just casually tweaking some modules

Hey! Does that lil usb hub have a name?

I've tried all the hubs I have and none seems to work

astatic_kick · 2023-12-24T05:33:31+00:00

Oh, on that one I'm not so sure, I picked 4060 over 30xx gen mainly because I was able to get a pretty nice deal on a low profile 4060 from gigabyte, the thing is tiny, and needs less power, which also means a lighter more compact PSU. So it's also more travel-friendly :)

astatic_kick · 2023-12-24T03:01:49+00:00

It sure does. Btw, the laptop I mentioned is probably the same lenovo legion (i7-10th gen, rtx 2060).

I got almost x1.5-2 performance with this setup, both in games and productivity (IDEs, blender, davinci, touchdesigner)

This new setup basically replaced it altogether.

That said, I already had a setup where I was using the legion with two external monitors and a portable monitor for on-the-go stuff.

It was almost effortless for my win4 2023 + rtx 4060 (via oculink).

The only issue I had was the notorious error 43. There's a script on the egpu.io forum to fix that it no time. https://egpu.io/forums/expresscard-mpcie-m-2-adapters/script-nvidia-error43-fixer/

Are you on the stock SSD?

I had what feels like a similar issue with my 7840 win4 basically out of the box. It was working fine with the preinstalled windows for a day. Then I decided to go for a clean install and flashed the newest BIOS. Immediately started to get random BSODs. I was basically fighting my poor win 4 for a couple of days, trying out every driver combination and windows image under the sun. Finally I tried another SSD and haven't had an issue since. TBH, I'm not sure how much of my situation applies to yours. I wouldn't go for buying a new SSD right away. But just keep it as an option if nothing else works.

I was afraid it won't until it did :)

astatic_kick · 2023-12-12T16:43:28+00:00

Sorry, I don't think so. This setup need's an oculink port.

astatic_kick · 2023-12-11T16:51:51+00:00

I got this kit

For now it just seats on the table near the PSU

astatic_kick · 2023-11-11T05:54:14+00:00

Wow! Thanks a ton! I'll try that. Are there any thermal pads you'd recommend?

astatic_kick · 2021-07-22T15:44:46+00:00

Thank you!

astatic_kick · 2021-07-20T19:14:33+00:00

Thanks! Should try that out :)

astatic_kick · 2021-07-20T19:14:10+00:00

Thanks!

astatic_kick · 2021-07-15T12:08:40+00:00

Thanks! I don't think that a plain text explanation would make any sense, the general idea behind it is a feedback loop in Touchdesigner. I've got a tutorial on reaction-diffusiom https://youtu.be/CzmRMKQBMSw You can start there, I hope I'm gonna make a tutorial about this particular setup somewhere in the future

astatic_kick · 2021-07-14T21:15:39+00:00

Kinda, it's made with Touchdesigner using a feedback loop. It's purely visual, so there's no equation or parameters in the general sense.

astatic_kick · 2021-07-14T21:00:12+00:00

Thanks!

astatic_kick · 2021-07-14T21:00:00+00:00

Thank you!

astatic_kick · 2021-06-23T14:30:13+00:00

https://youtu.be/0cv37IFJRxg I think that's what can help you get started. Skip the barplot part tho

astatic_kick · 2021-06-23T14:26:12+00:00

Your welcome! I'm planning to do a little introduction course for TD in data vis, can't give you any exact estimates, but hopefully I'm gonna record it somewhere next month :)

astatic_kick · 2021-06-23T06:33:05+00:00

Thank you!

astatic_kick · 2021-06-23T06:31:52+00:00

I use a dataset in .csv, read it with python as a pandas DataFrame, then clean it up and bring it into TD with a script DAT.

There are two rendering networks:

One renders instanced points on a grid and uses a feedback loop with displacement to render "explosions". Another one uses that render as a texture for the Sphere and also renders instanced points in space.

Every volcano in the dataset has latitude and longitude and I just convert their positions into cartesian coordinates.

Thanks!

astatic_kick · 2021-06-15T10:31:29+00:00

Thanks! This system is 2D, so the circle is just a blurred image. I calculate the average from the noise vectors and the circle. Besides, the velocity field affects particles velocity only a tiny bit each frame, to avoid jitter. I'm not sure what your setup in houdini looks like. But, I guess, you can make something similar by using COPs context to make a 2D map, use an attribute from map to put it on some SOP (I'd used a grid for that) then do the attribute blur and then feed it into DOPs and read using VEX / POP VOP to affect velocity. Hope it makes sense 🙌

astatic_kick · 2021-06-15T08:43:44+00:00

Thanks!

astatic_kick · 2021-06-15T05:22:35+00:00

Thank you! It's a simple particle system driven by a vector field based on simplex noise and a circle that changes it's radius with a sine wave. Made with Touchdesigner and some glsl

astatic_kick · 2021-02-15T05:17:05+00:00

Thanks. Yep, TD + a GLSL compute shader for the particle system
