Both images appear heavily compressed to the point of being useless for comparison. The parent is not doing a very good job of explaining what the problem is.

At lease the functionality is still there using haptic touch or whatever it’s called.

Seems like something that could be scripted to publish to a blog.

In Blender you can simply use smooth shading to achieve this effect. Flat shading simply shades each face while smooth shading interpolates between vertices. Try it on a cylinder and you will see the effect fall over on the sharp edge. That

I think it’s more to do with my ability to produce certain sounds that various swear words make easier. It’s not that I’ve any major hang up about swearing. The mental hang up is elsewhere, such as feeling anxious ordering food.

I usually workaround either by just pointing at the tray and say something like ‘I’ll have the pasta’ or ‘same again please’ if the person before me orders the same. If ordering off a menu I just stammer through it. Oddly enough I stammer m

I have a mild stammer. I struggle sometimes with certain sounds, I can never order lasagne without stammering. Oddly enough if I swear I can have the fucking lasagne whenever I want.

This could be very useful in photonics chips for ICT. Thermal management is a huge problem in this area.

I recently moved back into academia. An internal equipment funding call, and all of the University’s calls, required at least a 40% gender balance. As a new faculty member I had to scramble to find researchers in other departments with sim

About six years now. I remember initially using some official tutorials that weren’t great. These new ones are much better: https://cloud.blender.org/p/blender-inside-out/560414b7044a2... The various Andrew Price

I wouldn’t consider using Spotlight as a calculator a ‘trick’. It’s a very powerful way to write out complex expressions.

What type of stuff? I could record a video of a specific example for you.

Let me know if you need more info. 2.8 brings s lot of grease pencil and 2D curve changes that are very powerful. Happy blendering.

I learned blender out of a necessity to explain concepts to older executive humans (and blender is awesome!). During my undergrad we learned Matlab in year one and subsequent modules in core subjects like solid mechanics, fluid mechanics et

First you need to install pdf2svg for LaTeXit to export SVG. Now, once you’re in blender if you import SVG art it’ll typically come in at a very small scale and each object will be separate, but it’ll also be selected. I usually scale it up

I will once I have a few complete sections. I plan on putting them on GitHub so you can run them via Google Colab. The topic is introductory fluid mechanics BTW.

I’ve recently moved back into academia. Inspired by 3b1b and horrified by the awful state of the (PowerPoint) notes that were given to the students of the modules I now coordinate, I’ve taken to rewriting them using Jupyter and copious amou

Indeed, but when you’re looking at small variations in a gradient it’s a reasonable tool to use before you delve deeper.

I’ve no idea what nvidia use but you could do this pretty easily in Blender with the Freestyle NPR renderer and the built in import images as planes add on.

Is it really the same thing? The method you cite is a type of style transfer. Input sharp focused image and you get a blurrier version out with the required style. You’re removing information with a particular type of convolution. The nvidi

You can easily remap it between different colour maps if you assume that is is a standard hot map.

This type of visualisation appears pretty common in such papers so I think perhaps the authors believe that they now need to include them to get published, a cargo cult of sorts.
