The Xbox 360 keyboard attachment was underrated in its time. It had almost no impact on use for gameplay, but was a vast improvement to using the d-pad to navigate an on-screen keyboard when typing messages.

I still have mine, unfortunately basically nothing supports it at this point

I'm an artist who works on pre-production fast turnaround animations for films, and yeah that hits the nail on the head, knowing what NOT to do which elements not to focus on is a majority of the power that comes with experience. I'm fast because I know which corners can be cut best and how to illustrate what I need to

I used to use one called Milkshape3D, I even bought it. I vaguely remember there was some controversy about it after a certain version though, like it was doing something dodgy to your computer if it detected that it wasn't registered or something.

shahar2k · a year ago

Milkshape was such crap, i loved it haha. I learned modeling using it too, i think it had two tools extrude and merge vertices, so i had to learn some dumb topological tricks to do anything. Still by the time i moved to 3ds Max i did pretty well.

My favorite early learning app was wings 3d, really fantastic modeling flow and creates clean messages by default

I imagine something like a weaponized version of this, loitering semi autonomous drone swarms fully charged / ready to deploy hanging off wires... a bit like the US spider munition or just smart landmines.

A truly competent mathematician with an exceptional sense of humor while presenting stuff! Never thought math could be fun during lectures, but I changed my mind now.

The experiment at around 2:21 is mind-blowing. We used to see these tricks played by some professionals on TV or during some events, but this is the first time I have seen one from a mathematical background.

it's funny, the thing that got me to understand calculus initially in class was seeing the graphs, somehow my brain immediatly "got" the difference between acceleration and movement and the shapes of those formulas... these days I think it might be a type of kinesthetic synesthesia! helps immensely since I work in animation and always had an easy time figuring out just the right math for procedural animation :)

omg nebula is incredible. i just subbed like 2 months ago and i feel like ive been guzzling from a firehouse.

shahar2k · 2 years ago

nebula really is the best of youtube! I've subscribed for a while but recently went for their lifetime subscription (I know it's not a "deal" I just want to support those creators')

a friend is actually a creator there! speaks very well about them

I think one of the most unexpected words in English to be named for a person is "guy"! From Guy Fawkes. The word went from meaning an effigy of Fawkes, to any doll, to a person.

I'm very surprised to see this so late in the thread

The Boys/Invincible are generally at the top of the Most Watched lists on Prime when they release new episodes.

shahar2k · 2 years ago

same here and there's a few non "shipping time" bonuses I remember hearing about and noting that I wanted to try... but then never did, I wonder if I should cut them off because I really dont mind just "acquiring" those shows otherwise if I want to watch them

I think the curl noise paper is from 2007: https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rbridson/docs/bridson-siggraph2007-cu...

I've used the basic idea from that paper to make a surprisingly decent program to create gas-giant planet textures: https://github.com/smcameron/gaseous-giganticus

shahar2k · 2 years ago

reminds me of this - https://www.taron.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4

it's a painting program where the paint can be moved around with a similar fluid simulation
