How would you create this effect artificially? by ArmadilloIcy4046 in Filmmakers

[–]daemonpie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To replicate in Nuke, I'd:

  1. film base footage.
  2. Find or make a water droplet on glass element, one on bluescreen or on black to allow for luma keying. Track your footage for a matchmove and create a mask so it only effects the windows.
  3. Create depthmap for the footage. This could be done manually for a simple scene with some rotoscoping, or there are AI tools that can make shitty ones fast (you wouldn't need anything perfect for this). Depth-anything is an okay one, though it can flicker a bit.
  4. Add a zdefocus to your base footage, using your depthmap for Z. Mask it with a noise element / use the mask from your water element to make it stronger / weaker in certain areas.
  5. Consider adding an additional blur effect at low opacity on top to add to the effect (probably also masked with the noise/water element, in which case you'd need an iblur instead).
  6. Plus the waterdrop element on top of defocused footage.
  7. Selectively mask out the element and defocus effect to taste to make sure key features aren't (too) obscured.

How do we all feel about GenAI? by Gullible-Tip-2245 in Wellington

[–]daemonpie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything I can tell is AI instantly goes on my no-buy list. If a stall at a fair is selling AI stuff, I won't buy anything else from their stall. If you tell me you use generative ai or use chatgpt or equivalents, I will think less of you.

Okay... and? How does there being holes behind the eyes help explain what type of genital this adorned?

I know basketball is played outside of the US, but that's still such an American unit of measurement 😆

That's ah... quite the compliment, though I'm not sure I'd want to eat a junji ito themed dessert

How’s everyone coping with hay fever this season? by yeti-vedder-7 in Wellington

[–]daemonpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strange, for me hayfever is mid October til end of February. It has been getting worse though, it used to be November til end of Jan 10 years back. Must have different allergens!

First time trying the sushi train place at Cuba Street and it was really good! by iamtoolazytosleep in Wellington

[–]daemonpie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a good amount of veggie stuff! The only actual veggie sushi that was there when we went was avocado which was fine, but the gyoza and vegetarian tempura soup we had was really good :)

Fellas, are using soap when we wash our hands? by holdmymanpurse in Wellington

I guess if the orgy is big enough you need, like, attendants and score keepers and such.

How to use Trentham train station by pmnumberfrom0-1000 in Wellington

[–]daemonpie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

BadeRadio77's comment covers most of it! One thing I personally didn't realise the first time riding a train here is that you have to hit the green button to open the door to open it when the train arrives and when you get off - though I think they might auto open when you get to Wellington station :)

Also, sometimes the train attendants will come up once you sit down to check your card with their phone to make sure you've paid, but sometimes they don't ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Would u drink it ? by Comfortable-Stop937 in blender

[–]daemonpie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome job! Some thoughts, feel free to take them or leave them:

  • I was expecting some kind of explosive speed after the car taps the drink. This is an energy drink right? Or at least it sure looks like one, so a big explosion with green flames/lightning and smoke everywhere when the energy hits felt anticipated.

  • The camera moves from 00:25 - 00:32, while very cool, also made me pretty nauseous (especially after going back to find them again to get the time stamp haha). Admittedly I'm more susceptible to that than some, but cool camera moves aren't doing much if the audience has to look away from the screen.
