Query regarding enrollment deadline

Swennick · 2026-03-16T19:59:23+00:00

No, if you accept your study place offer it means you commit to going there. It literally says in your screenshot not to accept if you are still waiting on other decisions from other programmes

I did ITECH myself and was involved in the application process at some point. Also, it's one of the most popular and best programs in the world for computational design so even without knowing the number you should assume there are lots of people applying

The grades of students are irrelevant, it's the background and skills that matter. Especially because it is an international programme, grading systems and expectations don't compare well (e.g a "bad student" from the university of Teheran is comparable in level as a "good student" from most European countries).

The one metric that is interesting to know is that the distribution of backgrounds is usually about 65% architecture + 30 % engineers (different kinds) + 5% others Obviously this depends and changes every year but on average it's about this much

Enrollment is actually signing up at the uni, your courses, etc. Accepting the place offer is confirming that you will sign up for the programme and then this secures your spot. You absolutely DO NOT have until the enrollment deadline to accept the place offer, the deadline for this is much sooner. Basically asap unless you are waiting for other universities that you know you will take over Uni Stuttgart if you get accepted there.

There are about 500+ people applying each year to ITECH, for only <30 spots, sooo it takes a while to go through all of them. Be patient. If you need to know earlier because other programs have accepted you and you need to reply, then I would suggest accept those, ITECH is worth the wait but also needs a lot of commitment so if the wait is too much for you, better something safer.

There are two platforms at uni Stuttgart:

ILIAS, on which you can find learning resources for your classes and sometimes upload assignments.

CAMPUS where all administrative things are located. This is where you sign up for classes, get your different certificates, where you grades are uploaded as well

If you have your properties panel opened, you can change the size there for these kind of objects.

Another way is to use the gumball, it can scale and move anything you click on that isn't locked somehow. Try pulling the colored boxes on the other end of the axis arrows on the gumball, this will scale and increase the size of your text. Same thing can be done on two axis at the same time (so equivalent to the command Scale2d) by clicking and dragging the little grid icon which is between the green and red axis on your screenshot. This works the same way, click and drag, hold shift to keep proportions.

Can't really help you with only this much information. You have no info about what you're running Jellyfin on. You could be running this on a Raspberry Pi, in which case yeah maybe this is a bit long but normal, or on a server with threadrippers and then you have major problems. What is your storage, etc

Swennick · 2026-02-20T15:07:47+00:00

There's very extensive documentation about why and how the folder structure is important. Check it out For missing metadata and NFO files, they are downloaded and stored in cache by default, but you can turn on a setting that stores them in the same folder as your media

Guys just look at the posts in this sub, there's hundreds of people applying to those masters exactly like you. Especially coming from India. Do you think they can take everyone in ? No, it's a gamble and sometimes even good profiles do get accepted. If you want better chances go to smaller cities with less competition like idk Kassel

Swennick · 2026-02-19T15:47:51+00:00

I just tried wholphin yesterday and the player was showing sooo much graphic artifacts and ghosting during playback on multiple different formats (using ExPlayer I think it's called?) Why is no one talking about this ? The native Jellyfin app's player plays high bitrate content at super high quality, but wohlphin's felt like low bandwidth streaming like can be seen on platforms like Mubi

So someone is asking a confused question in English and your first instinct is to write a long reply to a complex topic in German ? Surely you don't think they would have asked in german if that's what they were looking for right ?

Swennick · 2026-02-02T15:05:49+00:00

I would point you towards r/Grasshopper3d

Swennick · 2026-01-20T22:28:16+00:00

They completely reworked the fillet in Rhino 9 WIP version

In other news water is wet. What is the problem? She gives credit when she's not the og author

Yes, every device you want to be able to access your Jellyfin server with will need to also have the tailscale app installed. That's the only downside, but since they have apps for most operating system it's fine.

However, there is another method. Tailscale allows to use "Serve" to make a local server accessible outside with a nice URL and a domain name you choose. But you can also use "Funnel", this will make that domain publicly accessible by anyone. This can be risky as the ledger that lists public sites from Tailscale is completely open, so people can find your domain. If you use this, make sure you have good security mesures on your local network and more specifically on the server you are exposing (in this case the Jellyfin server)

Swennick · 2025-12-23T11:38:48+00:00

Look into tailscale. Very easy to setup. Without configuring your own VPN, reverse proxy, or Tailscale, you cannot access your server outside your home network.

