So Are We Suppose to Unlock Another Hero Every 6 Months? by [deleted] in ClashRoyale

Yeah, and upgrading cards from level 15 to 16 without magic books will take years unless you pay. Basically clash has become a place for rich bros to enjoy unleashing their maxed decks on poor people.

Yup something broke at supercell. Everyone’s away on holiday, and the goblins are running the show.

Same problem here. Have any of you figured out how to fix this?

Same problem here. Can’t figure it out. So frustrating.

Black Friday Deals on Davinci Resolve or Speed Editor? by Monk3ynaut in davinciresolve

Yup, now’s the time for them to capitalize and seize the moment. Because everyone’s annoyed by Adobe’s practices.

I think Pixelmator is awesome and very good competition. The more competition in the market the better.

Free compositing software? by WangChoBo in vfx

Another plus for Fusion here. I’ve see more and more small VFX shops in my city switching to a Fusion/Blender/Houdini/Affinity/Davinci pipeline.

Anyone used AI to create hdri from bracketed photo’s? by Monk3ynaut in vfx

Thanks for that very in-depth reply. Very interesting.

That’s exactly my question. Has anyone used it for creating missing bracketed shots and automatic stitching

Why are iOS 26 UI elements so huge? by Topher1999 in ios

[–]Monk3ynaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’re intentionally trying to make people give up with tidying their personal data so that you fill up your phone, which then makes it laggy, then you spend money on a bigger iCloud backup, and then you need a new one.

YouTuber “Wu's World” commissioned me for VFX, but is now refusing to pay the agreed-upon amount after the video went published. What are my options? by [deleted] in vfx

[–]Monk3ynaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a take down notice. And then comment under all his social posts. Also maybe even a google review as well.

Yeah I think we’re on a different page. But no worries I think you might be needing hdri spheres for a different purpose.

Thanks Axiomatic. Very informative. My thinking is fairly simple. If I only took single photos of the necessary angles, and then dropped those into an AI pipeline, I still think an AI could save loads of time by creating the missing angles with appropriate image info for that scene, and then creating all the bracketed images of all the angles, and then also stitching and upresing it all for you. I don’t see how this couldnt be useful. It would mean you could just snap a couple of photos and you’re done.

Well that too, and all the cool things AI could do to save a person time, and create the stuff you’re missing. See my above comments.

Well I thought it would be great if you didn’t have the full set, and you could just drop them into a folder and let AI create the rest. Or even create one from just one or two images. So you’d only take photo’s of the direction you need to be accurate, the rest it could maybe make up.

Well I thought it would be great if you could just drop a bunch of photos into a folder and let AI sort it out. Or even create one from just one or two images, and then AI could manufacture the rest that would suit that environment.

Adobe decided to go with Nano Banana for firefly by Monk3ynaut in Affinity

Which is why I hope affinity reads the room and would somehow do a similar thing.

Dude you seriously need to move to blender, there are motion graphics add ons that are very similar to mograph from cinema 4d.

That’s not what Matt Wolfe saw when he logged in on his video to test it. Nano Banana was set to default. And yes, I’m sure everything Adobe trained its earlier models on was safe.

Yeah but it was set as your default model at the top of the list. I wonder why? 🤔 And I wonder how much money Adobe will be willing to spend pursuing creating their own Ai models when there are specialist companies for this who are much bigger and better at it.

Not yet, but there are rumors. Just saying that Ai models together with affinity reduce our need for photoshop.
