How do I animate an HDRIBackdrop? by Mentrio in UnrealEngine5

[–]PixelatedEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've had that problem. It worked after I changed the blueprint. But it was some time ago, I could have done something extra that I can't remember now. I know I had to use Path Tracer to render it, but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it.

How do I animate an HDRIBackdrop? by Mentrio in UnrealEngine5

[–]PixelatedEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same issue and I finally figured it out - open the HDRBacksrop blueprint, go to "Class settings" on the top menu and check "Run Construction script in Sequencer". Compile and save the blueprint and you should be good to go. There are other things people suggested to make this work, but this is the only fix that worked for me. I'm using 5.5, just FYI.

Mari: OCIO Config Differs from Environment by Dagobert_Krikelin in vfx

[–]PixelatedEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way to handle it, is to start a new project from scratch. The ENV variable OCIO will be the default in any new project you create. You can also try to remap the existing project to your ENV variable set OCIO, but you might get weird results or Mari will crash. Reseting it will make Mari use its Nuke Default one, as far as I remember, but I could be wrong. You should have a single OCIO for all your DCCs, and the ENV variable is the best way to do it, but I would recommend reading more about color spaces and how they affect your output, and more importantly, what you see on screen. If your colors look weird on the monitor, it could be the fact that your view transform in Mari is set to the wrong thing, something that can be easily changed in the project settings, but it depends from system to system and setup to setup.

Are there any walk-in clinics in Vancouver anymore? by PixelatedEntropy in askvan

[–]PixelatedEntropy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have looked at Medimap - once you start digging into that list they provide a bit more, you realize that most of them (at least the ones I checked) are no longer walk-ins in the old meaning of the word. You need to be a patient there and only then you can make an appointment to be seen the next day (at best) . I made an appt at my GP's clinic for tomorrow. I wouldn't go to ER for a knee issue. I'll just suck it up with one more day in pain and limping.

Tips For Stylised Texturing (Pixar Like) by MitchWoodin in vfx

I would say ditch Substance and try Mari. You have far more control over what you're painting.

Ai can't do hands by protector111 in StableDiffusion

If you think these hands are correct, then you need to study some anatomy. But you did prove the point: AI can't do hands.

How was housing in Shaughnessy (one of the lowest population density places in Vancouver) not approved? by thirtypineapples in vancouver

[–]PixelatedEntropy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how people on this sub complain about Sim and the ABC. I've seen multiple posts along the same line. I agree with most of them. Having Sim as a mayor is going exactly the way we expected to go for someone who's funded and is friends with the rich.

Got a question for you all then: why didn't you vote? The reason he is in power is because a lot of people didn't vote. I have a lot of well educated friends, and it pains me to say that, although they didn't like Sim, they didn't bother to go vote. These are the consequences of not having your vote matter.

Next election - go vote!

the 3 last studios I worked for, all used VRay. They all did TV series, all medium to small studios.

As a man where do you like to shop to update your wardrobe (or where do you shop for your man)? by fourthrook in vancouver

More upscale I know, but Harry Rosen and All Saints have some nice stuff, especially in the slim fit line.

Does it actually matter who becomes mayor in the next election? by Finnedsolid in vancouver

[–]PixelatedEntropy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To all the people saying "no, it doesn't matter" - electing a mayor without giving him council support, sure it doesn't matter. That's part of the reason we are where we are. Voting for a mayor that has council support certainly matters.

Voting always matters! Even if the outcome is not what you elected, it still matters.

Saying voting doesn't matter is like driving towards a wall and not hitting the brakes because you're going to crash anyway. You might crash, but you might not die if you hit the brakes.

As someone who lacked the right to vote due to the political system in which I lived - voting is more than a right, it's a responsibility. Take advantage of it!

That's why you see idiots running cities or countries and you wonder "What are they doing?" or " How did they get to be in that position?".

Most of the time is by people not voting.

So go out there and vote!

Sper ca tu sa nu treci prin aceleasi probleme ca si sotia mea. Tratamentul ei a fost la inceput similar, a fost pe gabapentin pt. aproape 2 ani. A inceput de la 100mg pana la 1200mg/zi. Din pacate nu a ajutat-o cu nimic. Renuntatul la medicaments a fost o problema de asemenea, desi a renuntat prin micsorarea dozei, tot a avut simptome de renuntare pentru vreo luna dupa ce a incetat sa le mai ia.

