Steve, thanks again! And that's spot on.for I hoped existed but are heartened that it'll be any month or year. that's reely cool. Love reading about the cross section of Ai and 3D work for that! Do they even bother with projection maps and UV mapping? Just from what i've read that's a GD nightmare

Gil, in response to your desire to generate 3D from 2D I've been watching the "novel view synthesis" space using NeRF ( https://www.matthewtancik.com/NERF) over the last 2 years or so. It was close but not exactly what you were asking for. now here's a diffusion approach to generate 3D from 2D.

You're predilections to the CSA and micro-lending are good. But, like you, I haven't pulled the trigger on much of that. I am a member of 2 credit unions and am a member of Co-Ops for books, beer, and (until they shut down) accounting. This site has a lot of good ideas, many of which you're

The paper check isn't the important thing anymore. It's the numbers and the security features (Microprint, SecurityWeave, etc.). All the exchange happens between the institutions. Even signatures don't really matter anymore. So what matters about the security between you and the bank is more

Mmm BofA for good or ill isdropping brick and mortar banks entirely. You can't even do much without finger print id. On me and my rides sides of things going to any bank, even BofA isn't naturally within our paths (insert humours pun about traveling salesman and having to sale around...ok so

Well, I'd recommend against doing any banking on your phone, or doing anything important with it. But if you must, do it on an exclusive device that doesn't automatically send everything to Google or Apple, doesn't automatically connect to every coffee shop wifi, etc. Make sure the whole phone

Dope. It would be really cool to read/see the further adventures of Munchy Man and the politically-incorrect worlds he visits. Many years ago, I worked in a Deli at a coop where one of the cashiers was my friend. We coped by collaborating on a comic called "grisly customer death". It mostly

"3D enough"? My guess is you already know all this. But just in case ... I would have guessed it would be easy enough in Blender (e.g. https://youtu.be/AlPPYkZg9D4). But I suppose it depends on how much automation you expect. SketchUp and AutoDesk should do something more automatic. But