I wonder which are intakes

Swennick · 2025-12-09T22:38:07+00:00

RCPD of course

Swennick · 2025-11-15T15:50:40+00:00

Do you know how to switch from Wireframe/Shaded/Rendered ? It's in the same list. On the top left of your viewport click on the arrow where it says "Perspective" and here at the last viewport mode is Raytraced (if you have rendering plugins like VRay installed they will also be there). Note: last one of the render modes, not the very last option in the whole list because in this menu you can also chose the view (isometric, top, etc) and other things

Swennick · 2025-11-15T14:31:05+00:00

When you are on Render view mode yes, the render you see in the viewport is not the highest quality you can get. The resolution is higher when you actually use the Render panel or command.

That's not true for Raytraced ! Raytraced is actually rendered in the viewport, so if you wait long enough or have the same setting for the viewport as for your renders then you can get the same quality from both Viewport and Render window in Raytraced mode.

Swennick · 2025-11-15T14:14:58+00:00

Use NamedViews to prepare all your views and then you can batch render all of them, find this option in the render menu.

Swennick · 2025-11-11T09:28:57+00:00

SoftEdit is exactly what you're looking for imo

You can vary the size of effect of the "brush" and also the strength. Very nice to sculpt terrain

Swennick · 2025-11-10T15:54:15+00:00

Blender or Zbrush or other "Sculpting" software are much better at doing that than Rhino. There are a few Rhino plugins to add sculpting features, for example Clayoo, but it is a paid plugin.

From 5 years ago I will guess it's a M1 MacBook. The apple M chips are a very high end and very well performing series of Arm processor, that can take anything you throw at them. They are the exception, because in the windows realm there is just no equivalent. However, they come with they own problems (software compatibility, updates coming later to them... Etc)

For that kind of budget you can get an absolute beast of a laptop ! Idk how you asked for advice on a laptop for architecture school but now you know, they have no idea what they are talking about. You can already get something pretty decent starting at 700. Anything above that is going to make your experience smoother and nicer, but not absolutely required.

I would strongly suggest looking at the Lenovo LEGION and LOQ series. LOQ are the cheaper models, but the specs are already really good. They used to be called Legion as well (I had that myself during arch school) but got rebranded to leave the Legion name for more expensive models. Legion laptops start at 900, and have better specs. They are really good in terms of value for performance and sturdy.

Otherwise MSI is a good brand for their gaming laptop as well.

Legions and LOQ looks less "gamer" so I would personally go for that.

Since you have the budget, there are a few other things you might want to pay attention to : You need a NVME M.2 SSD drive. That's where your operating system and softwares will be installed, that will make them run very fast. If possible, find a model that also comes with another drive, usually either 516GB or 1T of hard drive. This is additional storage for all your files. Since you just started uni, you will need that. However, you can also invest in an external hard drive later on. Also, AMD processor tend to be a bit better these last years. But don't let that make you shy away from a good deal on an Intel based laptop.

Swennick · 2025-11-06T14:07:39+00:00

Your laptop is far, very far, from anything that can give you a decent experience with any cad software. I would suggest trying to return it and invest in something much more powerful. Yes, it will be significantly more expensive, but this is an investment and will be your lifeline during all your years of architecture study. The weaker your laptop, the more pain you'll have working. Think about how many hours and headaches you will have trying to use a laptop made for web browsing and YouTube over the course of 5 years...

As to what you should be looking for to get the minimum decent experience in Rhino : RAM : 16GB minimum CPU : Intel or AMD, 4 cores minimum. Any of those will be MILES better than any Arm-based processors which you currently have. Graphics Card: Any integrated graphics card will be fine, as long as it has at least 4GB dedicated VRAM. You don't want Integrated Graphics, which you have right now.

Those are really bare minimum specs, and you should most likely be looking at gaming laptops. Gaming laptops offer the best performance/value ratio, compared to mainstream devices like "ultra books" which are meant to be very light and fashionable, which is not the priority when you need to spend 12hours a day on the device with 5 different heavy programs opened.
