It would be nice if we could slow time to like 50% and learn the button impure for kombos then gradually speed it up. At the moment learning kombos is like trying to play a piano piece right off the bat at full speed. Sure it might make the game too easy but the only character whose kombos I’ve gelled with so far have been kitanas. What do you guys think, good idea?
I think it needs to be said. Was listening to the Flank and Gunless made his point about how if your not grinding and serious about winning, willing to put in time, you’ll end up not near the top. To some degree, absolutely, but I want to at least try to make my point that making every rep + map count is a lot more important that putting in more ‘grinding’ hours than other top players.
I think it’s been a bit overblown recently how putting in insane hours is just simply going to make a player better. I think it mostly come down to quality of practice. If you practice for 4 hours every day, focusing 100% on improving certain aspects on your game, you are better off than someone on the sticks for 8 hours just playing, obviously focusing to some degree but not quite as focused and dialed in as you.
Another aspect that leads into this train of thought: players need healthy lifestyles to perform at peak levels. It’s honestly pretty easy to overlook how important a nice routine, healthy lifestyle can improve your physical + mental abilities when you’re young and have energy. I did it when I was young. You hear people stress ‘you have to get your 8 hours, eat breakfast, and take care of your body and mind’. Sure, I personally met that with ‘I can’t tell any difference when I sleep that long and eat healthy, so whatever man’. It seriously does make a difference, and that’s why top athletes (both physically and mentally) will eventually stress this.
I honestly cringe a little bit when you see pro players ‘grinding’ until 2am with scrims in the morning. It’s just not conducive to getting the peak performance out of yourself. I honestly am convinced fully accepting and adopting ideas like this are the next big evolution of CoD esports. The players who take care of their bodies, as well as maximize the practice the do put in, are going to start being the more consistent and producing players.
More traditional athletes have accepted this and adopted (Brady, LeBron being some of the biggest examples) the idea and it’s only a matter of time before esports like CoD do as well. I think players would benefit from adopting this earlier than their peers.
What do you think?
Hey there, I'm fairly new to VFX, but I'll be on set supervising a shoot where the client wants to include the company logo and have models interact with it.
In order to fast track compositing an animated version of the logo in post, I was going to introduce a square mockup of the logo, with tracking markers. This is probably a super basic question, but what are the best practices or things I should be aware of? Does color matter so long as it contrasts the backdrop/doesn't reflect on the model?
Appreciate your help! If this is a FAQ, or something someone has covered, shoot me a link.
I am a new attorney. I had a hearing and didn't properly get my evidence in. I basically just gave argument and couldn't get my documents in because I didn't have business records affidavits. It was a zoom hearing, but the other party showed up in Court, and I was so desperate that I called her to authenticate these docs. She played stupid and acted like she couldn't verify the contracts that the whole case was about. I was struggling to show her the whole docs because it was on zoom, and I didn't expect to put on a witness, and I further didn't expect her to act like she didn't recognize them. It was so bad that the judge threw me a bone and recessed the zoom hearing to demand one that is in person.
I have evidence that I need to put on, but I do not want to use a witness. Only a couple people can help me, and one is a party, and the others are out of state. Basically After my embarrassing showing, my confidence is a bit shaken as to whether I have this right.
I just want to confirm that if I have business records affidavits for all of my exhibits, then I can authenticate the exhibits and enter them into evidence. With these affidavits, can I just give argument for 10-15 minutes and reference my exhibits where necessary? I would do this by first offering my affidavits, then when I came to each exhibit I needed to discuss, offer that exhibit, and point to the affidavit as my authentication. I know this is very basic but I am a little shook and looking for guidance.
I’ve heard of some pros always go to practicing their swing and changes in slow motion. I’d like to start doing that, but how many of you here do this, and when you do how do you go about it (ie checkpoints, routine, etc)?
I'm a solo motion graphics designer who's starting to take on more character animation-intensive projects, and I'd love to add mocap to my workflow. However, from what I've read the motion capture options available to this market segment (Rokoko, maybe Xsense) still require lots of cleanup, to the point that I'm nervous about incorporating them into my pipeline.
I'm considering two compromises. First would be to just use mocap for face and arm/hand movement- from what I've read, a lot of the hassle comes from lower body mocap, so maybe I'd do that part manually. Just using mocap for finger animation feels like it'd save a ton of time.
Second option would be to just use mocap for pose-to-pose-- maybe come up with a script that takes a series of mocap snapshots and then animate between them manually.
Are there any other 'split the difference' options like this that I should consider? I'm coming at this from a solo design angle, so I have a lot of leeway in terms of workflow and visual aesthetic-- it can look stylized/cartoony as long as it's consistent.
Hi All,
I've set up an automation that turns lights off if no motion is detected in the kitchen, but sometimes I'll just be sitting/standing relatively still and the (Aqara) motion sensor won't realise.
The current automation I have is:
When No Motion Detected in Kitchen
Wait 180 seconds
If Motion Sensor is Detected
> Nothing
Otherwise
> Dim lights
Wait 60 seconds
If Motion Sensor is Not Detected
> Turn Lights Off
Otherwise
> Lights up to 100%
What I probably want is for the motion sensor to check every 10 or so seconds but can't quite figure out the best practice.
Do I put the whole thing in an 'If' statement and repeat it 60 times? I'm super confused!
