"Ivory Chess Pieces"

Detailed renders of chess pieces from "The Duel", published a few days ago. Designed and rendered in Blender, showing sub-surface scattering of light through thinner areas of the ivory and traces of fingerprints on the surface of the pieces.

I've been reading about mushroom drops.🍄🪄

You only need 1-3 drops for a pleasant relaxing mild visual trip.

Apparently it's a combination of Psilocybin extract and 4-AcO-DMT and comparable to a mushroom or truffle trip.

I have been tripping in the past using fresh or dried shrooms and stopped doing it, due to difficulty in dosing. This could solve that.

Has anybody got experience with these drops?

Justice #Amy #Coney #Barrett’s opinion was just a page long, all of two paragraphs.
But in distancing herself from both blocs in Monday’s nominally unanimous Supreme Court decision rejecting a constitutional challenge to former President Donald J. Trump’s eligibility to hold office, she staked out a distinctive role.

Justice Barrett was the third of Mr. Trump’s appointees, rushed onto the court after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, arriving just before the 2020 election. But she is viewed as one of the more moderate members, relatively speaking, of the court’s six-member conservative supermajority. At oral arguments, she can convey a mix of intellectual seriousness and common sense.

In public appearances, she is adamant that the court is apolitical, though she sometimes says so in venues that undercut her message.
In 2021, for instance, Justice Barrett told an audience in Kentucky that “my goal today is to convince you that this court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks.”
-- She was speaking at the University of Louisville’s McConnell Center, after an introduction by Senator #Mitch #McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the minority leader, who helped found the center and was instrumental in ensuring her confirmation. Last year, she was the featured speaker at the annual gala of the #Federalist #Society, the conservative legal group.

“This suit was brought by Colorado voters under state law in state court,” Justice Barrett wrote.
👉“It does not require us to address the complicated question whether federal legislation is the exclusive vehicle through which Section 3 can be enforced.”

Having established that she sided with her liberal colleagues on the #substance of what they had to say, she questioned their #tone, calling it #strident.

Members of the court who disagree with the majority, she said, face a choice, adding that her colleagues had made the wrong one.

I figure I could do an #introductions too.

I'm Froyok / Léna Piquet, and I have been working on Substance Painter for almost 8 years, initially at Allegorithmic and now at Adobe.

In my spare time I play with the Unreal Engine, experiment with shaders and sometimes draw stuff. So it's mostly tech art oriented. :)

From time to time, I write articles on my website, often about Unreal: froyok.fr/articles.html
