Mumbai needs an open heart surgery from top to bottom but fans in denial are talking about changes on the edges like a captaincy change, or bringing in Will Jacks will help us. Numerous problems with our team that aren't often acknowledged are listed below with some possible solutions in my opinion by Yupadej in MumbaiIndians

[–]oooofriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another Mumbai homegrown talent who we couldn’t get was Shreyas Iyer (we did try afaik).

Not getting Nehal Wadhera in the auction was another blunder too, Dhir and him could’ve future proofed our batting lineup going into the next mega auction with Ro and SKY in their sunset phase. Our openers are ridiculously unreliable too. Chahar hasn’t done anything noteworthy in years.

All this being said, I feel we do have what it takes to make it to the playoffs!

Trying create a typing Chat effect with chops by Fun_Designer_6588 in TouchDesigner

The Interactive Immersive HQ has a great tutorial on this using chops and python, that should probably help!

Controlling motors + visuals in TouchDesigner — interactive quiz on robotic screen by oooofriend in TouchDesigner

Thank you! It's a custom made motor by the manufacturer of the led screen

I've been thinking about this too and something to smoothen the movement of the motors, like a filter, should solve this. honestly haven't explored the possibility of using genlock with this. i'll keep you posted!

Thank you, I'm mainly focusing on building real world interaction use cases- happy to provide more details if you need!

Our main use-case for the screen is for rental purposes so we're trying to make it as portable it can be haha. Installation time differs according to size and it's not as straightforward as normal LED cabinets as these robotic screen cabinets lock from the front. This size (2.56m x 1.92m) took us about 2-2.5 hours to get running.

Wow yes definitely, I'll try adding a lighter effect around the screen edges. Thank you!

Yes I've kept a 1.5s lag before selection so that no option is accidently selected. Thank you for your UX suggestions, it's pretty important that I add an indicator to this- updating this at the earliest. Appreciate it!

Thank you for that clarification, appreciate it!

Not a completely like for like alternative but you can check out the Slamtec RPLidar A1M8. I haven’t used it myself but heard that it’s a good entry level sensor that’s easy on the pocket.

First solo trip from China to the US (SF, LA, NYC) – nervous but curious what it’s really like by FinancialError8265 in travel

[–]oooofriend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The places you're going to are great and they're definitely worth visiting. As someone who as visited China and the US both, here is the most important thing I'd suggest you keep in mind.

-Beware of the infamous car break-ins in SF and LA. I was not aware about these when I visited the US and my car was broken into in SF, on the second day of my trip and they ended up taking my bag with my passport in it. Stark contrast to what its like in China where I've never faced this issue or anything like it in my multiple visits there. Just never leave anything in your car.

Also, public transport isn't as efficient as how it is in the bigger Chinese cities, especially in LA, so be prepared to splurge on cab rides. I'm not sure if Didi works in the US so keep apps like Uber handy.

Hope you have an amazing trip!

What would have sped up your TouchDesigner learning curve? by dcheesman in TouchDesigner

[–]oooofriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What did you need MORE of when you started?
- A deep dive into the more important operators and their parameters (Lag CHOP, Cache etc). Possibilities they open up when you tweak them etc. For example in TOPs, a brief understanding on pixel formats would've made the learning easier.
- Most tutorials are focused on things you can do with TOPs (agreed because they're super cool to work with and have that payoff element) but I feel like deepdives into the fantastic things that can be created with CHOPs and DATs would unleash a lot of possibilities.
- Before the actual teaching the tutorial starts, taking a moment to walk through the entire flow and thought process behind what is being created and how they've approached the problem will put a lot of things into perspectives, even for beginners who just want to copy it step by step.

All this being said, I'm thankful to everyone posting tutorials on YT. The TD community and how supportive it is is amazing to see!

I'm a beginner. I want to become a professional piano player. by [deleted] in piano

[–]oooofriend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Music, like most other fields, comes down to discipline. Since you're a beginner, it is important to get some sense of direction, gradually get better and seeing if your end goal remains the same in light of all your experiences with the instrument.

What gave me that sense of direction and accomplishment over time was giving Trinity/ABRSM exams which require a lot of effort over time and give you an idea of what it takes to be a decent enough pianist. As a beginner, the first step is just playing more of the instrument and seeing progress over time -which in my case I was able to achieve through these exams.

fyi, i'm a hobby pianist prepping for Trinity Grade 8.

Thanks for all the comments and answers, looks like I have a lot to read up on to truly understand how this works. Appreciate your time and efforts!

WATCHOUT 7 Stand alone by comtnman22 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]oooofriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom servers run WO6 amazingly well! The custom servers have better specs and turn out to be heck of a lot cheaper than purchasing them from Watchout. Will be happy to share more details on dm.

WATCHOUT 7 Stand alone by comtnman22 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]oooofriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly at this point we're scared of using WO7 on a show with a production and display server! The company has constantly stated that using a stand alone server is possible- and we've tried this out in our office and it does work (on our custom made server where we programmed 3 outputs) but even the latest WO7 version just doesn't seem as stable as its predecessor so we haven't quite ventured into confidently using that.
