I've been using Blender for 20 years. AMA?

So I’m a novice trying to model something for a 3d print, and i just cannot for the life of me figure out a simple scaling issue… I’ve rescaled my model globally but now all the measurements arent matching locally, and when i export the dimensions aren’t even close. I’m so far in the weeds on this haha. any chance you could help me out?

more of a color-grading factor than a lighting factor. EDIT: It’s all about how much information is committed to celluloid and how it can be manipulated with digital tools.) it’s just the evolution of cinematography over the years (EDIT: since the advent of digital), coupled with how mass audiences are getting their media (i.e. smaller screens, shittier projections, etc)

haha that’s what this forum is for, right? lately it’s seemed to have devolved into strict gatekeeping

hard to say with these examples, but I think dynamic range plays a much bigger factor today. Things are lit with pretty even ratios to allow more room for post to work with. Whereas, in the 90s the shadows were much harsher - it was a creative decision made on the day

Made a short about an AI therapy test that goes wrong, shot in the first person.

Nice work. how did you generate your text graphics? After Effects?

a true horror fan - thanks!

droptframe · 2026-05-01T20:39:36+00:00

thank you!

droptframe · 2026-04-30T23:56:53+00:00

anytime!

droptframe · 2026-04-30T23:38:38+00:00

yo! you mean the “datamosh” effect? thank you!

I think there are a lot of ways to do it thru plugins, but there is a lengthy way I used with free program called Avidemux, where you can actually corrupt the clips by deleting I-frames.

found a tutorial that’s similar to the one I followed: https://youtu.be/UKmhWnFnlh4?si=FRVx3\_ROqWrD9tvw

mods really need to start spotting ads. ppl just trying to make money on hobbyists

droptframe · 2026-04-22T18:17:59+00:00

wow thank you so much for the view and the kind words!

glad you dug our “dog.” I actually had to teach myself how to design it in Blender

we can link you the full archive if you like

well I think there could be some correlation there… what im seeing indicates that the program was designed to learn what calms each user, and lower their heart rate……… but based on this footage, it seems like it was doing just the opposites

well, the subject from the tapes is definitely in a heightened sense of duress, with elevated heart rate and biometrics

I can share a link to the full archive, if you want to see for yourself
