The maker hub is pretty cool! They have a 3D printer service, where for ~$0.40 per gram you can bring your STL file, and they will print it while you watch a movie at the Cinemas next door. I wish there were more places like this in Sydney.

To add to this, it might also be a good feature to output EDL files for video editors. https://www.rev.com/blog/how-to-import-an-edit-decision-list... This could help when you have for example multiple camera angles, t

To be fair, many of the newer cards don't have any reset issues, and work perfectly fine with pass thru. The new AMD graphics cards have drivers that ship as part of the Linux driver, and work perfectly fine. Better than Nvidia under a

The economics of using OS X for VFX work just doesn't add up. When the machines from Apple are easily double what a machine built by an integrator will cost. Add to that the hardware support has always been flaky (see: Nvidia/Appl

Yes, sorry, the quotes were meant to be air quotes. I agree that the purchase price seems a little silly. They don't really have too much IP except for the in house tools, and 3d model assets. I wonder how these assets will get license

Weta is much more than "just" a VFX company. That part is still going to stay with Peter Jackson. What is being bought here is the technology. Similar to any big VFX company, there is a lot of proprietary technology (renderers, mo

Wow. Weta works on some really big films, so it will be exciting to see the work that they have done become available in the asset store. In the PR they say: > [...] the asset library we’ll inherit [...], which includes urban and natural

Sure, it's a reason for the performance. But it's still not a reason for the performance to price comparison that I was making. Surely a CPU that is on an older, more tested node (albeit an Intel node, take that as you will) shoul

I mean this honestly, but what is the blue family that you are talking about. The first thing that springs to mind is Avatar, and Google isn't helping me out.

Renderman (Pixar/Disney's renderer) has only recently (~2017 iirc) started working with GPUs to do scene renders.

Still, the going price for a W-3245 is more than $2,000. That's just the CPU, no memory, motherboard or anything else. A 16" MacBook with 16GB of RAM is $2,499. The MacBook comes with a free display, input devices and a UPS :)

Yeah, but the amazing thing about software is that updates can arrive. It shouldn't matter if the APIs in use are deprecated, or a new API that is designed for the use case arrives in three weeks after the application was initially rel

One of the biggest failures of COVIDSafe in Australia was that it was so heavily bashed by everyone on it's initial release. Anyone who was anyone binned it as soon as it was released. With an app like COVIDSafe, where you require to h

I'm not sure if that's true. It's more likely that without MP3 players, Napster wouldn't exist.
