I want my MTV

These are two stills from the first track to air on MTV Europe. The 3D-rendered figures were quite novel and high-tech at the time. FWIW, I still enjoy their entire catalog.

We’ve got to install microwave ovens

They may be low-poly, but at least they’re high resolution now 🙂 Drawn using Affinity Designer on iPad.

Good dog!

In closing, I must admit to one thing that took me way too long to realise: that voice in the intro. That is Sting, basically singing new words over a variation of “Don’t stand so close to me”. If you too was unaware, I promise you will never not hear it from now on.

If you, like me, are trying to use a #Gorton family single-stroke typeface with a #Glowforge laser cutter (or a #CNC machine or a #Cricut or whatever), and you'd like an easy way to do type layout while keeping everything in the single-stroke vector space, it turns out there is a solution for that (!!): https://msurguy.github.io/cnc-text-tool/

If all of the above is gibberish but you're curious, basically, here's the thing:

- most vector drawing tools (I use #AffinityDesigner) will happily open & use TrueType or OpenType fonts, but their model of a "font" is typically "a closed outline stroke with a fill"
- things like laser cutters and CNC machines love paths/strokes, but they don't grok "fill" (or, in the case of modern laser cutters, they do, but it's finicky and you have to do a lot of trial-and-error tweaking to get the stroke & the fill working together so that the type renders like you want it to)
- there are quite a few sources for single-path SVGs of classic engraving fonts (including Fedi's favorite, #Gorton) but if you want to actually lay out words instead of single characters . . . lotta manual work
- the web application I linked above solves **this specific problem** by letting you do text layout, and then it outputs a single SVG that you can import into your CNC software or into your vector drawing software for integration into your designs

This is my city. Sergels Torg is generally considered THE centre of Stockholm.

To the left, one of the the entrances to the subway, station T-Centralen. The exit leads out to the plaza with it’s iconic triangle pattern. The tallest building is one of five pretty much identical buildings placed like dominoes in a line behind this one. The offices of the company I work for is located in the next one behind this.

The tall monument is largely made of glass and it can be lit up as needed. The base around it is a shallow pool of water with an array of decorative fountains. (It was empty when I took the reference photo.)

Yes and no.

#Apple's #iPad makes it easy to test, build and sell #CCSS [commercial closed-source software] at a premium.

  • I mean, I'm happy with my #X230Tablet but I do acknowledge this is an old device and it's rather the exception than norm...

Simply because #Wacom makes good passive stylus and pen-capable touchscreens.

  • So OFC companies that have the money and resources to build premium #apps will target the premium customers who by virtue ob being able to splash 4 digits on a tablet brand-new will be proven more able to pay for their software.

That's why #Autodesk won't even sell people a #Linux license for #Maya (or any of their other tools) unless one has proof of ownership of a certified workstation (i.e. HP Z-series) with a #RHEL [#RedHat] #Workstation #subscription active to begin with.

  • And yes they will run the machine's serial # to check if it's ordered with parts that fit their system requirements from the factory and will demand the same for RHEL. I've been there and had to do that before they even consider offering one a subscription!

Compare that to like #AffinityDesigner on #iOS (or rather "#iPadOS") and the fact that basically all iPad users are expected to have an Apple account and credit card linked to it for the #AppStore and it's no wounder the developers of creative apps will focus on that.

The only exception are #FLOSS #apps that are native to Linux and/or got started on other #Unix Systems [#blender started out on #IRIX as CCSS] and serve #macOS & #Windows as 2nd & 3rd tier platforms [i.e. #darktable oftentimes had no Windows builds because none of the devs had or wanted a Windows machine to test on!]

#Affinity #AffinityDesigner は UI のカラーモード変えると Symbols パネルの Sync ボタンのトグルが分からなくなる（アプリを再起動すると直る）というバグがまだ残ってて、うっかり OS のカラーモードを変えるとそれに遭遇しちゃうの面倒だかアプリ側でダークモード固定にした :tony_normal:

#Affinity の単体でよくセールしてるけど、結局公式のユニバーサルライセンス買うのが一番コスパとしては良い気がするんだよな〜
1.5万くらいの金額で買い切りですべてのアプリ、すべてのプラットフォーム（macOS, Windows, iOS）版が使えるし、

* Publisher の #StudioLink を使って Designer と Photo も行き来しながら作業しつつ
* アートボードとかレイヤーごとに複数の設定で一括書き出しとかしたいときは Designer
* RAW 現像とかレタッチに特化したペルソナを使いたいときは Photo

みたいに Affinity 3 アプリを全部使ってこその魅力もあるから…といち古参ユーザーとしては思う…
