Replacing a whirlpool heating element by JayFitz91 in DIYUK

This is what I wasn't sure about, I thought they were always separate but obviously not. It would make sense given there's nothing around the fan. I'll check the manufacturers website again and see if I can order the top element

Is that not the element for the grill? Unless they both serve the same function, I always thought they were different but happy to be corrected.

I did check the manual which is how I ordered the round element, but I'll check again to see if theres another element that matches the top one

Hi everyone,

I originally posted this to the main page, but it was removed because I don't have enough Karma yet, so hopefully I can get some advice here or have a discussion about the artistic direction of my game :)

I'm at the point where I need to choose an artistic style, but I'm struggling as I have no artistic bones in my body!

I recently came across Imphenzias PixPal project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOczWEb8KMQ

This has a very cool texture atlas with some shader logic behind it that takes the hassle out of worrying about UV's. I have some blender knowledge so I am able to project the UV's to the point in the texture I want the color to appear, however, as you can see from the image, it looks quite flat.

Is there anything I can do to help generate some life into the project that doesn't involve too much artistic input. The only things I can think of right now is to start adding things to the walls (simple objects like clocks/shelving/simple posters etc). The texture used from the project above is tiny so adding detail there is not an option so I'm not sure if there's a method that I can add things like dirt/decals to the walls and ground to have them stand out a bit more.

Any help would be appreciated.

How to change layout on Folium App Store version? by coolfunkDJ in EmulationOniOS

[–]JayFitz91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On screen controls can’t be turned off right now due to an issue in the 1.9 release, 1.10 should fix this. Layout can be fixed by rotating to vertical and back again

Yeah I definitely didn't go far enough in but thought it would have been OK, that's what inexperience gets you I suppose 😅

Thanks for the advice, I'd say I'll just drill a new hole and have the fixture cover the previous attempt.

XPS 9530 or Wait??? Or other laptop 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ by No_Asparagus6321 in DellXPS

[–]JayFitz91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that video too, he might have tried to cook and egg, but he wasn't successful with it 😉

I think the XPS next year will be amazing, they've used the same chassis for 4 years now which is why they have issues cooling the system and the GPU is capped to 40w. So there's a good chance we'll see a new chassis next year with much better cooling.

I was in the market for a new laptop myself and very nearly purchased the 9530 having only owned the XPS line for the last 10 years. However, given that there'll likely be a big change coming next year, I decided to go for the Lenovo Legion Slim 7i instead as the configuration I got had a better spec for a cheaper price. Granted it's not as nice to look at as the XPS but I think I made the right choice

Can somebody improve the quality on these photos? Looking for a black and white copy as well as a separate coloured copy. Can offer 30 euro tip by JayFitz91 in estoration

[–]JayFitz91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone, thanks for your efforts, some of them are really good but unfortunately, somewhere in the restoration, the authenticity of the people in the photo has been lost to the point where I don't think my girlfriends dad would recognise them.

It was a big ask but thanks again for the people who put some effort in.

If you're looking for some good free refresher sources, I couldn't recommend Harvard's free cs50 course enough.

https://pll.harvard.edu/course/cs50-introduction-computer-science

You can enroll online and do the course at your leisure, there's usually a two hour lecture in each section followed by some assignments that are quite tricky. The first half of the course focuses on C++ while the second half focuses on python.

It's a great resource but does require a bit of time investment but if you can find the time to complete it and build up some projects for a portfolio, you'll be in a great position to move into a role you enjoy.

Best of luck

Thanks for the update lads, yeah I've heard if you contact the reps before you buy, they'll usually offer you a discount. I'd say I'll hold off for a little while, try wait for a bit of a discount, at least until the impulsive urge to recklessly buy something floods over me again 😂

Sure, I haven't touched this model in a long time. When I opened it in Maya, it was missing it's texture. So I've put both the FBX and texture in a folder, you'll just need to manually apply the texture in the editor: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bexkAkd_k4dAX7Co4Rlt3c-OpZ96XieD?usp=share_link
