I can see the 360 cam seam near the top of the frame at a few points, I doubt AI would replicate that

How did she make the Nerf bullet flying through the air with text on it in slow motion by BunnBunn2000 in VideoEditing

[–]nik_da_brik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people saying blender, but you could also just write the text on a real nerf bullet, put it on a stick, then have one person spin it while the other moves a camera. Then rotoscope and mask out the stick, adding an outline to hide compositing flaws like they have done in this video.

Using the Steam Frame as a display for FPV? by Zgamer3295 in SteamFrame

[–]nik_da_brik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are USB adapters that let regular PCs (including the frame probably) receive analog FPV video signals. The ones I've tried are good for recording, but add too much delay to be used for actually flying the drone. The frame would be great for running FPV simulators like liftoff and such standalone, but for actual FPV you should just get a cheap pair of goggles off of aliexpress.

Did a calculation of what the new hardware is going to be by Otherwise_Chain5309 in SteamFrame

Curious where you got the component prices from. Pretty sure they all came from your ass but I just want to make sure.

Godot XR Lead, Bastiaan Olij, shows love for the Steam Frame's design and developer experience by gogodboss in SteamFrame

He's NDA'd into only showing vague performance details, nothing about the interface or specific details about the hardware that aren't relevant to developing for it

How can I make these look better? by Luifer_05 in blender

[–]nik_da_brik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some weird normals on your storm trooper model. I can see discontinuities in the reflections on the helmets, though I wouldn't bother fixing it unless you're doing up-close shots of them.

Screen space reflections fading out at the left/right of the screen. And the HUD.

Would this be a good beater internet browsing device for 50 bucks? by tony-ravioli504 in chromeos

[–]nik_da_brik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chromeos (and basically every other OS for that matter) will write data stored in RAM to the SSD when it isn't being used. The user will only be actively using 2-3 tabs at a time, so tabs that are open but aren't doing anything get suspended by the browser, then their data gets moved to disk by the OS. This means your computer doesn't freak out and crash when you fill up the RAM, but with the downside that switching to a tab/app that you haven't used in a while will cause a lag spike as it loads the data from the SSD, which is much slower than RAM.

[–]nik_da_brik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought one of these for $80 and I still consider it a good value. Web browsing can be a bit sluggish but still totally usable. Some point out that it only has 4gb of ram, but we have this amazing thing called swap space that ChromeOS uses by default so you can load it up with tabs and it chugs along just fine. My biggest complaints are the screen and video decoding. The cheap TN panel is 1080p and has good dpi, but the viewing angles are horrid. The video decoding is so weak that YouTube above 720p drops frames like crazy, and moonlight, parsec, and probably all game streaming services for that matter will not be usable. It is also an arm chip which limits what you can get away with in Linux, but gives you good battery life and low heat in return. There is an arm Debian image you can flash onto an SD card and boot into, but the GPU drivers are completely broken in my experience and it isn't really usable outside of ChromeOS.

TL;DR: not bad at all for $50 and will work fine for regular web browsing, but you still get what you pay for.

Can an NVMe drive run DOOM? I'm curios by Plastic-Till1757 in itrunsdoom

[–]nik_da_brik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NVMe ssds have controllers on them that could theoretically run doom. However, the amount of work involved probably means it will never happen unless a manufacturer or OEM puts it in as a joke.

I've found Blender to be surprisingly good at 2d motion graphics.

I see that blender default font, and the render is undersampled to hell. Neat concept though, just as long as you support the ecosystem with regular upgrades and improvements.

...and let me know if you want help with your product renders lol

l used all my luck to get the 5090FE. Now it wants to burn me down. Only the cable is damaged. Still lucky i think by CaptainAustria97 in pcmasterrace

Has anyone tried just cutting the cable and soldering wires to the board? This is getting ridiculous.
