@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush Sure! thanks for asking!! I've been thinking about this for a bit. This breakdown is just off the top of my head, some of these gripes may have already been addressed. Also, I've been out of the VRArt game for a bit, so I haven't tried newer #AnimVR, @masterpieceVR, etc...
@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush @masterpieceVR Firstly, GS is one of my go-tos, and I <3 <3 <3 the new SubD tools! I look at the stuff coming out of @mediamolecule's #DreamsPS4 and get super hyped. Once they get VR support added, that'll be amazing! I'd love to see a PC/Mac port of that some day!
@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush @masterpieceVR @mediamolecule I look forward to like a ... VR Mode for #Blender3D
@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush @masterpieceVR @mediamolecule Gravity Sketch:
+ great for hard-surface modeling
+ great for Nurbs-y type complex manifold modeling
+ exported models require little to no cleanup before rendering
- limited layers / groups
- no soft-body sculpting ability
- no texture painting
- no erasing subparts of objects
@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush @masterpieceVR @mediamolecule @OculusMedium:
+ great for "soft-body" / organic sculpting thanks to their voxel engine
- hard surface modeling is possible, but it's no where near as polished as Gravity Sketch (downside of their voxel based approach)
- no per-layer/per-material opacity?!?
@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush @masterpieceVR @mediamolecule Quill
+ great for a psudeo 2D/3D story book illustrative style
+ by far the leader in Animation at this point!!!
+ great for fractal zoom / infinity zoom style
- requires some advanced knowledge to know how to simulate light/shadow/reflections, etc. but... it's possible.
@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush @masterpieceVR @mediamolecule @TiltBrush
+ great for "sketching" and prototyping
+ works smooth even on low-end computers
- hard to achieve a "polished" finished result. anything exported to a rendering package would require some ReTopo unless you want your piece to "look" like a tiltbrush piece
@GravitySketch @OculusMedium @tiltbrush @masterpieceVR @mediamolecule Google Blocks
-----
Pros:
+ great for pixel-art style
Cons:
- that's pretty much it

it's funny. no matter how many programming projects I work on, when I get into refactoring and things break (from namespace changes, etc) i always feel awful until everything is in working order again. like ashamed...
i know there are tools to help with this phase. and i know if i were more diligent about writing tests, they’d catch things every step of the way

but sometimes when i’m working on an mvp, i forget about those things. so like, it’s a mess of my own making
and i could go through my commit history, and do diffs to identify breaking changes

but i always wind up doing this loop of like: test. fix error. test. fix error. and it’s probably more time consuming and inefficient than it needs to be

This just reoccured to me for the nth time, but I really wish browsers would just pass along the layout engines own cached values with Scroll/Resize events, like: scrollPosition[x,y], document[w,h], window[w,h] /cc @ietf @w3c @csswg @webkit @mozilla @MicrosoftEdge
...heck, even just a delta[x,y] would be an improvement.

it would make things like parallaxers & scroll position based triggers so much smoother (like at least 2x instantly), since we wouldn't be causing thrashing when we attempt to re-measure these values every 16ms (or sooner)
ultimately, I'd love to see a mechanism for subscribing to high-frequency property value updates. so that we don't need to request measurements for certain element properties in tight loops. but rather, could just receive them in a callback

Oh Hey, Gravis Is Here!
@gravislizard
thinking about how the cover of coolio gangster's paradise is definitely a manipulated photo of an impact label, a type of art "prompt" that, off the top of my head, is almost totally extinct
the impact printer doesn't intend to create a complex shape when illuminated at an oblique angle, it just can't help it. the technology is intrinsically imprecise. even if it were more precise, it would still be creating reams of visual information at macro scale
tons of methods we had for making images - often quickly - were imperfect. typewriters, xerox, mimeograph, dot matrix printers. those have been replaced with flawless laserjets and flawless inkjets for most applications.

Thanks for asking, @NPRinskeep. A competent administration would have set up a package of things it wants - INF, Ukraine, espionage, etc., and coupled it to: "Here are all the things we have planned to counter you. Some stuff you don't even know about. But you won't like it." /1
@NPRinskeep They'd add: "We're here with NATO, speaking as one, because we did our homework. We've got the receipts on your mischief. So here's how it's going to go: We want to stay engaged and partner with you. But that's too hard now, so here's do-able stuff you can do right now." /2
@NPRinskeep Then add: "We will not let you pick us off on one issue at a time. The issue here is *your sustained attack on the international status quo*, and that's going to stop now, or we will take measures you will not enjoy, like, say, in Ukraine." (Which no one is talking about now.) /3

A small story:

I don’t like goodbyes, which makes sense because I’m terrible at them.

As an introvert, by the time an event is over, I’m pretty much worn out, socially.

Hell, I’m such an introvert that I was worn out going into this event.
All I want to do is wait until you’re looking away, quietly fling myself under the nearest table and deftly roll to the door but it has been impressed upon me that this is “strange” and “antisocial” and “you’re covered in lint, Quinn, stop rolling around on the floor.”
In my world, leave-taking would a mumbled “bye,” but for everyone else, it’s an event with separate acts. First, there is the event recap:

“Did you have a good time?”

“I did! I had such a good time! Did you have a good time?”

“I most certainly did! Let’s watch the slo-mo!”

Sure, thanks for asking.

Ask what solutions women want to see; work toward those resolutions.

Approach misogynistic behavior with empathy first, but cut ties with stubborn misogynists and tell them why.

If you see or hear harassment, state with clarity that it’s unacceptable.
Amplify female voices.

Teach others that sexual attraction and objectification are not the same thing. Don’t tolerate the latter.

Resist the urge to take a protective role - be a partner. Support and backup creates the same safety without silencing.

Don’t get defensive.
Use your privilege to step in where others stomp out. Speak up for women whose ideas are talked over or ignored.

Elevate qualified women by vouching on their behalf.

Vote for qualified women.

Push back against legislation that controls women.

Push for the ERA.
