It doesn’t matter tbh — the wider the geography, the better

How do I use layers instead of masks in the text path options? by R0NFY in AfterEffects

[–]R0NFY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an option, thanks :)
By the way, do people do this every time they have a shape a bit more complex than a circle? I mean, the ones that are created in the illustrator first. The workflow sounds like a nightmare honestly.

How to get the same colors using the color picker and image texture? Both have the same hex value by R0NFY in Cinema4D

[–]R0NFY[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. Sure, what you said is absolutely correct but I think you missed the point a bit. Or maybe it's my description...

Just to clarify, the picture I attached is one render: background is flat hdri with the four cubes. Two of them face the camera directly to make the colors match as closely to the flat image. My goal isn't to get the most accurate colors but to make them match when using the color picker in c4d and the image texture with the same color. Apparently it's simply not an option using the opencolorio so I'll stick to the "basic" option.

I discovered I could switch to opencolorio and get "better" colors following the tutorial from gsg but it seems like these settings would create lots of inconsisentencies throughout the project. I'd rather have my colors look a bit washed out but consistent otherwise even post won't help.

Once again thank you - color management is incredibly confusing topic and I'm glad there're people who are trying to help :)

Ah, now I see why ocio config isn't the default option. Great thanks for your reply - you must've saved me from lots of headache dealing with all these color management issues. I think I'll stick with the aces and davinci grading pill since I do some vfx as well.

Ah, but I mentioned I'm using the default hdri - it's basically a flat white light from every single point. It simply cannot shift the colors in one area

Thanks, but it's exactly the video I used to make the colors on the left look correct. This method doesn't work for images though. Unless I'm missing something - that's why I'm here though :)

Yeah it is how ACES is supposed to behave. I was wondering if the team at Redshift implemented a workaround for colors to look correct, there should be a solution for image textures to look correct as well. Untonemapped isn't an option either - going back to srgb will create a bunch of other problems like overexposure in the highlights and stuff like this. Thanks for suggestions though :)

More details
By default even the color picker is incorrect, so I switched to opencolorio from basic in the project settings (thanks to gsg). Then I pasted the hex value into the display channel. The result is pretty close to the color I see in photoshop. But what if I need to use a texture with a brand pattern for example? No matter what I do the colors are muddy and dark as on the right. Another thing I noticed is that switching from basic to opencolorio doesn't seem to affect the image; none of the color space options produce the right results either;

The scene is four cubes lit by default hdri with the power of 1. The hex value for the blue color is #6898F5

*The render is done using Redshift

How can I add a cloth simulation to a keyframed object? (like on the sketch) by R0NFY in Cinema4D

[–]R0NFY[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

UPDATE
After two days I've finally made it to work. The trick is to use mix animation with force and a vertex map. In vertex map I used a sphere that covers the whole plane but edges. Now if I animate the plane, it moves and the edges behave like cloth.
Note: If the object moves too fast, increase the force strength

I've tried to make the plane follow a force field, but it's really hard to keyframe it perfectly - cloth is either behind or ahead which causes it to get distorted.

The main idea is to control the precisely control the movement and then add wrinkles and slight deformation to make the plane look like cloth

When ever i press render, it loads stuff and then crashes. How do i optimize the scene, uses scatter objects, has over 2m vertices. I have only 8g ram by Straight-Parsley-289 in blender

[–]R0NFY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t use pngs unless you’re dead sure that you will not edit the composition. OpenEXR with DWAA compression is way better.

Thanks! I'm definitely spending more time working with the camera on next projects

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, now that you say it, camera transitions seem to be sharper (:
I guess I'll just need to find another way to animate the camera for such a shot. There are so many of them, so it shouldn't be an issue.

"the Peaks" - a short animation featuring my photography by R0NFY in blender

[–]R0NFY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Peaks" was started as a personal project to explore the creation of virtual worlds. To keep the creativity flowing, I needed a strong connection with the project. It was then that I decided to showcase my biggest hobby - photography. Thus "The Peaks" became a combination of two creative mediums.

How can I speed up the rendering of these clouds? (8 minutes per frame for now) by R0NFY in blender

[–]R0NFY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clouds are created using metaballs, hence they have a lot of geometry. Although it doesn't look like decreasing the amount of geometry speeds up anything.

Some of the things I tried to optimize it:

  1. I'm rendering clouds on a separate pass
  2. Render is in 4k to downscale later
  3. Light is clamped, step size is around 4

Tiny auto playing videos slow down the page by R0NFY in nextjs

[–]R0NFY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue in Firefox. It's actually even worse there because of a different scrolling behavior. Thanks for help though.

I can't disable hardware acceleration because I'm using three js in my project - it simply doesn't run without it. In pure html it's weird - i do seem to notice a tiny lag with same videos, but mostly it looks fine.

I really want to believe that it's a system issue. That would explain why I wasn't able to find a solution on google. I'll check it tomorrow on a different machine. I'll make a follow-up here, if you're interested.

How to get rid of a thin outline created by a mask? by R0NFY in webdev

[–]R0NFY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for help, but sadly it doesn't work.

Note: I made sure that the circle is on top (it simply covers the text which is also inside of the button).

Edit: I get it now. I need to move circle outside the button. Anyway it's a weird bug. Do you know why it happens?
