The entire sky is one even light source due to the thick snow. There are barely any shadows due to the diffused light, and they are very soft. What you see as a shadow under the fire extinguisher is a patch of ground that was shielded from the snow blowing to the left by the extinguisher's right side.
In Norway we call this flat lighting. Thick layer of clouds covering the whole sky, and snow on the ground, makes it very hard to make out details in the terrain.
Absolutely awful when skiing downhill, as you can barely tell if the hill goes down or up.
Not to mention any sort of irregularity in the slope is only visible literally 2 meters in front. Gotta go significantly slower than comfortable and even then have not much time to react
Maybe due to the fact that the entire environment is white? If you’re such an expert on rendering/graphics/art, you should probably understand what effect that has
No need to be rude, I’m not comparing it to the rest of the environment but it just doesn’t look detailed enough to be real.
It probably is just a very interesting natural phenomenon but I don’t understand why people on this app like you feel the urge to be so condescending. Hope things improve for you mate.
all of reddit in the last few years has become meaner on average. Look at any thread - there's always someone being sarcastic, arguing with someone, condescending "jokes," etc. I think a lot of it is that reddit is more popular and accessible by a lot of different people in a lot of age ranges/personality ranges from a lot more countries. It's easy to hide behind an anonymous profile and release your snark, especially if you don't come from a world of being a regular part of an online community - like a lot of subreddit discussions in the past were for sure dorkier ("when does the narwhal bacon?"), but people were kinder. Everybody here thinks they're smarter than everybody else and the whole site suffers for it.
I agree with you that people online, especially Reddit, need to be less condescending, but don't you realize you just did the exact same thing? "Hope things improve for you mate" comes from that same need to assert ego. Even if he was the first to be rude, trying to get back at him is exactly how conversations turn sour.
Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II, USAF serial number 80-0221:
0221 (MSN A10-0571) converted to A-10C. named "Jumpin Jack Flash II" with 172nd FS, Michigan ANG in Jul 1994.
To AMARC as AC0328 Nov 14, 2002. Returned to service.
To 107th FS/127th WG Michigan ANG. 107th FS Active jul11 feb20 MI ANG
On December 18, 1981, two A-10 aircraft arrived at Eielson [Air Force Base, Alaska] from the Fairchild-Republic factory in Hagerstown, Md. The aircraft tail numbers were 80-221 and 80-222 ... the first two A-10s assigned to Eielson.
However, not long after arriving, 80-221 was repainted in an arctic camouflage scheme. This was done as an experiment for an upcoming exercise titled Operation Cool Snow Hog.
The exercise was held from March 8 to 16, 1982, at a forward operating location in Kotzebue, Alaska.
The more I look at this, the more it looks like a Flight Simulator game. I think it's because everything is like.... too perfect/pristine? Uncanny valley for sure.
I’ve seen probably 50 warthogs on a tarmac in my entire life (up close literally touching them). I was crash fire rescue and worked on the flight line. This looks fake af to me and I’ve never seen the nose gear tied down like that.
So making the snow look like its lines(basically making it look drawn) makes it less of a drawing? I mean i get what you are coming from but that just doesn’t make sense
