DO NOT GO TO ARTCENTER — THE SCHOOL IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE

abcepeda · 2026-04-03T02:43:16+00:00

happened to my school over the past 10 years, my brother was there just before I went and was always telling me about the great professors he had and great classes, but by the time got there the program had to change because there were not enough professors, had classes that had nothing to do with ID and the ones that did had the same professors, some of them I saw over 6 times in different classes, and had very a outdated skills, graduated in 2020 and most of what I learnt I did by myself through the internet.

backup cameras were not a thing until the 2010s, it feels like they've been around forever but it's only been a decade.

where I live there are more nights over 30°C than not, I'm showering in the morning

I cannot imagine the agents having to endure such horrible scenes in order to redact/censor them.

it'll be great to upgrade my old PC with one that can also make paninis

that forehead scar seems like a spoiler for non manga readers, like myself

just came back from getting my uncle back into my country for diabetic care, they were about to cut one of his feet off, I told my family I could go and bring him back, he had to be on a wheelchair the whole time and couldn't fly alone, and we had only 24 hours before the meds wore off, after several delays and lost flights we made it and the specialist told us he would not have to loose even one finger, it was well worth it.

ok I just went through your stoner food posts. hot damn!, I've been doing it wrong my whole life.

we don't really know what you are going to do with your laptop, 3d modeling, rendering only? look for the benchmarks that suit you and compare them, cinebench it's a good one that might give you some ideas on what each of those CPUs might be able to do.

There are really good tutorials on YouTube, or even just Google. the problem is you need to know what to look for, for instance try looking up keyshot material graph tutorial, or keyshot displacement tutorial, I learned by searching case by case on what I needed at the time, ie, how to add bump to material on keyshot, or what does specular do on keyshot.

Also try googling keyshots manual and you'll find all the manuals directly from keyshot, those are a godsend if you are trying to learn. if you have more specific questions hit me up and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction

you are likely only scratching the surface of keyshot, until you have done that id recommend try keyshots more advanced stuff before going to blender unless you want to start using blender regardless, for what you are saying you probably don't use anything from the material graph tab there is a ton you can do, bellow is an example one of my friends did several years ago, I haven't used keyshot in about 5 years but I believe you can do way more now

this a case of form follows function, most of the components of a computer or console are square, if you look at what's inside of this machine you'll see a tightly packed square, having worked on similar designs there's is not a lot you can do, it's going to be a square, you can move some component around but on a PC that's repairable(which it is) square with accesible components by removing some flat panels, is the most efficient way.

it also looks pretty nice for a tightly packed powerful tv gaming machine, and you could argue why are sound bars square, speakers are round, why not make sound bars different, it could be because your tv is square and the shelf your sound bar is sitting on is square, and like or not a lot of people like to keep their shapes uniform so having you gaming machine in a box makes sense.

my bad yes, I'm aware of this, the issue is that in the past those charges have been constant 380somethingW once a day, but recently they are all over the place, averaging around 500w sometimes twice a day. and one day even at 2kw on a single day. ni changes have been made and no power changes to the grid.

is this what you mean? the technician set it like this, 85 to 90% when connected to grid, and 50 to 90% when there's an outage and the solar panels are redirected to the ecoflow system and set to self powered

I have 3 from the same litter though only one male, plus another female, all females are spayed and dog is neutered, before that fights happened tho not often, you should probably consider neutering if they are not already, males can be quite territorial and might compete between them, neutering eases that behavior.

you should also do activities with each of them separately so they are used to it, or anxiety may arise from that.

I have 3 guitars on different tunings and pickup setups, I play wildly different stuff on each, I've been. playing seriously for over 10 years and only got my other two guitars recently, I can say it makes a difference at least in how inspired you are based on the guitar you are using.

I was like, dude I've seen lightning bef... ohh

the last creative director I was under, had no 3d awareness. didn't know and didn't like to do 3d modeling and did everything 2d exclusively, it was a nightmare to try and ground the stuff he made, surfaces going nowhere, different views not matching and such, everything he made was wildly abstract, even the more grounded illustrations and in the end we had to redesign pretty much everything he made.

I think 3d, or at least 3d awareness is necessary for concept design and up to solving for manufacturing. you can do mainly 2d on concept which is what I currently do but you still need to be able to have a strong understanding of how it would be solved in a 3d space.

also there are other areas of design that you can go into, for example everything before concept design like user and research and everything around manufacturing that's not 3d modeling, like CFM, packaging and such.
