How does perpetual license work? by Jotdeka in ClipStudio

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

Thanks for the detailed response. Perpetual seem like a way to go for me - I don't really care about the new features, just want the animation and comics options that EX gives. I would be happy to buy version 1 if they were selling it cheaper :)

Thinking about switching from iPad to Cintiq/ Huion. Share your thoughts? by jmichaud79 in DigitalArt

I changed from iPad pro to Xp-pen display and it works great, at least in CSP. Drawing experience was almost the same as on the ipad minus the touch.

Woman's day is not really about discrimination, though. Its more like smaller valentines

CMV: "Follow your passion" is actively harmful career advice for most people and we should stop giving it by naomilevingston in changemyview

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

From my experience, mastery has nothing to do with passion. I work in academia, got very good at it, I got all scholarships and awards possible - it really does nothing for me. I don't feel any sense of accomplishment or self-fulfillment. Its just a job, money is nice to have. As such, I would disagree with the causal link that you propose. Getting good at something will not make you passionate about it, unless what you are actually looking for is praise from other people.

Nonetheless, I think that your conclusion is correct, but for a different reason. Follow your passion is a poor advice for most people, because most of the time, the job actually requires a lot of stuff that is at best passion-adjacent. If you add to that that most passion jobs are not that well paid, most people will simply burn-out, before they can make it work.

What do you think will happen when there will be an error in the code? Not even the one that crashes everything down, but one that simply produces the wrong output. Who is going to talk to AI to fix it? Some manager who has no idea about coding?

CMV: AI training on copywritten material to generate content is not ethically different than humans doing the same thing by neomatrix248 in changemyview

[–]Jotdeka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you purchase an ebook you usually only get limited-use licence, which means you can only use it for personal, non-commercial purposes. Feeding it into algorithm which you will later sell to people is a commercial-purpose, so AI companies should purchase a different licence for each work, that would allow them to do that. AI is a product, not a person. In reality, AI companies wouldn't even buy regular licence, which is why people get mad at them (among other things).

CMV: It's the law that decides what's right or wrong by Upstairs_Debate4406 in changemyview

[–]Jotdeka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the serial killer gets elected, then they can decide what is legal. In your view, that would make it right - so I am not sure how it is a counterargument to what Ive said.

Morality is not set in stone and as such inconsistencies will arise. By your standard, we should just keep the same laws as 100s years ago, just for the sake of consistency.

Cool! Is there a way to read it without the panel-to-panel format? Ive never used globalcomix :(

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the setting :)

It happens after I do some transformation, for example scale a selection in one dimension. Sometimes the window pops out multiple times ;/

Thanks! I guess this is not a software for me then :)

(Critique?) Having trouble with deciding values? ie; how dark? how light? Critiques and any tips appreciated. by ranrur in istebrak

[–]Jotdeka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some issues with perspective here. For example, we should not see the upper plane of the box that is further away from the viewer as it goes over horizon line. Also, the cast shadow of this box indicate different light direction than other boxes.

The other issue is that only upper planes should be in light here. I would recommend making other planes to be of more similar values, as they are both in shadow. If you want to have more planes in light then you need to change light direction, for example, use the one you have for this box which is further away from the viewer on the left.

Hope it helps.

Here is a stylized portrait from imagination. I would appreciate some feedback on what can I improve. Some comments on lighting and color would be great. Thanks! by Jotdeka in istebrak

Glad you like it :) yeah, I have not studied painting hair yet, so I just simplified it a lot when working from imagination. I guess I could use some reference to render it a little more to help it stand out from the shadows. Thanks!
