@VinylVibeStudio Reporting from Costa Rica. I've had good results with this transparent flexible PVC Cement, it's the closest I've managed to find to HH-66. It does get just a bit brittle after some time (the oldest patch I have with it is 6 y/o, and this year need a minor rework).

@InflateThemAll Desktop about 95% of the time, the rest on ipad. I never use the my phone for web browsing (only for quick googles, but that's it).

Back in my day, it was called machine learning, and it didn't need to steal all of human work/resources to work

[Wetterschneider @Stretchedwiener]

It did. Absolutely developed a ML/AI program to discern frame to frame movement of animated characters and how the lighting/shading should follow along. "KLaS".

Developed in 2015. A full 7 years before Midjourney V1 dropped. 6 years before DALL-E dropped.

That software generated bezier curves to control the lighting/shading. Then the curves were reviewed and massaged frame by frame by artists.

It's important to distinguish the difference between that form of ML/AI and the exploitative abusive and harmful general AI generative software we're pushing back on right now. Machine Learning has been useful for decades. Nuance is key.

@RixShepherd I think that there has been some resentment for some time but few people voiced it publicly, but the recent harassment they've done to a community member may have been the last drop on the glass.

@Robodino80 Damn, that's almost Zenith prices for something half the size. And also yeah, the banners on their website are 100% slop and their text is plagued by em dashes

Anemone 3D model! When working on the model of my oc Azurite, I came across this face shape which really reminded me of Anemone, so I made her a shader for her. #wingsoffire

@tonneyas That MS Paint art 🩵

[Byte @ByteTheDragon]

@CinTheBat Damn, they're really doubling down on the harassment and playing the victim

[Byte @ByteTheDragon]

@DerakanNF Yup, pretty much

@UltimativeCraft Thanks! Seems like you've already have it dialed in most of the way already
