Gluten bun at red robin near me2/13/2024 Side note: Facebook groups are a great place to ask questions, get great tips and find new recipes in the world of gluten free. I’ve also eaten at almost all of these restaurants myself and can personally attest to them! It’s so fun being able to go out to eat with friends knowing I’m able to order something off of a safe gluten free menu. So all of these restaurants are recommended by real people living a gluten free lifestyle. ![]() I asked real people who live gluten free what their favorite restaurants are. To Compile this list of 15 restaurants with gluten free options, I reached out to some of the Facebook groups I’m a part of. Eat or Drink is filled with gluten free recipes for you to try! Tried and True Restaurants with Gluten Free Options If you do not feel safe eating out, have fun exploring new recipes in your own kitchen. Once you know to what degree gluten must be avoided, it is then easier to determine if eating out is right for you. There are many reasons to avoid gluten (allergy, celiac, thyroid issues, IBS, etc.) all of these require different degrees of “strictness” which should be determined by you and your doctor. If you’re not sure if cross-contact is a problem for you then I would check with your doctor. Don’t be afraid to speak up and ask for what you need when it comes to ordering your gluten free food at restaurants. When traveling, even if you are visiting a familiar chain, it’s best to call ahead or speak to staff when you get there to make sure their location follows the same protocol as the one you are familiar with. Calling ahead is the best way to find out what sort of practices are in place for their gluten free options. Some of these restaurants will be able to use separate fryers or cook spaces for their food, while some will not. If you have severe reactions to cross-contact (also commonly called cross-contamination), be sure to call ahead to make sure your needs can be met. It’s very important to let the servers know your needs. ![]() If you’re stumped trying to find somewhere that accommodates your needs, keep reading to find out which restaurants have gluten free options and use the links to find a location near you!

Everyone who has cinema 4d has a2/13/2024 With C4D’s new Voronoi Fracturing, you can now easily break your model into small pieces. In those cases, you want to take those slick and precise models and break them up into tiny little random pieces. However, there are times that you want to destroy and shatter the things you make. Of course, 3D programs are great at modeling things and making them look clean and perfect -whether you are constructing furniture, buildings or starships. Next to object tracking, Voronoi Fracturing comes in a close second in terms of R18’s new features. ![]() This saves users money and time from having to rely on third-party tracking software. ![]() Along with the already-existing motion tracking, the addition of object tracking makes the application a complete tracking and match-moving solution. The implementation of object tracking inside Cinema 4D is a great enhancement to the product. In the case of object tracking something in footage that was shot with a moving camera, it’s a little more involved since one would need to solve for both the camera and the object. If you are working with footage that was shot with a locked-off camera, the object tracking process is more or less straightforward. All you need are some well-defined tracking markers affixed to the surface of those objects for the object tracker to work. Those movements are not based on the camera motion but rather on the movement of individual objects. Or you wanted to add a flower to a lady’s hat as she rotates her head. For example, suppose a flatbed truck was turning around a corner in the original shot and you wanted to add a missile launcher on top of it. While similar to motion tracking, object tracking is different in that, instead of tracking the camera, it allows you to track individual elements in the live-action footage. With the right lighting and a few shadows, it will be hard to tell the difference between what was in the original shot and what you added later. This allows you to do things like add set extensions or other 3D elements, such as telephone poles or dragons, to the live-action shot and have them align seamlessly with the original scene. ![]() Motion tracking, or match-moving as it is sometimes called, allows you to process live-action footage shot with a moving or hand-held camera and solve for that camera resulting in a “virtual” 3D camera that behaves exactly as the original camera did in the shot. ![]() Motion tracking, which is a closely related feature to object tracking, was introduced two years ago in R16 and seriously upped C4D’s capabilities as a serious visual effects tool (in addition to the motion graphics and animation powerhouse that it already was). Let’s begin with the new Object Tracker in Cinema 4D R18. Object Tracking Cinema 4D R18’s new Object Tracker lets you affix 3D models to moving objects in your footage. R18 includes things like a built-in Object Tracker, Voronoi Fracturing, enhancements to MoGraph, new modeling features and other interesting new additions to this mainstay of the production world. This year’s C4D Release 18 is no exception. And with it comes a host of new features and enhancements that makes 3D artists and animators stand up and take note. The new Push Apart Effector in R18 helps to make sure that generated multiple MoGraph clones don’t overlap each other by pushing them apart or scaling them.Įvery year, right around SIGGRAPH (the annual pow-wow of all things computer graphics), MAXON unveils the latest version of its flagship 3D modeling, rendering and animation package Cinema 4D.

Scaffold guard rail2/13/2024 ![]() The platform would be built from C16 dry graded lumber with a dimension of 47x97mm (approximately 2x4") with 450mm centres (approx 18"). My aim was to make the platform at least this strong. Going by the BS6399-1 building regulations (superseded but I could find figures from this version) a wooden floor should be designed to support 153kg per square meter. I have more detail on my main site but to summarize the calculations worked out like this: The working platform is built like a floor in a house and so it seems reasonable that the calculations and tables used for floors would also work for my platform. The platform was my main concern as this was the first time I'd every built a structure that spanned a reasonable opening. Just looking at the design I was fairly sure that what I intended to build would be strong enough but I wanted to see some figures backing that thought up. ![]() Bargains can be picked up second hand, normally on taller towers, but then you have the problem of transporting it and getting spares. Trade quality towers with a working height of 3.7m typically start around £700 new. DIY towers are good for what they are designed for but they aren't sturdy or stable enough for building work. ![]() Trade quality towers that are good for light to medium construction.Īs you can probably imagine the price goes up with quality.DIY class tower that are good for things like painting upstairs windows / cleaning guttering / etc.These can be picked up for next to nothing but are an accident waiting to happen. Towers are very broadly split into three options: I love building things but I decided that if I could buy a decent tower for less than I could build one then I'd do that. If you want even more detail the full write-up on Wobblycogs Workshop (my main site) runs to over fifteen thousand words.īefore I decided to build my own scaffolding tower I did some research into towers that you can buy. I've tried to cram everything you need to know to complete this build into this instructable but it's a big build with a lot of things to consider. Home made scaffolding is right up there with home made rocket cars in the danger stakes. If you don’t feel you can complete a project like this safely don’t even start. Working at height is dangerous! The Health and Safety Executive statistics shown that nearly a quarter of workplace fatalities are caused by falls from height. me) could have resulted in total collapse so I opted to very carefully take it down from inside which meant I needed a moveable tower type scaffold. That wasn't going to work here though because of how badly the roof timbers had failed. Normally an extension like this would be taken down largely from above by walking around on the roof taking it to bits and throwing it over the side as you work. Due to a major quirk with the construction the flat roof was anything up to 5m or 16' above ground level and there were actually two complete roofs - a pitched roof internally and a flat roof externally. After seeing how much a builder wanted to do the job that gravity was already doing for free I decided to tackle it myself.Īlthough the extension was only a single story and flat roofed it was awkward in just about every way you can imagine. That individual product’s price will be presented in red above.As part of building my new workshop it was necessary to first remove an old and poorly built extension (addition) to our house.
