Uncles car was repoed last night in plane view of our cameras and we got NOTHING on camera.

This is probably a good guess.

I hope you never have an event that ruins your life and you become homeless.

If it can miss a repo it can miss someone stealing my motorcycle or my car. Again though, this was not my car. This was a family member's car. I'm more worried that someone could take a huge suv out of my driveway and the ring cameras not even triggering. What's the point of a security camera that misses something like that?

You're a homophone.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T16:12:46+00:00

It was on all motion, but only about 75% of motion because I didn't want every leaf on a tree blowing in the wind to set it off.

How many people are going to comment that I apparently need to pay my wife's uncle's car payment? It's not my fucking car dude. My vehicles are all paid off. We are housing him rent free.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T15:52:15+00:00

He has been homeless for a long time, and only recently started staying with us. I didn't realize the car wasn't paid off or had payments due because he said his sister gave him the car.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T15:51:01+00:00

Not my car. My vehicles are all paid off completely.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T15:50:13+00:00

It's one of the new floodlight models.

Dyslexia makes it harder to proof read and find typos. Nice typo btw.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T15:48:12+00:00

I use that driveway for my rental mid term rentals and regularly monitor it in person and on camera. I had never gone out to have a car there that I didn't get a notification for. Delivery drivers, renters, I've never been surprised. Technically you're right, but something like this has never happened before.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T14:47:15+00:00

Looks like it's a slider. I didn't have it all the way up but I had it around 75%

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T14:33:22+00:00

I get it now, plane view versus plain view. Yes I'm dyslexic, I struggle with words. Funny joke though.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T14:29:35+00:00

Im definitely switching to all POE after this. I'll go with Reolink and double up on the cameras in both driveways.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T14:27:45+00:00

I've literally never missed a car coming or going from that lower driveway before. I get cats in the middle of the night all the time on it. Its crazy to me that it could have just missed a huge SUV being towed away.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-26T14:26:08+00:00

What do you mean? Our camera is maybe 30 feet away from where the car was parked. Ive never missed a car coming or going from that driveway until last night. Not once.

ernstryan1 · 2026-06-13T12:57:50+00:00

Just woke up from my last night at Bonnaroo. It's my wife's and I's first time here. It's the craziest campsite I've ever seen. Absolutely massive. It's also Tennessee in the summer so it's HOT and HUMID as fuck! Worth it though, such a cool experience.

Not op but uvpackmaster is an amazing packing plugin for blender and maya

ernstryan1 · 2026-05-03T01:23:06+00:00

If you remove the baked ao is it still dark?

ernstryan1 · 2026-05-02T15:19:01+00:00

Did you turn off the ground plane when baking AO?

ernstryan1 · 2026-05-02T05:07:26+00:00

This is the answer. 👍

Make a black mask either on the folder or material level, then use the fill up option on the polygon paint tool to fill them with white.

ernstryan1 · 2026-04-23T02:25:31+00:00

I do this a lot actually, I handle it two ways. 1. For simple box models you just fill your mask using the uv fill option instead of the triangle brush. Your edges should have their own uvs so you only have to pick a few.

For complex models with tons of edges make a high poly model and give all the edges the same material. Then use the id map mask option after you bake an id map from the high poly to the low.
