i recently got a circular polarizer to cut down on the reflectivity of some large scale graphite (pencil) drawings i needed to shoot... when i put the filter on my lens and dialed it around a bit, and it didnt seem to make any difference whatsoever, i had to question my sanity. is this User Error?? i asked myself. how can that be it doesnt work with reflections on metal – WHOOPS! thanks google, now i remember. so i shot the pieces off angle and that ended up being fine ...so now im going to come up with some fun (actual) uses for my new polarizing filter lol ?

very cool! i think youll love the look and flexibility of 5d3 raw love this shot~! great design, love the lighting change clearly. watch the 1080p version here https://vimeo.com/107738007 also, @Boygetslost, im pretty new to ml raw so i dont have much to offer – youve already discovered the difference in color from acr vs resolve, theres a certain kind of vibrancy that acr produces that i am yet to find in resolve and id like to match it... the shots still come out looking fantastic but id definitely like some more info on that. also im really familiar with acr from stills so thats super easy lol just updated to resolve 14 and it seems to be working much better on my mac~! cooool

omg i am SO glad i didnt post in this thread a few days ago ? @Boygetslost i really like your username and if youre half as arty as it is youll love 5d3 raw ? theres a wealth of information here so you can avoid the jungles of the ml forum lol P.S. its easy

whoa this goes a lot deeper than i thought ?

^^^ thats seriously a great video, shows that there actually are great quality well meaning people in our gov. i salute that man for coming forward

idk guys this looks like a serious competitor maybe no holo screen but herbs and spices tho #RED

ill hide the drone in my backpack lol

@tupp your points are delightfully cromulent

jcs, pal, i hate to disappoint you, but the military industrial complex hasnt made any technological progress since well before i was born, they just spend those black budget billions on partying *video contains swear words* this is real btw

@jcs the fastest manned aircraft is right here on wikipedia, its been around since 1964 and i doubt its record will ever be broken, technology hasnt changed much since then after all https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_airspeed_record

*munch munch much* uhm @jcs? the one guy said you dont kno what quantum mechanics is *munch munch*

omg jcs what in tha heck is all of that ?

i couldnt agree more that keyboard sucks if youd like a durable, backlit alternative, ive been rlly happy with my $79 https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Illuminated-Keyboard-Smartphones/dp/B0099SMFVQ arrow keys are too small, but besides that i love it!! had it for two years and i legit toss it around a lot key travel on the new mac stuff sucks ass. have you been in a small room with 5 people power typing on those keyboards? its horrible

was that meant to be funny? thanks a lot you moron anyway~!!! im learning all about zbrush and its really awesome~! i might be a lot better at this than i thought, it seems very intuitive, like sculpting with clay, and i can use my wacom tablet! ? i made something in sketchup recently that almost killed me ? sketchup is NOT what i would call intuitive, but at the end of the day it inspired me to think that maybe i could do even MORE with 3d programs...???? ? should i use zbush?? is it kewl?? pls let me kno addendum: im assuming that models made in zbrush can be used for vfx, a video game, 3d printed, or whatever... is that right?

i hear you, this is what im thinking might work best. giving a good 3d sculpt artist a mediocre 3d model and tons of great reference photos would prolly work out just fine (?) thanks for the info and links jcs, im checking them out rn~!!! i think i need a place in LA that does this, right? and id give that 3d file along with a bunch of great reference photos to a 3d sculpt artist – how does that sound? although my ultimate goal may be to make a giant sculpture – far beyond the scale of the current capabilities of 3d printing, as bunk explained – i like the idea of having a great 3d model to make editions of small ones, different sizes, out of anything, plastic, metal, chocolate (lol). in the future ill prolly be able to 3d print one that looks like a cut diamond or something ridiculous personally i think that ron mueck is a genius and i like his work very much. unlike jeff koons (ballon dog, above), ron actually makes his pieces himself his beautiful hyperrealistic sculptures tend to have an obvious surreal twist, which just for the record is not what im going for, im shooting for Friendly Doggee lol

thanks @bunk, thats so helpful~! what youre saying makes complete sense... i thought this might be the case. being that my ultimate desire is to make a HUGE statue (30' or something), I would actually be using a 3D printed model for reference for the sculptors who make it i just thought that if possible a 3D scan would be ideal because its true to life, if one could be created with enough detail id like this to be full color and realistic, like something out of a practical sfx shop. that being said, ill definitely hire people to make it lol im afraid thats highly subjective; case in point is the +/- $60 million balloon dog above

thanks @BTM_Pix~! yeah i checked out shapify, also this place that has a location in LA (im in SoCal) https://www.doob3d.com/ im wondering if the technology even exists to get a very high resolution 3D scan of an animate subject like that – like my dog might hold still for 1 second but hes sure as hell not going to hold still for 12 seconds. if the scanning process is done via tons of cameras, that shouldnt be an issue, but theres different ways to go about this apparently im willing to spend thousands of dollars on getting him scanned if thats what it takes, but i havent found a clear answer yet on whether what i want is even possible...

I want to create a 3D scan of my dog. (Yes, I'm 100% serious). Assuming I could get him to hold still indefinitely (lol), is there a 3D scanning process that will capture a man-sized dog at a super high resolution, enough to print a highly realistic statue at a 1:1 scale, or much bigger? The dogee in question looks like this btw, hes my lil angel ? It'll obviously be WAY better than this so please help. is what im seeking even possible? thank u ily ❤️

id be the first to say Just LOOK at the 1080p image though – its AMAZZiinnggg but its not: its TERRIBLE. i actually cannot believe how bad it is far beyond the discussion of 4k or not in this particular body, its $2k in 2017 and the HD looks like shit pathetic

man im a hot mess tonight i meant red helium. you KNOW!! these names are amazing whats next anyway, i challenge you to watch the video below on a 1080p screen in 4k or above res on youtube and tell me that youre used to seeing 1080 video with such clarity sorry about multiple ZG like posts

100% true ? with my rx10ii, i was actually doing both ???

interesting! would you mind if i asked why?

guys im sorry those x files screen caps are so terrible but my point remains i kno u get it
