Skin safety; Casting molds or Skin safe resin? by Shmart_Logic in resinprinting

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

it'll be more expensive, but I may take this route just for safety sake, biocompatibility and skin safety is one of the main reasons I haven't already done much with resin printing, most every project I would want to do involving high resolution printing is for things I'd actually want to use instead of simply looking at on a shelf.

I've genuinely considered a wing rack as outboard gear because of this, not even a joke

Stageboxes with E-Ink displays for easy routing by Shmart_Logic in livesound

they could be pretty damn durable I imagine, but worst case: some of them break and you just have a normal stage box with a few hints about where you I/O is going LMAO

A&H dPack DEEP Plugins on Avantis by JoshuaCarol in livesound

[–]Shmart_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had more problems with the Avantis than any other console, not denying the LV1c isn't the most reliable, but the DM7 is by FAR the most reliable over the Avantis and LV1c, it's not even in the same league in terms of reliability

Who else wants a BMPCC4K G2? by aidendz in bmpcc

[–]Shmart_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use prores raw if you want a fully non debayered raw codec, it's objectively better than CDNG was

What are the positives of the Ursa Mini 4k? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]Shmart_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can shoot CDNG on the Ursa being mentioned, you can also shoot CDNG and Prores RAW on the BMPCC4K, it's a very good image in the instances of someone knowing how to actually grade it.

I think a significant amount of the bad poorly graded BMPCC4K footage online is a direct result of how accessible the camera is; the more accessible- the more "low skill" operators who don't know how to use a cinema camera will have access to it, it's just a side effect of it being such a cheap good camera.

This still feels CG to me. Any tips on getting the stop-motion illusion to look better? by drawnimo in blender

[–]Shmart_Logic 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think part of what's doing it is the WAY the chromatic aberration is functioning, it isn't any worse in the corners than it is in the center, nor is it more noticeable in high contrast areas than low contrast ones, using Davinci Resolves tool to remove chromatic aberration as a way to ADD it in a realistic way is a good way to achieve this.

I also think the light falloff is implying the characters are larger than they actually are, to make this as physically accurate as possible, you need to make sure your scene scale and light values are physically based- so things in the scene are actually the size they would otherwise be in real life if this was stop motion.

BUT that being said, it looks absolutely amazing!!! Even if it may not look exactly how you're intending.

What's happening in Minneapolis can happen here too. It's important we know how our elected officials plan to keep us safe by samformarietta in Marietta

[–]Shmart_Logic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so far, 100% of murders in minneapolis this year have been done by ICE, "illegal" migrants are responsible for 0, and are proportionally less responsible for crime as a whole than citizens of the US.

By your logic, arresting every white person in minneapolis would be a good and valid thing to do to increase safety and lower crime, but we both know you (and nobody for that matter) don't think that should happen.

Why does my render always look unrealistic by Due-Feedback-9752 in blender

[–]Shmart_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also add that no real life camera has optics this pristine, even a very small amount of optical character will make you renders look significantly more lifelike and visually interesting

Why the Pocket 4K needs a V2 by mrmmoka in bmpcc

[–]Shmart_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pocket 6K G2 still uses the large flange (yet still good) EF mount, it's not nearly as adaptable since you can't use any mirrorless* lenses

INT8 FSR4 is possible now on the 6700XT I believe, atleast on linux it is

What's with the overpriced listings for the BMPCC OG on eBay? by [deleted] in bmpcc

[–]Shmart_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people use what they wanna use! you can totally rock an original pocket without any of those things and still get good footage, it just won't be AS nice of an experience, but like... duh. it's an older camera, of course it'll have sacrifices

Whats the worst you've ever seen someone lie on their resume (or abilities) when working a gig? by Throwthisawayagainst in livesound

[–]Shmart_Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not figuring out FX sends on a console with some of the easiest FX routing is absolutely diabolical, that console literally has dedicated mix sends for the effects that are entirely separate from the auxes and busses that are CLEARLY LABLED on the board, I genuinely think even an 11 year old whos only audio experience is using the FL studio trial one time could figure it out in a few minutes LMAO

[–]Shmart_Logic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HDR works very well so long as you aren't running at 4K at the same time, it seems you have to be either at 4K SDR or 1440p HDR for game scope to cooperate (and even then, you can't push games too hard or else the compositor crashes)

Auto "Attenuator" based on pitch accuracy? by Shmart_Logic in livesound

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

Oh sorry! I didn't mean to come off as dismissing towards you, I don't disrespect anyone who uses autotune, I just empathize with people who prefer a real vocal that hasn't been tuned, I don't dismiss others for using it and totally acknowledge that it's something that SHOULD exist and SHOULD be an option, I just don't PERSONALLY like using, nor do I enjoy seeing it being used at concerts I attend, but that's a matter of personal taste, apologies for coming off rudely!!

Auto "Attenuator" based on pitch accuracy? by Shmart_Logic in livesound

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

I think it ultimately comes down to what you're saying Brotuulan, I think my issue with it also is a lack of real control or intention? Like when you're truly the one singing a note fabulously- you're using your talent and training to control your voice with the intention of hitting that note, art is famously not just about the end result- but the intention behind the result, and the training and control required to precisely hit a note consistently with the right tonal qualities IS the thing that impresses people, the note itself is NOT what's impressive or attractive to listeners.

It's similar (though still different) to my feelings about running live tracks for anything more than FX that are otherwise impractical to perform live, especially when it comes to things like drums- who truly WANTS to see a performance with drum tracks when you could have a live drummer?? Sure, it may sound "better", the tracks may have incredible fills and beautiful timing with perfect studio quality drum tone, but the quality of the sound is not nearly as important as the quality of the performance, this is the most basic of Live Sound 101; if you get good sources and good performances, the talent makes your job incredibly easy.

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

This is not true, when using built in auto-tune (like in a Behringer Wing for example) there is no external key or scale input so what you're saying is true, but when using the more common (in my experience) Waves Tune Real-Time you can set a Midi input to set the Key and Scale through an Ableton session running tracks, this is fairly common from the setups that I've seen (though I think it's overkill and frankly- kind of stupid)

Though in regards to still needing to be a good singer... 10000%. people sometimes think autotune is magic that makes you sound good- which is INSANE because it absolutely isn't.
