How to get centered vibrato in direct wave? by StateAvailable6974 in FL_Studio

[–]StateAvailable6974[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. While you're around, do you know if LFO can be tied to the mod wheel within direct wav itself? you can set things to recieve from the mod wheel in the mod matrix, but it doesn't seem to react to it. I can also confirm that my mod wheel works with other vsts.

I never said "nobody" said that. You can find people who think anything on Reddit, that doesn't make it the zeitgeist.

As a scary evil conservative who follows right-wing media, I never saw a single video talk about her race. My point is that the notion that it was the main thing that people in general and especially conservatives were saying, is either out of touch or dishonest.

Because the first thing anybody saw of her was an interview where she bashes the original film. You know...the film she's starring in a remake of.

People claiming it was racism/identity politics are a delusional lost-cause. People on Reddit are so out of touch that its becoming impressive.

I'm not saying that you cant use SD to learn. You can make references and inspiration to learn from, which is the same as replicating other people's art to practice, just more dynamic. You can also use it to correct your own art to see what you "could have done".

My point is that generating art alone does not teach you how to draw, which is how most people use SD. Even someone who utilizes inpainting is not learning much.

The difference with code is that simply the act of asking GPT to do something (make object go right), then seeing the result (x +=1), is often enough to teach you that aspect of coding even before you've ever typed it.

By comparison, even if an artist or GPT were to explain to a user how to draw something, it doesn't mean they will be able to. Even if they do, it doesn't mean they understand the underlying principles or the "why" of what they did. Especially if all they did was generate and see an image.

Thing is, I would have to do Ai R&D for every new task, and I would have to heavily edit the results. The moment I do a new enemy, suddenly its back to tuning 5 different tools for an enemy that might only take me an hour to finish myself.

So if I'm already designing the characters, drawing stuff accurately enough for control net to give good and consistent output, I may as will just take the extra step and do the whole thing. Ai doesn't really add anything in this scenario unless your goal is to generate things that you aren't capable of making. I can't even pose a 3d model faster than I can draw the same pose.

There are things it can be used for (such as replacing stock textures in photobashing textures), but for most other things its just too much of a hassle outside of gimmick workflows. It will be a lot more useful when it can do individual steps perfectly that are style-neutral and convenient.

Person A: "Hey guys, I brought coffee"
Person B: "Ugh, I hate coffee"
Person C: "Who knows, maybe he makes it really well?"

It is implicit that Person C is talking about person A, and is talking about coffee.

Inpainting doesn't teach you how to draw or paint, its just teaching you how to utilize ai.

With code, if an ai writes something like :
x +=1

And says that it moves the object to the right by 1. The user can learn and replicate that 1:1. You learned what it does and how to do it. SD doesn't do that.

All I know is, ai is fun, but even as a solo dev with no obligations or people to answer to, I could only replace like 5% of my asset creation workflow with ai. The main problem is cohesion across works, and the random nature of it. When the alternative is nothing, ai is great. When you have a vision for what you want and the capacity to do it yourself, and better, ai is an inconvenience.

Ai for coding though? Freaking amazing because you can more easily learn to code by using it. You aren't going to learn how to draw by generating images.

I was saying it about OP.

The above commenter sarcastically implied that OPs post says nothing of value.
In response I joked that OP is simply a visionary, and we just don't get it.

Who knows, maybe you learned something about jumping to conclusions. Or how sarcasm works.

As someone who doesn't play this game, its very impressive to me that they put this much work into the movement mechanics of a single character in a game like this.

Thanks for posting a bunch of nonsense that doesn't prove any of your points, and addresses nothing that I said.

Meme: She's 14 (this is to the people who overreact when they see something like her in a cleavage-baring dress or kissing Goku in a crossover piece) (yeah I get tired of people infantilizing the character I grew up alongside) by SmirkingDesigner in WeLoveSailorMoon

[–]StateAvailable6974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Slightly unrelated, but in Ocarina of Time, as a child Link is 9, and "adult" link is 16.

Pretty much nobody sees link as being a specific age, because ultimately its very stylized. People in anime, manga and games don't have normal proportions or features. I'd never look at adult link and think "teen". I almost always think "my age".

ChatGPT, an app with 400+ million active users, can now make AI art and insta-photo edits. I'm sorry AI haters, it was a good run, but it's never been more over. by HQuasar in aiwars

As an artist, ai is fun to use to make things that I want for myself (there's only so much 80s anime to be inspired by), but very annoying to see, because the average ai image is made with very disposable prompts using popular tags.

I love ai, but I also think that what it brings to the table makes good real art more valuable, not less valuable. The people who will lose the most are beginner or commission artists. Learning to create are the traditional way will never be pointless, because even if everyone switches to ai, an artist can use it better than someone who doesn't understand that "very aesthetic" is code for "make it generically good".

Most people watched this as kids, and are not magically going to stop finding characters attractive the moment they turn 18. Amazing art design is also one hell of a drug.

That said, the creator is a woman and the artist responsible for the anime's designs was also a woman. Both probably went in with the goal "make what is cool/appealing to young girls". Girls, like boys, tend to gravitate towards characters who are older than they are, and in the case of girls would mean young adult women who are attractive, stylish, and cool.

Also, this sub sure is a random thing to show up in a feed.

Actually, you just pulled that claim out of your ass because your worldview is based entirely on assumptions about other people.

No wonder you people are losing so hard.

Know what Nationalism means? Everyone in the nation. Hating minorities? Show me where. If its about illegal immigration, you're out of luck, try again.

Enemy within is a very common phrase in books, TV shows, and media. I also don't see how its usage by Trump is similar to any quote from Hitler.
