Solarian has plenty of cred around here, as do you. You both contribute a lot here. It is certainly hard to know what you think of a topic before you read it, so I don’t get your reply. S might have a lot going on in his life. Let’s give him a little slack.

Just because you read a topic doesn’t mean you need to reply. Lingster isn’t sitting there, behind you, with a shotgun going, “You opened it, now write something”. There are topics that I have stumbled into that I find weird, distasteful or borderline fetishist. Some people are into that, so who am I to start ripping them with posts. I just close the topic and never go back to it.

Its all part of a bigger problem of rudeness on the Internet. Because people aren’t themselves, they are operating under an anonymous screen name, they feel its alright to be rude, mean or just simply jerks.

And then there those who just ignore it and make excuses for it. Tell me, if you were in a group of people, out for drinks and wings, and someone popped up and started being rude to everyone, disrupting the get together because he thought the conversation was stupid, would you just sit there and make excuses for him? If not, why would you do it online?

What CptMatt said,

This isn’t the first time Solarian came into a thread a rudely stated his opinion, I remember going into Jana Linke Sippl thread and him posting “In my opinion she’s ugly.”

It’s like W-T-F who cares!? Those who are enjoying seeing pictures of a muscle woman don’t need it ruined by some troll who contributed nothing to the conversation but, “This is stupid and a waste of MY time.” No one asked you!

Or when Lingster had put in a feature in Amaz0ns and he comes in saying “This feature is an annoying piece of shit, take it off!” Lingster promptly replied, “It’s off, now go fuck yourself.”

Solarian is starting to act like those type of people who think that they are better than everyone else. That they have superior intellect, refined tastes, and just freaking know everything. They’re time is so precious that just reading a thread in a forum is an insult if it doesn’t reach THEIR personal standard.

I hate furry artwork and anything to do with furries, you don’t see me going into a thread saying, “This is absolutely disgusting, get it out of my sight!” I also hate pretty much all Star Wars related artwork, I’m sorry but I just don’t think Carrie Fisher was that hot. Yet, you don’t see me going into threads telling people to go get a life or that this was dumb.

I mean who honestly goes into a thread saying “Why are you guys still making morphs of female celebrities? Why don’t you move on.” Man, just because you’re lazy doesn’t mean everyone else has to be.

Anyway, I think the point is made. What I used to love about this community was that people could be civil and respectful to one another without bringing up topics that bring up anger. (Religion, politics, etc.) But then Solarian brings this holier than thou bull shit making it feel like it will be only a matter of time before everyone in the community starts acting the same way.

So please, stop it.

I think just the opposite, this is very groundbreaking stuff for the film and special effects industry. The ability to have a computer basically restructure a filmed element in 3D and throughout a scene is very impressive and will only get better with time.

I agree totally. I had no idea they could do this sort of motion capture without the actors having to wear specialised suits. It’ll be great when this technology makes its way into consumer-level software.

Play nice.

That’s all there is to say.

@ CptMatt & others
I fully agree with you about politeness on the net being desirable. I have not noticed, particularly, that Solarian has been showing a lot of attitude, and I admit that I am not here all that much any more. Without wishing to defend trollish behavior generally, Solarian has been a major contributor to this site through his manipulations. He hasn’t always been unpleasant or trollish, has he? Is it so unreasonable to counsel patience? My point was meant to be that we are all people (correct me if I’m wrong) and all have sh*t going on in our lives. If one of us vents occasionally (and this is how I saw it at the time) or even more than occasionally for that matter why do we need to jump down his throat? It isn’t much of a conversation if we just ignore it.
Even if you consider his post to cross into trollish territory, which I do, isn’t one of the cardinal rules of boards of this kind “don’t feed the trolls”? We’re a sort of community. One of the things those are good for is encouraging people to put up with each other for the common good. And there are mediators who can step in when they judge things out of hand.

Honestly, I can’t comment on the technical merits of this software. It sounds from reading as though this is a technology in process that doesn’t have a category killer like photoshop yet. I look forward to more interesting things to come from future refinements.

I am actually a radish that achieved sentience through a random burst of iPhone radiation during a meteor shower on a Thursday night of the autumnal equinox…
