A really interesting read. "Abuse of VFX Artists Is Ruining the Movies"
This was posted on gizmodo about the situation affecting vfx artists. I do feel there is some overlap with the games industry particularly outsourcing. https://gizmodo.com/disney-marvel-movies-vfx-industry-nightmare-1849385834 I think that the more 1st party a studio is, meaning it is the client and has production inhouse,… -
Re: Sketchbook: erebus9
Hi, thank you for stopping by and for kind words. Sorry for the late reply, I was a little daunted with the task. Lately I've spent not as much time as i would like to on this project.

Re: Sati Hartigan - would love a portfolio review
I really love both of the pieces here that are from Drew Hill concepts. Super appealing work, totally nailed it. To me, that shows your sense for actual aesthetics and such a lot more than your work for actual work.

Re: A new modeling tool released
I'm really starting to love this tool so thanks for making it available. It's great that you listen and implement suggestions here; you don't get that with Autodesk so it's very much appreciated.

Runover process of Custom COPs node to create variations of tileable stones (Height and Normalmap) Takes time to get a concise and believable normal vectors and flow for rock/stone textures.

Is there a difference in working in VFX(Movie industry) and Gaming industry?
I am getting familiar with CG industry as a whole. I would like to know if there is some difference working between these two industries? Does technology is the same when someone wants to go from Gaming to VFX or vise versa? Or, someone have to re-learn how to do stuff? Which one is more stable, to get more full time job?… -
Scale drift between Blender, Unreal, and Maya — how do you manage it?
I’m curious how others here handle unit and scale consistency across different tools and engines. In my experience, scale drift tends to creep in over time — especially when assets move between Blender, game engines, and other DCCs. Even when everyone “knows” the correct units, small inconsistencies still seem to cause… -
The realistic skin, muscle, and gore systems in the upcoming game "ILL" - How is it optimized?
Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to discuss a highly technical topic today. It's about the incredibly realistic animations in the upcoming game ILL.
