@seanterelle Looks awesome! Can I ask how you created the cells? It that just 2D points with voronoi displacement used as the bounds for each bubble?

[Jacob J Holiday @jacobjholiday]

@TPriv014 @pexels @Juanmarquez1703 Yes, exactly.

[Jacob J Holiday @jacobjholiday]

@pexels why is video download not working? Seems that many are experiencing the issue.

@rileybrown3d I got a MacBook Pro m1 max and now my desktop sits unused even when I'm at home because the laptop is just so good. I like being able to take it with me and work from a coffee shop every now and then to change things up. Then I just render on a farm for finals.

@joeyvfx It's lit! Haha nice work.

@cgcookie I'm very proud of all the Blender artists who helped me put this together - fresh off the press!

@chamandylife was a huge help in delivering some awesome VFX shots - also made in Blender.

In just one month, an incredible team of artists helped me bring this Christmas short film to life. I'm super proud of their work! Check it out and make sure to share it with someone who might enjoy it!

@dikko_art did the amazing character modeling, rigging, and animation all inside Blender!

[Jacob J Holiday @jacobjholiday]

@polyfjord I would love to do some VFX shots with whatever creature is attached to this 🙂 Nice work with the rig and animation, looks great!

[Jacob J Holiday @jacobjholiday]

I had a nice chat with @tonroosendaal about when we might see the next VFX-related short film. It has been too long since @Mrdodobird's Tears of Steel!

@CDisillusion @tonroosendaal Awesome to hear you'll be there, Alan! I messaged you on discord.

@BlenderConf Hey there! I don't imagine there are any places for accomodation with group deals for attendees?

[Jacob J Holiday @jacobjholiday]

I never thought I'd stare at reflective surfaces so much in my life. But to be a good VFX artist you need to know how light works in the real world! Here's the tutorial that resulted:

Reflective surfaces can pose a unique challenge when adding realistic VFX into filmed footage. My latest tutorial is deep dive into how to deal with them! Check it out: https://t.co/U4j9FHau1o

@YouTube Not having dislikes really really really really really sucks. A lot.

@SirWrender In this scenario, I would sometimes paint out the sun in the hdri and then add it back as a light in 3d. Not ideal but it works pretty well.

@toodee Good to know, thanks!

[Jacob J Holiday @jacobjholiday]

@toodee Hey Daniel, what color checker do you recommend for reference in stills/footage for VFX?
