can you change the direction of the shadow?

Yep! Just adjust the numbers, or make positive numbers negative (or the reverse) to change the direction.

Can I install .eps file format as a brush?
@MattBorchert
@MattBorchert 23 күн бұрын
It's my understanding that you can convert an .eps file into a brush, but I don't think that's a native format, so it probably won't work unless you actively convert it.

I think the control problem with generative AI is currently being underestimated. One aspect of digital art that is not often considered is that it remains a craft- by which I mean the artist interacts with his creation in a direct physical way. For example using a programme like Zbrush to digitally sculpt might not seem the same as literally shaping clay with your hands, but in fact in order to create a digital sculpture you still have to weild a stylus in a precise and very physical way in order to direct the software to make the precise shapes you want. The same is true of digital art programmes like Photoshop- the artist must engage in a physical way with the drawing tablet to make the marks on the screen that he wishes to see. Now compare and contrast this with using an AI Art programme. In this case the input device is not a drawing tablet or stylus, it is a text prompt. So there is no direct physical connection between the tool and the artist. So already the control of the Artist is compromised because that direct physical link between his intent and the outcome is gone. Furthermore while we tend to think of langauge as an almost magical means of expression, which it is- the reality is that language is not really very good at expressing visual things. There's a good reason why the photograph in your passport could not be replaced by a written description of your face- the former precisely captures your likeness but the latter would be at best a loose approximation. So in my view the ultimate limitation of AI Art is not technological but linguistic- or more precisely- the inability to define visual things in a precise way with words alone. Even in our computerised age creating art still remains an intuitve craft that requires an intimate physical connection between the creator and his creation. And while I see the AI Art community trying to deal with this issue by introducing techniques like Image to Image, inpainting ect, which do help a bit, these techniques cannot replicate the intimacy of being able to physically interact with one's creation. The answer I guess would be to develop AI Art programmes that do not use words but instead respond to direct physical inputs from the Artist, which would recreate the connection between the Artist and the Art. However this is problematic in it's own way because the entire point of AI is that it acts autonomously- so the more responsive you make it to the users inputs the less freedom it has to act on it's own. Also the more power you give the user, the more skill they will need to use that power, which again seems to undermine the main advantage of using AI, which is that it does not require a lot of skill to use. So there seems to be a basic tension here between the automony of the AI and the control of the user- the more control you seek to have, the less useful the AI will be. I see no way this inherent problem of control with AI can be resolved, no matter how powerful the technology itself might become.

Incredibly thoughtful reply, thank you! I have so many questions for what the future will look like. I think a lot of these initial pains will be solved, but I still think that true craft will always have a place, even if it becomes niche or obscure. Something I think I didn't talk about was artists training models using specifically only their art, to then generate and ultimately curate art that I think they could rightfully say was their own. Or, as is already happening quite a bit, developing programs to create generative art which is more human expression through code. I know I'm almost without question underestimating the long-term impacts, as that's just not something that humans are very good at estimating. Time will tell! Appreciate your thoughts.

I've been a subscriber since 2017, started off following design tutorials from many channels, and have sufficiently mastered it since; Though not gonna lie, I was somewhat a little disillusioned with the different direction the channel has taken since, but still subscribed because, why not? Some channels to check out are LEMMiNO, Nexpo, Barely Sociable, Chill Fuel, toldinstone, CHM Tech, TheScienceElf, and perhaps LGR. From those, my range of interests, are all over the place, from internet mysteries, to history and art, to technology. I also use KZbin differently than most, I get most of my daily uploads briefing from the subscription feed, rather than the algorithm, as I find it to be broken for me, even when I does rarely go to the home page, I like to stick with familiar topics so I flagged everything else as irrelevant and not interested. Probably due to my naturally-incompatible introvert personality, I personally don't find internet dramas and other people's take on things to be that entertaining so to demand my attention (which is why I stay off social media); I prefer content that are more high effort, and documentary about an obscure subject, rather than societal dramas, if that makes sense. If we talking design documentary, though, channels like Linus Boman, jerry woo hu, Matt Brunton, scratch the two side of my interest. Though the latter one changed direction recently.

