3D Object Manipulation from a Single Photo

billpayer says...

Dude, you still didn't watch the indepth video. Please do a tiny bit of research before you post.

They explain the model is stock. They explain how the app helps distort the model to fit the plate. They explain how they app figures out the texture blind spots. They explain how it mirrors existing textures to fill the spot. They explain how is figures out the perspective of the plate. They explain how it then matches the lighting and shading of the original.

I'm a Comp Sci grad who spent a great deal of time doing 3D coding so yes, I've got some idea what is involved here.

Best case scenario here is you have to track down an existing 3-D model that matches the object you want to manipulate close enough to do well. You also need that model's texturing to match close enough to look good. They don't clearly show how you map that model to a portion of your 2d image, but if they have made that relatively simple it is the 'big deal' portion they are showing off because that is very hard, and most likely has some finicky bits to it.

Also, the first bit of finding a good matching 3-d model is the killer. Armed with a well matched 3-D model, something like Blender already let you do this relatively easily. Finding that model is the hard part and for anything living it's simply not going to exist in 90% of cases, so your gonna just not do it, or do what the movie guys are already doing and build your own model.

I'm not saying there's not good work here, but I am sceptical of the fact that the real nuts and bolts of what would make this a 'big deal'(the UI mapping) isn't being shown. Furthermore, the animated origami clinches my skepticism. Sorry, but 3-D animation of 'some object' in your 2d image has NOT been made easy or IMHO been changed at all by their product. 100% of the effort there is the 3-D animation of the object, which you still have to get somebody to do artistically, full stop.

Israel-Palestine: Russell Brand tears down Sean Hannity

Mammaltron says...

Comedians, corporate news anchors, it's actually irrelevant who presents the issues. What matters is whether you have a reasoned, considered and coherent argument to present.

Sometimes both sides can defend their positions, because the world is complicated and varying shades of grey.

Sometimes one side just shouts.

I thought what happened in someone's bedroom or elevator was their own business?

Not in this case, though, right?

The Super Bowl Ad Apple Hopes You Won't Remember

Oh yeah, I remember this live...we all said WTF was that?!?
Full disclosure, I had a mac 512k at the time...near top of the line! It had, like, 256 different shades of grey! AMAZING!

Tailgating is bad, okay!

AnimalsForCrackers says...

I don't see this video in terms of good or bad guys, more like multiple shades of idiot.

Tail-gating, vigilante justice as a result (though it's totally possible there was a legitimate reason for breaking that fast that we don't know of), and more tail-gating/inattention from behind.

Though my definition of tail-gating is more along the lines of not providing yourself sufficient space to break and avoid a split-second collision rather than "he can see my headlights so I'm good".

Sherlock Holmes Sucks at Deduction

Clown Panties

No problem. I've got a few jokes for you straight off the bat - what's brown and sticky? A stick. What's ET short for? He's only got little legs. Did you hear the one about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil. Doctor doctor, i feel like a pair of curtains. Pull yourself together! What's black and white and eats like a horse? A zebra. What's black and white, black and white, black and white? A penguin rolling down a hill.

Hell, Tim Vine does hundreds of one liners in half an hour and the majority of them are not at anyone's expense.

I think you've confused what you find funny with the term "humour" as it were. You may only find shadenfreude funny, and so you think all humour is shadenfreude, but it is patently obvious that things can be humourous without being at someone's expense and i find it almost petulant to be asked to prove it when it is so obvious. You almost certainly know loads of jokes like that. How does Bob Marley like his donuts? Wi' jam-in. I stood there, wondering why the frisbee was getting bigger and bigger..... and then it hit me. What did the fish say when he swam into the wall? Dam.

From what i remember of Lenny Henry's standup (like him or not) in the old days, he didn't often tell a joke at someone's expense. Tommy Cooper used to make people laugh by doing bad magic tricks. Les Dawson used to make people laugh by playing the piano badly as only a good pianist can. Terry Pratchett makes me laugh by conjuring up funny situations in a fictional world. I laughed at the Big Lebowski when he shaded the pad of paper to see what secret notes Jackie Treehorn was making and it turned out to be a doodle of a man holding his own cock. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. I bought some new viagra eye drops, cos they make me look hard. What do you call a man with a shovel on his head? Doug.

