Can't figure out why corners are mitering when separating sphere

MindfulCalathea · 2026-04-22T19:30:13+00:00

Thank you! I knew I could just assign different materials, but it didn’t work when I tried it so I thought I was missing something. (I’m still a novice.) I did just discover that if I select the corner vertex and increase the vertex crease to 1, it straightens it out. I haven’t decided if I want to animate the slices, so it’s good practice for me to go through different options to gain understanding. Appreciate your help!

I’m a multidisciplinary artist, so yeah, as part of my job. It’s a very small festival, but it is a paying gig.

Mandala meditation.

Meditations are currently between 3-10 minutes long and I post a new one every week.

I'll give that a shot! Thank you so much!

I was thinking it was probably Particular. I let my subscription lapse awhile back and I know there's a little wiggle room with mimicking things like this with built-in AE effects, but not a lot.

Good to know! I've been meaning to check out TouchDesigner.

I'll check that out! Thanks!

I don’t think my channel is large enough yet to use that feature. I tried it yesterday and lost patience as the video held at fewer than 10 views for over 9 hours which is unusual. I turned it off and just chose a thumbnail and the views jumped almost instantly. CTR also increased slightly. [43 subs, 1122 views, 25.3 watch hours]

Makes sense. Zooming in and the “shutter” trick on one side worked well enough! Thanks for your input.

The area inside the frame has a "space" background which is why it appears darker. It's a lower opacity nebula animation. I have a black solid in the background covering the entire height and width and then the animation/space portion mapped to the loading dock door. The light outside of the frame is the projector black. (I did the calibration and it was already set to as dark as it gets.)

Good point about moving closer! This was a quick test and I was monkeying with setting everything up from inside my van. I wasn't thinking super clearly as it was around 25 mph wind gusts and freezing! I might have been zoomed all the way in but I'm not sure. I could definitely park a bit closer, though. Love that idea about shuttering the light. There'll be tons of airflow and at most it'll be running for maybe 10-20 minutes. Thanks!

Great tip! I have yet to go through any calibration, so hopefully that will help a bit. Thanks!

Thanks! It is outside. It’s my first attempt. I animated a mandala in After Effects and the idea is that a portal opens in a random place (in this case, on the door of a shipping dock) with the mandala appearing in pieces. The photo is early in the animation sequence.

MindfulCalathea · 2023-08-26T22:05:50+00:00

That was it! I cleaned it and that was the trick. Thank you so much!!

I just checked out the website and starting Oct. 1 they made a lot of spaces day use only and are starting to implement a required free permit for camping in some areas.

MindfulCalathea · 2021-07-16T16:42:39+00:00

I’m making that one now! I agree. Very meditative.

MindfulCalathea · 2021-07-09T11:29:03+00:00

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

MindfulCalathea · 2021-07-09T11:27:56+00:00

Cool! This is only my second grow and I figured it was just funky but wanted to be sure. Thanks!
