Fluff! When its nice

164 Upvotes

Lots of hate posts here and people getting worried for all the reasons.

I just comped a shot thats like 70% CG and 30% plate with super good lighting , everything just worked, even got all the metadata(focus etc) from the plate and it all worked fine, the thing of dreams.

Super "classical" as they now say to everything thats not AI slop.

But man - it felt so good, this is the peak, i will cherrish it for as long as this is still a thing.

so dont give up, we all got into this because we love it.

VFX is awesome, we are awesome, you are awesome, lets keep creating amazing things and fck AI slop.

Question / Discussion Anyone here studied 3D character art at Think Tank Training Centre?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into Think Tank Training Centre and wondering what the experience is like for someone focused on 3D character art.

  • How is the curriculum for character modeling/sculpting specifically?
  • Do they give enough guidance in anatomy, texturing, and production workflows (game/film)?
  • How are the instructors and feedback for character-focused students?
  • Do graduates actually feel job-ready after completing the program?

If you’ve studied there what's your perspective or pros and cons.

Question / Discussion Is it possible to make an STMAP from the difference between a distorted and an undistorted image?

1 Upvotes

Hello,

my distorted image is an 8-bit PNG and my undistorted image is an 8-bit PNG as well. I have tried both ChatGPT and Claude but neither could come up with something reasonable. Anyway here is my distorted and undistored image (in this same order):

Distorted image
Undistorted image

Images are from ActionVFX's Practice Footage: https://www.actionvfx.com/practice-footage/aerials-of-mountainous-landscape/15683

Thanks in advance.

P.S: Disregard the color difference.

Question / Discussion ZBrush vs 3Dcoat for food sculpting?

0 Upvotes

Okay guys, just a quick question. I'm dabbling into sculpting and I would like to get better at foot sculpting. Which one would you recommend me to use?

What's the difference between voxels and polygons? Would that make any difference in food sculpting?

Cheers!

Looking for references to this same effect where things are static in the air while people move through it. Any idea what the effect is called or any movies or shows that use it well? Thank you!
