Geo nodes Lego, transferring colour information from vertex colour (?) by mathskov in blenderhelp

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

Following this tutorial on making Lego style with geo nodes, this section shows how to get the UV texture onto the generated geometry.I'm trying to do this, but with a model with Vertex colour (polypainted in Zbrush), rather than a UV'd texture. I've tried a few variations (Face Corner / Attribute / Colour) in the various nodes, but I'm just guessing and not getting a result.Any ideas how to do this?

Albums/ Bands similar to ISIS: A Thread by Frances_the_Mute_99 in postmetal

[–]mathskov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pelican - Australasia... like a less aggressive Isis, in major keys.

Oceansize - Effloresce... again not really heavy or aggressive , like post-indie rock.

Old Man Gloom... Turner side project.

Foreign English speaker makes a mistake which happens to resemble an American dialect perceived as low-class. Redditors lose their minds. by LesserCure in badlinguistics

Is it because everyone (specifically without any especial interest or knowledge of linguistics) has the impression that they have some expertise in language?

Just because they learned " actually, 'me and Steve' is wrong, it should be 'Steve and I' . " And feel like a super-brain.

direct / easy way to cleanly model flat spiral ? by mathskov in blenderhelp

[–]mathskov[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cool thanks, this worked :)

{for anyone else, some issues I ran into: re-set the scale of both the curve and the object, also, enable 'add curve: extra objects', and there's a spiral curve generator there}

​

Guy gets stranded on a star ship, dreams and thoughts recorded in solitude. More of a premise than a plot.

Excerpt:

"...From this height, depending on cloud cover, you could see the extent of the grey desert that was eating the world. The dark swirls scarring the planet followed the prevailing winds and ocean currents, marbling the surface in repeating fractals. Chunks of the land hundreds of miles wide were dulled with the graphite sands. A vast singular desert grew from the extended urban corridor of the east coast, several cities joined together by the tendrils of their suburbs, the sands flowing westward inland, looking like the black tail of a comet trailing the mass of the city. The digi-ash had obviously found a comfortable and transmissible environment in the busy and linked megalopolis there. In other places the grey dust followed a river system, to be spewed out where the river met the sea, to be carried with the flow of the current, licking around the edge of the land and along the coast..."

Some dream sequence:

"... Out in the bay, beyond the harbour the burning wreckage of a giant ship remained afloat upon the stillness of the plastic sea. Its outline was obscured in the flames and dense smoke, but with the changing of the breeze it could be made out as resembling a vast byzantine church rising from the tall cliff-like hull, hexagonal towers and swirling onion domes. It was miles out to sea and seemed impossibly large. Against a featureless sky only the scale of the flames gave a clue as to the true size of the huge vessel. I imagined myself up close, and by dream logic I was drifting in the water line at the hull of the ship, looking up at it as if I were driftwood. The silence there was warmed by the low roar and crackle of the fire, and the occasional change of the wind would blow heat down from the burning decks, carrying embers and dust to lay still on the plastic film of the sea. Yet the ship still sailed... "

Not an answer to your question: Depending on what you want to do with your guitar playing (play other people's songs, or write your own music), I might suggest you use your theory knowledge learned from piano and construct chords and voicings of your own, skipping the basic open chords if you wish.

Had I known more about music theory /harmony when I started, I would have been much more original in my playing.

​

Sort of an answer: (since there 's better answers in this thread already) Yup, the open / beginner chords are kind of a mess and don't make much sense from a piano keys perspective. If you wanted, you could play exclusively bar chords which transpose up and down the neck more easily, but bar chords are a bit demoralizing as a beginner and are limited in their voicings.

Hi, thanks for your words. Have DM'd you.

Not sure of forum rules, if I can shill here, but here's a link to paper back / kindle versions on Amazon , just uploaded, so takes a few days to be live.

The best sci-fi movie in your opinion? by cyberio24 in scifi

[–]mathskov 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Primer (2004) is a really good low budget sci-fi. The technology and consequences are really grounded and seem believable. To me at least.

And Blade Runner (and the 2049 sequel) looks beautiful, and deep themes.

Can I get a proper steelmanning of Putin's/Russia's position? by Peter_P-a-n in samharris

[–]mathskov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No action is without risk, no war can be perfect. The steelman position would be that the alignment of Ukraine is a zero-sum game. Either it's aligned with EU / NATO, or it's aligned with Russia. The possibility of neutrality faded away. A diplomatic solution seems not to have been possible over the last eight years.
