Added a spotlight and some fog. Looks like the movie I'm trying to copy (Cemetery Man), but what do you think?

I just bought a Small Rig RF10c flashlight. I put the spotlight gobo on it and a party fogger with its tube placed above the spotlight. I think it looks great but I'm always eager to hear criticism, I'm still learning about all this.

Reupload of my cemetery. You should see the dirt on the grass better now and added a side wall, allows for more photo angles.

PSA: Don't upload multiple images if you don't want first image to get compressed.

Check out the differences between my dio's grass and ground and this movie. What should I do to get my dio closer to them?

Should I remove some grass and put more dirt, or put the dirt over the existing grass? Or maybe some more green flock instead? Should I paint the grass or put a different color grass down with it? I used woodland scenic medium and light mostly but it's too yellow, is there another grass I should use?

Ignore adding more leaves, i will be making more at some point, those just take forever to make.

Another attempt w/ movie reference. Seems like the lighting is unnatural rather than realistic. How do you think they were able to get this lighting, minus the fog and candles?

I'm probably going to rework the grass so ignore how different the sets look and focus on the light they used. I think they used both blue tint and non-tinted light, or less so? Where did they place each light and what strength of light, hard or soft, etc, those are the things I'm considering. Hopefully they explained some of this in the making of the movie, gonna watch that next. From Cemetery Man (aka Dellamorte Dellamore)

Is my moonlight better now? Still not convinced blue gels is the way to go, but the amount and direction of light, and shadows look more correct.

How to make this look like a nighttime shot in horror movie but still properly light the zombies? The grass is too bright.

3d story-driven games that look like comic books instead of anime?

Most of the animated games I come across are anime style. I enjoy both watching anime and reading American comic books so I was wondering if there were 3d western styled animated games too, where the models look distinctly like comic book characters rather than anime. Aside from the usual DC and Marvel games that is. Doesn't have to be cel shaded, but needs the "comic look", like how you notice anime from a mile away, think of a comic book and that's the game world I want to experience.

USB c to 3.5 adapter broke after 3 months, please recommend something more reliable (not apple)?

I heard great things about the ddhifi tc35cm2 and saw lots of reviews on it. I was REALLY happy with it....and then out of nowhere it just started making lots of static, and now it's toast after 3 months. Literally after I bought mine someone left a review that theirs broke in 2 months! It was almost 50 bucks so I'm not happy.

Can you recommend something with a better track record that isn't Apple dongle either? The apple dongle specifically is made to cut the volume in half on my devices, so the ddhifi and any other non-apple brand was twice as loud. Either i could buy another non-apple adapter, for less money in case it breaks again and I will just keep buying it every few months.... or I can spend money on something nicer if it has a volume knob... as long as it doesn't break after 3 months, I can eat some of the cost.

Third idea, something with a female usb c connector so I can just replace a male and male short usb c cable if it breaks again. If it's the usb c part that broke and not the dac itself.

No budget.

Any advantage to running Rin with Saber instead of Gil?

I know most who want to get close to meta are going to run Saber+Gil but i'd rather have waifu in my team. Say RMC, Seiba, Rin and HuoHuo? Are people more interested to have Gil because they prefer only one main battle unit like a buster looper, or were people going to use Gil instead of RMC, and if so why not all 3 (Seiba, Rin, Gil) with HuoHuo? What about Seiba, Rin with other buffers like Robin or Sparkle?

On ears with detachable cable and best sound stage and imaging

Recently I went from stock ksc-75 to balanced kph40 and yaxi pads and my bass got better and audio louder but sound stage and imaging got worse. My last mmcx modded 75s broke, should i buy another pair and go balanced with them or would you recommend a different headphone for soundstage? Using for VR and ASMR audios, the kph40s sounded way better for music and movies, some games, but now the sound is more closed feeling.

No budget, i want as many options as possible.

I'm doing all the story, companion and TBC missions ..... What about adventure missions?

After Loufu, I went back and started doing the companion missions and TBC in order of their version release. I was going to avoid the adventure missions until I randomly encountered a few that were big quests with voice acting, mini games and some with cinematics. The stories even tie into companion missions, for instance the Belobog museum, if I had not done that before Lynx's companion mission, Pela's role would not have been as impactful. Same with Bailu's companion mission that has Sushang's adventure mission and managing the docks quest immediately after.

Then there are a hundred tedious adventure missions like five minute unvoiced MMO-esque kill quests. My question is how do I know which ones to start and which to avoid?

Note, I'm playing with JP voices so a lot of missions are voiced.

Do you use a spray gun and what would you recommend? The right headstone, I used airbrush+popsicle stick to emulate granite/stone, but you can get this effect without a stick with spray gun. The left are airbrush only and look too uniform.

You can see the two techniques I tried in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTIo086I_PA . In addition to texture painting, spray gun would make it easier to paint larger parts of dio, not easy to paint dio with airbrush or large paintbrush. My compressor goes up to 57 psi, can I still use with spray gun?

Is there a karaoke game or app with a linear progression for song difficulty?

I had lost my singing voice so I took about a year just practicing notes and trilling, not really any songs. What would be cool is if a game or app gave me an easy song to sing, and once I was able to finish that without problems, it would give me a slightly harder song to sing, All the way up to really hard stuff with high notes like 80s power ballads and metal which is what I plan to sing at karaoke (as I have before, hopefully even better than before).

I could come up with something myself but I feel like I work harder when I need to "level up" in a game, rather than holding myself to a practice schedule.

When you're almost finished but not sure if she's really coming back

u/TheInfamousMaze — 3 months ago

I feel like i've tried everything but I get these big fps drops in VR.

Running a Pimax 8kx at 6k res, 4090, 9850x3d and 32GB DD5-6000 on windows 10 pro, running through SteamVR. I've tried windows tweaks from different youtube vids and webpages and after all is said and done, I still am getting drops from 70s/80s to 20s/30s. Seems to be reproducible in 3 places, looking at center console, looking at empty play areas, and when Diana is walking around you it changes if you stay there long enough. Is it my hardware, my settings or the game itself and no way around it? Should I try some benchmarks to see if I get stable fps in other situations? This is a brand new build, only the 4090 is from 3 years ago.

Want to use Pimax Play instead of steamvr but can no longer use vive wands, so what do I use?

I have an 8kx and been using on steamvr until now. I got into tweaking newer games so i want to squeeze out every bit of performance and get rid of stutters. Pimax Play def runs smoother but now i try to use the vive wand, it reverts instantly to steamvr. Do i need to buy one of the crystal's controllers, do those even work with the 8kx, or can i use something else? Thanks.

Gonna buy all bequiet fans for new build. I heard that rifle bearing fans should be horizontal and fluid bearing fans should be vertical. Does this mean its best for a pure wing 2/3 to be my top exhaust and should not be used as intakes? Or can rifle be used vertically too? Easy enough to see silentwings 4 pro can be heatsink fan, but what about non pro sw3/4? All vertical? I see they have a static pressure design, Are they good enough for front airflow fans or would pure wings actually work better? Ty.

Note, i care about having a quiet all air build and one important thing is my case is a little cramped with 140mm double tower heatsink and a 4090 oc, want to make sure its cooled efficiently.