I could go on and on and on, but i don't get paid for this and i have other stuff to do, but i hope i've opened your eyes to whole new realms of comedy where people don't get hit in the face with stuff. Where are the Andes? At the end of your wristies. Why didn't the skeleton go to the party? He had no body to go with.

I'm so confused by your request for proof that i feel like someone's asked me "Air? What air? There's no air, i can't see any!"

I'm utterly dreading to read your reply if it says anything along the lines of "That ET joke is offensive to short people! That skeleton joke is offensive to people with eating disorders! The penguin joke is offensive to the penguin you pushed down the hill!" Please don't embarrass us both by doing that, we both know those jokes aren't offensive. (Or very funny, to be honest.)

Name it. Or try reading Stranger in a strange land for a better explanation of my point.
When analyzed thoroughly, all humor is at someone, or something's expense. I've never seen an exception...but I'm open to one if you have it!
EDIT: As I see it, all humor is schadenfreude (enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone (or something) else. )

Someone needs to explain this Far Side comic to me (Blog Entry by Sarzy)

cjones1130 says...

I know I'm posting to an old thread, but I created an account just to weigh in on this.

Part of the magic of The Far Side is each cartoon can be taken slightly different by each person b/c of how they perceive it or their own life experiences and still be funny. My take on this particular cartoon is the man owned a pet bird. If anyone has ever owned a parrot they've experienced shades/curtains/windows all destroyed (chewed up) by the bird. This man has had enough and decided to make a meal out of the creature.

American Jewish Dude Gets Queen's Guard To Crack

Poor guy turned a bout 8 shades of red in 3 seconds

Luckys' right, those fuzzy-hat goons have a that serious inoperable corn-cob obstruction condition. I hear they are all required to carry a recent naked picture of the Queen during her morning constitutions on their person at all times to meditate upon during breaks...

Sarah Silverman Hurt By Jonah Hill's Roast Jibes

dirkdeagler7 says...

I could understand wanting to express that it struck a nerve especially if asked about it. But it seems that if it is really something you didn't want to dissuade people from doing based on your principles, profession, or in the name of comedy...then why the talks about pop culture and women and hiding? Wouldn't you just say "yeah those were some zingers that stung, but that is comedy and I love comedy too much to hate on this form of it" and leave it at that?

Instead it seems like the follow up discussion is a way of saying "making fun of women's ages can be a sort of oppression and it's sad...I mean I'm not saying don't do it cause I would NEVER say that, I just think it's a shame pop culture does that." Which is essentially speaking out against it without having to actually make a stand against it?

btw I have nothing against SS and if these jokes weren't about another comedian I totally get it, but when it comes to comedians and comedy I've come to expect them to have an "all's fair and we should embrace that" kind of attitude about comedy...otherwise who gets to decide which shades of grey are allowed within the profession?

I've been here 30 years and in the good ole days, it would snow maybe every year and a half. Lately, it has snowed every year, sometimes twice or three times. What is scary is -- the MOUNTAINS still aren't getting much snow.

It isn't much snow, but I have a very steep driveway that is in the shade of 20 foot tall laurel hedges. If I don't shovel it off, I won't be able to drive out of my garage for a week or so. So the thinnest sheet is shovel worthy at my house.

We're in trouble, this world. I think our species will survive, because we are very adaptable. But it is going to be ugly ugly ugly.

We as a civilization always looked to Nero, fiddling as Rome burned, as the ultimate in self-absorption and mental illness. Now we have a planet full of Neros.

It is bad. And getting worse.

radx said:

About time, isn't it? Is it just a thin sheet or are we talking shovel-worthy amounts?

Weather is completely bonkers this winter. Southern England is drowning, Germany has 12°C (53°F), Austria/northern Italy has 2m of snow, central/southern Italy is drowning.
