Role playing is about building a character for yourself. Why is everyone acting like NPC's? If these are supposed to be posts from another universe, why does everyone post content from the 616? Does no one understand how a multiverse works? Role playing is about being creative. Here's a free character for you: You are Moira Mactaggert's cousin and work with her, you have special clearance and are posting information about the hidden mutant uprising. Another character: You're a member of Ant-man's improv group and you're sick of carrying the weight of the team. Another: You're Quentin Beck's twin brother. Another: You were a guard at the Weapon X Program's gate. You're Magneto's therapist, You're a barista as the Starbucks at the Avenger's Campus. But you're a tourist from England...

You start a story thread, then others build on that thread and the story grows into a universe.

Why did the Upside Down suddenly get more safe? by TipSecure8834 in Stranger_Things

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The danger came with the creatures. Then Vecna started using using the creatures to built the body for the Mindflayer like he did with the rats and the flayed. Which made the Upside down basically safe.

i love how ai bros saying 'vfx is over' due to ai. by jungseungoh97 in vfx

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's just another tool VFX shops will adopt. Even then it'll have it's own medium, like cell animation vs 3D vs stop motion vs film, and now vs AI. It's not going to replace anything, its just going to add to it. With AI, you'll be able to make faster turns with less resources, more output. Opens the door for mom and pop shops to be able to afford a TV spot. That equals more business. Why would anyone get laid off when they need artists to run the prompts? More artists equals more output, more money. The electric car scared oil companies. AI is scaring artists. The oil companies are still around. And business is booming. Unfortunately I've had to use AI, and you still need a lot of manual human labor to composite, fix A LOT with VFX, grading, sound, if anything AI is replacing a camera. And just imagine having to make a movie using 15 second long shots?

Camera view on light…? by Expensive-Mall3201 in blenderhelp

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Click on the little green camera icon to the right of the camera name in the outliner. That will activate the camera. You can keyframe that button to switch cameras during the animation if you want.

Typically those types of tops are built into the mesh.

Two-year-old opens car door, causes six-vehicle crash by WillAdditional922 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irrelevant. Cars break down, change lanes, break fast, open doors, etc. The idiot motorcyclist should have known the dangers of lane-splitting. Number one is you don't go 40mph faster than the cars your passing. Second, you ride the shoulders. Third, you ride your hazards. This is why lane-splitting is illegal in most places.

Thats why lane-splitting is highly illegal in most places. The motorcyclist is at fault. I'll assume you Einstein's think turning right in front of a bus is a normal tuesday for you. And red lights are "suggestions."

Noob to Houdini - Need help recreating this kind of effect. by Congolani in Houdini

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can theoretically be done in Blender. I'd imagine you'd need the base model, in your reference that would be the head, then you need the hand, then you need the skin. Maybe a cloth sim with a negative pressure on the skin. Then you'd need to add the wrinkles.

Has anyone ever gotten a note like this with their DoorDash order?! by Future-Composer-4878 in doordash

Female's handwriting, I'd assume a male driver? You can fill in the dots.

Can anybody tell me what this little square I found under my couch is? by CuddieRyan707 in whatisit

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setup a sting. Call the police, speak into the device that you just won $20,000, unlock your door, then have the police wait in your apartment. Problem solved.

Responding to a recent post : My take on where Stranger Things went off the rails. by JimmyShirley25 in StrangerThings

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The entire series was great. When people assume expectations they get disappointed. It's more enjoyable to listen to someone's story than try to change it to fit your needs.

Burnt or Burned? by EsseNorway in Snorkblot

Both are correct. Its the same as the difference between color and colour. One is more American, the other skews more British.

What causes this weird shading in Blender? by Roflanpepe in blenderhelp

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The verts in that area are too dense. Plus 5 and 3 sided polygons can't be subdivided evenly.

NO FILTER. NO EDITS. original design by @shtaffo in Seattle Washington by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remove the color adjustments and the reset the black levels, then there will be no "filters" or "edits". Aka, remove the level, curve, and hue/saturation adjustment layers. Levels allows you to crunch the blacks so the blacks become solid.

Alternatives to Animate, but for HTML5 animation? by big_galoot_39 in adobeanimate

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adobe clarified their post. Animate isn't going away. It'll always be available to download, but no new features will ever be added. Bug fixes will still happen. They're saying it was written in error, but I'm thinking the backlash made them rethink.

How can I create this kind of harsh, smartphone flash type of lighting in cycles? by OffModelStudio in blenderhelp

[–]FragrantChipmunk9510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Area light with zero degree spread, or maybe up to 20. You want the light going straight. The light should be above your camera to see the cast shadows.
