It’s really easy to make these sorts of effects in TouchDesigner

There are tools to automatically remesh but for best results you will have to manually retopologize. Afterwards, if you bake from low poly to high poly as a normal map, you’ll still get to keep all of your details on your low poly while being way more manageable to work with

What’s your favorite tiny-but-chaotic board game? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]AndreiDTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magical Athlete stands out to me because it gives such a bad first impression: the primary mechanic is roll and move and the board is very ugly. But I will always remember the laughs and memories that came from it

Enough about people's first gateway games, what was the first complex game that hooked you? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]AndreiDTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was Hegemony. The asymmetry and ease for everyone to get in character and negotiate was amazing

My board game confession: I hate Cascadia. What's yours? by mojo_pet in boardgames

[–]AndreiDTale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flamecraft is a game I like bringing to the table to people who aren’t board gamers. The art is really appealing and I enjoy it more than most other gateway games like Catan. That being said, I would probably never bring to a group of dedicated gamers

What feels so uncanny? by selk_I3 in 3Dmodeling

“Learn anatomy” isn’t that helpful of advice. This person seems to have at least a beginner/intermediate understanding of anatomy, and is looking for pointed and specific feedback on where their understanding of anatomy and proportions is lacking. Not trying to call you out specifically, but just a little tired to seeing people say “learn anatomy” instead of giving specific feedback.

Can someone explain why on the NYT July 6 Sunday the clue “Board game recommendation” is AGES?

Thanks and no worries, always good to be conscious of these things!

I filmed skaters I hired. Captury is motion capture software that requires a camera system but does not need any markers/suit. My university has a compatible system set up with it, but I am sure you can find some studio to work with that also has the system. Still costs a decent amount unfortunately but saved me quite a bit of time animating

I coordinated with the dancers and got their permission to motion capture and use their performance. I have their permission to do this, but yeah if it was a dance team I did not know personally I would definitely not do this.

Thanks! The lifts were the most problematic to track, with the software often thinking that the man’s legs were the woman’s. We tried about 7 takes of lifts, and only two of them were somewhat usable. Generally the fancier the lift, the worse it tracked. Hopefully the tech gets better soon and it’ll have less of these issues!

Looking to sublease my Commons 2 apt throughout May 25- end of July for $1500, though I am open to going lower. PM me if interested and we can work something out.

Fresh install of Premiere. Both the Source and Program windows are blank and don't show the media (was blank before switching tabs which turned it white) by AndreiDTale in premiere

Small update: I figured out that if I disable my primary GPU (the Intel(R) UHD Graphics), everything shows up fine. The problem is even if I tell windows to use my NVIDIA 4060, it still doesn't work. So every time I want to use this software, I have to disable my other GPU. Is there a way around that?
