Volumetric video for sports is interesting because it offers VR users the option to ‘be there’, but the provider can also offer desktop/mobile users the option to control their own virtual camera. I can kinda see it taking off in a few years when more cheaper/lighter headsets with good passthrough arrive.
The main issue was plugins and external programs compatability. There are some really obscure plugins for advanced work in Indesign, like syncing with client spreadsheets for catalogue work, auto generating indexes/references, that kind of thing. Another problem with ID was working on a network with multiple users accessing the same file from different locations. With Photoshop it’s a similar story, we had a lot of actions and custom scripts that would’ve been a massive headache (or impossible) to port over manually. Personally I use a lot of scripts/actions using smart objects, auto selections etc for batch processing and the feature set in Affinity just isn’t (or at least wasn’t) up to it. These days I prefer Capture One over Lightroom for RAW processing but I still need to use LR when processing timelapse because the 3rd party plugins only exist for LR.
Yeah to be fair it’s been a few years since I looked and the list of issues that meant we couldn’t switch wasn’t too massive. Hopefully they get there!
Capture One has a free 30 day trial IIRC. It’s great for doing this kind of thing, if you put caps lock on you can hit keys 1-5 to rate and it will auto advance.
Affinity is the closest but still a ways off being a viable replacement for ID or PS. Source: worked in a design studio, every few years we would try Affinity in an attempt to de-Adobe our workflows but it’s just not comparable.
Sucks when you have kids with them and a shared friendship group.
I’ve been in the facilities where they make these. Had to wash my hands like 5 times at separate stations before being allowed on the floor.
If only Palmer Lucky had gone all in on teledildonics instead of whatever defence crap he’s peddling these days. We’d all be eating that sweet robot ass.
The Finance Director was fired for being a sex pest. This was after years of hiring policy that basically meant all PMs were his particular type (blonde, big boobs).
Project manager in the creative industries. One place I worked had this policy of moving receptionists into project management. Zero experience and zero training prior to starting.
Aviation maps for drone licenses theory exam. This was before they updated the legislation and you had to actually study aviation.
Other than that I’ve bought OS maps for hiking purposes. Also tried to buy some custom areas to create a custom map poster but it was basically impossible so I ended up building it myself from screenshots.
Bangkok, went with low expectations as everyone I’ve spoken to who had been said they didn’t enjoy it. We ended up extending our stay be cause there was so much to see, I could’ve happily spent a week wandering around the markets and exploring China town.
Saw a good few of those before I knew what they were and almost convinced myself it was aliens. Very cool to see.
We talking Indian hot lime pickle? I’m intrigued…
Best crepe I ever had. I like to make them with gouda and hot honey. Goats cheese and normal honey also slaps.
The sky, clouds, atmospheric optics, stars, satellites. People should look up more.
Some absolute imbicile waved a child across straight into the path of a car outside a school just the other week. Thankfully only broken bones. A few months before that a resident on the same street drove straight into the back of my parked van. Their reasoning was that the windscreen was all fogged up. Drivers scare the shit out of me.
Playing Alien Isolation in VR. I couldn’t get past the medical bay level level due to actual fear of death by heart attack.
Looks awesome, I’ll keep an eye on that! If you haven’t heard of Cabbibo you should definitely check out his work. This one fits in this thread nicely: Blaarp
Pretty sure funding has been approved and it’s going to be back up and running again.
