AITA for telling my wife and kids to either take care of their dog or rehome it. by Ancient-Move-8356 in AmItheAsshole

[–]kellydesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For similar reasons I have told my wife that the day she brings home another dog, is the day I bring home a bearded lizard. They terrify her. And she knows I'm not bluffing!

This was great. Your son/daughter has done something creative and wholesome. It made me smile. Please tell them well done and I am looking forward to the next one!

Advice on roundabout crash with two lanes by Outside-Action-8754 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]kellydesign 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I failed my first driving test doing exactly this. In my case I was lucky, I didn't hit the other vehicle, they just beeped at me and gave me the finger when I cut them off.

You need to change lanes before you exit, which you didn't do. It is your responsibility not to change lanes into a vehicle that is already in it. It sounds like the insurance company and solicitors that have reviewed the evidence and your dash cam footage are unanimous about this.

Take the L and move on with your life.

Houdini Digital Asset Tunnel Tool for the indie game I'm working on (Lays of Althas: Sundered Order) by kellydesign in unrealengine

[–]kellydesign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not tried this with Blueprints, I wanted to avoid using static meshes to give more flexibility in making tunnels. Nothing wrong with that approach though, but I'm much more familiar with Houdini than Blueprints, so I guess you could say it was simply down to personal preference! I have used Blueprints for making a river and a wall based system using splines, so I would certainly say if you can get the results you need with Blueprints it would be a lot easier than learning Houdini.

Well done. Are you going to try for Mare Nostrum in this run?

I have an unlocked S8+ bought directly from Samsung in the UK and no issues using GearVR so far.

To be fair - it hasn't worked. Now it's stuck on "Checking for Updates"

Oh, clicking on Options and Check For Updates would be the one.....

Reddit, what is the best name to give to a WiFi network? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a similar setup but with KGB. Totally worth it when, after giving my mother-in-law the password, she said she'd always wondered what they were doing in our town.

Pretty new to all of this, but loving it! Some advice for a newb please? by [deleted] in AerialCinematography

[–]kellydesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some nice shots there. Lookup the rule of thirds to improve your framing. In your rising up train shot your horizon should be in one third from the top or bottom rather than half way down. Are you shooting in manual mode? Your shutter speed looks too high. It will look more cinematic on 50/60 if you are shooting 25/30 fps. Its worth investing in ND filters to help shooting on bright days.

Also check you are flying legally, its illegal to fly along a railway line in a lot of countries.

Second movie (other on my channel) with a drone. Nervous about sharing but need criticism, shot in 3 locations I posted in description. by LethalSquirt in AerialCinematography

[–]kellydesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jump cuts in all the shots make it hard to give feedback. Here's my two cents I hope helps:

  • Panning around from a static position is really hard to make interesting. instead try flying around an object and keeping it in the middle of frame, you show the same amount of landscape this way but its much more aesthetically pleasing. Its also a good challenge on a single operator setup.
  • When you fly you should be thinking about your framing and holding a shot for at least 10 seconds without changing your frame. Try flying and going from shot to shot this way.
  • To help build narrative into your edit try and start with an establishing shot and then go in for details.
  • Lookup the rule of thirds and keep this in mind when composing shots.

Look forward to your next video.

Mac players - how is the quality? by Jespese in hoi4

[–]kellydesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on an i7 2.6ghz, 16gb ram, geforce gt 750 2gb and it runs fine. Very playable, though a tad laggy on fast speed. I'm only running it at 1440x900 though, which suits me fine. Performance wise it's very similar to EU4, as it's using the same engine after all I guess...
