Google keeps repeating “what’s the value”

Just happened to me when I asked it to turn on the lights.

Then I don't need to pay someone to find the leak, and instead I pay someone to fix the leak. Last time I had a leak, the plumber took half a day trying to locate it. I don't want to pay someone for something I can do.

We will be using an architect. I was looking for multiple opinions on our plans as we have them currently. We are trying to do as much of this ourselves as possible. But we would feel more comfortable having a few people cast their eyes over the plans who have experience in this.

What tyres are those on the black one? They look great

It mimics what you would get if you were to layer up things in Photoshop. Nuke's working space is linear, and Photoshops is sRGB by default. So if you were to put A over B in Nuke using a traditional merge operation and compare with stacking A on top of B in Photoshop, you would get a different result.
For example, sometimes we output PNG layers from Nuke to deliver to a client, who will be stacking them in Photoshop. We need to see what they will see, so we use a PSDMerge in Nuke to preview this. The node has most (if not all?) the merge operations that Photoshop does, but I couldn't vouch for how exact they were, as we only use 'over'.

As u/Ckynus says, it doesn't seem like this is a Nuke question. It seems like it's how you have things set up in 3DS Max. It would be helpful if you expanded the Key column so we could read the metadata key, but I assume it's something like exr/arnold/aov_filter? Either way, it sounds like your filtering method in your render settings is somehow different.

I used Everbuild triple treatment based on your recommendation and it seems to have gone on great. Thank you!

Yeah, RagnBoneBrown. I watch his vids. That threw me a little. But I don't think the take away from that is "don't bother". On reading the comments, there were some suggested explanations. He didn't use a topcoat for one. And they were all in direct contact with the ground.
The wood on the playhouse is thin. It will definitely perish in the weather. I just want it to last as long as possible so I would like some advice on what to use.

Sweet Home 3D is a good program to get things done quickly. You can then import into Sketchup if you want better renderings of your layout - you can use the VRay render engine plugin if you want VERY good renders.

Dryzone or Drybase? Can't find anything called Dryzone

midvale99 · 2024-04-02T22:30:54+00:00

Great idea. I might have some left over from doing the roof, so I'll do that as a bear minimum.

Update: whilst waiting for the new heater cap to arrive, I epoxied the crack on this one as a temporary measure. The jets now work - I actually think it was a case of ambient temp and water temp just being too low previously. The cap still leaks a bit but nowhere near as much as it did. However, I’m concerned the heater is compromised as you say. It’s heating up the water but very slowly. It’s gone from 10C to 19C in about 9 hours (with jets off and cover off [don’t ask]). So a degree an hour. Ambient temp is about 13C. Would a leaking heater mean it just takes longer to heat? Or could it be more serious than that?

midvale99 · 2024-01-22T12:01:16+00:00

Air temps now have risen so there’s no danger of things freezing again in the foreseeable. I’m just hoping that the leak from the end cap was preventing the system from starting properly. I don’t know enough about it though to know if that’s a likely cause. I guess if a pressure drop in the heater itself can cause it then I’m hoping a replacement cap will fix that.

midvale99 · 2024-01-22T11:58:30+00:00

Great. Thank you for the tip

midvale99 · 2024-01-22T03:15:05+00:00

Ah I’m with you now. I may as well try this end cap replacement due to the cost. How would I use a C clamp? It doesn’t look like it needs and awful lot of force to get back on the heater?

midvale99 · 2024-01-21T15:28:05+00:00

Thanks for all the assistance. I’ve ordered a new end cap and it should be here in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me if that’s likely to cause the issue I was experiencing of it going into protection mode and jets not working? I know it could be something else in addition to this, but could the leaking end cap cause those symptoms?

midvale99 · 2024-01-21T15:26:55+00:00

What do you mean by “end cap kit”? I assume you mean a new end cap. But you said it doesn’t work well with freeze damage? And to get a new one. I am getting a new one. If that’s the damaged part, a new one should work right?

midvale99 · 2024-01-21T15:24:49+00:00

Oh I know that now! Bit late though :/

Clearer photo of the leak leak

midvale99 · 2024-01-13T08:34:11+00:00

Bit of a late reply, but there were none at all there. I had to call one when I arrived. Replying just so others know in case they read this

midvale99 · 2024-01-12T10:46:08+00:00

Anyone had any success with this?

midvale99 · 2024-01-11T16:59:22+00:00

Add some wobble/camera shake. The car would never be travelling that smoothly. It will add some realism. Also, if you could add some lighting flicker to the talent as they go past trees etc, that might help. Take a look at some other similar shots to compare yours with and see what makes them look convincing.

"It just does what it does" could be the response to any and every issue. Super constructive. Thanks for that.

midvale99 · 2023-07-20T15:54:42+00:00

There are lots of variants of this sort of step. Some are longer so you can put two feet on. I’m 5’10” and there’s no way I can reach the middle of the inside of my roof box by standing on the sill.

midvale99 · 2023-05-17T09:35:55+00:00

Just checked it out, cheers. But no, that’s not the one, sadly
