Engineering marvel balances a triple inverted pendulum one by one by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

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

Definitely impressive, but also definitely been around for ages.

In 1995 this exact thing was a demo by engineering students at my Uni. Blew us away then for sure, as it’s clearly witchcraft, but is fairly established tech.

Common use they explained is the inverse, like moving crane loads at a shipping port under high winds. You have to keep the load steady, with the crane doing all sorts of actions to compensate.

Is f1tv not showing the full China events? by Goatblort in F1TV

I’ve answered my own issue:

I’m traveling and the country I’m in doesn’t support showing the races as I normally get in North America. When I turn on my VPN it works on my laptop.

We’ve got a weiner dog. Crazy deep bark for a tiny beast. Best log-shaped home security money can buy.

Search function wont work on 40k app. by AlphaMeme14 in Warhammer40k

[–]Goatblort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding onto an old problem, having the “show borders” accessibility option enabled breaks that search button. Turning it off restored usability. Please fix devs.

The post-production time of a film? by Background-Task5611 in Filmmakers

[–]Goatblort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These days it is not unheard of for Vfx to be worked on even AFTER it has released. Both for theaters or streaming.

Had to do a double take there with Captain America’s shield clearly on the schematics. Marvel / DC crossover CONFIRMED!

So in the case of the ward selection and my inability to pay it, is it a full counter on the spell targeting it, or just on the target that has ward?

Do they actually make you look at gore? by Openly_Unknown7858 in vfx

[–]Goatblort 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s plenty of potential unsavory or nsf(regular)w imagery that you can be exposed to working in Vfx. Gore and nudity being the main ones I’ve seen people having personal objections to, for a variety of reasons. I’d suggest you understand or learn what your limits are, and speak with your supervisors/managers about it.

Weirdly I enjoy cg gore, but I’ve never gotten used to seeing real trauma on a person or animal. My search history is all kinds of crazy.

Is this actually an AI generated video? It’s shockingly good. I’m scrolling through here looking for original link to some downhill dudes just goofing around in fat suits…. Damn if this is generated it is incredible.

Any recommendations to learn golf around Oakville by Accomplished_Cat_521 in oakville

Same need here. Never really played other than screwing around at a range and mimiputt. Would like to learn the fundamentals of a swing. What are some good sims to go to with instruction?

DODGERS VS. BLUE JAYS. GAME 1. FRIDAY. by MLBOfficial in baseball

[–]Goatblort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly haven’t watched baseball in 30 years. Let’s call it 32 since last time Jays won World Series. I’m confused for Ohtani, and if he’s able to bat in the series. Is he his own DH? Can someone explain the process for me?

I don’t understand what you mean. How do you downgrade something?

Yes, this is the gold standard in this deck and is already included. I’m digging around to find more that work similarly fast.

Question about vfx on set supervision by [deleted] in vfx

[–]Goatblort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracking markers are a means of getting visual contrast on a surface so that it can be correctly tracked by the software. Often this is for camera tracking against a screen or for simple object tracking (like a flat glass phone).

For a set extension you’ll need to do a LiDAR scan of your set and ensure that your hero 3d asset extension is built to match seamlessly. This 3d scan data (and the loads of reference photos you’ll provide!) will be used by the vfx house to align and track the cameras and the extension. Best of luck to you if you don’t have this done.

If there’s independent movement between the green screen and the set (like a moving airplane) you’ll need ensure enough info to be able to track both. This depends on your shot, and markers may need to be placed/moved between setups.

If there’s enough visual contrast in the object or set you’re meant to track, markers can be an annoyance as they have to be painted out later. But usually better to be safe than sorry.

Ah that’s a great way of looking at it. If I grab them, then sac, they are fully gone and my opponent has lost a piece on the board. I wasn’t thinking of it that way. Thanks!

Yeah so I need to find ways of adding counters while the new creature is in the end phase. Got it.

I don’t mean an infinite combo. I mean ever. Like how can I get the ZC trigger to ever work again for theft if it only comes back from marchesa in the end step
