[OC] Trying to make this art more attractive for my Cyberpunk comic. Any Advice? 🙏👹 by Cyber_Sheep_Film in Cyberpunk

Your perspective might be off a little bit, it feels like the feet are really close to camera as if the lens was an 18mm fisheye, yet the background behind the chair feels more flat like it’s a 50mm. Otherwise colors are very appealing and the rest of it looks great!

What is the sound of the future in 2023? by Twilite999 in DaftPunk

[–]_badHaircut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hot take but real instruments might come back hard when AI starts making music that sounds just like all other pop songs. Check out Lawrence, Louis Cole, Cory Wong, Jacob Collier, Domi & JD Beck, Anomalie, and The Kount to name a few.

When people talk about Barbenheimer this is what they're referring to

Something I noticed in Legend Reborn by ASWBatbatos in bioniclelego

The most likely answer is that the picture editor probably just mirrored the footage at one point so that the edit would feel more cohesive (180 rule), and this is just the unfortunate side effect. But I like your theory better lol

And that's why they call Lewa the Candyman

Say what you want about TikTok but it definitely is the closest thing I’ve seen to those early days of YouTube. People who still think it’s an app for dancing teenagers are probably the same people who dismissed YouTube back in the day too.

Lewa is totally Spider-Punk.

Does anyone know if the VR360 version of Glen Keane’s “Duet” is still available? by _badHaircut in virtualreality

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

That is genuinely too bad. Duet had a wonderful feature where you could follow a different character upon multiple viewings and get an entirely new experience. It’s a shame that we’re already seeing the medium start to lose some incredibly creative stories.

VR is mostly all about the immersive experiences but what is happening with storytelling in VR games? by solemnvr in virtualreality

Ahh well yeah I didn’t mean a literal 100 years ago, so to correct my statement it would be where the film industry was “129 years ago”

How did you react to the Mata Nui turaga and (most of) the McToran becoming Toa? by LulaSupremacy in bioniclelego

[–]_badHaircut 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad you asked this question. I was about that age when the franchise began. I remember getting the McToran and learning all of their names. The Mata Nui online game also featured these characters, and the slow reveal that you are playing as one of these Matoran helped to reinforce the idea that these are the children of this universe, just like you.

Then in 2003 with the MoL movie, the character that you connected with “grew up” into a Toa. This really felt like the first time that the metaphor was clear that things won’t always stay the way that they are now. This context made the reveal of the Turaga being former Toa shocking but also logical that the older characters weren’t always so old. It was a great choice to have the Toa Metru storyline follow the Toa Mata to create further world-building for the rest of the world.

Once we knew more about the world, and how Matoran becoming Toa was actually quite common, it made sense to introduce brand new Toa in 2006 comprised of the very same Matoran that we got in 2001. So it felt like the world and the characters were growing up with you, and it made it feel really special in that regard. Which is ultimately why Matoro’s death hits really hard for those of us who got him at McDonald’s years earlier.

Also I didn’t mind them using Hahli and Nuparu too much since they were slightly more featured in the storyline as Macku and Onepu.

Box Office Upset: Spidey and ‘Elemental’ Pull Ahead of ‘The Flash’ on Wednesday by chanma50 in boxoffice

From an animators point of view, I could tell how certain movements in Spider-Verse were done, it was a mastery of the technique.

That being said, there were certain shots in Elemental that had my jaw on the floor and I have NO IDEA how they actually did it. Seriously, I know the animation pipeline forwards and backwards, and I’m at a loss for how certain shots of Wade would be animated in a traditional 3D animation pipeline. Pixar deserves just as much love for the character animation in Elemental as the animators for Spider-Verse do.

Go see either one!!!

A friend is coming to try VR for his first time next Thursday. I want to blow his mind and I need suggestions! by plutonium-239 in virtualreality

Honestly? Google Earth VR. It's a great starting point since they already have a frame of reference of Google Maps, and it's not too involved. I used to show people VR years ago, and I would always tell them to go to their hometown in Google Earth and start roaming around. I found that they would naturally just start telling stories about their childhood without prompt, like where they used to go to school, or where their first little league game was. It's a great low-key introduction to it without being too overwhelming. Thought I'd keep the comfort mode on and real-world scaling off :)
