Blender folks: I have a 180° frame from YouTube that I want to stretch inside a half-sphere to make it 180° immersive. The image is rectangular, so I'm struggling with the UV map since unwrapping a sphere cuts the corners off, and scaling it up loses the spherical effect. How would you reconcile that?

@christianselig I'm sure there's a way to do it in Blender with Texture Coordinates in the shader graph or something, but I can’t figure it out. The cheater's solution, which I assume doesn't work for you(?), is to just double the width of the image horizontally. Basically un-crop it 200% in width like this.

@christianselig Okay, I figured it out. Don't unwrap the sphere's uv's just use them as-is. in the UV Editor scale them in X to -2 (since you want the texture on the inside). That'll get you a sphere with 2 copies of the image, split down the middle…

@christianselig If you want only one copy of the image, and black on the other side of the sphere, do something like this in your shader graph.

@christianselig Oh, nice. Yeah, that's the same thing, you just don't have all those extra UVs hanging off the sides to deal with. I really expected there to be some way to specify a partial equirectangular image in the shader graph, but apparently it's just good old UVs for this.

@christianselig I mean, I should have assumed that automatically because I'm literally doing that, too. I just…hate working with UVs.

@siracusa regerding control center and dimmable lights, if you tap on the light it will be a toggle. The same for the home app and widgets on the Home Screen. All of my smart lights are dimmable and I just toggle them on and off.

It’s possible I’m missing how you’re using it.

@siracusa @waynedixon For dimmers in Control Center, tap the icon for a toggle, tap anywhere else for the dimmer slider.

@ConnertheCat @siracusa @waynedixon Yeah, I think I discovered it accidentally, months after the change.

a single word in our code has caused a pretty egregious error for over a year now and we didn't catch it until this week

@powerllama Last night, I also fixed the regex matching for render notifications so it actually works with the naming conventions I’ve been telling people to use for a year. Really crusing it over here.

@alexcox Weird! Same dock position. My phone came back some time during the night. Maybe it just needed a night off to go out on the town.
