Building a 3D world without any vegetation, but just steel and concrete and some fancy lights is so easy. You can get away with just textures and basic shapes. But to create a solarpunk film with lots of photorealistic vegatation and flowers and happy people bouncing around smiling at birds, eish, I hope my budget computer doesn&#39;t fry itself in the making of this film. I can&#39;t afford another one.<br/><br/>:-(( 2026-07-16T11:19:39Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsggjuxmpfa523yycgg0mqsythsxjdh0xwsuqrl86kqcc3vf7e2lhczyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv23cyxmt It&#39;s #SolarPunkSunday so here is a screenshot of a pedal + solar powered bus I&#39;m creating for my new short film. #WindShortFilm Still a work in progress and jist today I realized I have to create dozens of cars, because it is a future without capitalism and no factories, since everything is 3d printed in the backyard, no two cars can be alike.

Shame optional. <br/><br/>My novella is on pre-order, set in a #solarpunk world and about a grandma who has to coordinate the defense of her village after a coloniser invades.

I could have told these scientists this! When I was a child in boarding school, we would get bedbug infestations, and would use hot boiling water to get rid of them from mattresses. The other solution was to put the mattress or the infested furniture out in the hot sun. It&#39;s slower, and not foolproof, but prevents spread to other pieces of furniture and also eventually clears the furniture. 2026-03-14T07:45:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2hesyfm9xw2zwrhuujrcttpjv29va05uu4tutzctcz8gznl2cwgqzyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv25dvger In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9xqzthmruzsl38f5y9h0plew4t9j2r7v5d0nrs7cvq5fcg6f8jlqck75em'>nevent1q…75em</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ha! Yes, that makes a perfect title. So each tool sparks off a chapter that tells us about that chef, and then in the chapter about the dick guy, it turns out to be a horror where the heroine uses the spatula to fish out his guts.... (i think my mind is a bit too evil, maybe the heroine should be a detective-kind who investigates this kind of death)😀 2026-03-13T09:45:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs90rslptflj5p9jh5q38r6ze885xu5hfgn4nfhru8zgsxz6wqt3xczyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv2vq78v0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2ew0cq2gax3aer28rx5fjsyr5ww7xauqteafgnarx42j4kfgkxtcyfg9sl'>nevent1q…g9sl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This premise could make a cute novel, or a even a TV series 2026-03-13T08:24:12Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqszp0uw68q2u733th9x0q04z3965uurwqrjusnd9l9df9wuv6s2kfczyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv2gs9l47 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf2v63xhg68lwq250tz0tr2jp3gxh97kk6fyp50eh22ke45ddt2rgj83n2k'>nevent1q…3n2k</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>His early works were good, but at some point he became more concerned about the money. <br/><br/>This film was good.

Yet very necessary. Just spent almost two weeks on an article less than 3k words, which I easily output in one sitting if its fiction, yet I most likely won&#39;t get paid. The amount of time taken to cite other works to support your argument is just insane. You write &#34;the sky is blue&#34; and the editor goes &#34;we know, but can you make a citation to back up your claim?&#34; Ngrrr! 2026-03-12T10:48:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd4yl0wfc3kvjtzs20n8s76w0dnf7j9xhptzngj4gju3aqu6jzayczyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv22n2rkv &#34;The real test will be whether InterPositive&#39;s technology lives up to the hype when deployed across Netflix&#39;s massive content pipeline, and whether filmmakers embrace or resist the AI-assisted workflow. For now, Hollywood is watching to see if a $600 million gamble on AI editing tools was visionary or reckless.&#34;<br/><br/>Netflix Drops $600M on Ben Affleck&#39;s AI Filmmaking Startup | The Tech Buzz<br/><a href="https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/netflix-drops-600m-on-ben-affleck-s-ai-filmmaking-startup">https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/netflix-drops-600m-on-ben-affleck-s-ai-filmmaking-startup</a><br/>#ai #filmmaking 2026-03-12T04:50:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsddlskt2uh7guvpmx5n5q8hzn6dsrfun5kyr0fq9mrzcy5f4d9hnszyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv2hhcncg Been a while since I photographed a flower, and this captivated me the other night. <br/><br/>#Bloomscrolling #bloom<br/> <img src="https://mograph.social/system/media_attachments/files/116/206/580/764/832/247/original/eb4ecadf48edeb58.jpg"> <br/> 2026-03-10T19:44:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy93jhnxqgwrafcyhlfnnsmcavzwlk7w4vkwnclamtj7nstdyw8xszyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv23jkaad In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxdq8upkzxdqxeqjflxxuzkj2jwvfvlkeucphzpnqh2rx3tr70l9cxv5sla'>nevent1q…5sla</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>More like 50,000 years.

They use homemade stringed instruments, much like a violin (I think the technical name is tube fiddle), which in their culture is called endingidi. I wonder how they are, after all these years.<br/><a href="https://tv.dilstories.com/w/xxoPfYBDG2yGdAGudXNZeK">https://tv.dilstories.com/w/xxoPfYBDG2yGdAGudXNZeK</a><br/><br/>#folk #folkmusic #music #musician 2026-03-10T09:18:08Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8tnq3jfz08ratx6qqndnwj7nx22nvwprw2es23atdyx5k5ftw3vgzyp85tsu6pth0vxvv7hjvr3z7adp770wuum53vmskclcw4ml6canv2vrpzz6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdchtde7fe8xy75jy8p5gw9uxr5t9254q9596yg6v4euqtk34syjgmus86e'>nevent1q…s86e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I usually just don&#39;t bother with those sites.
