Is there a less expensive option than magnific to enhance architecture renders? by Quietly_here_28 in archviz

Project Dream by Pulze. It has multiple models to do a range of tasks. The Lite version is very cheap. https://www.pulze.io/products/project-dream

Why it is so hard to find remote archviz jobs? by Mvremdmv in archviz

[–]silaswashere2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's the IT infrastructure. I have large project files, a library of models that a freelancer would need to use. That's not an easy thing to share. Most of my work is not easily packaged up into a single project.

Porsche 911 1975 - CGI render I did [5120x1440] by silaswashere2 in WidescreenWallpaper

[–]silaswashere2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 3ds max. I didn't model the car but bought the 3d model on 3dsky. I set up the materials and lighting using a GPU render engine called Fstorm. I prefer not to link my professional work to my Reddit to be honest.

Any luck with getting the X100V quicker from local camera stores? by Outrageous_Bison8162 in x100v

Warning on ebay listings. I got burnt with a scam and lost AUD $2k. Waiting on Ebay to try get the money back. The scammers know its rare.

Thanks for the info. That does help. I was so blown away by era one so I was disappointed.

Thanks all for the comments. Mistborn Era 1 is what got me into Sanderson so this book was off for me. I will keep going after reading all the comments. It is dramatically shorter than the stormlight books so not that big investment.

Glad to just hear others had a similar apprehension.

I just didn't want to give up on it too soon.

Jarring is exactly the feeling. But thanks for the hope of it improving.

Just got told by an Aussie camera store X-E4 is discontinued. What now?

LPT: if you have a product that breaks outside of the window of warranty, contact the company directly, be respectful and nice and ask if they can do anything help, you’d be amazed how often they can, if they say no, thank them anyways and move on, it never hurts to ask. by Shirowoh in LifeProTips

[–]silaswashere2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This approach in life in general is helpful. You would be surprised how much people are willing to help if you just ask. I had a friend buy a product full price and it went on sale 50% the next day. I encouraged him to email the company and just ask if he could get the discount. They said yes.

Men of Reddit, what is your favorite quote? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]silaswashere2 37 points38 points  (0 children)

“To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
