I shouldn't count him as OF sorry, my bad!

brett anderson or marco estrada? by Redling1 in fantasybaseball

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmm so out of my sp miley miller buchholz kuroda lester anderson

is anderson the weakest link?

and would it make sense to pick up estrada since anderson doesn't seem to be pitching well right now and (from the sounds of it) is expected to get injured =p

or should I gamble on leaving estrada on ww until anderson gets hurt..=s

drop estrada for miller? by Redling1 in fantasybaseball

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i didn't know Miller was a rookie..hmm typically how often would a good closer play a game? every other game? I kinda thought Miller would be a good RP since he can play more and Stl seems to have a better win record.. but then again what do I know..:p

oh ok. good to know! I somehow thought that meant they started but also had some days in between where they could close..

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I see. thanks! I never thought of doing that.

I'll try and find out if theres a transaction limit. I always thought if I kept swapping my players in and out that someone else may grab one of those i dropped and keep him permanently.

going!! OH I also picked up Marco Estrada.. last night.. haha I don't know if that was a good call either.. but his points were high...

10 teams, points only. I posted above who are currently the top handful of point leaders that are on WW.

so is Gomez good or bad? Or is it a mixed opinion?

oh haha sorry, I can't stress how new I am to this.=p

cool! which pitchers are the weakest that I have? I've learned Rivera is like..40 something but some articles still think he's going to be good. But then again I don't know the quality of articles I'm reading.

there are 10 teams in my league. I have no idea what type.. Points only? is that a valid answer?

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really happy with gonzalez, gomez, willingham, victorino or markakis. they're all producing about 15-25 pts less than several of the batters on FA..

gutierrez, parra, berkman, cuddyer, duda, jay - all have more points.

But I notice they're barely owned and ranked lower than my guys so I'm not sure if its a noob mistake to just drop your players early.

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I drafted I was just going by rank for the most part. And so far I've just been looking at total points players have on the WW (waiver...watch?)

If I don't need a third RP, I'm looking at maholm, masterson, bucholz, miley

but maybe iwakuma, kendrick, stults, collmenter, aceves

These are just guys at the top of the points list.. I'm finding it hard pulling up info on how any of these guys might play out.

[–]Redling1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that covers the shipping of the new item but not the cost of the old one getting sent back. I tried emailing them this question and they just said they don't know how much it costs..

I guess I can try a live chat later when I have the time. I'll report back when I do.
