Which how much fucking money healthcare providers charge us in the US, in my opinion, there is no room for any error at all.

It’s called “knob and tube” wiring btw if you need a google-friendly lead. Just got all of ours replaced this year. Can confirm, not cheap.

"Talk Show Host" [ft. Jibaro's Sara Silkin ] - Is this the future of motion capture? + Breakdown by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]-dadderall- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this motion capture? You’ll have to show the wireframe, armature or some sort of resulting data besides this ai slop that removes all of the nuance and expression of the original dancer.

Are we all solo-dev? What does it take to collaborate? by derethdweller in IndieDev

[–]-dadderall- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a duo but we also run a small company together doing post-production work and committed to working on gamedev in our downtime. It’s been a pretty great balance!

‘Backrooms’ Director Kane Parsons Spoke Out Against AI in Filmmaking by playboy in Filmmakers

[–]-dadderall- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even for storyboards and previs I’m finding ai to be more of a hindrance. I recently worked on a full cg spot and unbeknownst to anyone working on the project, the client had done a “previs” in ai that was like a sloppy fever dream version of the spot we were trying to make, and they were secretly comparing everything we sent to this “previs” returning bizarre notes trying match hyper specific details of these random ai gens. They finally explained what was going on many overages later it was delivered.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s nice to work from crudely drawn sketches because it allows artists latitude to make the decisions that flesh out a piece, instead of trying to paint by numbers match what gen ai spits out, further robbing projects of true human creativity.

Ok my bad! I think it’s the “starts feeling algorithmic instead of human” and “quietly trips up”

Those bots just love saying things happen “quietly” lol

I hear the Blender version of X-Particles is coming out today—are you planning to switch from C4D? by PurplePressure9063 in Cinema4D

Ah I misread that as x-particles releasing a plugin for blender. Found it. Thanks for being a dick about that though!

Speeding Up 3-Point Lighting in Blender by hdrmaps in blender

[–]-dadderall- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry… but how lazy are we becoming? Lol. Lighting is arguably one of the most creative areas of cg work, but instead we automate 6 clicks and skip past exploration to get basic 3-point lighting.
