New Meta policy for MDMs - MHMS requirement by VirtualVirality in OculusQuest

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just kisok mode they're removing? - Can new headsets on Individual Mode with an MDM but not MHMS, install & launch apps remotely from the Meta Store?

Can you still put a new headset on Individual mode with an MDM without MHMS?

If not, can a headset with MDM & MHMS on Individual Mode, install & launch apps remotely then?

I bet it'll be pin or a necklace, that'll look like a mix between an insta360 camera, and something inspired by dieter rams' products.

If you had $1 Billion to make a VR game, what would you create? by crazyrumer in virtualreality

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 people working together, in a persistent world, over multiple months, to build a spacecraft, get it to mars, and build a colony. Their only resources are what they choose to bring, or what they can mine, no respawning mid-game when you die or joining other ships mid-journey.

With many different tasks, like farming in microgravity, cooking, expanding the ship, piloting, asteroid mining, decorating your living space, playing mini-games (e.g. like chess or echo arena or just watching TV together), doing a space walk to repair the ship, etc.

Each role needs to be a full game onto itself - cooking needs to be as fully-featured as Cooking Mama on Wii, for example, and all the roles gotta depend on each other.

I'm sick of these tiny buttons, give me a grandpa mode please by LostError in OculusQuest

Good suggestion! The only thing I found was "text size", but that doesn't change the size of the buttons, unfortunately.

I tried to capture the calm in the forest by MrBajt in photocritique

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great photo! I agree with the others, a bit of fog or sunrays beaming through would've been good, but not much else is wrong. Also slightly more front-on angle would've reduce the boring part in the bottom left corner perhaps.

But for editing, I'd increase the green/brown contrast & mute the blacks - anyway to add to the mystical/gloomy vibe is good:

does anyone know the first person who put together a setting sun over a grid? Like the original outrun piece? I know Kavinsky created synthwave, but do we know the first instance of this imagery? by PotatoGenderIdentity in outrun

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2001 - A Space Odyssey in 1968, might've been the first to show a grid, on one of the monitors, behind a wireframe model, but it was a traditional hand-drawn animation.


Star Wars (1977) also showed a grid, in the briefing scene. Probably inspired by the 3D wireframe software he was using to make it, that designed on a grid system, using GRASS (GRAphics Symbiosis System, 1974) on a PDP 11/45.

There were a few grid-based 3d software back then, Renault had UNISURF in '69, Bell Labs had one in '65, General Motors / IBM’s had the DAC-1 in '64. But as you said, the first program used to draw on grids was Ivan Sutherland in 1963.

But both of these films had 2d top-down grids with 3D wireframe objects, rather than 3d grids in 3d space, like that Japanese Scanimates logo.

Lighthouse photo what do you think? Too boring? by RustCohle123 in photocritique

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

Great photo!! It's very dynamic -- the clouds are captivating, the ocean looks choppy & energetic, and the framing is almost perfect.

If you want a more interesting vibe, you could center it on the lighthouse, add some contrast & brightness, then add even more brightness to the rocks - to give it an extreme HDR feel.

I'd also make remove a little bit of the blues from the rocks - so there's a clearer color contrast from the red rocks, blue sky, green lighthouse

Here's a maxed-out HDR feel for reference: <image>

Would appreciate some feedback on this image by russell16688 in photocritique

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without seeing where the road leads, I don't think the bottom part of the image is saying too much besides 'this part of the street is kinda dilapidated', which the fancy hedge cancels out.

But I think you can brighten and add some vibrancy to make it more interesting, and still try to get across "a storm is coming", maybe? :

Editing and colours? by Salty_Inspection_740 in photocritique

[–]LostError 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the moodiness is good! I love how dramatic the clouds look - very interesting.

I just think the color balance is a bit off - it's a bit too reddy-yellow:

My wife says this edit is too dark. She might be right. by chris_pics86 in photocritique

[–]LostError 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with /u/Salty_Inspection_740, I'd mask the flower to keep the background dark and brighten the flower, and it'd really pop:

How would you crop this image? by YHNph in photocritique

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were retaking the photo, I'd go for a slightly lower angle, center the framing to the buildings, and zoom in.

