The idea is to pack your house entirely in boxes. That’s why I decided to set up my iPad Pro completely from scratch, similarly to the “Packing Party” concept described by The Minimalists. ![]() This new version of iOS brings lots of new iPad-specific features and changes, so my habits will be different anyway… Especially that with this new iPad I chose to install the pre-release version of iOS11. Wouldn’t it be great to take this time and once a year review all my apps, workflows, processes and habits? Now it’s July 2017 and I’m setting up a 10.5” iPad Pro. With iPads I was busier as I tested all of the available iPad Pros: last time I set up my 9.7” iPad Pro was September 2016 and my 12.9” iPad Pro in November 2015. Last time I set up my iPhone 7 Plus, was November 2016. It’s not like I’m changing my iPhone and iPad every month. Old habits and old crap - shouldn’t a new machine be a motivation to start again? To review my old habits? To decide which apps I really need and which I keep there just in case? It restores everything from my old device, including the crap that I kept there and wasn’t ever going to use anymore… basically, it comes with my apps, settings, data… and crap. You see, this two step process is a quick win, but comes with major drawback: I can almost instantly continue working the same way I used to. The result is that after a short while my new device has the same apps, settings and data as my old one had. I boot up the new device and restore it from the old backup.I backup the old device and shut it down.Whenever I set up a new device - iPhone, iPad or a Mac - to maximize my productivity and reduce the pain of not having everything set up correctly, I do two things: ![]() ![]() The Angeles National Forest is one of SoCal’s biggest areas of open nature with over 70,000 acres and over 200 hiking trails. One of the beautiful parts about Los Angeles is that there are a variety of landscapes within a short distance – from the beach, to the desert, to the mountains…Angelinos are truly lucky. Many would say that one of the best ways to enjoy a good high is through connecting with nature. Weekend Daytime Fri, 4pm – 6pm & Sat-Sun – 12pm – 6pm: Weekend After Dark Fri, Sat & Sun – 6pm – 10pm: The whole Wisdoem LA experience is a trip even if you’re not stoned….Of course taking even just one hit of an indica dominant preroll like Pink Panther before hand is sure to transcend an already mind blowing experience. Just be sure to check their online calendar and note that these events have separate ticket prices. In addition to the regular happenings, Wisdome LA is also proud to host special events that vary from dance parties with live underground DJs, to sound healing journeys, and other intriguing events.

After reviewing dozens of places, here are the top 10 best things to do while high in Los Angeles County. ![]() So we put together a list of some of the less common activities to do in LA that are of course fun without the help of weed, but are even more enjoyable after a few puffs of a Los Angeles Palm Trees Premium Preroll. Chances are though, if you live in LA you probably already marked most of those off your checklist. Checking out the Griffith Observatory, going on a Universal Studios tour, taking a dip at Venice Beach, riding the Ferris wheel at Santa Monica Pier, and peddling a swan boat across Echo Park lake are all great things to do at least once. ![]() There are a myriad of hip spots, fun activities, and thrilling adventures that await you in Los Angeles, many of which you have probably already done or at least heard of. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tip: You can open VS Code in a sub-directory of a Git repository. You can checkout any branch in your repository by clicking that status indicator and selecting the Git reference from the list. You can also find indicators of the status of your repository in the bottom-left corner of VS Code: the current branch, dirty indicators, and the number of incoming and outgoing commits of the current branch. Note that for unstaged changes, the editor on the right still lets you edit the file: feel free to use it! Selecting the icon will show you the details of your current repository changes: CHANGES, STAGED CHANGES and MERGE CHANGES.Ĭlicking each item will show you in detail the textual changes within each file. ![]() The Source Control icon in the Activity Bar on the left will always indicate an overview of how many changes you currently have in your repository. VS Code will use your machine's Git installation (at least version 2.0.0), so you need to install Git first before you get these features. The VS Code documentation assumes you are already familiar with Git. Just getting started with Git? The git-scm website is a good place to start, with a popular online book, Getting Started videos and cheat sheets. Many other source control providers are available through extensions on the VS Code Marketplace. Visual Studio Code has integrated source control management (SCM) and includes Git support out-of-the-box. Configure IntelliSense for cross-compiling. