I created most of the audio after a cold, and my voice wasn't back to normal yet. I could have used a computer generated voice (like I have in the past, which I got a complaint about too) which actually sounds pretty good.Thanks! No sales intended. And I'm sure I will never see a check from YouTube. If I could get my dog to cooperate, maybe I could create a viral video
But, he's been resistant.Thanks! I'm a computer programmer. And I like to do raytracing (I wrote the raytracer that created the scenes in the video).
Thanks! BTW, when I was getting my M.S. in Computer Science, I did sign up for a course where you build your own computer (soldering, etc. I'm not talking about buying a motherboard, and plugging in this harddrive, etc.) taught in the Computer Engineering department, but it got canceled because not enough people signed up. But, I feel worse now about how much today's students get to do at my old university that weren't possible then - free (I think) 3d printing, free use of arduino boards, raspberry pi's, etc. I remember I wanted to create a video of my computer graphics to send to Siggraph. We got someone from a local TV station to film it, but he couldn't because the sync rate of the SUN monitor didn't match the video camera. Needed a very expensive signal converter that we couldn't get. But now, there's zillions of ways of creating a video. I guess I should be happy that technology has progressed so much.
No need to read up on them. All is given here factually and physics behind them too.
I am not sure what that was all about!
But it sounded impressive!
I have a gameboy that still works.
BTW, I just fixed my old (original) XBox. Someone drove into a power pole and when the power came back on, my XBox was fried. I connected an ATX power supply to it (connecting the XBox wires to the right ATX wires).
Not to mention the GPU's that are so complex that the manufacturers typically can't even eliminate the bugs in them. Or make them compatible with other manufacturer's GPU's. And OS makers (and computer programmers) who after realizing there's no easy way around the buggy GPU's, just blacklist them. (I'm thinking about Intel graphics chips specifically).
Wow, that's quite a BOOK on the subject
(a lot to read). I guess I would have to figure out who the audience would be to determine how technical to get. BTW, I wrote an HDR photography article for a local magazine. They rejected it saying it was too technical (even though I said I wrote it so that the technical section could be taken out easily). So I sent it to my college alumni magazine. They rejected it too saying it was too technical (funny since the college has "Technology" in it's title). BTW, both of those would have been for no money.Side of the fence meaning technical or less technical? Or the debate in the thread you mentioned? If the former, I'm used to people not wanting to talk technical (they find it nerdy or geeky), but I do sometimes miss being able to talk about programming, electronics, math, etc. to someone who wants to hear it. Don't get me wrong, the (perhaps) stereotypical example of programming "nerds" talking about the advantages of one sort method over another would completely bore me. I just use a quicksort because it's built into the language, I don't care how it compares to whatever the latest sort method is. Though, in general, I do care about speed. Sorry if that's too off-topic. Getting back to the video... I guess my goal was to put enough in there to be informative (so knowledgeable people will find something of interest) but also give something to people, who don't know the subject, to spark an interest. That's why I put in the slightly off-topic stuff at the end of the video (to make people curious about what could be done/learned, etc.). Even the 4 dimensional quaternion Julia fractal image at the end was meant to cause someone to say, "wow, what's that? How's it done?". Sadly, most people don't go to the end of videos (especially if it's past the credits).