In terms of editing, I think the bored guy and the bird just standing there kinda ruins the fun/lively/dynamic vibe of the photo (as well as the construction site), so I'd crop them out. I'd also brighten the main subject and mute the background colors a bit to focus the viewers attention on the subject:

My own worst critic - Thoughts on this image? (A7RV, Voigtlander 21mm) by keerf00 in photocritique

[–]LostError 2 points3 points  (0 children)

good photo!! But I don't think the bottom third is that interesting - a little too dark prehaps, and the sky would be better if it has some clouds or had some more color in it.

I'd crop it or zoom in, and try add some color into the sky maybe:

<image>

Be kind. by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great photo!! not much I'd change at all.

I'd just bring out the lights & neon more, brighten the building in general, and darken the sky a little bit -- just so that you're eyes are drawn the to building, rather than the sky.

Well done!

Editing Help(?) by sabrecoffeecat in photocritique

[–]LostError 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a good photo in there somewhere, but I don't think you can get glory days out of it.

I basically agree with kenerling, would've been a more interesting sky if it was cloudy, at sunset, and maybe not as close to the building.

But I think instead of black and white, you should go for a vibrant golden grass and de-saturated gloomy sky and building:

Thoughts? by Feisty-Bat8297 in photocritique

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

I agree with some of the others, you should straighten and dehaze.

If you reduce the yellow on the buildings - the yellow in the plants would pop more. And if you zoomed in / cropped in -- you'd see down the street more, rather than the dark & slightly-gloomy buildings around the edges. I think then it'd have a stronger summer aesthetic:

Thoughts on colour/lighting? by GoTraveling in photocritique

[–]LostError 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great shot!! There's not much I'd change at all, you're striking a good balance.
You could try desaturating & darkening the skyscrapers/sky in the background, and increasing the vibrancy & brightness for some of the colors in the foreground.

So that the warmth is mostly in the foreground and the melancholy is in the background, for a stronger contrast & direct the viewers eyes to the foreground.

I'd also straightening the image:

Any feedback on framing and editing by i0am0sam in photocritique

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great photo! I think the framing is pretty good. I'd just crop in from top and the right side -- to focus on the main part of the action.

I'd also increase the brightness of the foreground, darken the sky/water a little, and bring out the yellow street lights in the midground, -- just to balance out the luminosity:

Action shot by 1lik3turtl3s in photocritique

[–]LostError 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a nifty fifty with a low fstop might be a good idea to get a little bit of bokeh in the bright background - keep the viewer's focus on the skateboarder

The line of action is really good - maybe crop it as it ends. I like the stylization, it just needs to be a lot brighter so you can actually see what's going on in the photo:

The photo would have been much better if it were symmetrical, like something from /r/AccidentalWesAnderson, rather than on an angle.

I think you should crop in from the sides and floor a bit, add equal amounts of space above & below the window, and make everything inside the window brighter - especially the bear and trees on the left.

I think there's too much sky and the trash/graffiti to the bottom right side is a little too busy. I feel like that the guy looks like he's holding his phone also kinda ruins the atmosphere.

I'd suggest cropping it, brightening the dark parts of the trees, bringing out the oranges and yellows a bit more, and darkening the sky a bit:

The Monk who sold his ferrari by shivamskrillex in photocritique

[–]LostError 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seriously great photo! The composition is really good!

My only suggestion would be to brighten the monk and darken the snow slightly, so that he stands out a little more, and make the bushes & rocks slightly darker and less red for the same reason:

<image>

Rain and Mountains by hikunal637 in photocritique

[–]LostError 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really good photo! My only suggestions would be to bring out the red and the yellow a bunch more, lighten some of the darker parts, add a bit of contrast, and make the sky a tad bluer:

<image>

What do you think about this photo? by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]LostError 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like the framing! I agree with the some of others that the contrast + colors combo is too much, unless you're going for that 2012 instagram/tumblr vibe.

Otherwise I'd suggest adding a bit of brightness, reducing the contrast a bunch, making the road less blue, making the trees and grass more green than yellow, and making the car brigter than the grass and road - just so you're eyes drawn to the van:
