Crush the blacks is like playing with levels in photoshop to get more contrasty hues in your image. Mostly just making the blacks blacker....

OMG YOU RACIST!!!

Yes, I believe its because HDTV's have some 'true black' feature so movies (and maybe games, dunno) have far richer blacks instead of dull ones. Its to do with depth I think.

crushing a colour range is generally a levels adjustment that brackets its range into a smaller area. You'd do it on a depth map to create a mask, or in colour correction.

They missed on key one.


Hysterical laughter.... which in turn turns to hysterical chuckling, as they power off the PC, while hysterically coughing, which turns to hysterical sobbing, which turns into hysterically crying in fetal position on the floor.

Cause its awesome and deserves its own thread, and not everyone checks the youtube thread.

The Thread of Awesomeness (General Discussion) is a general discussion thread used to collect funny/awesome/stupid links, videos or pictures. Try and contain your urges of showing everyone the top videos on Digg in their own thread, and post them there instead.
General Discussion is for discussion of anything art/game-related - not for rampant posting of gag vids or lolcats. This isn't 4Chan/Tumblr. This is Polycount. This is why there's the Youtube (and similar) thread(s). It's a forum guideline that doesn't seem to get enforced as much as it used to, but you should still be following it.

LOL! Well done! "Fuck Maya" made me snort with laughter. I'm so glad someone else screams those words too...

Deal with it mate. It is far more relevant to us than lolcats (even taking into consideration that this is Polycount.) Sometimes I feel things deserve their own thread like in this instance or when someone makes a fucking awesome cock rig video featuring sweeeet deformation. Other people are enjoying it, if you can't, move along, no need to ruin it for others. Feel free to report it if it really irks you, but as a mod has posted in the thread already, not sure if it'll get closed or not. Not to mention its far more relevant to us as a group than 'I got a jerb' threads, if you want to talk about needless clutter... ever made on of those threads?

That fucking After Effects ping at the end makes my stomach turn. Posted this vid on my fb wall and that was also what other people commented on lol. Always seemed to have horrible deadlines when it came to After Effects work. Soul destroying.

I liked the wide variety of "Fuck yooou!"s. I go through several of those each day - in my head, at least.

If you think this video is more relevant to us than our peers getting a job, you're a moron.

Sorry to be rude, but you guys started it. I was simply pointing out the rules and guys berate me for it? There is a place for this video and it was already shown there.

Seriously, this forum has taken a downturn ever since the TF2 Polypack. Common sense be damned, apparently.
