I hate the soft I'v been spending most of my time in for decade already . It's Substance Designer. It's rather love/hate relation actually and I still couldn't find any alternative . It's non destructive everything and super cool indeed in this regard but gosh wouldn't they do every node most inconvenient way ever…
I feel like I'm probably one of the few people that like Git. Mostly because all I do is software development, and Git was really designed for that. But I'm not very fond of Maya for a few reasons.* MEL is terrible. There's a whole slew of issues I have with it. The Python wrapper, short arguments, functions doing way too…
For some reason, Nuke comes to mind. I used it just a few months ago to make a short reel of all the compositing/vfx stuff I did year ago, but just looking at the UI brought me back nightmares lol. I'm glad I was able to get by making the reel, but it'd have to be a good 6 years since I really got into it, for…
I think the standard UI is okay, like you said the muscle memory and knowing where things are comes after a little bit. Still there are items in menus which don't really make sense like the camera and perspective controls being under the Draw panel. Or like all of the different modes for Transparency, isolate subtool and…
Slack can be obnoxious especially if people make a bunch of channels or start direct message groups and mostly use it to just talk shit. But Slack can do some good too... It can help reduce randomization If you've ever had a day when you do nothing but get interrupted, slack can be a nice way to divert some of that desk…
Surprised there is so much hate for Git haha. Are you guys using a git GUI or just command line? Though to be honest Ive never used it for anything else besides code and back in college when a professor had us make flash projects in Mercurial (pretty much like Git)
Maya - it doesn't work, has never worked, they have no intention of fixing it and there is no alternative SVN - because I've used perforce Shotgun - Better options include giving up on planning altogether and carving notes in your chest with a spoon oh, and this week Substance Painter gets the finger because the API is…
Git is for programmers who want local copies of the entirety of their codebase, along with local copies of each version of each file. The guy who designed Git just wanted to download all his code before jumping on an airplane. Artists only want the latest files, and only the directories they need to work on. I.e. enviro…
I used Rhino once at work to get CAD models with strange file formats out of it for better 3D softwares. Oh god, even the basic navigation and its basic tools gave me a headache. Absolutely horrible experience when everything isn't working the way normal 3D softwares work. I've used Maya, but even that was a pleasant…
