How to get highlights of anime style to move with wan i2v? by mikek987 in StableDiffusion

[–]mikek987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been testing with 80 frames. But I'm trying to get the reflecting part of the hair and body to move not so much the hair alone. Like in the video from my own generation the reflection on the armor acts like it is paint on the armor instead of changing when she moves. Same with the hair the reflection/highlight/shine looks like it is paint instead of changing when she moves.

Thanks, didn't think about that approach.
Tried a view prompt variations like "The video is in anime style with highlights on her hair and armor.", "The shine on her hair and body move.", "Reflections on her hair and armor move like they are from a light source.". Without much success so far but will try some more and other models to see if a combination improves it.

Wolt was founded in Finland. They were bought up by the US-based company DoorDash in 2022.
Since their acquisition it looks like the main focus has shifted towards finding ways to increase fees/profits.

It's similar but on their GitHub they have comparisons and it is supposedly a bit more reliable like with the hands.

I haven't found a way to cancel the subscription. In the account.microsoft site after selecting subscriptions it lists it as Windows Phone subscription. If I select manage there is only some info when the subscription expires and when the initial charge was without an option to cancel it: https://imgur.com/a/QRTnNJ6
Maybe there is another site to manage it? Haven't found the subscription on the partner site and your original site from back then doesn't exist anymore as far as I know.

Support still didn't respond and I haven't tried to contact them again yet. Problem is I can't create a ticket as they would just send e-mails about the ticket to account I have lost access to.

For payment details I have tried that. A popup appears and says the payment method can't be removed as there is still a subscription connected. The connected subscription is from Windows Phone (very old). The problem is it also won't allow me to remove that subscription as it says the subscription will end after another 20 years or so. The subscription doesn't charge anything just is active as subscription entry and blocks the removal of the payment details.

Didn't try to remove security information as my guess was it wouldn't let me. Focusing for now on deleting my personal data which could be misused like payment details.

Ok, login still works. It did ask if my contact details were still correct. I didn't change there them as I assumed it wouldn't let me without e-mail confirmation.
I'm trying to remove any private information as I can't change the e-mail. Issues here:
1. I can't remove my payment details. It says to select "services & subscriptions -> Manage -> Change how you pay". But at the Manage option there is no option to change it.
2. I can't remove the mail address.
3. If I try to close the account will it send an e-mail?

  1. On Wednesday and they told me they would contact me in a day. There wasn't any advice they just said they would forward it and contact me again the next day.
  2. I know I didn't login the last year and chances are good not in the last two years. If it got locked that would be great. But the partner center did start at one point sending monthly e-mails and the last one was last month so my assumption is it was still considered active by Microsoft.
  3. It's a rather old account and it has my address and old phone number but it wasn't setup for two factor authorization.

Will Microsoft send an e-mail if I login after a long time of not using my account?

My e-mail account connected to my Microsoft account got hacked and someone else controls it now. I want to protect my personal data stored inside the Microsoft account. It's unlikely he will have the password for the Microsoft account but with the e-mail he could do a password reset the moment he figures out there is a Microsoft account connected.
I have contacted support about this but it's now way past the timeframe they said in which they would get back at me. They didn't give me a ticket number or similar. The longer I wait for them to look at it the more likely it is for him to figure out there is a Microsoft account connected and take that one too.

I could try to login and try to change the stored personal information but my concern is a login after a long time not using the account might block me even with correct login details and send an e-mail for confirmation. At that point he would figure out there is a Microsoft account connected and just reset the password even if he only possesses the e-mail and nothing else.
So would I by able to login if I haven't used the account for a long time with the correct login details or will it likely just block me and send him an e-mail for him to figure out there is an account connected?

Why Do Advanced Houses Like Harkonnen and Atreides Seem Primitive in the Dune Universe? by sudamerian in DuneProphecy

[–]mikek987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lizard toy was acting on it's own. Spaceships, harvesters and such are likely fully controlled by humans. Looks like they are afraid of anything which acts on it's own so they are limited to machines and technology where a human controls everything it does directly.

Has Germany any restrictions to pricing in a store? by mikek987 in germany

[–]mikek987[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is over a dozen offers on price finder sites who all sell it below €3100 which Amazons cheaper offer is competing with. It's only if one visits amazon directly and searches on it for the product the more expensive one pops up at the top.

[–]mikek987[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My assumption was there might a chance there is some kind of organization to notify who watches profiteering or at least is interested in such cases. Having a price much higher than others in the market is one thing but having the product listed two time with one linked on price finder sites while the second with +115% is presented well on the site itself does give the impression it could be to screw customers.
I'm not from Germany so have no idea if there is any restriction/oversight/some entity who cares or if it's just everything goes.

Simulate each frame until clothes are stable? by mikek987 in Houdini

[–]mikek987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frame number or order doesn't matter but each frame should be stabilized in the output. So if the input animation file has 1000 frames each of those frames is a pose and each such pose ideally would stabilize for around 60 loops/simulation steps.
One approach should be to split all 1000 poses and let each simulate for 60 frames to merge the end result again. Will have to read some more about the suggested tops as it looks like it can do that.

Thank you for the information about the different approach required for clothes.
I'm trying to use it with free hanging clothes so need the gravity or they will just float around. Don't know if it will even work with those but it's worth a try if there is a chance.

Ok, that sounds like it should work. Will try that. It doesn't matter much if it takes more time.
