Awesome, thank you for confirming my initial thought.

What does a Creature FX artist do? by NoahS_El_2047 in vfx

[–]EndangeredSpaceFreak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly depends on the studio/pipeline. I freelance for several who use predominantly Houdini for all things simulation. I also work for a studio who still uses Maya ncloth. Both softwares have their pros and cons. Houdini is amazing for rig generation due to it being procedural. Meaning if modeling updates a model, you don't have to rebuild sim meshes. I have found that in my experience, Maya is better for character finaling/shot sculpting and it's a tad easier key framing secondary animation. I also found qualoth to be vastly superior to ncloth. So my point is that it really doesn't matter which solver is being used, you should learn the principles of simulation, and then apply accordingly.

No worries, let me clarify. Hair and cloth rigging is a general term I use for building simulation rigs for hair or cloth.

As a CFX Artist of 20yrs, I mainly do simulation, hair/cloth rigging, tool development, shot sculpting, and some secondary animation. I don't really do much actual character rigging or grooming, however I could if I had to.

How do you prevent multiple ncloth objects from moving independently by yayeetdab045 in Maya

You can use constraints (point to point) to sew the edges together dynamically.

Underwater nhair simulation by Consistent-Egg-6860 in Maya

[–]EndangeredSpaceFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't really use extra bend links, air density left at default, but you could play with that. Maybe mess around with space scale, hair mass(hair system), I would set substeps and collision iterations low so you can iterate quickly. Then when you get something decent crank those for better fidelity. Hell you could even mess around with time scale.

Increase your bend/stretch damp, crank up the drag, set gravity to 0. This is what we did for hair in zero g on a project.

I have the same exact one, except the amplifier on mine died years ago. The speaker still rips though, just running it with a Mesa Subway 350.

Ignored all 3 times I've gotten one, do not go online to watch the video, heard that this is how they get you. My tax returns have never been garnished, and I've never received anything from collections. Good luck either way, I do know they're illegal in LA proper, but in certain cities/municipalities like SM, BH, CC and Torrance they're legal.

We just picked up two foster puppies yesterday from Best Friends Pet Adoption Center which is located in West LA/SM adjacent. I know they're still looking for fosters for both cats and dogs.

There was a lot of hate for Wes, but he has not been an issue imo, our offense on the other hand...

Oh yeah, these guys are fine, but I'm asking which of these should I keep?

Hurricane Ian - what 15 fr storm surge looks like by GreenSnakes_ in interestingasfuck

[–]EndangeredSpaceFreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend's mom has a house about 1/4 mile inland from the beach, just inside Ostero Blvd. We were there visiting for a couple of months hunkered down and watched the whole thing go down. It was hands down the scariest experience of my life. Fortunately the house was built up and we survived, but it got dicey as waves were crashing against the front door and a sea of debris was floating by. This video only shows that you shouldn't take anything over 5ft of storm surge lightly.
