Never heard of this man. Good last name I guess.

Haven’t heard of, will check out! Thanks.

It’s probably also good to link to a fork of the repo in question, in case the original disappears.

Fair enough, though I would argue that’s a very specific subtype of radar and anyone saying “radar” refers to the type that is used in 99.999% of the cases.

That’s just what the acronym means, it doesn’t describes the actual process. I don’t think there is a single RADAR that doesn’t have a transmitter. At that point it would just be a… radio.

Alas, RADAR relies on transmitting and then reading the reflected waves.

Quick rinse unless I forget what I used it for or one of the eggs cracked or something.

At least the circlejerking was brought here intact…

Yeah there was some boring fucking trend going around where people posted 10 year old memes. I had to block four or five communities to have a usable lemmy experience.

In some ways this whole thing feels like WoW classic. A lot of people trying to relive the internet of their youth, while not realizing things weren’t actually that great back then either. I can haz cheesburger? What the fuck were we thinking.

It’s a very anti-fun design decision. But then again, feats are an optional rule for some reason so it would be hard to have it a different way.

I don’t get why people complain about them removing shitty monetization. People have done nothing but complain about reddit gold and awards.

If you don’t think aesthetics is a valid argument I don’t know what to tell you. Just because you don’t care about it doesn’t mean other people don’t, or that it’s an invalid opinion.

No more true wireless headphones I guess. There ain’t no way those can be built with user-replaceable batteries.

You think it’s reasonable to refuse to pay employees what they are owed?

One vote might not matter much, but 4.6 million votes can swing elections. It’s really fucking weird how that country calls itself a democracy when it does this, allows rampant gerrymandering, have a very uneven vote weight depending on where you live, and, just as icing on the cake, allows slavery in some specific instances.

It’s one of the benefits of being a tiny fraction of a sliver of the size of reddit. It’s also something that would change if people actually migrate to lemmy.

It’s not going to be significantly different from making a movie in another 3d program. If you want to make a computer animated movie (or just vfx for a filmed movie) it’s a solid choice.

Be aware that you need several specialized expertises to make all the parts of a movie yourself. The donut tutorial covers the basics of modeling and shading, but most of the work required for a movie will probably be in animation.

I still use reddit as well as lemmy. There are lots of communities that haven’t migrated, and probably never will.

Oof. Some people are just sociopaths.

Well, I started doing the project because I wanted to try out an idea for animating something following a surface (like the pickup on the record), so I wanted a pronounced effect. I also feel like it gets a more “retro” and cozy feel to the scene - like someone has brought out that one beat-up record you play every Christmas. But in retrospect I should probably have toned it down a bit.

For anyone interested; I have a mesh with a single vertex with a shrinkwrap modifier set to project and the target set to the surface (the record), and then I parent an empty to that vertex, and another empty to that empty (to have an offset). I then simply use a track-to constraint on the thing I want to follow the surface.
