Guess what? Living bodies are harder to control versus a stiff piece of wood.
Go back to physics class you childless failure. Better yet, go back to high school and join a wrestling team. Maybe you'll learn about how flexible objects tend to sling their weight all around the place versus a stiff inflexible object.
"They patented the combination of a white cyclorama background, with the object on an elevated platform, the combination of four rear light sources in a particular geometry behind the elevated platform, and some technical tricks to make the elevated platform be imperceptible."
Oh, exactly like what I've been building for over a decade.
Oh, and there's no particular geometry to overpower shadow. 4 lights? I can do it with two. Make the elevated platform imperceptible? Clear acrylic and oversaturation of the area, or use a white cloth matching the lightbox and oversaturate it and shoot at lower ISO. All of this shit is known to anyone that took a fucking photography elective in high school, and in fact this is EXACTLY what Amazon is trying to patent.

What the fuck crack are you smoking? You either copy the mod to the game directory or run the self-extracting and installation-detecting executable.
Speaking as I have all UTs instaled on my system and still play and mod them regularly.
Your contract with Sony obviously came before your contract with the makers of DriveClub, and Driveclub's contract goes directly against the contract with Sony..
Sue the makers of DriveClub for tortious interference of contract. It's an open and shut case. You can't lose unless you do something stupid like make a filing error.
Each beam alone is plus 70 pounds if its not a 2x4.
"I'm also guessing you don't catch them when they are thrown in your direction, either."
Yes, I do, same way we caught 50 and 100lb bags of rice just tossed off the back of the freight truck when I was 15 working at an oriental market as the stock boy.
The joys of ignorant people who have very little life experience. I just look at you and shake my head at your poor sheltered life.
"You've never tried to catch a 50lb spinning object going for your head that you reacted to last second have you?"
Guess your childles sself has never had your own child (or niece or nephew) run at you, leap up in the air, and scream 'surprise!' right before they collide with you. It's catch. Drop is not an option.
Oh, and to add on to this, I'm 150 and right now I'm tossing around 70+ pound 4x4 posts and 2x12 planks in Texas building a demo hydro shed. And yes, when someone says 'Throw me that...' on a code-exempt agricultural site, shit gets THROWN.
"You should have gone with 15-20 pounds. Someone might have believed it then. Your scrawny freshman ass wasn't catching, deflecting, or parrying 50 pounds of anything near your head, let alone a log chucked at you by someone who was a legal adult to your legal minor. "
You must've been homeschooled, you poor sap. I've seen plenty of brawny freshman able to take on junior and senior football players and wrestlers on equal term. I knew 160-pound freshman weightlifters able to bench 250 and squat 700+, and could tie your ass in a pretzel with their tongue alone.
If you did attend a public school, you very obviously sat in the back of the class.

ASM makes R possible.
Henceforth, ASM is king. R is just another pretender.

One percent? You'd better start citing sources.

"Ok, I'm sure you will then volunteer to do all that extremely hard work for not a single penny."
It's only hard if you're totally inept at understanding tutorials provided by many many many other communities dedicated to modding.
But you seem the ill-educated type.
Uh, yea. six-sided box, enclosed or open on any side - done
Illuminated with geometric patterns (a light at corners, a light only on sides/tops/bottoms of the boxe) - done
Hiding the shadow of the raised platform - BEEN FUCKING DONE SINCE/WHEN I HAD ECOGROLED, every one of my products was photographed IN THAT MANNER.
Give me a fucking break. There's nothing new about any of these nonsensical claims, and nothing novel. It's been done for DECADES.

Go back to school.
"Maybe you should at least skim through all the patent claims before saying it's just a camera in front of a white sheet."
As a photographer (and someone that build light boxes) it's a fucking light box with a light BEHIND and AROUND it.
Which I've been building and selling for over a decade. In fact I'm making one for one of my forum admins right now.
Perhaps you should be a photographer before you open your mouth, eh?
As if someone else can't make the same or equivalent thing and simply not charge for it.
Moron.

Yea, PINE.
Now start building your buildings from OAK, like a real person. Only pine in the entire place is the pine plywood.
Regular wood, not pressurized heat treated (you can't even identify your fucking lumber, how the fuck can you be expected to know what weighs what?)
"Can you spin around and catch such a flying object? Certainly not reliably."
Wanna know how I know you're without children of your own? :)

Back to school with your poor understanding of classical physics.

"I haven't used physical media directly for a rather long time"
So you just store your shit in the aether?
Hard drives are still physical media. So is RAM.
Most modern games are so shittily optimized that it's no surprise those GPUs aren't working well.
The same thing that could wrong at most any other level of the architecture, or in software, or in firmware...
ONE, moron. SinkPAD.In fact, quite often, you can just ask for one for free.
It's like you don't bother to even do your research before opening your mouth.
