Try a community for questions. There’s even a few for " no stupid questions".

This is showerthoughts

They don’t even need to be male or live in the US or even work in film. Anyone with a job title that says “director” would qualify.

Wouldn’t it be more effective if they didn’t capture you at all? Just send the agent to woo you over and get your info first

You bet it will mean less work, what have we been yelling about for the past couple of years?

Thanks I don’t know if I hate this or the original more

I’m with you in that copyright isn’t the issue. Creative dignity sounds better. Your point n3 is a big one for me.

But also part of the problem is that the arts are in essence human expression; it’s personal and there is a sense of identity attached to every work of art even if it is anonymous. A person trying to emulate someone else’s style will still add its own mark to their work. Some might call them a copycat and others may not care and love it. And at the end of the day, it’s their choice. They’ve put effort learning a skill and the proof is in the artwork. That’s not the case with AI fucking around anymore. If you are original, you will get ripped off in no time. And if you aren’t, then your skills are now worthless anyway.

Try the unpopular opinions community my dude

I mean you can see some similarities, and for the general public this does the trick - most people wouldn’t notice. It is a good generic illustration though, just meh. Y’know. Plenty of that around. For me, the background really sucks, Ghibli backgrounds are so clean and atmospheric and this is obviously a knockoff a mile away. Which I’m glad for.

Join a tabletop gaming club or group. I mean the obvious choice would be to join a club in general, but sounds like your challenge is finding the reason to go out or what activity to do. My suggestion is, through games you can meet and interact with a lot of people and some of these groups are operating in clubs, so have a look and see what’s around your area. It could be anything from DnD to regular card games or any other board game you can think of.

This, you just need light hitting wet pavement in the wrong angle and you won’t see any road markings.

I’ve never heard of qt browsers, or servo/verso. I’ll give it a look, seems like I have a few rabbitholes to explore

Watermarking with strong contrast prevents ai from using the images in training? Since when?

I think this is not a showerthought. There are plenty of casual conversation communities where people will be happy to see this and give you their opinions. This community has a different purpose

Oh so this is their business model now, interesting.

Many big studios use linux (red hat or rocky, although I’m not sure what is the industry standard distro nowadays) for their 3d side of the pipeline, that would include all of that software and more. I think Zbrush is the only one that doesn’t have official Linux compatibility and the hardest one to run, but don’t quote me on that.

You are right in that finding good support for issues that pop up in Linux is hard, especially for the average joe that doesn’t have a team of specialized IT support. But when you make things work, the results are way more efficient.

Not a showerthought, this community could really improve its moderation. I volunteer if you’re short on mods

I’ve never experienced the brain freeze, but sometimes when eating too much of something too cold I do feel pain in my gums/ inside my teeth. Most of the times chewing ice isn’t a problem for me.

Maybe cause it’s just an opinion, not a showerthought

Being conventionally attractive refers to physical appearance, not personality or subculture
