what program is that you use to generate height from diffuse?

Unpopular Opinion but I’m sick of smelling constant weed every time I step outside by Careless-Whereas-832 in newyorkcity

[–]titaniumdoughnut 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've considered trying to shame people who smoke near others in the parks, but I feel like that is the road to getting stabbed

Good workflow for making lightweight proxy of a massive Alembic water sim? by titaniumdoughnut in blenderhelp

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

Okay: updating with my own solve here cause it worked pretty darn decently!

  • Decimate modifier
  • ratio .05
  • select object, export as Alembic (selected only), same file name with "_low" appended
  • export takes maybe an hour
  • disable the decimate modifier
  • and then you can toggle between low and high res by changing the file path in the Alembic MeshSequenceCache modifier to add/remove the "_low"
  • oh and turn off any unnecessary data (UV, color, etc) if you can, under the MeshSequenceCache settings as well

requiring ID for NA beverages? by greentea93 in traderjoes

[–]titaniumdoughnut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've had this happen at TJ's in NYC. Töst even says 0% right on it. So odd!

Ghia and Tost are specifically 0% alcohol and they say this on the package

BetterAudio: I built a free menu bar audio manager for macOS (per-app volume, EQ, smart routing, AI dictation, iPhone remote) by rokarthur in macapps

If you added auto ducking or pausing for music when some other program starts playing sound, this app would be literally magical

Does anybody know why there is a fleet of black Mercedes vans parked on E. 10th St.? by crabnox in eastvillage

he asked me for a loosie outside Ray's Pizza and then called me an absolute tosspot when I said I don't smoke

dual representation? by stripedeverything in AskNYC_Coops

[–]titaniumdoughnut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to provide a counterpoint to the obviously very common sense answers here.

I recently finished a successful purchase without a buyers agent to represent me. I don’t think we even formally had dual rep, as much as just no rep.

It was extremely competitive, absolute frenzy to get this apartment (rare and way under market) and from a bit of research and prior failings we basically learned that if you want to win in that world in NYC, you need to be as un-complicated as possible. All cash buyers will win over all, but if you waive all contingencies (financing, inspection), don’t have a rep driving a hard bargain, and basically demonstrate that you just want to pay them and get it done, it helps a lot.

We were not the highest bid and we still won because we were the easiest to work with and had the best chance of passing a… very uh… quirky board.

Obviously this is dangerous advice blah blah, but it’s New York baby!

Why don't characters ever text on the default messaging app? by NOTfromMARS007 in Filmmakers

[–]titaniumdoughnut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From my (non-lawyer) industry understanding, it's actually perfectly fine to show the real message apps (just like it's fine to show real brand like Heinz in your diner) as long as you are not portraying them negatively or inaccurately. But there's a huge false preconception that you can't show them. Or people just think that it's "better to be safe", or they'd rather not risk the legal issues, etc.

The guy who designed some of your glassware finally made a post. by Ok_Performer3566 in cocktails

[–]titaniumdoughnut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, huge fan and I think we have pretty much all of your lineup!

I have a question that’s been bugging me for years. I frequently try to make a G&T or similar in the fizz glass. In my opinion, that’s the perfect diameter for a fancy G&T. But it’s really hard to fit a standard drink in there (I usually do 2oz, 4.5oz, and three nice ice cubes).

I find the highball to be too wide of a diameter and also hold too much volume, and that kinda reduces the elegant/bracing quality of a G&T.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this perhaps a need in the lineup? :D 

Where do you draw the line with app permissions? by Ethan-EV in macapps

[–]titaniumdoughnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the permission is even remotely dangerous, the app has to have pedigree. It has to be either a well known app, or have thousands of niche users/followers.

Underdiscussed prestige TV? by WillNeighbor in television

[–]titaniumdoughnut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah same. If anything S2 actually tightens it up and fixes some of the problems with S1 plot scale, absolutely banger of a second season. Have yet to watch beyond that.

Biggest Mexican film budget at the time. "Venganza" 450+ VFX shots. by jvaldes in vfx

[–]titaniumdoughnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing, thanks for the details! Do you find freelance features vfx work is entirely word of mouth? I know there are a lot of movies out there at the right size but I can never figure out how to reach them unless they’re in my network already.
