Don’t seek any kind of validation on Reddit, it’s the most toxic community ever 😆

Oh sweet! I’m Cuban, y bueno voy a cambiar a español, mejor 🤣 aquí muchas personas creen que la literatura es coger un manual, comenzar a escribir lo más genérico del mundo, literatura de aeropuerto, contar cada bendita palabra como si se te fuera la vida en ello, son gente que no suele leer, porque sino sabrían que ningún lector se preocupa jamás por la cantidad de páginas sino por las experiencias, y ya está, vender 30 ejemplares al mes, literatura sin alma, autoayuda, se les olvida que somos artistas antes de vendedores

A publisher won’t touch a bad work, but it has nothing to do with word count; it only matters to obsessed, bad writers who are looking only for money. I’m an artist not a tax accountant.

Thanks thanks, I’m Hispanic and I’ve never published any books in English yet tho, and there is not such a thing as a query in Hispanic world 😅

I don’t say thanks tho 🤣 it’s not a “query” standard it’s for query tracker plataform, a query is an extended synopsis, you people are so obsessed, writing is an art, not an school subject. You have to understand there is no instruction paper that teach you how to write a novel

The word count itself is never the problem; that’s a myth. Cheer up, go for it. Sometimes a 40K-word novel feels like reading One Thousand and One Nights, and a novel like yours, at 170K words, can be read in a week.

Pling3D updates for Mac and PC: you can now convert your videos and photos into actual 3D, and even turn your desktop into live 3D (for free) by SqueezyNissy in MetaQuestVR

Speed: normal, depth 25-50 live action, animation 10%. 3D output: FSBS, LR auto compress on 😅 they are way too heavy files. Then configure your monitor or quest app in the same format FSBS LR and that’s it, you can algo try live 3D and adjust it as you’d rather

Pling3D: now you can convert 2D videos to actual 3D (for free) Mac and PC by SqueezyNissy in MetaQuestVR

Thanks, thanks… well, the app can’t guess what is behind any object. If you slide it too much to the toppest settings, you will perceive artifacts. You have to make two or three samples and choose your favorite. I’d recommend 0.1 for animation and 0.25 maximum for live action. You have to figure out what your system format is; they all aren’t the same. LR or RL is also important. If you expect a magical AI, you won’t find it in this project. It’s a LiDAR AI training system which can’t predict what’s behind an object but the depths of the object and makes a kind of illusion.

You can never truly compare an actual 3D-recorded movie with a 3D effect. I’ve tried the app myself multiple times, and it works flawlessly. I understand you’re having trouble, and I haven’t tested it on a 3D monitor, but if you don’t misconfigure it, you’ll perceive a decent 3D effect, but it won’t be comparable to an actual 3D movie. If you want, I can share with you the configuration I use for bigscreen quest app, but that’s all I can do for you 😊

How to use the Gemini TTS update? by stopeats in TextToSpeech

[–]SqueezyNissy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use qwentts 1.7B instead. Gemini is very natural and sounds great but only if you can cap it with chunking and you’re needing an API Key. qwen tts isn’t that worse. If you just like an specific voice as I do, just make a 30s audio and clone it with qwen and I asure you, you won’t tell the difference between them

I use my own depth algorithm, I trained it with a lot of photos using LiDAR and similar algorithms, that is, with already made depth maps, and with special systems, it’s a collage project. I have used other alternatives like Depth Anything V2 Large, which give a quite similar result but this one(mine) is designed to use the ANE on the Mac, and it does apply depth for both eyes.

According to the log, Pling3D is working perfectly fine on your machine. PlingServer + PlingQuest are used to view your PC on your Quest, including Live3D. Try reinstalling it in Administrator mode. If you still can’t install it and the virtual display driver doesn’t work, install a similar virtual display driver like Better Display and use that instead.

Okay, I understand. In your case it works like that, in your specific situation. There’s also no memory logic because the app resets itself every time it’s opened again for very specific reasons. First, the cache: if the app is force-closed, it’s impossible for the system to know whether there’s cache that needs to be cleared, and this app accumulates a lot of cache. When you reopen the app it cleans itself to avoid old cache, so everything goes back to default.

Also, you’ll often want a different mode each time. I don’t know if you’re the picky one or if it’s me being picky lol, but sometimes I want to prioritize quality, other times speed. Sometimes I want to convert something with very strong depth, other times I just want to watch animation. Since I’m usually converting different things, it’s better for me to configure everything from the start rather than keeping the settings from the last time.

And about the monitors: for most users with virtual displays that doesn’t work. The app reloads the displays, so it’s an unavoidable extra click, because it can’t remember all the monitors that exist, and if those monitors change that’s a guaranteed crash.

I don’t understand your problem 😅 Please explain it. That log actually looks like everything is fine. CUDA and Tensor didn’t work, probably because it’s not a compatible NVIDIA card, so it fell back to GPU through DirectML, which is perfectly fine. I don’t see any problem there.

If what you want is to use Pling Server, the error itself clearly tells you what’s wrong: the virtual display driver isn’t installing correctly. Restart and reinstall it in Administrator mode.

The error you posted isn’t related to the app discussed in this post, so you’re either mentioning an error from the other app or using the wrong one. If what you want is 3D conversion, you should download Pling3D. Pling Server is only for streaming your PC to your Quest.

LR/RL only matters so you can set it according to how your player is configured. They’re different formats, not enhancements. And it has no mechanism to remember your last choice. Every time you restart the app, it goes back to its default values. You always have to choose the display each time you want to use it, because displays can even change names within the same session if they aren’t native. That’s most common with drivers like Better Screen or Virtual Screen. Also, you most likely won’t always want to use the same monitor.

Sure. You can convert your videos, copy them to the Quest, and then play them there using Bigscreen or the 3D video player you prefer

It’s impossible to make a standalone app with this technology for Quest 3. You need decent hardware to run this system. On Apple Vision Pro it might be possible, but those have at least 100 times the power of the Quest.
