Wow, that's really good insight! Thank you!
Oh, that's really neat! Prop cigarettes that look and burn like the genuine article, but just have herbs stuffed in it! Thanks!
At least in the United States, smoking is something fewer and fewer people take up these days. This obviously wasn't the case back in the 50's through the 80's, where cigarettes were commonly smoked out in public.
So whenever I see a period movie or show, filmed in the 2020's but taking place in the 60's, there's frequent scenes where characters are smoking cigarettes in a bar or stress-smoking to the filter after a stressful conversation. And I think to myself, "are these actors all smokers? In this day and age? Or is that an unlit prop ciggy with VFX smoke done in post?"
Are fake cigarettes common in film production now, or are these still typically the real deal?
C# is the language used by the Unity game engine, as well as an option when developing with the Godot game engine. It's also a common language when building tools that support game developers outside the game engine! So yeah, it's a useful language!
What are your goals? Do you already have a coding background?
This is right. I desperately want to cycle places and take public transit, but in Los Angeles, things have been built with such distances that this often means 2+ hour trips if not done by car. Cities need to rezone and re-prioritize for better public transit in a lot of areas to reach this vision.
Recently I discovered Harvard's CS50 series of classes.
A really excellent way to learn programming in a class structure without actually going out to classes and having hard deadlines.
Holy cow, I'm shocked that Unreal doesn't even have its own slice here.
