What is the equivalent in #vfx of the unforgivable sin of using your mom's good fabric scissors to cut anything but fabric?

Tonight we'll be continuing "MOPs Mondays"! We're going to look at how to use MOPs within the dynamics context of #Houdini. Join the stream at 6pm ET tonight. This series of streams will be helpful for any motion graphics people that want to get their feet wet in Houdini. Bring your questions and ideas!

Oh yes! @kdenlive has introduced multiple sequences/timelines in a single project. This is a fantastic addition and something I know of lot of the editors I have worked with always want!

Sadly all those editors are blindly obsessed with premiere. Ergh adobe 🤢

I am actually curious now about writing my own addons for kdenlive 🤔

Work in progress VFX. There something about particles that's just...

As I've posted that Captain Dissilusion video, here's a little secret: I made a paintout video tutorial for #Fusion years ago (11 years according to youtube 🙀 ). It was so much more work than I expected due to white-balancing so I actually had to solve that problem as well. And there were Fusion bugs I needed to work around.

I am beyond EXCITED about this work https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/79527

Since this will be probably merged soon, please do give it a test! That way we can spot and correct bugs or compatibility breakage (which shouldn't occur) #GodotEngine #VFX

Do you know what "rubber duck debugging (RDD)" is?

Join the stream on Mondays in Sept. for #MOPsMondays! We'll be using the @motionoperators tools to create some #Houdini fun. Tomorrow (9/4) we'll be live at 6pm ET. Hope to see you there.

More #altale #gamedev gifs! Added a WIP dust effect to the dungeon level.

On a side note, does anybody know a good source website for #vfx ? The issue is that current dust effect looks nice only in 1-2 rooms, and I need something similar but with a more uniform base (not pictured: multiple faint galaxies flying by)

For those who work in a #vfx #pipeline #techArt (we really need a standard hashtag for TDs...), do you have a standardized framework for publishing?

Latest #VFX Artist Reacts about ‘The Flash’ is brutal but fair. You just can’t get cheap, quick and great together. https://www.corridordigital.com/

If you do publicity for a movie, please don't downplay the contributions of your #VFX team.

It may not feel as glamorous or feel like you "cheated" to make the movie. But what we do is as integral to the filmmaking process these days as cinematography, make up, and music, editing, and writing. Without us, many films cannot be made, or would be too expensive or unsafe to make well.

Here is an informative Hollywood Reporter article about it: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/oppenheimer-mission-impossible-vfx-1235579422/

Opinions about portfolio websites? I seriously can’t be bothered coding my own. I tried Wordpress, too much hassle and options. I want basic, simple and quick. Will need to be able to host videos. The two I’m currently testing are below. #design #GraphicDesign #type #Typography #logo #branding #VFX

Tonight at 8pm ET we're going to talk about #MOPs. Bring your questions and thoughts for me to tackle in some upcoming streams. I want to hear what you're interested in learning! Also, a fun bonus stream is coming next month.

I've also added a "Past Streams" section to https://www.HoudiniHangout.com so you can find all of the streams in order in another place.

World Space based UVs in Godot 4.x are not very intuitive. @QbieShay helped me to get it running, so I documented it here: https://youtu.be/VW79GPI9b6s

So one of #SouthAfrica's oldest #vfx & #animation studios closed its doors this month, in part due to the #SAGAFTRA and #WAG strikes forcing studios like #netflix who were already cutting back on shows to cut back even further!

I know it wont help my industry but a big part of me wants to #BoycottStreamingPlatforms in part to squeeze them, but also as a show of #support to those striking. Imagine how 3-4 months loss of income would make these platforms wake up!
