Hi going to build North of Ayutthaya Just a sample really open to any builders that have built similar as the inside can be changed around to suit.

Looking at have a pool villa built. Anyone know a good builder who builds these types of houses. Currently living in a 2 storey house which is so cool downstairs that makes me want to have a 2 storey house to keep it cooler . Would love to see plans of different styles This would be ok but was the first one i saw on a google search.

Hey! It’s been a while since I’ve posted- Now, I have a consistent problem where I open my mouth intending to add just a sentence to a conversation and a nine-volume encyclopedia pops out instead. Accordingly, my attempt to answer the poster succinctly turned into a post-long response that I decided might as well just be a post, so here it is! Thanks for your comment! You may be right that Spider-verse isn’t the best example, and certainly I wouldn’t hold it up as an example of the kind of production I intend to create--just as a very good example of stylized CG. I suspect that rendering in a stylized way, and making this style work with their existing methods, was quite expensive for SPI! I recall an artist who worked on Paper Man describing it as twice the work of ordinary CG. That's certainly a danger with stylized approaches--but I think it's an avoidable one. The problem, it seems to me, is that you really can't approach this sort of production as if it were conventional CG, with a conventional methodology and pipeline, and expect to reap the cost benefits I think are potentially realizable with it. You'd have to treat this kind of production very differently. For instance, you mention simulation as something that would be difficult with non-continuous motion, and you're quite correct. So simulation itself would be the first thing on the chopping block for the production, outside of the occasional FX shot. It's one of the many steps that gums up the works of CG production and prevents us from getting to that an-artist-can-sit-down-and-just-make-something state. Plus I generally don't like its results on an artistic basis (at least in this stylized context). When traditional animators animate clothed characters, the clothing takes part in the character's silhouette and becomes a part of the performance. They never had any difficulty animating cloth by hand. Yes, I am actually claiming that hand-animating cloth would be faster then simulating it, and I know how insane that sounds from a conventional CG perspective. But stylization completely changes the game. Consider the monkey test I posted a few months back. The monkey is unclothed, of course, but there definitely parts of his body that require secondary animation, notably his hair tufts and ears. The hair tufts at least would most likely be simulated if this shot were approached in a conventional manner. The way I approached the shot was not only to animate them by hand, but to animate them from the very beginning--the very first key poses I put down already included the ears and hair tufts as an inherent aspect of those poses, already contributing to silhouettes and arcs. It’s pretty difficult to get an accurate idea of exactly what percentage of my time animating the shot was devoted to them, but I’m going to guess it was only a few percent. This is only possible because the stylized look allowed me to ignore the “higher frequency” details that would be required for a fully rendered character, and I expect these same details would also be unnecessary for character clothing. I’m much more interested in character silhouettes then I am in wrinkles and clothing detail, so some simple secondary that’s really just part of the character’s pose would actually be more effective. The idea here is that this isn’t just any form of stylization--it’s a specifically chosen set of stylizations that support each other in the goal of massively reducing the amount of work involved. And that means choosing subjects that work with the grain of those stylistic choices. For instance, you may be wondering how I’d approach a long flowing cape or a long coat. The answer is...I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t generally put characters in long coats or capes. There are about a million stories you could tell that don’t require anyone to wear a cape. Creating low-cost CG in this manner would be about making the design choices that let you get the most bang for your buck production-value wise while maintaining the essentials of character animation, a very different goal then that which I suspect drives companies like SPI and Disney to create stylized CG. This also applies to the NPR rendering. There are a lot of ways to approach this problem, and some may be very time consuming! The two-tone methods I’m using here aren’t, though. I was able, as an individual with some understanding of the problem but no custom tools, to sit down and do the shading for the Monkey test without much trouble. Partly this is again choosing the most direct path to something that both looks good and is efficient to create. The simple two-tone present in the monkey test carries far less detail then the more painterly frames from Spider-verse, but I think it wouldn’t have any difficulty supporting emotionally engaging characters or exciting action scenes. That said, the efficiency of this process could be improved a lot, and there’s a lot of room for R&D here--there’s still a required level of manual tweaking that I’d like to get rid of, and the two tone shapes could be improved. I’m hoping to tackle some of those problems this year. There’s still the question of how that process, however reasonable on a small scale, would scale up to a large production like a feature film. In many ways, it may help to think of the look development for such a production as being less like a conventional film production pipeline, and more like a game. Ideally, except for certain FX shots, such a production would not even have a rendering/compositing stage--what you would see working on the shot would simply be the shot. It might be quite literally “in-engine” if using a game engine as the hub of production turns out to be the right way to approach it (this is something I’m getting more and more interested in). While this doesn’t remove all potential issues with scaling the approach to feature film size, I think it does drastically simplify the problem. Of course, we haven’t actually produced a long-form project using these techniques, and I’m sure there are going to be unforeseen roadblocks, so we shall see! In any case, thanks again for your comment! I hope this illuminates how I envision this production process being different from the way I imagine that Spider-verse is being done, and why I think that the immense cost gains I’m claiming here are achievable.

Saying a vehicle is recharged while having a cup of coffee is the same as me say to my wife that i am just going for a quick drink. Now that could mean i will be back in half an hour or at 5am If i am going to get my car filled up then it should be 10 minutes tops Saying this i have found a great excuse to go to the bars for a few hours . Buy an EV . Come back rat a55ed at 4am talking about WLTP and NEDC cable rating bo77ocks

This right here is why i would not buy a EV car Would prefer a 10 year old honda jazz

They probably were unaware you were trying Somchai in his 1997 Dmax isnt really left for dead

Exactly. I expect khunLA has super fast solar charging stations positioned every 300km across Thailand all padlocked up with a little air con room and a camp bed in itt.

So a full charge 8 hours To be honest I can see it would be fine for using around town but so.eone said you can charge the same time as a quick coffee and a toilet break. They must have prostate trouble and amazon must be flying over to Vietnam to get the beans when you order

Ever been to the F1 or a motogp Used to love watching the bikes at the tt races. Not going to be the same with electic bikes .

Just want to leave this here Yes I know they are expensive but what a sound . I know one day we all will have to drive the EV sh7tboxes but some of these ice vehicles sounded so good. something nobody ever will say about an EV car .

6 mins for 400km is this true if so that is impressive still wouldn't buy one .

Wow so to fully charge a ev takes 15 minutes?

What is this d-bag ? Is it some rap name Not sure a Ford Raptor makes you a D_bag? must be an american thing?

Says the op who can't charge his car. I am sure a vote would go for the Raptor

Get a new Ford Raptor. Problem solved.

I change plugs as its a 10 minute job very easy to do Oil changes i let Honda do Never heard of anyone changing plugs every 10k ?

Yes i do think 2000 each is steep but also 1350 baht a set sounds very cheap .almost 100% fake i was expecting maybe 4-5000 baht which makes me sure at around 340b baht baht each they are going to be fake they do have sets over 1350 I have heard fake spark plugs are fine for about 7-8k then you can get problems I also put a 180 baht spark plug in our yamaha filano and its fine but then its not expensive to replace This set is what i was going to buy but not seen any sold https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ngk-laser-iridium-ilzkar8h8s-honda-civic-fc-tea-2017-city-p10a6-10l-2019-i4177277721-s16425774211.html?

I was about to but heard a few stories of fake spark plugs causing huge damage and didn't want to risk it. Not so worried about a cabin air filter or wiper blades .

I am about to change my Honda civic spark plugs as the last service they said they were needed and wanted over 8000baht for 4 with fitting I know all the bs Lazada /shopee 100% genuine are not worth buying but trying to find an official ngk suppler as not managed to find any. Ebay is full of copies just trying to find a genuine store. Any help would be great as I am sure they are not 2000baht+ and only take 10minutes to change

We are looking at building a L-shaped pool villa. Looking at 3-4 mil budget for the house. Would like to add the pool after or is it financially better to do it along with the build. Any recommendations for builders in Central Thailand. We have a 2 storey house at the moment which is so cool downstairs but can be an oven upstairs after April rime. Would love to have a large bungalow with a high roof to help keep it cooler as a neighbour's bungalow is extremely humid in the hot season,so much so that they sit outside.

*121# will check your balance *545# will check the number Take the sim out the router and put it in a phone to check or via the message if it works

Hope you get better soon. You see the EV cars and their insane 0-60 speeds causing global back injuries Looks like you might need the Yaris or a nice used Mirage.
