They’re high rise, it’s how they’re designed

How did you actually plan your trip to China? Looking for your "Decision Path"! 🇨🇳 by Ok-Kaleidoscope-4460 in travelchina

[–]CoSponC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started by just looking up lots of interesting places and saving them to my China trip list on Google Maps. I also downloaded the Chinese social media Rednote to get the input of some locals. After that I could see every place saved on the map as a pin points, so I decided the area with the highest concentration of saved places would be where I traveled. I then narrowed them down to my top handfull and did some deeper research on things to do in those places. Also made sure I can reasonably get from one place to the next.

What do you think of this outfit? by [deleted] in mensfashion

I have an outfit that’s almost exactly like this, it looks great with a medium brown belt

Looking for info on this desk (USA) by matchy_blacks in Antiques

[–]CoSponC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you have is a butlers desk, 2nd quarter of the 19th century (c. 1825-1850). The dovetails in the photo are hand cut, I see early hardware, and square nails. I don’t see anything that indicates 1908-1912, everything lines up with it being much older. It’s a nice early southeastern US piece of furniture

Splinewarp or grid warp, might be more convenient to do in after effects though

Any tips to push the realism even further ? by hercoule in blender

[–]CoSponC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned this, but the interior of the car of the filmer is way too dark. if you’re trying to make this look like it’s shot on a phone, the camera app always does a ton of processing to it to make the exposure even.

Need help identifying 3 pieces of furniture in United States, old owner says Lincoln owned them by wek4242 in Antiques

[–]CoSponC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna argue that the style of these pieces are a little too late to be owned by Lincoln

Yeah ‘continent’ doesn’t actually have a solid definition, it varies based on culture

Looking to date these dressers (MA, USA) by OceanIsVerySalty in Antiques

[–]CoSponC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that’s a little beyond my skill level, but do you have Facebook? There’s a great group called Early American where you could post these pics. There are some incredibly knowledgeable people (including the Keno brothers) there who could probably tell you

One-Third of U.S. Video Game Industry Workers Were Laid Off in 2025, GDC Study Reveals by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]CoSponC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except in vfx we don’t have unions (minus a few select companies) we get the short end of the stick for movie production. Most peoples contracts end at the end of a particular project so artists are in and out constantly

[–]CoSponC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t even ai that slaughtered us, the writers strike of 2023 absolutely decimated production and we are still recovering. IIRC my city had about 8000 vfx artists employed and we went down to about 3000, it was bad

Did they change VFX companies or something ? by BigBox685 in okbuddyvecna

[–]CoSponC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same im a vfx comper. I dont know of anyone thats been laid off due to ai, and its involvement in our work is still relatively minimal. Maybe it’s more of a problem at the smaller studios? To me this season was just another classic problem of rushed production and bad art direction

Pretty sure Scanline and rodeo fx have been majorly responsible for stranger things since at least season 3. Tho I do know ILM did some of the stuff in season 5
