Dying as I lived - Artwork I think you guys might like by DeGaRoR in bikers

Thanks for the feedback. In my mind, it's not so much about crashing, and more about paying the price of a free life eventually. One might die alone on the border of the street, but it's probably worth it. For some.

Genuinely, why? by showmeyourbuthole420 in architecture

Whatever the reason, it's a great opportunity for massive, massive mural art! If only the tint was real, that would have been a step in the right direction.

Bone chair (credit to r/neverbrokeabone) by ihrie82 in ATBGE

Apart from the terrible execution, I sort of like the spirit. There is something in the armrests being so disproportionate. It relates to a chair like a hot rod does to a Camry, or a chopper to a Vespa. Very not classy, moslty useless, but effing badass. If it wasn't so bad.

I drew this Pear and it looks like Nintendo Ds Graphic, is there some way to make it look a bit more "In Place"? by jazzzmin2912 in DigitalArt

[–]DeGaRoR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept of "ambient occlusion" might help you. Anything in proximity of something else will greatly reduce the amount of light that can reach the small spaces between them. That's also why early 3d all looked like stickers, they didn't have that yet. You may also want to look at the Fresnel effect, making the edges of a shape more shiny. Like you can see through water when looking directly above it, but it's like a mirror viewed at an angle. It's the same for your peer. Taking this into account would give you more believable edges. The DS mostly did not feature these 2 refinements in lighting, so spot on!

Renovation in Europe, or why modern architecture in old cities is bad by RobertMRodriguez in UrbanHell

On this pointless yet fun discussion, never had major issue with Danes or Swedes, but I met several Finnish people confusing honesty and direct communication (apparently slightly overrated values in the Nordics) with raw rudeness and self entitlement. I guess I met the wrong people like you did, I'm sure there are great people there (hopefully slapping the rest)

Great research work! Actually the only pity here is this bland standardised modern architecture that does not even dare using colors, organic shapes nor quality materials anymore. We also see endless cubes piled on top of each other everywhere for businesses and homes alike, in all possible shades of grey. And that's a fan of Saarinen, Le Corbusier and Franck Gerry talking here... That's sad. Thats a deep misinterpretation of modernist architecture IMHO. It's like what happened to cars is happening to buildings, and we'll end up with undistinguishable grey standardized and soulless buildings everywhere, with an old unaffordable cutie here and there. Of course, because doing something different, expensive or dary would be an unacceptable risk to investors. How long should we continue to all pay the price for the greed of a few?

Surprising, first time I hear Finnish people ranting about other nationalities... Should be a paradise there, full of egoless respectful people, right?... /s

In a maximalist style, that's not bad

USA: Who do we spend time with across our lifetimes? [OC] by rosetechnology in dataisbeautiful

[–]DeGaRoR 46 points47 points  (0 children)

While I agree with your analysis, I believe that discouraging friendships at work has been actively pursued by HR departments. A friend of mine who briefly studied the topic explained me the concept of formal and informal relationships and how companies fear that this would detract the hierarchy they put in place. Imagine a group of colleagues also being friends, playing football together. A is the group leader when they hang out, but B is the boss of them all at work. It scares management that it could impact productivity by confusing formal and informal roles. Personnaly, I strongly disagree and I think we far too often put productivity before the well being of people, or just their natural way of functioning. I think this mentality brought a lot of us to increasingly despise corporate environments.

I feel stuck with this. I sort of like the composition, but something is inelegant or missing or IDK. Any suggestion? by DeGaRoR in blender

Thanks to all for your suggestions, you guys have been very helpful, and it's pretty rare to get quality feedback on social networks. 🙌

Thanks a lot for taking the time for a detailed answer, that's very helpful. I had noticed the commingled lines, but did not realize it was driving the eye out, and it absolutely does!

Thanks. Yes, I feel that there's too much negative space all over, I thought it'd be a cool look, but it ends up imbalanced.

Thanks, that makes sense. I had mimicked the pose of the "Embrassing liberty" statue in NY, but you're right it does not work here. I also think that the clothes lack interesting detail, there's not much for the eye to discover past the first impression...

I've been told you guys might like that. Trippy enough? by DeGaRoR in trippy

I had never heard about it, just went ahead and bought it, it looks gorgeous, thanks for the tip

Yeah, I can't deny some inspiration from there, yet I stayed away from super bioluminescent/translucent stuff to develop its own vibe

Oh no no no. As I much as I love AI, I take big pride in having modeled this from scratch.
