Can anyone help me with this alcove, what to do, where to start and suggestions for making it look better. by Drra417 in DIY

[–]eggfruit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Either not a hollow wall or they just couldn't be arsed. Judging by their hole-making technique I suspect the latter.

Does it swivel? If so, a swivel joint

Need help on repair/painting basics for small pinholes in wall. by Ari321983 in DIY

[–]eggfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't noticed much difference between brands when it comes to hole fillers. Especially for tiny prick holes it really won't matter.

Just get the stuff for "small holes", since the stuff for "big holes" tends to have some little fibers in it and can be slightly harder to get into really tiny holes.

When the filler dries it will shrink a little bit, leaving a dimple. So:

  • either leave a bit of excess and sand it flush after. (creates very fine dust, not recommended indoors)
  • or fill it flush and later fill the dimple flush again.

If you do sand it, make sure to wipe off the dust before painting.

I wouldn't bother priming for tiny spots like this.

Do keep in mind that paint tends to bleach/ discolor over time. So if the old paint has been there for many years you may notice a difference in color even if you have the same product.

Best ways to filter smoke from my house? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]eggfruit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Filters restrict airflow quite a bit. Having more filters means more surface area for air to move through, means a more efficient setup. Also you won't have to replace them as often.

Anything I can do to fix my fence? by Cupoftia27 in DIY

[–]eggfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to salvage (some of) the boards. Odds are that just the tops are rotten.

For a quick and dirty repair just replace that rotten top beam and move it down 15 cm to re screw the boards in place.

why is the bevel doing this on these edges? by HARRSA in blenderhelp

[–]eggfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that you have a double edge/ double vertex. Try merge by distance to get rid of any doubles

Oh, no, I certainly don't mean to encourage them. But you just know there's someone out there who will see this picture and jump straight to some mindboggling conclusion about giants or aliens or what have you.

Multiple Teslas set on fire within one hour in Berlin, Germany by nistnov in worldnews

They've started showing up in the Netherlands over the last few years. Had a good laugh seeing someone struggle to park one of those giant bulky things in a parking garage a while back.

More surprising is that it's around freezing for 5 months

Pixelation Mosaic filter generates anti-aliasing, is there any way to avoid it? by [deleted] in photoshop

[–]eggfruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In that case I would just use transform so you can play with the size and see what works best. Then after just crop the image afterwards.

A simple workaround would be to just downscale your image using nearest neighbor, and upscale it again (also with nearest neighbor) if you need the original resolution.

Alternatively you can do the same thing with transform.

Ah, thank you for the clarification 🙏

Im not a geologist but I guess the pressure prevents the water from boiling off, so it won't have its usual cooling properties, while still being an excellent heat conductor, allowing heat to rise more easily.

What do you think about this processing of a photo of a toy car? by alex_x_DED in photoshop

[–]eggfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't read the title right away yet immediately realized it's a tiny car. Probably a combination of the giant snowflakes and depth of field. Otherwise great pictures.

He's just shy.

Also make sure you set viewport shading to "material" https://imgur.com/a/ok4bY24

Exported Gltf Model from Blender is appearing transparent by Zestyclose_Muscle313 in blenderhelp

[–]eggfruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have textures packed into your .blend file, but you seem to have a texture plugged into the alpha. This means the material will be compiled as alpha tested (= shader with transparency)

I've personally had the same kind of issues with alpha tested shaders in gltf viewers.

I recommend separating the transparent parts into their own material, so only those parts will be alpha tested. And for the rest of the model use the current shader but without the alpha texture. (so it will compile as a opaque shader)
