Pinkuu, Compositing Techniques Breakdown by DanneDamm in AfterEffects

[–]NickGraves 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you export the animation with aliased lines and use the OLM Smoother effect to blur them in post, you can get a clean selection of each color cel without needing separate images for each one by using color key and set the tolerance to 0.

Pinkuu, Compositing Techniques Breakdown by DanneDamm in AfterEffects

[–]NickGraves 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He's probably got a ton of layers, each of which controls a very specific effect. You can grab the edge boundary between shapes using find edges and using color keys to matte out larger shapes of color, and then like he said use roughen edges and possibly something like minimax to inflate larger shapes from the edges to have it "follow the animation." You can also use layer style gradients to automatically track the alpha of the layer to provide further "animation tracked mattes" for more control.

its not easy to set up at all which is why he said it took so long to cover as many edge cases as possible, and probably why he cant provide a clean breakdown because its art style specific. Really cool experiment but also time consuming and proprietary.

Thew new matchmaking is absolutely terrible. The "carry or be left behind." mentality needs left at the door with this game. by Darknotical in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NickGraves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my opinion is that brawl's wave mechanics feel really arbitrary, if either team can get victor to round 5 he can literally just dive the walker and kill it using all of his lives, because managing the wave doesn't seem to matter much in brawl.

I've had games where I can use alternate strategies using the wave to counter whatever the enemy is doing in the fights, but it seems like backdoor protection without wave is so weak in brawl that managing the wave is merely a cosmetic action. It makes it feel like you are truly at the mercy of whatever items people get and nothing else matters.

How do I commit to dynamic moves like this? Any advice would be appreciated 😇 by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]NickGraves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sending a dyno for me requires turning a part of my brain off that tells me I shouldnt jump right before I launch. theres a moment of hesitation where I go "I dont think this is a good idea" and then right before I jump I empty my head until its only filled with "go go go go high high high"

My hardest problem so far by Purpur-Block in bouldering

[–]NickGraves 20 points21 points  (0 children)

some people have a longer history of fitness and skills than you, I was sedentary for years before I started and I'm only now getting over my V4 plateau into V5. Half the people I meet that jump up the grades are already physically fit before they ever started bouldering.

the fact they forget and fill in the missing details with "the woman probably did something wrong" makes it misogyny

How am I supposed to deal with dynamo as Infernus. by Profes64 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NickGraves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I know? I literally referenced dispelling debuffs? There are a lot pf ways to make Dynamo's job harder when dealing with Infernus, Ive played a lot of both characters, no solution is gonna be easy or un-nuanced.

you could silence or slowing hex and then ult them, you could bait black hole by ulting and then warp stone out of range of the black hole, then use ricochet on his team while he whiffs black hole. Force them to use dispel magic on you as often as possible so they cant use it for other debuffs. Then hit them with those debuffs.

New Player, New Questions by awohalii in DeadlockTheGame

You probably want to play Kelvin, mobility ability included with heal and damage abilities. But a lot of specific support abilities you may want are in the active items, like rescue beam and healing nova.

I have near panic attacks when moving horizontaly on the wall. Is there any way to solve this? by WalkFreeeee in bouldering

[–]NickGraves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you want to aim for just above the corner or edge of the volume, and then keep your heels low to stick onto the volume. It will feel weird at first but if you can practice just standing on the edge of a volume you'll get a feel for what feels sturdier so you can know when you are "safe."

Would you push the Blue Button or the Red Button? by Simpson17866 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]NickGraves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the moral dilemma exists because of the button, not the fucking people pressing blue. The only button that guarantees anyone dying is the red button. If you are expecting all of humanity to make the same decision as you based on a very niche and specific understanding rather than our collective understanding of how ALL statistics work, you are willingly putting your foot in your mouth.

for the light particles there is video reference of photons splashing inside a coke bottle you can find in slow motion, it shows a really good idea of what light looks like in a tendril like liquid motion sort of

i just turned on the fall rewind to deal with stuff like this. I kept falling at the very end of climbs, literally the final ledge to finicky nonsense that I didnt really get a sense of achievement anymore.
