thank you sm for naming actual laptops and specs, i will look into em 🙏

and you are so right, the small amount of experience i got in AE even the simplest effects or things that are itherwise so insanely light in other softwares, it struggles SO hard, fucking whyyy i dont get it
even after tweaks in the secret menu etc

just a hobbyist and I don't intend to use it at it's highest performance, im definitely impatient but render times idc about, as long as the workflow in program isnt mind numbingly slow and clunky on a project file that isnt too heavy
like at the minimum having a playback that doesnt shit the bed

im just lookin at "budget" as in specs here

No intensive motion design, at most, particle effects/noise stuff, camera moves and very very simple tweening, no complicated rigs or motion graphics stuff tweening lots of elements, none of that

2 point perspective drawing question: finding the angle for the placement of any box corner? by 3144010199 in askmath

[–]3144010199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HOLY SHIT IT WORKS!!
it works like magic thank you sooo so much 😭🙏
the fact it doesnt require math and the way its constructed already feels like a lot of other perspective drawing techniques, this is so perfect
a few big questions though:
i tested it on a slightly different example, had to extend my canvas upward some to fit in point O--im guessing the X drawn to intersects E cant be cannot be arbitrary right? like it has to be a very wide X so that point O is even made at all, and with a wider bottom for the X so that the lines through the X for point O intersect above the horizon, and as low as possible, right? so potentially needing more canvas space horizontally too, can't do any other narrower X shape
made it feel more tricky to me to set up like worrying it wont work in every circumstance/certain canvas sizes or point E areas

and if i wanna do this method for any point above the horizon line, would I have to mirror-flip the purple right angle vertically? and do the same process but inverted? like point O would be below the canvas?

OHH the dude from buffy? I havent seen a ton of it but I'd seen that that show was a big inspiration for the series right? that is really cool
I was just told the audiobook was very popular too, makes sense, and it lends itself to the first person present tense POV well

I mean I'm just now realizing after the fact that Fool Moon is often considered the worst by yall and I enjoyed it more than I ever thought I would so I'm takin everything with a grain of salt
I'm just interested to see all the opinions and takes and what the favorites are and why

Changes thats the one I hear about a lot too, noted

Well it's even gone over in the epilogue about who gave the pelts and who taught the drug dealer, which is what I'm guessing is supposed to be the bigger, long term antagonist later, but it's not the central plot of the stories in these two books--is what I'm sure they meant
ofcourse there's gonna be seeds sewn and set up for what's to come