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As I had carefully UVed these buildings by splitting the wood/stone into different distinct UV shells, I could focus on one material at a time. I started by focusing on finishing the wood and then stone aspects of each building. I decided to use Mari’s powerful node graph system as a basis for this template I was creating for the building as it would be easier to transfer it between different Mari projects. With references collected from the Internet to images from the set of Rivendell (by Weta Workshop), I started to carefully color code the tiles in an arrangement that would later enable me to utilize the colored vertices and bake them in Substance Designer Bake Mesh tool to create a Color ID Map that I could later use in Mari with the help of Color to Mask node. The roof tiles in the concept art had a unique pattern to them which was quite visible and added a lot to the characteristic of the building. With this template, I could then streamline the texturing workflow for the rest of the building with ease, from base color mask IDs to exporting the proper color space to assure uniformity.įor the first building, I had a challenge to overcome which was the roof tiles. I had to finish an entire building texture work to be able to set a template. Let us split the scene into 3 different categories: buildings, mountains, foliage.įor the buildings, I followed a simple yet structured workflow. I used Mudbox for my experiments with Displacement Maps, the reason behind my preference towards Mudbox over ZBrush is that I can easily use it in Linux (CentOS) and do not need to install a VM to launch ZBrush. The resulting geometry is then taken to ZBrush for a remesh process to clean up and give me a quad geometry that later I can subdivide in render time in case I am using any sculpted details based on a Displacement Map. This tool is based on a tutorial but with some modifications to give me the result I need, which is the layered rocks with all the different elements that I have in mind. After these steps, the tool then scatters the points with shapes (you can create shapes or leave it to the default, cubes with Mountain SOP applied to them) with different orientations, then a Boolean subtraction operation is applied between the cubes and the cliff and that gives the organic final shape like the one you see in the image below.Īnother tool I have created is the layeredRock generator. The tool then duplicates the curve to a pre-defined height, lofts it, and then extrudes the volume to a pre-defined depth. This journey led me to where I am today, I started at DNEG Montreal as a CG Build Supervisor in such shows as Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Infinite, and that marked my last hands-on show (at least for now) as I have transitioned into the Head of Build, where my responsibilities are about building a strong team that can tackle complicated asset work from modeling all the way to groom.ĬliffGenerator v01 allows me to draw a simple curve as a profile for the cliff. ![]() Then I worked at Method Studios Vancouver and Montreal as a Lead Groomer and later was promoted to Head of Groom where I worked on such shows as Aquaman, The Christmas Chronicles, Bloodshot, Men in Black: International, and the remake of The Witches. Later on, I had the opportunity to join the extremely talented team at ILM Vancouver as a Modeler (where I have done hard surface and organic modeling) and Groom for projects like Bumblebee, Aladdin, and Overlord. I then joined Scanline VFX in Vancouver as a Groomer/CFX artist where I worked on shows like Justice League, The Meg, and briefly on Black Panther. I also worked at Weta Digital as a Groomer/Modeler for such shows as Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Justice League, Alita: Battle Angel, and other shows. After that, I had the opportunity to work for DNEG London as a Generalist TD. I had the pleasure of working in feature animation in Barajoun, Dubai. I have done modeling, texture painting, look development, and some other things like lighting. My first professional step was at AROMA Design & Solutions in Giza, Egypt where I started my actual career as a generalist. I started my career as a freelancer in Egypt, I did some modeling and texture painting for TV commercials, TV animated series. I have had the pleasure of traveling around the globe, working for the biggest names in the industry. Fun fact, I studied Classics at the Ain Shams University in Cairo, a completely different field than what I chose to do for a living. My name is Fady, I am the Head of Build at DNEG Montreal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you have separate sound equipment, like a receiver or a soundbar, make sure it will fit within the weight limits listed.Īs with a lot of furniture, you can often choose between a more solid, heavy unit made of solid wood and a lighter, but often less sturdy MDF.

