Hardware Upgrade

I just upgraded my graphics card from an RTX 3080 to an RTX 4090, mainly for Blender and frame interpolation, not really for video rendering, I will still use my Mac Studio to do the final rendering.

The old RTX 3080 only has 10GB of VRAM, so it struggles when the scene becomes complex in Blender. However, I believe a professional 3D artist can optimize the scenes and textures to make it work really well, although I don't know much about that, I only learn what I need to achieve what I ...

New Year, New Benefit

Hi, everyone, for the last few days, I made a new website: https://lyrics.randomk.me/

It’s a color coded lyrics website, but the main purpose of this website is to give you guys a new benefit, as a New Year gift. I will only post there once I finish a line distribution video. It will take some time to edit a post, so I probably won't post lyrics for older videos there.

The website currently only has two pages, bu...

Edit Distribution

Hello everyone, I just added a new feature to the random_k website, an editor in which you can edit the distribution by yourself.

You can use it however you want, if your editing is quite accurate, I can then use it for my videos, it can save me some time, you can also edit roughly just to give me a reference.

There are three types of items in this editor:

1. Normal part, the ...

New Mac

A huge thanks to the community, I was able to bought a new Mac Studio, it's a huge upgrade from my 2 years old Hackintosh (Non-Apple computer running Apple's macOS).

I purchased a Mac Mini when Apple released it back in 2020, but the performance isn't much better than my Hackintosh, so I returned it, and since then, I have been waiting for Apple to release a new Mac Mini with a better chip. The chip inside the Mac Studio isn't new, it has already been used in MacBooks, but I don't...

Audio Visualizers

Hello everyone, recently I have been using Blender(3D software) to make music visualizers for line distribution videos, it's fun and I'm still learning everyday, but there is one problem, it takes hours to render.

You might have noticed the lower quality of the visualizer in the past few videos, it's because I have to lower the resolution, framerate(I do frame interpolation later), quality, samples, lighting... but even after this, some still need more than 8 hours to render. The fan is...

My Workflow

[Updated: Mar 4, 2022]

For those who are interested, this is my workflow for line distribution videos.

I have two computers now, one is a hackintosh (computer running Apple's macOS) I built in May last year, it has some second hand parts, so it’s cheaper, I do all the editing on it. The second one is a Windows PC, which I built this January, it's more powerful, it has a AMD 5900x CPU and a Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card, but because I'm used to working on macOS and also I don't p...

40 Votes for a request this month

Thank you guys so much for the support for the new app, I have more than 20 new patrons this month, I think it's the highest since the launch of my Patreon page, THANK YOU!!!

For October, I will lower the votes needed for a request, it will be 40 votes, so it's like a promotion, hope you guys like it.

Thank you.

Now tokens won't expire

Hi everyone,

I just made some changes, unused tokens won't expire anymore, but you have to login this app every month to claim your tokens, you don't need to click any button, the tokens will be claimed automatically after you login.

If you find your token numbers not correct, feel free to contact me anytime.

I have also changed the domain for the app, it's on the main domain now: https://randomk.me/

and the p...

Announcement

Hello everyone,

I developed a small app in the past few weeks, here is the link: https://randomk.me/

It's not a replacement for the VIP requests, It's a benefit for non-vip tier patrons, everyone can vote on the requests, of course, I hope this will also get me more patrons.

Because I won’t be able to resume VIP requests now, I still have lots of requests left to do, if I don’t pause the billing next month...

Billing Cycle for August/July PAUSED

I think i should post this every month, so you guys can be sure that you won't be charged.

About this month

Sorry guys, i just found out some of you are charged this month, i didn't know you have to manually pause patreon every month. so patrons in VIP tiers can submit requests this month, and i will pause it again starting from next month.

Patreon Pause

Hello everyone, i will pause Patreon starting from May, you guys can stay in the current tiers without paying, the billing will also be paused, you don’t need to do anything. i have way too many requests to do right now, it makes no sense for me to keep accepting more requests that i can't do. also i'm not feeling very well for the past few weeks, that's why i slowed down lately. i will keep doing current requests slowly, and then resume Patreon once i finish them.

If you w...
