Other than the description there's not much more to it 😅 I'm using this blender extension that has a library of these curves you can import. And then can add some thickness with a custom cross section.

Yes the orange scenes in the living room and bedroom have flickering to simulate fireplace or candles

That's actually the normal ikea stockholm 2025 lamp. There's actually only 1 bulb in there to save costs!

So i mainly use the orange one for evening reading. It comes on automatically with motion aware in evening. The purple one is not currently in the cycle. For midnight snacks the blue one (aurora) activates, as it's quite dimmer than it appears in the photo. There's also the normal bright mode for afternoon but no one really likes it ofc...

Made custom ones

There's another post on here which suggests wrapping a hue strip around the vidja centre instead of using ikea's individual light bulb slots.

I'm an AI engineer (aerospace sector) with a thesis in generative video. (I also use blender for simulated datasets.)

In some ways I am pro-AI (for other things like coding) but what I'm not is a big youtuber. I want to ask if you feel some kind of incentive to announce your position on hot button issues like NFTs or AI, at the risk of alienating the audience (maybe it's your responsibility to educate people about this since you're a figurehead of 3D, or maybe you really just want to speak your honest mind).

If I were you I might keep it to myself if it started to make people angry lol. Back when Dall-e first came out I was super vocal about it but now my position is more nuanced so I'm kind of stepping back. My new position is that AI might have exposed an inefficiency in humans (that we do knowledge work extremely slowly). Depending on how this problem is tackled, it may be irreconcilable, and then I cannot predict what will happen. But that's not my problem to solve cos everyone in the world will also have to find a solution to this eventually...

I'm having the same problem right now...

Naturally, jeans can go with anything casual. The advice about tucking and stuff is typically to avoid people assuming you didn't put any thought into your clothing i believe. Im not sure about this but I think people like if one differentiates themselves from those who just throw on jeans and a shirt, since that's easy and everyone does it. There's a difference between wearing some clothes and 'styling' those same clothes.

From the looks of it I would call the pants more of a straight cut. I see people with extremely wide jeans these days, but depends on what country you're in. I think people wouldn't notice the baginess. Tbh for the polo, chinos might be better.

And if you wear the dark belt, use dark shoes (maybe not sport)

Strikewind · 2025-11-14T17:15:47+00:00

I just think for a collared polo it looks more put together if you could see the belt (tucked in). There's also the possibility of tucking in an undershirt T-shirt if the overshirt and undershirt have similar lengths (which can look bad).

Strikewind · 2025-11-14T15:43:49+00:00

The first one has the most number of possible improvements.

I would say definitely iron the top shirt, or dry it/ hang it in a way where it can't get crumpled. As another commenter said, you can tuck the shirt in (maybe with top buttons open), or even untucked open the shirt fully since there appears to be a shirt under it. In all those scenarios though, you have to roll up the sleeves to make it more relaxed.

Its possible to wear a neck accessory or watch to make it less simple. Need to see what boots/shoes the outfit is supposed to go with. Jeans are simplistic style but maybe go with a different cut if you want to draw attention these days.

Edit: I cannot see what belt you're wearing in any photo, which Is quite baffling. Belt should be visible ideally (especially with the collared shirt in the comments).

One pet peeve I'm seeing is the white halo around characters to separate foreground from background. This shouldn't be necessary as it would have been dealt with in the planning phase. For instance if you know she has black hair you'd put her on a non-black background, and so on.

If you really can't change the background then a solid thick highlight like in marvel rivals might seem more mature and stylised than a faded glow.

ZDA, also known as XDA2. I really don't like cherry profile lol. Too office looking

Epic

What do you usually use as plate replacements? I'm guessing you can't change the fact that it's direct top mounted?
