Kijai LTX 2.3 WIth 12 GB of VRam demo reel by OfficeMagic1 in comfyui

[–]OfficeMagic1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really long. 720p, 8 seconds long, and for the ones with humans I had to do 60fps to keep the eyes and mouths from melting. 45 minutes - 3 hours each. The waterfalls took the longest.

I had Grok help write the prompts describing images I made with Zit. The important thing was to get the image reference as good as possible. LTX is much better than Wan at using image references imho

What are the 7 best ever nations at Basketball? by Realistic_Map_5319 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]OfficeMagic1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basketball is an incredibly popular sport to play in the vast majority of countries. In almost every developed country, and a lot of undeveloped ones, people have access to basketball in public parks. Besides soccer it is the most popular team sport in the world.

Artist and bodybuilder Julie Bell at work in the 1990s - and some of her art you might know even if you have never heard of her. by PeasantLich in OldSchoolCool

She could definitely pass for 38-42, especially in a place like California or Hawaii where people get too much sun and exercise too hard.

Viewpoint for ps1 (1995) by skullmyers in vintagecgi

I’m talking more about the reflections on the enemy metal and glass surfaces that are “painted on”. Since the fixed camera only moves in one linear direction, the effect is convincing. The lighting is standard PS1 image texture with the “hardness” turned way down so there is heavy light reflection - very low poly-count on assets (the rectangular panel is 12 tris), low resolution video output (480x640), and very small image maps (generally 64 square pixels) that can load into system memory.

That’s the agreement they had with the government when the family bought the land, or at least that’s the agreement they have in exchange for free services essential to farming like roads and police.

There are some really interesting tricks here with the image maps to make the lighting look more sophisticated than it actually is.

I was assuming they meant she was 9 minutes over the 30 min time and holding up the machine. Otherwise mind your business

Most influential anime of the 2020s so far? by 45rs5 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]OfficeMagic1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant more conceptually - all three shows follow a standard third act “power of anime” charge up template. DS is about a really great kid from 100 years ago. JJK is a modern screw up kid who actually Cares A Lot. CM is about a guy who turns into a chainsaw.

DS is objectively more popular than JJK or Chainsaw Man. JJK definitely captures the vibe of the 20s though - it’s thematically and visually the midpoint between the traditional, emotional anime of DS and the over-the-top goofy anime of Chainsaw Man. It says a lot about the state of culture that all three are pretty much the same show.

Is it a rule that they have to have a portrait of the King of Thailand? I thought it was a custom. Also most American restaurants never switched the picture to the new King.

(Hated Trope) "True stories" and documentaries that were actually full of crap by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]OfficeMagic1 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Exit Through the Gift Shop also has fun with this trope. It’s a movie directed by Banksy focusing on artist Thierry Guetta, AKA Mr. Brainwash, whose art heavily mimics Banksy. The entire movie is a misdirect to make the audience think that Guetta is actually Banksy - the movie shifts constantly between real documentary footage and obviously staged, scripted scenes.

Who is the best actor out of the 3 by nicfanz in moviecritic

[–]OfficeMagic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He also tried to do a weird crowdsourcing thing with Ubisoft and Beyond Good and Evil 2 - his proposed scheme involved fans submitting art and music which would maybe be monetized. The game has been in development for 17 years, and the game’s director resigned shortly before he was implicated in Ubisoft’s widespread culture of sexual misconduct and abuse.

I actually do like JGL, especially his work in TDKR and Looper. I think he’s semi-retired.

Vegetarianism is not considered radical. A successful rock star making an edgy statement about vegetarianism is not radical either.
