@cgpov Any advice on how to start learning how to build scripts for C4D. Base methodology? Sure it’s a mix of ChatGPT, Google, and trial&error

@maxonredshift Where, if anywhere, can I find information on what's going on under the hood to create RS post effects like Bloom and Streak?

Looking to more accurately replicate in Nuke the RS post effects I look-dev with in C4D.

Surprised there aren't OFX tools for this?

Just logged #AllOfUsStrangers on @letterboxd and noticed it’s still marked as “want to watch” by @tvaziri and @Oddernod. Dudes. Holy hell. Nothing will prepare you for this story. Get on it.

Human Hair Reconstruction with Strand-Aligned 3D Gaussians

Contributions (cited):
– We propose a new 3D line lifting scheme that uses a modified 3DGS reconstruction technique to lift 2D orientation maps into a 3D field while also providing refinement of the camera parameters;
– We introduce a dual representation of hair strand polylines and 3D Gaussians to achieve differentiable rasterization of hair strands and leverage photometric constraints for strand-based hair reconstruction;
– Based on these components, we propose a coarse-to-fine optimization method for prior-guided hair reconstruction that leverages both latent and explicit representations of the hairstyle.

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.

Would you play this?

[Mike Lambert @immikelambert]

@cgpov You mean from industry accounts too or just general X nonsense? Over the years I’ve found the algo is pretty good at keeping in line with only things I tend to read/watch. Managed to keep it pretty clean and almost exclusively CG/VFX for quite a while.

@SpenserFX @rendernetwork We get security audits by larger brands and my IT team would understandably shut this down SO FAST. I do think it’s worth a conversation with RNDR Net to see what they recommend. There has to be a safe path forward here for full-size studios.

@rendernetwork thoughts on this?

[Mike Lambert @immikelambert]

@SpenserFX @rendernetwork Do you know of any decent size studios utilizing RNDR Network on the regular? Are there any security concerns offering up access your system to contribute GPU power? RNDR is probably the single largest selling point for me switching us over to Octane.

@offmodescarab Just one? 👀 My money is on Gareth pushing out the rest

un peu d'animation , merci à @adrobskimusic pour le Sound Design!!

[Mike Lambert @immikelambert]

Haven’t seen most of the recent franchise but I will watch absolutely anything Gareth Edwards makes so I’m ready to buckle up!

Roger Deakins thought #TheBatman should've been nominated for Best Cinematography and won 🦇

"The reason it wasn’t is pure and simple: snobbery. There’s this unfair tendency to avoid the Marvel universe and the other popular universes"

[Ryan Summers @Oddernod]

Want to get better at animation quickly, esp as a junior motion designer?

Do this exercise in After Effects weekly - the key being “set all keys by hand, on every frame”

Guarantee you’ll not just get fast at it - you’ll start SEEING timing and spacing BEFORE you set those keys.

anyway here's a 26 minute break down of the incredible vfx from prometheus

@mattworkman @JJChalupnik @Azadux I got a good cackle from that

@DiscGolfNetwork Why on earth would I pay for a service that fails as soon as I try to connect my laptop to an HDMI, Airplay to my TV, or stream from my phone?? And the AppleTV app loses audio sync within 60seconds. So so so frustrating.

[Mike Lambert @immikelambert]

@DiscGolfNetwork website/app frustrates me more than any other technology service. Nothing is easy.