Also nice to see Tested mentioned here, subscribed since 2016, but never watched the channel until recently, I don't live in the West, so I'm a bit unfamiliar with Mythbuster and Adam Savage personally, and the impact of the show limited compared to others, but I'm also a maker, yet another interest, probably why I subscribed in the first place, two videos I found really personally-referred to is "The Design of Police Badges in Film and TV" and "Adam Savage Gets His Own Prop FBI ID Badge!", as both videos pretty much summarized my graphic design methodology, the way I approach historical accuracy, through intensive research period, and building upon that by modernizing certain aspect of a design, which is a culmination of my interests in design, heraldry, vexillology, and art and history. The channel previously mentioned, Matt Brunton, is also a fellow heraldry enthusiast, though due to its association with sports.

Regarding as to why longer videos are able to be successful, despite the lower overall attention span of the regular viewer in recent years, I posit that although shorts made the platform ever more competitive in regards to gaining viewership, that competitiveness also drives a lot of people not liking shorts into longer contents even further. And I am an example of that, never watched a single short as I find it a waste of time, energy, for what is essentially nothing informational, or at least a condensed, shallow information, without all of the nuanced information you would find on a longer video, due to length constraint. I have the section hidden all together as well with an extension.

@MattBorchert 2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the incredible comments and suggestions Ryan! I'll definitely have to check some of them out. :) Shorts seem to be a great way to quickly communicate simple ideas, but I also prefer much more in-depth information. It is becoming a bit of a lost art to provide truly comprehensive information. Perhaps it's why I've been reading a lot more the last few years.

I started this channel in 2012 and haven't made videos in a few years. You can see one of my last videos before taking a multi year break had almost a million views. Just the nature of the beast when you take a long break, and dramatically change the direction of a channel. I just do this for fun, if I wanted to maximize views, I would never have pivoted the direction, and I would never have taken breaks. :)

Matt, you were upfront about Uplift sending you the desk. I only wish you had said whether (or how much) that may have influenced you. I guess it might be hard to be objective about that, but people are naturally going to wonder. Did the company give you any review guidelines/restrictions/instructions as a prerequisite for receiving that? I noticed you said to someone else that it wasn't a paid review, but, I mean, you got a _desk._ I'm open-minded, and I know it's still possible to be objective; just saying.
@MattBorchert
@MattBorchert 6 ай бұрын
I was as objective as I was able to be. These things will always influence someone's view, so it's just a matter of how much. Years later I'm still using the desk, and independently paid for a larger top. I've had no issues with it.
@MikeAnn193
@MikeAnn193 6 ай бұрын
@@MattBorchert That's fair, and you're correct, it's a matter of how _much_ you were influenced. That's what viewers don't know, and without it, we can't get a reasonable impression. As a consumer yourself, I'm sure you understand that. It's easy to believe you were as objective as you were _able_ to be, but I don't know what might be "disabling" you, so to speak, 😏whether a sense of obligation for the gift, or instructions/guidelines from the company. Having said that, I thought the review was well done, and believable. I have nothing against Uplift, and I'm strongly considering this desk. I'm just a careful consumer, and wary of a company's marketing practices, such as gifting review items. Frankly, I think the world would be far better off if its inhabitants were less credulous and more skeptical of unknown claims on all manner of topics, but I'll spare you. This isn't the place for that speech. Thank you.

@MattBorchert 6 ай бұрын
I could swear I responded to this, but I guess not! So I don't remember messing with the actual smooth tool settings much, but it does care a whole lot about how long your smooth path is when drawing it out. So try using it over shorter sections, or longer sections if that doesn't work. Usually smaller sections tended to work better for me, unless I was trying to smooth out really long curves.
