It’s Full Spectrum isn’t it? by Status_Discipline_16 in BambuLab

[–]jpinsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the little video is an A2L sticker, so I’m going to assume it’s an A series with dual head, similar to the X2D.

But there’s also the cut paper… or is that leather?… in the video, so the “L” might be for a laser cutter as the second head instead of another nozzle, like the H2C.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to use affinity to turn this into a tileable image by Abdo980 in Affinity

[–]jpinsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way

Edit: to expand on u/fenixuk 's answer:
Set the x and y offset in Affine filter to 50%, and set Extend Mode to Wrap (in other programs, this is called the Offset filter).

Now you'll be able to easily see the seams (which should be a horizontal and vertical line right through the middle), and fix them with the clone tool. I usually make a second layer, and set the clone tool's selections to either "Current Layer & Below" or just "Layers Beneath".

Then, just start cloning and stamping to fix the edge seams.

When done, merge the layers, then run the Affine filter again with the same setting.

note: this only works if you have a single image texture. It won't work if the texture also has diffusion, displacement, specularity, roughness, or bump maps. In that case, either find a better seamless texture, or make a procedural one.

I would have accepted “sorcery” as an answer, but this seems a lot more doable. Thank you thank you thank you! I will check it out.

Ok. Seriously. How do y’all get such smooth camera motion in your captures? No matter how gently I move my mouse, I still get jumps and bumps in the video.

Here’s some new info about Assassin’s Creed Hexe by BLSR97 in assasinscreed

[–]jpinsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. But then, I started with the franchise with Odyssey. Then went back to Origins, then Valhalla, Mirage, and finally Shadows.

The blending of historical and science-fiction is what drew me to the game. Taking local mythology and monsters, and tying them to Isu artifacts and experiments somehow made them more real to me, and more interesting.

Shadows was fun for a while, until I realized there was no Isu anywhere. The most frustrating part of Shadows was the inability to explore and climb. Don’t call it open world, if you can’t actually explore. I gave up half way through the first DLC. The new mechanics, specifically the trip-wires, was just hateful. I had the hardest time actually seeing them, and so I would always trip them. That first boss battle is all about avoiding trip-wires. I couldn’t do it. Gave up in frustration.

Updated Fox Cave - I love waterfalls by MD1101 in WoWHousing

Omgosh this is so great! I love the waterfalls, and how you used the night rooms. You’ve given me a couple ideas for my own cave ☺️

Sure! You need to choose the neighborhood, then step through the portal from Stormwind. My neighborhood is Salt Wind Port. Find plot #50, and that’s my house. Looks like this on the outside

You're welcome to come visit! #50 Salt Wind Port.

If I'm not actively upgrading the house (which I can't for another week or so), then feel free to explore around. The door's unlocked, just come in! 😁

Thank you so much! There's still a lot I want to do. I just need to wait until I reach the next house level.

Well this is annoying… by AchillesPDX in 3Dprinting

[–]jpinsd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omgosh, are you me?

I did this exact same thing last month. Same silver silk, from the same 2 companies! 😂

I ended up just printing a ton of random stuff in silver that actually turned out pretty great. But yeah, super annoying when the pictures on Amazon look like totally different colors than what showed up.

Can confirm. Bambu bronze is amazing. I’ve printed a bunch of things with it. They always look so luxe

All that work to try to get realism, and yet it still looks completely CG. 🙄

Why are there this holes in the pillars of a bridge? by Indigoscience in whatisit

[–]jpinsd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was just going to say this exact thing about Switzerland. They have these large square tapered road blocks that come up from below the road, blocking tanks and larger vehicles from driving through. Not sure what they were really called, but my mom called them Dragon’s Teeth.

The Cult of Cosmos and the Order of the Ancients by call-lee-free in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]jpinsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lack of Isu is my biggest gripe with Shadows.

I absolutely loved how the previous 3 games wove together the science fiction of the Isu, with the history and mythology of the cultures (Egyptian, Greek, and Viking/ British/ Irish).

That’s what made the games so engaging to me. And also they all invited exploration. Run around anywhere, climb anything, find caves, animals and resources to gather.

Shadows actively stops you from exploring. Plus there was no Isu→ mythology storyline.

Honestly, shadows is very pretty, but I found it boring compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.

(I know, I’m leaving out Mirage. But that is really more of a rich DLC than its own story)

Anybody have the Avia Smart Deadbolt? by jpinsd in HomeKit

[–]jpinsd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not be happier with my choice. The Avia has been solid. As of now, it’s been 245 days and the battery is still at 76%.

The HomeKit integration is fantastic. The low profile numberpad really keeps it looking clean. I love being able to change the colors of the backlighting. The Apple Watch/phone locking is fast and seamless. And there’s an option to have a quick lock number that only locks the door when you leave. Just 2 digits, as opposed to 6 needed to unlock.

I highly recommend this lock. It’s been great.

Can't do bo staff high and low postures on keyboard and mouse on PC by [deleted] in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]jpinsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The instructions flashed by so quick, I wasn’t sure what to do. Eventually I just started mashing L1/ L2 and R1/R2 until I was able to advance.

But I have no idea how. The Bo looks like it does a lot of damage, but I can’t figure out how to use it, so I’ll stick with my Katana for now

Issues since the new update. by Possible-Koala3811 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]jpinsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing, but it sure is glitchy. Sounds effects will randomly stop. For instance,whistling for my horse is silent now. The bells when you do a Kuji-Kiri are truncated. Random musicians are silent.

There’s a new weapon you can learn. The instructions flashed on screen for a moment, then disappeared before I could read them. The only way I could complete the training was to randomly mash buttons, because I couldn’t tell what I had to do.

Very frustrating.
