@goncalor original image was some kpop artists or korean models against a sea blue wall, iirc, i can't find it for the life of me now, though :/

@acostoss No problem. This is nice. I see you have tooted more examples.

@Spooky @ me when you do, I'd love to see~

@wareya ooo that looks super nifty! I've played w/ exporting each color channel separately before but only to apply different effects to each, I gotta try this sometime!

@sydneyfalk sorry if i wasn't terribly verbose/clear, let me snag some screenshots for ya

@acostoss I'm v. rusty technically, and barely know what audacity even is

so really I'm just making a dumb joke

(and also, I'm very drunk now, so please do not feel you need to screenshot, I am probably past 'understanding', I am barely at 'typing coherently')

@sydneyfalk haha no worries, i thought it was a joke but thought i should err on the side of misunderstanding JUST IN CASE ya know?

and ye it is kinda hard to get going but once ya get in the groove it gets easier

@acostoss I believe it's probably the case, it is with most things. And I do appreciate the offer even though I couldn't appreciate the finromation ^_^

@acostoss

ha, oh christ, now I'm trying to figure out what 'finromation' is

thinking it's a term used by shark movement capture technicians

@sydneyfalk I was thinking automation, like the automation of ocean currents to ease a fin's ability to glide through the water??

actually that makes about as much sense as the word does

@acostoss

I was thinking abck to all the things like 'rotoscoping' and all the specialized terminogoly that the animation industry uses

@acostoss and actually, I could use the thing you're describing in this idea for an underwater setting with a living submarine that's actually a genetically re-engineered whale with a gigantic 'air bladder' that all equipment and personnel stay inside

maybe that's why they have specific trade routes -- finromation engines allow for reduced feeding of the ship on those routes, saves fuel

@sydneyfalk the fuel being the crew, something else carried aboard, or what it skims during the travels?

@acostoss the fuel is food it skims in travel, picks up on refueling trips through large krill pockets, or is fed from sealed containers inside the crew area

it's engineered with a second passage into the stomach from the air bladder -- difficult to use, dirties the air of the crew space somewhat, but it's only for adding fuel reserves while still inside the ship

@sydneyfalk ooo I see now, very interesting!

@acostoss

thank you! :) still gotta figure out if this is far-future Earth or far-far-far-far future extrasolar human colonies, or somehow time travelers came back with the genetech and re-engineered the ceta-subs based on their own future tech to explore current time's oceans to find something destroyed in the future

kinda liking that last one, actually -- but I'm sure it's all got more iteratoining to go through ^_^ ideas take time to bake, just like meatloaf

@acostoss (hopefully it's all right if I use that concept, in eventual published fiction)

@sydneyfalk (yeah by all means~)

@acostoss (like, the timing is a joke but I have had like six -- I think six shots)

@sydneyfalk 6 shots is a good number, i'm surprised you're typing so well!

@rpavlik I haven't, but I know @halcy has done some work reconstracting vocal samples from diodes attached to ones face to capture facial movements

@acostoss regs open a bit!

@acostoss @rpavlik hi yeah, there is also a lot of good work in voice conversion (voice-to-other-voice) in general (our work is sort of a special case of that)
