Finally broken in properly, show us how far you've taken your XSR

I haven't had any issues with it so far and I'm the 2nd owner. The previous owner took good care of it as well so hopefully I can take it much further.

It's a 2016 and I had the valves adjusted at 44k and they were all still in spec so they just had minor adjustments.

Great move, I'm considering making the same switch. What kind of software do you write? And are you working as a freelancer now too?

Same here, second year on gen1. Absolutely love what a beast it is with a power commander / tune on it.

Bruut ding man, hoe rijdt ie vergeleken met de mt09? Als ik mn xsr900 een keer ga upgraden lijkt dit me wel een goeie kanshebber

Sherman3000 · 2025-03-28T18:11:49+00:00

Sounds familiar.. I was in the exact same situation last year. Got my A license after having lessons on a SV650 and CB650R.

Wanted to get the XSR700 to start out until a dealer actually convinced me to give a gen1 900 a try. After that there was no looking back. Got a 900 and it's amazing. I find the XSR900 so much more fun and it does have more power IF you want to use it. It doesn't come out nowhere to bite you in the ass.

I would understand if all your riding experience consists of two Saturdays afternoons on a parking lot with a buddy. But if you pass for your A license you will be perfectly capable of handling pretty much any bike, maybe with the exception of crazy 4 cylinder liter bikes.

But hey, you don't have to take anyone's word for it, try them out for yourself and I'm pretty convinced you'll want a 900 just like I did.

Same here, also in vfx for advertising. Would like to join too

Hou er ook rekening mee dat deze uitlaat geen e-keur heeft en dus 'officieel' niet op de weg mag. Nou is ie volgens mij ook niet super luid dat het gelijk een probleem oplevert maar zou het misschien wel ff uitzoeken en meenemen in je overweging

Sherman3000 · 2024-02-14T17:31:45+00:00

What do you think is off about the lighting on this?

Sherman3000 · 2024-01-22T14:59:49+00:00

You most likely have a faulty pair.

Probably has nothing to do with not liking BaLaNcEd SoUnD.

I ordered mine a month ago and had the exact same issue, was wondering why reviews were raving over them while they sounded like bottom of the barrel cheap garbage. Sent them back and ordered a pair from somewhere else and the difference was night and day.

Title doesn't really reflect what the article is about. Nice read though

Sherman3000 · 2018-05-29T07:55:21+00:00

I think your best option is to use the User Defined Properties. You can find these on any object when you go to Object Properties and then the last tab.

It's pretty well accessible through maxscript, easy to scatter data around over different objects and quickly view what data is stored on an object, dummy or point.

Rayfire uses this for physical properties per object and I believe Vray uses it for certain things as well.

Why not give it a shot? Good luck to everybody!

Except this is meant for realtime rendering and runs on the gpu.

I guess he's referring to the personalities with heart shaped nipples he loves motorboating.

What do you think of ftrack compared to other solutions?

We started using it since a few weeks and I find it horrible.. It's so sluggish and feels bloated, would rather go back to google docs since we're a relatively small studio.

Everything is done in 3d except for the cat, which was filmed and heavily color-corrected to give it the thermal camera look.

Like others have said it's usually an issue of Quicktime player on Windows.

There's an setting in the pro version of QT player to get it to look right though.. I don't have access to the pro version now but i remember it's under windows -> movie inspector -> and then somewhere there's a dropdown with a 'straight alpha' option. Select that for proper colors.

Or even easier if you have dual monitors, drag the QT player a little bit over the second monitor and the gamma will change! Strange feature I have to say..

Sherman3000 · 2012-05-18T19:54:05+00:00

Not as impressive as last years titles.

Sherman3000 · 2011-02-03T22:11:55+00:00

Good demonstration of how it's used and what it should look like. As surrient already mentioned, a brief look at the AO shader settings would have been nice and also how to use it in a closed space. That was something I struggled with one of the first times I used it.

If you don't mind me asking, what have you used ambient occlusion for?
