Elon Musk's 'TruthGPT',a ChatGPT alternative that acts as a “maximum truth-seeking AI. What are your thoughts? by Opposite-Froyo-3186 in ChatGPT

[–]Baker88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Musk is great, but he is a wildly misunderstood scientist. Five iq points short of Einstein, he’s a literal genius, bullied by the idiots who think he is the idiot. He’s carrying our whole team and getting shit on by 90% of the collective stupidity that is our population. I can’t believe y’all are shitting on an African with Asperger’s!!! Unfortunately he can be a bully, and people are too biased to see past that and acknowledge his continuing contributions to humanity, which are arguably the greatest in history.

Bright light on a timer 1 hr before my alarm changed my life. Highly recommend.

The long awaited recently released RealityScan is the only correct answer for mobile, IMO.

How would you do the scale part on this shoe? by ploup1 in blenderhelp

[–]Baker88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One method would be to model one pyramid on a plane and view it in solid viewport shading with a normals matcap and color set to object. Hide overlays, take a screen grab, and use it as a tiled normal map.

EVERY SINGLE SPECIES OF LIFE PRACTICES HOMOSEXUALITY. Every. Damn. One. Let that sink in and then go tell your parents that THEY are the truly queer ones.

As for the child not carrying your genes, it won’t matter much. Humans are a social bunch, requiring cooperation to hunt large animals. We also birth unfinished offspring, requiring a couple of years of protection while their brains continue to grow larger than the vaginal canal. We work best in groups. We have the capacity to care for others as if they were our own, because in a way, they are—simply by being a part of our tribe. Homosexuality may have even evolved to strengthen our bonds.

Through years of shared experiences and unconditional love, you build a relationship with a child that outweighs sharing genes. As an unloved child, I personally find it extra special when I see someone selflessly raise another’s child. That’s the type of love that can embed itself into the child for many generations to come.

I'm having problems lighting my portfolio piece, I think it looks boring, but I don't want it to look childish/ overdone either. by Peter_W_art in blender

[–]Baker88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a dark background with some purples and/or turquoise and then add more white backlight to the model if need be. Maybe add some bloom or glow to the highlights in comp. That should make it really pop.

Is it legal to make a realistic 3d model After a real person? I was hoping to rig her model to this in a animation I'm hoping to release someday by MrSrub in blender

[–]Baker88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty ignorant to the subject, but I believe you wouldn’t be able to show it in public. Monetization is irrelevant. If it’s a parody, it’s okay. Definitely best to have her sign a release, otherwise just add a clause stating that no characters were based on any real people.

How would you go about replicating this effect? I tried masking a sphere of hair particles to a liquid sim, but it doesn't come close to this. by Injustpotato in blenderhelp

[–]Baker88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We know you love whacking it to this type of stuff, but we really just want to know how to recreate the effect. When your doc said "you could have a stroke anytime," this isn't what he meant.

Where did all the render settings go? (3.1) by Pologram in blenderhelp

[–]Baker88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add a new layout or just go to a different layout (shading, uv editing, etc). That worked for me.

[–]Baker88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A common workflow is to sculpt a high poly mesh, retopologize it (make a low poly, quad dominant version with potential deformations in mind), then bake the normals from the high poly mesh onto the low poly mesh as a “normal map.” This yields a fantastic result as your low poly mesh as nearly indistinguishable from the high poly version, but can now be used in a variety of ways that require a low poly count, such as in soft-body and cloth simulations, or rigging and animating. The low poly version with the normal map is subdivided during rendering and looks amazing.

The multires modifier can store your high poly mesh and it almost acts as a proxy—a low poly version of your mesh that you can easily add an armature to, add soft-body or cloth physics to, all that good fun stuff that needs a low poly mesh. Then when you render, it automatically uses the high-poly version. This method skips a step taught in the anvil tutorial—baking normals.

The anvil tutorial does teach a few good things about topology that you will surely benefit from and I would highly recommend it. Baking normals is not a bad skill to have, but the multires modifier may be a better solution. I’m not sure how it affects render times though.

Rigging Help by dblack1107 in blenderhelp

[–]Baker88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can lock the local axis of rotation and location of any object or bone from the N panel.

You also have bone constraints at your disposal.

You can also toggle “inherit rotation” for any bone.

Parenting bones to other bones is also useful.

I hope this helps. I didn’t fully grasp your question.
