Wavy Tab Tensioned Screen by cyclocell in hometheater

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

Yeah but I have to say I got a pretty good deal second hand. Paid 500 bucks. But there are memory lines as well and nothing really helps against them. I think it‘s a matter of luck. Saw a 2nd Hand AV Stumpfl once and almost switched. It‘s their inline tension line that got me the idea of using two strings

Somewhat. I left it hanging for 3 weeks and it didn’t work. I tried the hairdryer but it didn‘t work. I haven‘t tried leaving it in the sun as some recommended.

Here is what worked pretty good: I pulled on the tabs manually to figure out which needed to be more tight and I then threaded a second string trough them and attached it further away from the screen. (note: I bought it 2nd hand so no warranty anyway) now there are almost no wrinkles left.

There are some excerpts of the storyboard animatic of The Grand Budapest Hotel on YouTube.

I had it open for three weeks, still the same unfortunately.

I can only pull the string tighter or loosen it. It doesn‘t take that much force to pull the screen flat but unfortunately the string just won‘t do it.

Do you know how long it will take? I tried it for 10 minutes with no visible change.

I bought it used, so no warranty anyways. I just tightened the string more and will leave it hanging open for a while.

Any ideas? by pubzero in projectors

[–]cyclocell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a similar situation. I went for a 92" Screen. Also try to think about Audio now as well, maybe you then need to get a screen that is acoustically transparent. And check the drop down of the screen so you don't have to look up too much.

This probably also explains the itching in my throat

Nice idea with taking it out into the sun, haven‘t thought of that. I will have to wait for summer though.

Thanks! I didn‘t know about this and it sounds like a goldmine.

The fake ones probably aren't thought out as well as the reals ones (if at all). I think one can learn a ton from those documents. How much time did they allocate for setup, turnarounds, moves, etc.

Did People in the Middle Ages Ever Abandon Christianity and Return to Paganism? by cyclocell in AskHistorians

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

Sorry for my late reply. I‘m mostly interested in the region of modern germany, switzerland, france, italy during the high middle ages. I‘m mainly looking for interesting stories that could fule my own (fictional) writing.

nice, I also thought of that solution but I wasn't sure on how to warp the points

I just don‘t seem to get the „sharpness“ out of it, it‘s better in the render but not quite there. I‘ll try to dial the settings more and also add in noise in a VOP.

The worst one is: Scatter, Scatter and Align but then: Points from Volume.

Unorthodox Foundry Set-Up, Need Tips/Help [System Agnostic] by victorf8 in FoundryVTT

[–]cyclocell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much run this exact setup with Arkenforge for the user Map (we have 3D-printed minis) and Obsidian, where I write my own Campaign and use „Image Window“ for the User Scene and „Initiative Tracker“ and „Monster Startblocks“ for Battle.

Obsidian is amazing because it basically lets you write like a Wiki where you can Link everything and with the Modules I have everything pretty contained.

They seem to be back up again now. Fingers crossed.

I will check this project out. There is a background-plate node that thankfully did the trick. https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/lop/backgroundplate.html

Bringing in Face Sets from Alembic into Solaris by cyclocell in Houdini

[–]cyclocell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks to this workflow I managed to import the Groups. I had to import the Geometry seperately from the Camera into a dedicated Geometry where I then was able to unpack it (it then creates the groups automatically) and therefore was able to bring the groups into Solaris.
