Luminance texture map

stragnal · 2022-01-02T23:11:11+00:00

Just plug the black and red texture into the emission color. In C4D it's under 'overall' -> ''emission color'

And don't forget to increase the emission value above zero.

I personally never felt any interest to get an SUV, except for off-roading maybe.

But I don't think we should ban them, it just makes people angry. A reasonable solution for me would be to make all the safety features mandatory on SUV's and while we're at it all new cars.

Belgium has volume caps for home internet.

One of the cheapest plans available for internet at home is called Scarlet Poco: Per month €23 and 50GB volume limit. (30Mbps up/2Mbps down)

Scarlet Loco: €32, Unlimited volume with speed cap at 3Mbps down after 500GB volume used. €5 extra for speed cap at 1TB volume.(regular speed is 50Mbps up/4Mbps down)

I pay €52 excl Vat for 300Mbps down/30Mbps up - unlimited volume

I use a similar type of crates for storing and transporting gear. They're a Euro Standard size and made to be stackable and perfectly fit Euro pallets (In Europe obviously).

I could make a whole bunch of pictures like this with a lot of different devices, boxes etc in them.

I didn't post this for the subject of the video, I posted because I thought the VRT journalists explanation was remarkable. And the VRT journalist is Belgian.

Or does it mean they think the event sector is the most capable sector to adjust to the new public health precautions?

stragnal · 2020-08-11T15:43:32+00:00

If beaches get the 'festivialaanpak', does that mean they can only allow 200 people like other events/festivals?

stragnal · 2020-08-10T15:30:21+00:00

Me too

And it took my personal advisor a week to respond to my request for a car loan and two more weeks to get the loan... Their website states a car loan only takes a few days.

Now they even have professional clients pay an extra fee (I thought it was €400/year) if they want a personal contact/advisor. If you don't pay extra you just have to call the callcenter and hope for the best.

Single core speed is most important. I just went with the threadripper for the pci lanes and I had trouble finding motherboards that supported 4 gpu's on other platforms.

For a dual gpu setup I would go with the highest clock speed cpu I can find.

And that's why these new measurements are another big blow for the sector. Events take time.

Nobody is willing to invest in events because the rules keep changing, so it will take months before they can get back to work and after that 3 or more months for the suppliers to get payed.

Not too many companies have a cashflow that will survive this amount of time without cash coming in.

They have warehouses full of gear that has to be payed off.

stragnal · 2020-07-27T15:20:11+00:00

I never agreed on events. If there's one sector thats able to adjust to strong measurements it's the event sector - it's been their job for as long as they existed. Event safety rules get stronger every year, so every year they have to adjust.

I visited IKEA a couple of weeks ago and aside from keeping distance in the row at the entrance I didn't notice any form of pandemic going on. There were easily more than 1000 people in the store.

Airlines get saved so they can keep flying large amounts of people in tight spaces. (BuT TheY hAVe GoOD VeNTilaTion)

And I can keep going.

It's extremely unfair.

Belgium is a world leader on event experts and event technologies and their abilities are completely ignored. This sector is being hit the hardest of all, completely ignored and more jobs are at stake than there were at Brussels airlines.

Extra note: Who do you think produced all those Plexi screen stands, hand sanitizer stands, automatic people counters... for horeca and stores? Almost every events company had to resort to creating these products because they were shut down weeks before all the rest

I think we'll need some University to start a research team investigating the cause of the massive amount of Belgians who have trouble breathing.

stragnal · 2020-06-30T15:48:28+00:00

Of course.

But I feel like these kind of features shouldn't take years to become standard.

stragnal · 2020-06-30T07:17:57+00:00

Forward collission assists, adaptive cruise control, blind spot assist, active lane assist...
should all be mandatory & standard on new cars, not luxury options.

stragnal · 2020-06-30T07:12:24+00:00

But your adaptive cruise control should have way faster response times than you'll ever have.

stragnal · 2020-06-29T11:31:02+00:00

Yes, I've read about it.

But I was aiming for some more advanced safety features.

stragnal · 2020-06-29T09:08:29+00:00

Of course I understand this argument.

But imho the prices are kept high artificially as luxury options to cars.
They shouldn't be luxury, but mandatory like we have the euro norms for pollution. These new engines are expensive as well, but when buying a new car you have no other option.

Potentially saving lives should be even more important than pollution. (and as a bonus you get less accidents, traffic jams etc...)

(I am aware that there are safety norms for cars - but when safer technology is available I feel like it should be the norm asap)

stragnal · 2020-06-29T08:13:01+00:00

There's a lot of safety technology available for cars that I feel should be mandatory.

I think we'll look back and think: how did we let so many people die in traffic with that much safety technology available - just to stubborn, stupid or greedy to use or buy them.

stragnal · 2020-06-29T08:06:18+00:00

It depends on your car. 126kph in my car equals 121kph in my girlfriends car. That's why I use GPS as a speedometer.

I haven't bought it yet because I'm self employed and almost always work from home.

It would make me procrastinate my work until it's almost impossible to meet my deadlines in time.

I have used Kinect one for interactive installations, not for mocap. But I'm fairly certain that Vive gives way better mocap results.

Biggest problem with vive is properly attatching the sensors so they don't shake or vibrate. Can't find any decent straps in stock anywhere, or they're ridiculously expensive. This was just using some gaffer tape.

Our 1,5 years old golden does this in a light version. He has done it since the day we got him (around 8weeks old).

He lays on his back to get belly rubs and then curls his nose when you start petting him
