This is such a step back to 2005 and those glassy Winamp skins. It looks absolutely terrible. I wonder how Apple users put up with that

I see thanks for your feedback. The read only file system never hindered you?

Intel render devices do use an Embree BVH, but I think that BVH is still built using the cpu? it’s possible that I am mistaken

I had my Intel card work pretty well in Blender 3D,except it couldn’t do BVH calculations in cycles, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to make it work, because the thing that is supposed to make it work breaks the render kernels for Blender.

BVH building is always done on CPU (unless that changed)

What did that change for you ? more stable ? peace of mind ?

I understand. What does it for me is the jaw. It seems like my jaw has no rest pose, and if I deliberately conscientise this fact, it becomes an annoyance. But my tongue is fine

What’s that about ? my tongue rests comfortably at the bottom of my mouth, as I assume most tongues do (in their respective mouths)

Thank you. That’s much clearer

I never got on Oink but spent some time on What and uploaded a couple albums there. Very difficult to keep ratio high

I think trademark law has a strange history in the US

Removed by mod

What does that mean ?

Fantastic. Thanks for the feedback.

How does the nvidia card fare on linux in general ? on a Wayland session ? I have a 4070Ti running Windows atm, I use Blender professionally and I know it runs the best on Linux because of compiler shenanigans I can’t be arsed to understand, but this is one reason I’d like to switch to Linux (…again!). I’m interested to know if you run multiple color-managed monitors by any chance

yay I want to install Fedora Plasma when I get a new drive, see if I can gradually switch (for real this time)… Plasma has a new pen tablet utility for Wayland, and since I use my tablet exclusively… when my Windows 10 is EOL I will switch for sure. Good to know it runs well for you

I don’t mind paying for software either. I own Affinity & Zbrush licenses. However I run the risk that in the future, these products may be sold to the highest bidder and development stalls (as it happened a couple years ago in the case of Zbrush) or interoperability suffers. When this happens, not only is your database of scenes and files obsolete, you also have to go through the process of learning a different program, and DCCs are… huge. Whole factories. It’s very hard to reinvest the time necessary to learn them inside out and be proficient again. It is also impossible to contribute to a non-open codebase. Proprietary programs are ticking bombs.

Nice. Hopefully that matures a bit more but yes the technologies are exciting

Agreed it’s very capable today

Yea yea. I’d love it, but it would still be a proprietary product you’d be tied into as a customer. I’d rather support Graphite when I can https://graphite.rs/ as well as Krita and Inkscape.

ok ok I’ll do it
