For very long documents Word can be very difficult to maintain. Anything that requires you first write in simple text and then compiles is preferred. I tried Skrivenr, but found it old, clunky, buggy and poorly designed. I was far more prod

As a university lecturer, I have interviewed many people… academics and admins. I have taught in many S E Asian universities and multi-lingualism is the norm, with English assumed to be the ‘Lingua franca’. Almost everyone I interview claim

Well I would avoid my father’s meathod if I were you. It did not work. I am now a teacher, and the task you describe got me thinking. It would be tempting to teach the association of letters with their related visual patterns of dash/d

Little mentioned is the fact that the three crumb brothers had two sisters. Neither of them agreed to take part in the movie, and very little is known about them.

My father, who was almost certainly autistic, would try to teach me morse code by whistling all his conversations with me. This would go on for days without spoken communication.

As a painter, most of the technical details are lost on me, though I get the gist. Looking at the results, it seems that the author defines a base color (green for the leaves) and moves up and down in brightness using what amounts to a mult

Prtty much echoing what you said, in this video Cecila McGough, who has schizophrenia, talks about how important it is that people don't do anything to confirm her hallucinations. https://youtu.be/7csXfSRXmZ0?si=GT6zn_S

Is this research not stating the obvious? As a painter I would differentiate background from foreground by decreasing its saturation, lightness and hue local contrast, softening edges, decreasing neighboring regional contrast and Lessing it

A very cool one-man project. My friend who runs a game production company generates meshes in Luma Genie and then makes the high Rez textures and normal maps in stableprojectorz.

One of my favorite movies is ‘Night of the Hunter’. It was critically crucified to the point where the director (Charles Laughton) never directed another movie. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this was a loss to humanity and cultu

Able Gance’s 7 hour epic Napoleon (1927) employed split screen projection, superimposition, location shooting, super-close up…. All unheard of at the time. But the advantage he had was that cinema was not yet ‘invented’. That would not happ

Top tips…. Using a digital brush on its own can be extremely limiting. Digital paint is inherently flat and lifeless. Textured brushes can help, but not much. I would recommend employing natural textures via blend modes. The best blend mode

In addition to teaching digital painting I also teach 3d. What you describe is completely correct and something I would emulate using Blenders BSDF shader. This would emulate real world materiality, but my point is that color is the lest of

I teach digital painting. You would be surprised how many students ask how to achieve ‘the color gold’. One of the qualifiers of physical paint (as opposed to digital paint) is, not surprisingly, its materiality. Explaining to young people
