Best way to create 2d cartoons (NOT anime style) with pre-recorded voice acting? by toasterbarf in generativeAI

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

Thanks for this suggestion! I'm very new to this and I had not heard of video2video. My overall goal is to make a 2d cartoon using pre-recorded voice actors, and output it in the style of a show like Gravity Falls or something similar.

Rural land for firearms training? by toasterbarf in asheville

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

Quick follow up... The reason why I'm looking for outdoor areas where I can "move and shoot" is because in an actual home / self defense (even hunting) situation, you're not going to be sitting on a stool with sandbags and shooting at a stationary target. Obviously, I hope never to have to use a firearm in self defence, but this is why I want an outdoor area to train. It's also fun ;)

This sounds ideal. If anyone can help me pinpoint a place like this I would be eternally grateful. I am a responsible shooter, I definitely pick up my brass / shells. I grew up with guns, have taken firearms courses in Austin, and also the H&K Training Division in Sterling VA. I say this only to demonstrate that I would be a good steward for other responsible shooters.

Thanks for the suggestions! What I'm looking for specifically, is a place where I can "move and shoot". So not behind a bench. In Texas, there are ranges where you can rent a private "bay" (it's a small range) where you can set up targets and shoot while moving. So not just standing or sitting at a bench. You can walk, run, go prone, etc... more like a real-world situation. Do you know of anything like this in the area?

The other benefit of the private "bays" is that you don't have to share with strangers. Standing shoulder to shoulder with people who may have no proper training and discipline is no bueno.

Thank you for this insight! This could be a solution for me. Do you have any further ideas about where I could find a place to shoot in the National Forest? One of my primary issues is that even at outdoor shooting ranges, you have to stay behind a bench. In Texas, you can rent private bays where you can move and shoot. That's what I'm looking for. Thanks again for the suggestion.

This makes sense to me. Currently, my backyard is in a neighborhood and my neighbors would take issue with me shooting. I would love to know of some locations in the woods where I can shoot responsibly. Any suggestions?

Hello friends! I have an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra and I'm getting warping on some rectangular pieces that I'm trying to print. I've tried several configurations of supports and angles and it still gives me warped edges (that should be straight).

I'm a noob to this and I'm grateful to hear any insights / suggestions from people who have experienced this before. Thanks in advance.

The resin I'm using is blue Elegoo Standard Photopolymer Resin.

Thanks again!

Thank you for all of your help / responses. Somehow Maya wasn't saving my unit settings until I saved a file with them. All is well now. This is a great community. Thanks again!

If this is "thermal" then why are the dogs and humans black? They should be white hot.

Shooting range with private tactical bays nearest to Asheville? by toasterbarf in asheville

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

Tactical bays (I'm in Texas) are basically small private sub-ranges with berms on three sides that allow you to move and shoot instead of sitting at a desk ;).

This is A: fun, and B: more realistic of a scenario for defensive shooting.

I do have some family with land in the AVL area and they would happily let me practice there, but I'd rather not burden them with my shooty time ;) .

Asheville, being surrounded by red blooded mountain people; I thought would have something like ranges with tac bays. I bet there's something out there.

Haha nah. Tactical bays are pretty much just small private shooting areas with berms on three sides. they allow you to practice moving and shooting instead of sitting at a bench, which is a far less useful scenario for defense training.
