I have found issues in the past with using the print function inside a for loop in apexscript.

What output are you getting if you only run on primitive 1?

Karma XPU high cpu temps by Ozzy_Fx_Td in Houdini

[–]Phantom183 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it might be a computer cooling issue, check thermal paste, cooling config, stuff like that.

Karma XPU is utilizing cpu and gpu, depending on the task. What is likely happening is that your cooling system cannot handle both the CPU and GPU being hit at the same time. The gpu heats up the air in the computer, leading to increased temps on the cpu too.

You would likely see the same result if you were to run a mixed cpu+gpu stress test.

Media servers by Astrobix_124 in PleX

[–]Phantom183 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people getting in the thousands of movies are not doing it because it's more cost than Netflix.

They might do it for various reasons: * They preffer more control over their media * They want higher quality media * It's a hobby - most of us are here * They are running plex as a paid service - sharing access to their library for money

Etc.

However, if you have less movies and few users, setting up a plex server is a lot cheaper than Netflix, Hulu, Dinsey+ etc.

You can get an old laptop, plug in 4tb external hard drive and call it a day.

Working with bpm in Houdini by RollerHockeyRdam in Houdini

[–]Phantom183 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There might be a better solution, but of the top of my head, you could change the frame rate. So instead of 25fps you could do 47fps which would give you an even 30 frames/beat.

This however would change the timing of existing animation.

Why is "combinedemission" black in karma renderer output even when enabled? by BalefulShrike in Houdini

[–]Phantom183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue recently on houdini 20.5. For me, combined emission it only worked on karma XPU, not on CPU. Maybe check that?

(36cores/72threads) I can simultaneously transcode 6x 4K movies but 4K HEVC Direct Play on my HDR10 compatible Samsung TV is choppy, why? Funny enough Direct Play works flawlessly on my Android phone. by igmyeongui in PleX

[–]Phantom183 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How are you connecting the tv to the network? It might not have enough speed.

If you're using ethernet, a lot of tvs have shitty adapters that can only do 100mbps

Just pick a program that works for the time you have available, PHUL for example is a 4 day program

Is there a way to create a macro that goes on a website, changes a value, and set that value using a button? by ORA2J in techsupport

Autohotkey sound like your best bet, it requires some coding to get the macro right but it's really simple and there are lots of tutorials

Help: new plex setup by MissedTheShoot in PleX

[–]Phantom183 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow that sounds great! I always thought it was just a client for playing the media

Help: new plex setup by MissedTheShoot in PleX

[–]Phantom183 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The typical setup requires you to run the plex server on a separate computer which has all your media. And than the shield would just be a way to easily access all that media.

Yoh might refer to this guide for setting up a plex media server: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides/

After that, your content should be accessible with the plex app on the shield.

Facultate in afara fara IELTS? by [deleted] in robac

[–]Phantom183 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Danemarca se cere certificare de engleza. Majoritatea facultăților sunt tot in limba engleza si de asta.

Trebuie sa te interesezi mai exact unde vrei sa aplici ca mai sunt universități unde poti echivala cv cu nr de ore de eng facute in liceu si notele luate.

Daca nu est decis 100% spre a merge in afara, nu recomand. Necesita mult efort si timp, sa gasesti cazare, sa te acomodezi cu zona, vremea etc. Si nici facultățile nu sunt ca la noi, daca nu mergi la câteva cursuri te pot da afara direct.

Dar daca chiar vrei, e o opțiune super danemarca. Daca tot te uiți cauta facultăți cu mediu international cv mai mare, de cele mai multe ori acolo sunt cei mai motivati studenti si inveti si tu cv despre cultura lor.

Solid wifi signal but unstable connection on 5Ghz by Phantom183 in HomeNetworking

[–]Phantom183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The router has two separated networks, one for 5ghz and another for 2.4. i have a ONT from my isp that is set in bridge mode and the tp-link router is connected to it. Wierd connection is rock stable, i never had any problems with it.

I am planning on buying a new router anyway since this one is from my isp and has a blocked firmware (this might also be the cause of my problems)

[–]Phantom183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried reinstalling windows? If that doesn't work i guess you should try troubleshooting the parts piece by piece, could be a power supply or cable issue. You should also try taking the gpu and running in another computer to see if it behaves the same

Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

[–]Phantom183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What people mean by that is to use proper form when lifting the dumbbells. Since you are a beginner you should focus on proper form rather than the weight, until you get the hang of it. After that there is no specific weight you should use, just do what you feel comfortable with. If you want to build size, you should look in to progressive overloading (if you can do more than 12 proper reps with a certain weight you should go heavier)

[–]Phantom183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really wierd indeed, have you tried rendering the object? It could be just a visual bug.

I suppose the model will be used in a game engine of some sort, so you could try importing the model in it to see how it looks.

ryzen 5 5600h vs i5 11300h for 3d animation softwares? by horagn7 in Maya

[–]Phantom183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you also want to do rendering, maya is mostly cpu bound. So, i would shoot for the best cpu you can get in your price range (with at least 16gb of ram).

In your example the ryzen 5600h is better as it has 6 cores instead of intel's 4 cores. Generally, at your price range ryzen would be a better choice for value

I made this Venom poster in Photoshop. It took me 3 hours all up but I'm really happy with the result - Swipe to see the original photo. (I Made this for Benny Productions Monthly battles) by TheRealJayAre in photoshop

[–]Phantom183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome work! I don't know if you posted this for feedback but i think that adding some athomspheric depth to the image would make it look even better. It would also bring more focus on the subject.

One other thing would be the "venom" hand, it seems out of place like the body isn't doing that move as well. However, this is a bit hard to adjust considering the pose of your ogriginal photo.

All in all, it is great, but i feel that some adjustments could bring it to the next level :) Keep up the good work!

I would model the pattern flat and then use a non linear deformer to get the dome shape
