Word! Or any letters can be light streaks 😁#b3d

@agentsmart @AaronDodd @MegJobson1 First need to learn arse from elbow, then trough from snout. I guess

@AaronDodd @MegJobson1 Someone needs to show you where the cafeteria is and how best to utilise parliamentary expenses. Who knows when the next drought envoy will be needed.

Imagine having Barnaby as your mentor... #auspol

@MarcusHouse Maybe too many cyclones on the coast these days, maybe launch from Central Australia? 🤔😆

I hear Australia is a nice place to launch from. 😃

@GiganticCranium Sometimes even the Standees and posters give away too much 🤨

Other than the title, the filmmaker, lead actors & the genre of the film, I like knowing very little about what I’m about to experience. Too many trailers & reviews create expectations & have spoiled things for me. Call me a cold moviegoer

Hi. I have i bunch of normal maps i made during my past projects and since there is absolutely no point to keep them to myself, i putted them on gumroad. You can take it for free, if you want. Cheers! gum.co/kkbmn #b3d #conceptart #polycount #gamedev

@Un1cornHuntrSam And in a month or so the optimisations won't work any more because they've done some big fixes 🤣🤪🤨😒

Eevee render, 10 seconds per frame. Cycles took 30 minutes per frame. I've come to realize, if you wanna render with eevee, you need to plan ahead and make that decision quite early. This quick scene only took me 5 hours to make. #b3d

SINGULARITY, the painterly space adventure and newest open movie by Blender Studio is now released! Watch in on Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=l5OZu-… #b3d #OpenMovie #BlenderStudio #singularity

@VvorticVvertere @demystifysci Except that it's... Amazon 😓

@demystifysci Yeah... that's pretty usual for us. But, Amazon is a lifesaver for us downunder.... usually shipping is free or under $10.😅

For more than a century, physics has been telling us the universe is fundamentally weird. It has been telling us that particles don't exist until they're measured, that information travels faster than light through the spooky action-at-a-distance of entanglement, that the act of observation itself creates reality. What if none of this is true? What if the paradoxes of modern physics are not features of nature but artifacts of bad assumptions, mathematical conveniences that quietly replaced physical understanding somewhere along the way? ig you'll have to read Paradox Lost to find out

@RuiHuang_art TBH I thought that first angle was of an instrument cluster on the bridge😆Nice hyper space though

Render test, still not happy about the design

Send me little challenges like this one please. I want to try new things and share them with you if needed #b3d

@Chetuyachinago But there are multiple JWST class satellites that could be flown paired as interferometers? 🤔🤪

In a bid to intimidate Iran into accepting US terms and conditions for a ceasefire, Trump has just made a statement that completely breaks the laws of physics. He said: "I did a thing called Space Force, and they are watching that area. If somebody walked in, they can tell you his name, his address, and the number of his badge." This statement is meant to send a signal to the Iranian government that U.S. satellites are the "All Seeing Eye" of the Middle East. He is attempting to put them under maximum coercive pressure by suggesting the US government is watching their every movement like a judgmental ghost. While the U.S. does possess highly advanced surveillance technology, the claim that a satellite can identify a specific person's name, address, and badge number from orbit is physically impossible due to a fundamental principle in optics known as the "diffraction limit." It is called the Rayleigh Criterion. This equation dictates that to resolve smaller and smaller details, like a badge number, from a great distance like a space satellite, you must increase the size of your aperture, which is the diameter of the lens or mirror. For a US satellite to be able to read a badge number from space, it must be equipped with a mirror the size of a skyscraper. Such an instrument is currently impossible to launch, deploy, and stabilize in space. To see this, let us actually do the math. Let us assume you want to resolve a detail that is one centimeter wide, which is roughly the size of a character on a badge, from a standard Low Earth Orbit altitude of 400 kilometers. The formula for the Rayleigh Criterion is D = 1.22 * (λ / θ). D is the diameter of the lens we are looking for. θ(theta) represents the smallest angle between two objects that the telescope can still distinguish as separate entities. A smaller θ means the telescope can see finer details. A larger θ means the telescope produces a blurrier image. Since the telescope will eventually be mounted in space, for it to be able to read a badge number, we need θ to be as small as possible. To get the size of this angle, we divide the size of the text on the badge by the distance of the telescope from space: 0.01m divided by 400,000m equals 2.5x10^{-8}. λ(lambda) here is the wavelength of visible light, which is a known constant and equals 550 nanometers. Putting all of this in our formula D = 1.22 * (λ / θ) and doing the math, we find D = 26.8 meters. If you think this is a small value, permit me to remind you that the Hubble Space Telescope, the largest telescope we know today, has a mirror diameter of 2.4 meters. To read a badge, you would need a mirror more than 10 times larger than Hubble's. Building, launching, and maintaining a rigid, diffraction limited optical mirror 27 meters across is beyond the current engineering capabilities of mankind. In essence, no satellite currently in orbit, or currently possible to build, can read a badge number. Trump's claim is not only unlikely, it is a direct violation of the laws of optics.

@agentsmart @timritchie @Ron__Jon8s That gives them the feeling of thinking without any actual skepticism

@agentsmart @timritchie @Ron__Jon8s Appeal to conspiracy might say them... how do you fly around in a big jet? Maybe we could workshop some extra twists and turns but honestly they seem to be doing all the heavy lifting already 🤪 (employment histories)

Serious question, as the ON followers don't want to be swayed away, and they'll be enlivened by last night, how do we in the centre left and left engage in the debate while trying to unify the country?

@WayCharMar @DrPhiltill Forever and always in the LIZ...

@DrPhiltill Same Old Same Old. Without any physical evidence, an alien ashtray… Something! I will continue to be a doubter.

So far in everything I’ve seen online about the new UAP release there’s nothing categorically different than before. If there were real secrets held from the public, it should’ve been far more significant. This only affirms my belief that there is nothing to it.🤷‍♂️

@agraphafx That guy shouldn't be drinking on the set, he's obviously hammered 🤣

@agentsmart @stationmum101 Touche

@3pointedit @stationmum101 It's for herding sea cows.

Hey @stationmum101 is that a seahorse?

@vashikoo Ooh did The Matrix have a super hero landing pose before the super hero movies?

The original trailer for THE MATRIX (1999) and the theatrical film prints were much less green than the DVDs and the Blu-rays. Cinematographer Bill Pope: "The original timing was much more subtle." Here's a 35mm film scan of the first trailer⬇️

@IlyasseL_ Hmmm i wonder what it would be like with just a portal per face pointing at a volume? 🤔🤪

I tried making it in Blender Cycles. #b3d

I wonder what Gina is going to tell Barnaby to tell Pauline to say about gas. 🤔 #auspol

Scaniverse is technically our competitor. But they just shipped SPZ 4 😤 Faster encoding, tens of millions of Gaussians, configurable SH quality, extension-based metadata. Hard to ignore. Honestly? Good. The whole 3D Gaussian Splatting ecosystem wins when the format layer matures. Okay. Respect🤝 @NianticSpatial