![]() ![]() On another occasion, I needed to roll forward my OS version to interface with some recent software updates. We fixed a few disk utility settings, and they were back up and running with their show computer. I was once in Boston and an hour before a show, the DJ’s computer crashed, and one of my bootable thumb drives saved the day. If you can, I recommend picking up a few USB thumb drives with decent read/write speeds, and then loading bootable versions of Mac OSX onto them as recovery drives. That being said, always carry a clear garbage bag with you! Whether you have to wear it as a poncho, pop it over your suitcase when running through a storm, or cover your laptop, a clear plastic bag will allow you to see your laptop screen even if all hell breaks loose. If you’re working on a crazy punk show with drinks flying all over, a silicone keyboard cover might save your life. And if it’s a laptop (MacBook Pro, PC, whatever) I definitely recommend some sort of case with protection. ![]() Computer Protection! - A bumper case and a clear garbage bag. The rest of the buttons should be self explanatory based on the image above, or you can read through the “User Notes” built into the template which explains all of this and more.ġ. To trigger to the next clip in the media or move up and down the media bin, redirect your eyes to the “BANK SELECT” 4 button arrow keys. Beneath that (Yellow) is a random clip trigger. They are also linked to your Audio Analysis Filter 3 and will flicker based on your computers mic peaking. The two buttons beneath that (Green) are page up / page down buttons for moving through your media bin. ![]() Top goes sets destination for Layer A, bottom for Layer B. To switch between Layer A and B, when selecting clips - use the first two buttons on the top right side of the grid under the label “SCENE LAUNCH” They will light up when they are selected. You can change this later to preference or disable it entirely.īoth layers use the same 40 RGB button grid to trigger clips. If it is all the way down, your screen output will be black. The first vertical slider on the right side of the controller labeled “MASTER” controls the master opacity. The Master output FX are turned on and off by the top 8 rotary knobs. Both video layer A and B flow to a Master output (Projector, TV, etc.) The cross fader blends between both layers and each layer has its own FX chain presets. This template is structured to be a 2-channel video mixer. Their website says they will release and update to fix this, but right now, you'll have to run another app. Not fully standalone (currently requires the Mine S software to be installed on your machine). (You'll have to develop stronger fingers) Only one type of medium resistance slider available, no low resistence option available for a cross-fader. MIDI Notes, CC, or OSC - all custom configurable.Ĭustom colors, and great range of dimmable LEDs Optional 5V DC power supply (for USB ports that can't handle the setup). Buy more buttons, configure to your hearts desire. Pros and Cons of the Mine S MIDI controller You could skip this step by mapping other aspects of VDMX directly, but from time to time, it’s helpful to map out control surfaces such as this, so you can have a visual representation of what settings your current controller is outputting. Mapping a custom UI is completely optional. Maybe you've built out a horizontal layout at your desk, but when you get to the show there's only enough space for your laptop and a vertical layout of your controller - well, just move the buttons around! Yes, you can build out your VDMX project, map the midi sliders, knobs, and buttons to your VDMX workspace, and then pop them out and move them around as desired without having to reconfigure the MIDI settings inside of VDMX. Oh, and it's modular! (had to say it again). The Special Waves Mine S controller is the most budget friendly if you're out there looking for an inexpensive controller, but it does pack a range of features, quality buttons and faders, and is compact enough to fit inside any bag. Build out a project the way you'd like it, so when a modular MIDI controller comes along, we had to try it. Normally when we write about a new controller, we offer up a template to get you started, but with the Special Waves Mine S controller series, we'll have to take a different approach.įor years now, users have chosen VDMX for it's modular workflow. ![]() ![]() Victor's true form of a dinosaur is a secret to all of the other characters.
