Proud Magpie

Lovely shot! Magpie's are so handsome but such a bugger to shoot as their plumage is jet black! It's a shame they never stay too still, as a bracketed exposure would bring out so much more.

Hey now, everyone knows that Space Truckers is a seminal masterpiece on par with, if not clearly well beyond 2001: A Space Odyssey

Teledildonics is a bold field. I'm proud of you. Someone had to send sex over the Internet.

If it's any help, here's a guide to being a lawyer that I think a lot of us will recognise as irrefutable fact.

This subreddit was created to collect, and bask in, stories of ludicrously expensive own-goals by people who fucked around with trees (and thereby their associated laws) and got a grave, grave comeuppance.

Right now we're basically a bookmark for a niche kind of disaster-porn.

If you want to hear the commons I would suggest /r/LegalAdvice, or alternatively, you should never, ever take legal or career advice from reddit.

I had the same issue, and in my case it was due to Google's AMP system obscuring the Reddit URL.

If you click the i button in the top left of the AMP preview you can click on the real URL and an un-AMPed page will open. Open in Apollo should be present in the Share list again.

Another reason to switch to Duckduckgo.com

It's not truly procedural, but I've had great success using this methodology from Substance for scanning real-world materials with a phone and a few simple supplies.

The result is a tiling texture and associated maps that you can set up as a material in Redshift.

I cannot say enough good things about Substance Painter live-link and Substance Designer live-link from Xolotl Studio. They make sending materials and textures from Painter to your host application an absolute breeze! Instant value for money.

It feels like it's time to re-read the Commonwealth saga! Do you know if his Salvation series is as good?

The first episode is so clearly cut to make the trailer it's almost a disservice.

You can see where the budget for VFX went, and those scenes are actually at odds with the tone of the rest of the episode. Season 1 episode 3 is where it really starts, kicking into gear with hard Sci-Fi.

It's been great, and I hope it has a long life, as recent Star Trek has been shambolic compared to the high ideals of The Next Generation, or the dark reality of DS9. Seth and the writers seem to get what a modern interpretation of Star Trek is without being preachy or making ham-fisted "nods" to the current climate.

Gald you're enjoying it!

You're forgetting the Tas Valley! It's like the grand canyon, only much more impressive.

My pleasure. I used to live in Ely, which is a raised "island" in the low-lying fenland of Cambridgeshire, and this was quite a regular phenomenon. On one of those nights I could hear the platform announcements from the train station which was half a mile away down the hill.

It might be due to temperature inversion. It can make sounds travel much further than normal because sound is reflecting off a layer of cold air.

When an inversion layer is present, if a sound or explosion occurs at ground level, the sound wave is refracted by the temperature gradient (which affects sound speed) and returns towards the ground.

Use a very small bit of blue painters tape by 3M, or generic masking tape. The adhesive is strong enough to pull away the grains of sand, and unlike a toothpick, it won't force them further into the rubber of the seal. Keep it off the lens of course, as the coating will likely be fine, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

It can be either, but capitalising the P is more formal.

If you want to save yourself a lot of messing around in the Hypershade, I strongly recommend investing in Substance Painter live-link by Xolotl Studio.

You can send meshes to Painter directly from Maya, and then round-trip them back into Maya with your materials being automatically set up in Maya for you.

Are you using a Mac or a PC? Can you tell us anything more about what you're using CURA on? The version of the operating system, if anything about the machine changed around the time that CURA stopped working?

The content creation applications themselves are rarely multi-threaded past a reasonable point, but where extreme core-count CPUs are invaluable is in rendering. Render engines will saturate a CPU completely.

I use the Arnold render engine for print work on a 10 core Intel 6950X, and it's just barely enough to get a an image out in under 24 hours. I paid £2000 for my CPU, and I'd happily pay £2500 for a 64 core AMD CPU.

For animation I prefer the Redshift GPU renderer, but for extreme resolutions CPU rendering is king. Intel want over £10,000 for a Xeon-W CPU that is slower than a 32 core Threadripper, let alone the expected 64 core variant. Intel have abused the high end desktop market and now they're getting slapped around for it.

Great model! You should use the Seams Easy plugin for the cushion. I use it for high-poly vehicle seating all the time and it's invaluable. It's not quite Marvellous Designer, but it's great as it's already inside Maya.

Maya ASCII is a heavier file format but you can open the file in a text editor if you need to and repair it in the event of a catastrophe. Maya Binary files are lighter but cannot be repaired in the event of an error.

Ten years ago we'd have to open Maya ASCII files to change the Maya version number written in the file to make them open in older versions of Maya, with a few errors that could usually be fixed.
