"doesn't understand the appeal of patina" feels like neat summation of American aesthetic sensibility

@dieworkwear @TN_in_CA Also got a 10/10 without much fuss. But for a few I zoomed in. I’d think @dieworkwear would nail the news broadcast one because the button point on that guys jacket looks wrong. Usually it’s weird background details or lack of/odd high frequency detail that are giveaways.

@cgpov I love these. We need to see more fluted glass in 3D renders.

[Jeremy Stuart @_JeremyStuart]

@AlexeyAdamitsky @cgpov Absolutely not render specific in any technical way. Just inspired to aesthetically address some perceived generic short comings seen in certain renders. Would you find a false color useful?

@KevinGarrison Thanks Kevin!

I’ve been playing around with making a custom GPT for all your post production color needs. It can answer questions on color science, help you code Resolve DCTLs, and even suggest ways to achieve a specific look if you upload a reference.

One of the most talented colorists I know built this amazing color science assistant GPT. @_JeremyStuart made it super easy to understand complex topics. Curious about color spaces (ACES) or why rendering is linear? Give it a spin! https://t.co/KJu7IvtXDX @AcademySwf @TheAcademy

[Jeremy Stuart @_JeremyStuart]

@Filmbot @cgpov @AcademySwf @TheAcademy Ya and I still need to do further refining. But please let me know any specific issues you find and I’ll try and improve the references and guard rails.

We shouldn't have spent the last 60 years teaching kids that they are entirely the result of random genetic errors. It's an existentially brutal idea that likely contributed to today's high rates of depression — and it's turning out to be false.

What I think will continue to prove out, is that the experiences organisms accumulate while contending with their environment, get logged as 'feature requests' or potentially beneficial alterations, for future generations to try.

This kind of adaptation at the genetic level would be congruent with the behaviors and strategies we see life carrying out at the organismal level — which is that all creatures as a primary activity sense and respond to their environment.

Why would nature waste all those experiences and not learn from them, resorting instead to random mutations and copying errors (most of which would be terrible) at the genetic level? Nature isn't wasteful; it tends to re-use everything.

The mechanisms that would indicate a more purposeful evolution have been apparent for decades now. But old ideas take time to die. For instance, the woman who discovered that genes contained transposable elements that could move around, was ignored in the 1950's... until getting the Nobel in 1983. Huge implications for neo-Darwinism, but I don't remember hearing the news. Did elementary school teachers get the update either?

Schools should never have been induced to teach such an unfounded and psycho-spiritually damaging idea to children as an entirely random evolution. There was never any hard evidence for it; it was just a supposition made up in the absence of hard evidence to the contrary (and maintained even in the presence of hard evidence to the contrary).

What we know, is that new discoveries in biology are happening constantly. Accordingly, such a nihilistic philosophy of life-as-random-chance should never have been so confidently taught.

It's a reminder to bolster one's memetic defenses against the myriad of ideas continually sneaking into our minds under the guise of "science"... even in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary.

Hopefully as evidence of the complex processes underpinning our evolution make their rounds, we can restore some of our own dignity and purpose as creatures sensing, responding, and learning about the world around us, with a genome that is, very likely, taking note.

@ryan_waas Great concept. I love the idea that the intimacy of voice is a counter to the harsh treatment easily dolled out from behind the shield of anonymity. Would love an invite.

[Jeremy Stuart @_JeremyStuart]

@culturaltutor A major factor in comparing the before-and-after, which has gone unmentioned, is the huge differences in how the photos represent the paintings. The colors and contrast in one photo can be dramatically different than another. Particularly if the before image is decades old.

[Jeremy Stuart @_JeremyStuart]

@restlesspix Same experience for me. I’ve heard from a number of folks who pre-render the matte once they get it right. I even talked to a baselight colorist who was using it and rendering mattes to use in baselight.

[Jeremy Stuart @_JeremyStuart]

@restlesspix That’s great to know. Appreciate you sharing you’ve tested it.

[Jeremy Stuart @_JeremyStuart]

@restlesspix Do we know the images haven’t been converted to sRGB? I’ve always wanted to know the answer to that.

[Jeremy Stuart @_JeremyStuart]

@restlesspix @joeydanna Yes, this. 1-1-1 is displayed wrong, but at least consistently wrong across color managed apps. Additionally baking in some flavor of gamma shift seems to be the only way to get there.