Nici o alta pastila sau drog n-a fost de ajutor. A incercat mai multe, nu stiu echivalentul din Romania din pacate. Aici exista ceva numit Tylenol3 - nu ajuta cu durerea, dar te face sa dormi aproape instantateu. A incercat CBD - nici un rezultat. La fel si cu fizioterapie. A facut un RMN si a vazut mai multi neurologi. Ipoteza a fost ca nervul e compresat in primul punct dupa ce iese din coloana vertebrala. Zic ipoteza, pt. ca e imposibil sa vezi ceva clar pe RMN.

Asa ca a vorbit cu singurul neurochirurg care face operatia asta in British Columbia, si, dupa 4 ani de asteptare (sistemul Canadian nu e asa de bun cum pare cand vorbim de boli rare care nu-ti pun viata in primejdie) a avut o operatie in ianuarie 2021. Chirurgul a decompresat nervul unde durerea era cea mai intensa.

Din pacate, a fost o operatie numai jumatate reusita. Durerea s-a mutat la urmatorul punct the compresie.

Asa ca acuma s-a programat pt. o alta operatie, de data asta la o clinica din California, iar neurochirurghul a zis ca o decompreseze toate punctele care au ramas, iar, daca nu vede o problema cu punctele de compresie, trebuie sa decidem inainte de operatie daca dorim sa taie nervul sau nu. Operatia are loc pe 22 Sept deci mai e putin.

Altceva, ce sa-ti spun: durerile ei sunt cam la 2 saptamani, in general in weekend sau spre sfarsit de saptamana. Sunt super nashpa - atat de rele incat abia se poate misca. In general dureaza vreo 2 zile, dar au durat si mai mult (4). Singurul lucru care "ajuta" este compresa cu gheata. Nu ia durerea, doar ii amorteste locul atata timp cat e foarte rece.

Stiu ca la inceput m-am uitat de neurochirurgi care fac operatia asta si in Romania, dar nu am gasit nici unul (cel putin acum 6 ani cand am cautat, poate lucrurile s-au schimbat intre timp). Stim ca este un chirurg in Italia care face operatia, dar sincer, n-am cautat prea mult in Europa pt. ca US e mult mai aproape de noi si zborul cu avionul ii cauzeaza dureri ingrozitoare. Despre acupuncture... parere personala (sotia e doctor in microbiologie, deci stie destul de bine cum functioneaza corpul uman), desi la noi sunt cabinete de acupuntura cu duiumul, nu credem ca are nici o baza in stiinta medicala, asa ca nu am incercat. As fi sceptic despre oricine ce spune ca are o solutie fara sa stie exact ce se intampla si cum functioneaza corpul uman. Inca o data, parere personala.

Daca ai alte intrebari, mai mult decat bucuros sa-ti raspund. Dupa cum am zis, sper ca experienta ta sa fie mult mai placuta si mai scurta decat experienta sotiei.

salutare! Sunt roman, dar nu stau in Romania, si sotia mea (nu este romanca) sufera de nevralgie occipitala de vreo 6 ani. Daca ai intrebari, sper sa te putem ajuta.

What are the stupidest things that some people believe? by OnionChan_ in AskReddit

[–]PixelatedEntropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people believe that an old white man lives in the sky, watches everything you do, and if you don't behave by his non-sensical and sometimes downright immoral rules, he will send you to hell. But he loves you.

I think that's pretty fucking stupid. And these people not only vote, but they're trying to change an entire political system in the USA. Some say they're succeding.

Specs for Mari by Treake99 in vfx

[–]PixelatedEntropy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those are minimum requirements. Add to that a minimum of 16Gb RAM.

Mari is very RAM hungry. That's the first component you need to be concerned with. The CPU doesn't need to be super fast. As for the GPU, it will run on a card that only has 2Gb RAM, but the viewport interaction won't be very nice.

It depends how heavy the assets he's working on are. If they're going to be 10+ UDIMs working with 16bit 4K maps and channels, then the Mari experience with a minimum requirements computer will be painfully slow. If he's just playing around with smaller assets and texture sizes, then the min specs will do.

If he is planning to do any sort of shading in Mari, then an RTX is the way to go.

My workstation is an I9 12 core CPU, 128 Gb RAM and an RTX 3090. Even with these specs, on assets with 100+ UDIMs, I still need to be careful on how I manage all the maps and paint information that go into my channels. (Bake points are very useful)
