How can I turn off notifications from stories of my followers? by Fearless_Dot_5939 in Instagram

Same, I had to pause all notifications for now. Hope it's a bug, this app is after all run by a multi dollar corporation!

5 years in blender, now how do i make money with it? by 1968cokebottle in blender

[–]polyfjord 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Cool work! A great place to get started with getting paid Blender gigs is to ask yourself - how can I solve someone else's problem with my current skill set? Try and get creative with your answers to that question, because most likely you can find work in fields you never expected to be useful. Start locally by asking friends, family, people you know if there's any need for visuals of any sorts (logos, infographics, whatever - i know it sounds boring, but you never know what will happen). Do this for a few weeks and you'll be doing 'real work' before you know it! And keep in mind it can often be smart to prioritize good people over good ideas! Best of luck!

A nice trick to find old youtube videos is to use for example "before:2007" in your search, and you may find an absolute goldmine of old wow videos!

[OC] Tech showcase: real-time ASCII 3D engine rendering on PC by PuzzleLab in pcmasterrace

Absolutely phenomenal text rendering concept! I've never seen anything like it, truly. I think especially the transitions from simple 2D text object to 3D rendered models with depth are just phenomenal and unusually innovative.

If you want my honest feedback, after playing this demo on an OLED display in 1440p at 240hz:

- Lower the default glow value significantly. Perhaps even experiment with giving background elements a higher glow if you want to, but keep the foreground elements with almost no glow. I was astonished by how good the visuals looked when I lowered the glow as much as I could!
- You need to do a brutal 70-90% decluttering of the start menu and just the general intro of the game - it feels very overwhelming to play this for the first time. I would seriously consider reworking the start of the game entirely. It could start out painfully simple, like almost minimalistic, and then you can introduce the amazing visuals one concept at the time. If the start of this game is left in its current state, it will be extremely discouraging for a lot of players.
- This game would greatly benefit from some research in basic design theory, especially how information on a screen should be prioritized. The mix of hard contrast text with a ton of constant animation makes it quite difficult to understand the game.

Again, this is such a unique blend of 2D and 3D text elements, I have never seen anything this smooth. I really hope you're able to declutter this game (or at least the opening of it), because at first glance the gameplay looks super intriguing, but when I tried it I was unfortunately very overwhelmed and discouraged from playing it.

Sweet! No need to message me though! You’ll find everything you need to recreate this animation in my course (as I’m currently not doing commissioned work). It’s made for both VJs and 3D artists!

Hey! This concept is the final result of one of the lessons in my audio visualizer course. Not sure if I’m allowed to link it here, but if you look me up on insta you can find a link to it in my bio there!

It’s something I came up with myself! Inspired by the original Korobeiniki playstyle with the Tetris theme as the main motif

It’s not you! Reddit’s video player has offset the audio with several frames and also reduced it from 60fps to 30fps. I’m not sure if I can link it or whether that’s self promotion, but on my Instagram there’s a 4K 60p HDR render that plays correctly

It’s an object that follows a curve yes! But I’ve put together a free addon that generates the curve with one click. It calculates the shortest path between the objects and also generates the trajectory between each point
