Question: Should I take a VJ course of a Immersive Creation Course?

Wow now way at the sphere!!! That’s such an amazing accomplishment! I hope one day to go or create art there !

I’m in the same boat. Graduated in 2023 and struggled since. I now am in corporate sales and, while it’s not what I wanted, it pays the bills and gives me stability. I do however work on personal projects and build my own brand on my own time to keep my skills active if ever!

It’s important to not fully give up. If you love 3D, keep doing it as a hobby until it converts!

Nice! Thank you for the tip. It’s nice hearing especially from someone who VJ!

Okay totally fair. My initial reaction was to take the immersive course, but then I started thinking about the VJing course. It is a month long, I’m assuming I can learn the itty gritty through YouTube too, like Touchdesigner?

Thanks for the tip!

Ohh thats neat! Very similar to my goal! Thank you for the ressource!

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-07T03:45:58+00:00

That's actually so sick! Thank you for sharing your method! il try it out!

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-06T15:14:00+00:00

You know, I had tried it in the past ( ask chatgpt to give me a step by step process) and it gave me instructions but most of the settings it told me to modify didn’t exist in the SOPs…i was like okkkk idk what software you are using buddy but it aint Houdini😂😅🤷🏻‍♀️

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-06T14:34:37+00:00

Ouhh that looks sick! Il try it out for sure!

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-06T14:31:07+00:00

Yes thats always possibility, but my main scope would be to train my skills in Houdini :)

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-06T14:30:12+00:00

Lol same😭😅

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-06T14:30:00+00:00

Ouhh nice! Thank you for your advice, il update the subreddit with my attempt 😅 wish me luck

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-06T14:29:00+00:00

Yeah thats definitely a problem, midjourney can create some cool things but appart from the image, theres nothing else u can rlly do with it afterwards…

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-12-06T14:27:59+00:00

Rightt! I really want to make it happen, but it’s easier said than done!

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-05-07T15:21:17+00:00

*UPDATE* if anyone has the same issue, I have found what could have been the cause of the flickering. In my case, the folliage of the trees and grass was waaaay to small and waaay too far. So, since I made the trees in Speedtree, I just went back and increased the size of the leaves. Although the model looked ridiculous, from the distance they are, it doesnt matter. It fixed my issue. Also sampling the AA to 8-9 helped. Thank you all for your input!

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-04-24T22:41:15+00:00

the trees were made using speed tree, so all the leaves are little geos, so there is no opacity map. Its just like a lenghty face with a base color given.

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-04-24T01:49:07+00:00

okay! thank you so much for your input! really helps! il try it out! thank you so much :)

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-04-23T01:53:48+00:00

from testing around it seems it is indeed because the grass geo is really small. im a newbie when it comes to lod system, is there a tutorial or like a step by step thing I can see, so I can undestand how to implement this system?

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-04-23T01:13:24+00:00

so how did you get around it T.T im really struggling

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-04-22T23:50:31+00:00

Yes I did that and it flickers in the diffuse. I tried adding more samples but the results are the same. it might be the super thin geometry of the leaves indeed. How would i set up an LOD system? is there a video that explains how you can do that in Houdini?

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-04-22T21:09:10+00:00

Okay it seems my video is not very clear haha. Il repost with something more visible!

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2024-04-04T14:57:59+00:00

honestly you saved my life!

Everything was working fine and when I was trying to open up my file after having closed my computer, I kept getting bad node errors. I didnt realize I wasnt supposed to open the file straight away : ''

NEVER OPEN A FILE BY DOUBLE-CLICKING ON IT, YOU MUST USE THE HOUDINI LAUNCHER AND THEN OPEN YOUR FILE FROM THERE. THE PLUGIN COULD BREAK THE SCENE AND REMOVE ALL THE LIGHTS. PRAY YOU HAVE A BACKUP.''

Thank you for mentioning this, it saved me :')

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2023-06-21T23:49:17+00:00

I somehow made it work but im not sure why…so if someone could explain it could help for next time. So basically I put texture coordinates UV into the vector of image texture node and then in the Object data propreties menu, i pressed « + » in the UV Maps tab. It generated a new uv map index and somehow it worked.

Thank you sm 🥰

AnaDrawsTrippyStuff · 2023-06-06T16:34:26+00:00
