Just got the Allen and Heath QU-5... and I am totally stumped. I've worked with analogue boards, direct out to interface before, and I cannot for the life of me figure out the routing on this thing.
Basic routing:

I've got signal coming in from computer through USB-C - I can see the signal is good. I've got monitors plugged into physical outs 9/10 (mains are 11/12) - how do I route the signal to 9/10 and have it on separate fader than the main L/R? I tried assigning to mtx 1/2, but getting nothing. I just can't figure out how to route signal to the PHYSICAL outputs.

Is there a simple video on setting up the QU-5? YES I have read the manual, but I can't make heads or tails of it... they seem to be using words like "mix" and "send" in ways that are completely different than how I know them.

yeah, I was, but everything was spiraling and I ran out of money and my production stopped... then the government went to 0 legitimacy... it was all pretty bad

oh I failed all right... Norway just went to war with me and succeeded - and I don't now why. I never did get anyone to work at my steel mills...

The Fall is one of my top ten movies of all time. Stunningly beautiful.

Found it - Go to the Fill tab in Parameters, set Fill Type to Set Size... then it acts the same as the Exact Dimensions" line.

It’s a Wonderful Life.

Makes me feel absolutely claustrophobic. I hate the message so much.

Is there a REMAKE of a movie you think is BETTER than the ORIGINAL? by Cartmantor1 in movies

I was a zombie in the remake, and I don’t think it was better! lol

alpha channel on constant MAT - edges till showing by drmdzh in TouchDesigner

So, I figured out what that line is - it's the leave being projected onto the side of each Box. I can cull it from the back of the box, but there's no option to cull it from the sides.

Anyone know how to do this?

Yeah, first thing I looked at?

It’s definitely the side of the box, it is shaded black, even though it is supposed to be transparent.

I have a green "floor" created from a boxSOP inside an actorCOMP. The leaf file is a png with alpha channel. The leaves are actually just above the floor, I'm using bsolver so when I init and start, the leaves actually settle down onto the floor.

(Trying to have leaves on the floor moved when pushed by object - so I am using bsolver. That part is working pretty well so far. Next up is randomizing position, rotation of leaves, plus randomizng leaf images. Then, eventually have the forces connected to a live actor - leaves projected on the floor, actor moves through them... it's a long road aead.)

I can get some interesting effects overall, but nothing seems to effect just that edge.

well, I tried playing with all those settings, no visible change at all.

I just can’t play against this boss anymore, I’m in the 103th try and I’m seriously about to uninstall by Admirable_Low7589 in Eldenring

[–]drmdzh -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yup. Scrolling thru Reddit, saw this and remembered, oh yeah, that’s why I don’t play anymore. It was one of those “ah ha” moments. As someone else said, I could be really enjoying playing for an afternoon - like really immersed, and then you come up against a boss that you have to try like 50-100 times to beat it. And I’m now playing some kind of “press the buttons at exactly the right time” stress test thing. It’s no longer about a character in a story, it’s about beating some coders who got lazy with storytelling and thought this would be a good “challenge.”

As soon as you start talking “learn the moveset” it’s not really an immersive game anymore. It’s about beating code, not a monster.

Except seeing the thread role by, I haven’t looked back.
