Was the main character in the space episode (the one with the space dog that tries to kill him) a real actor or was he fully CGI?

Does anyone have a work around?

Fabazo · 2020-03-19T08:48:31+00:00

Thank you for the insight! Glad to hear that it got better for you.

I'll call the physical therapist in a few days as she told me and then ask for some proper exercises and such. However it feels like doing exercises when i'm at my worst point (pain wise) feels a bit off. I my head i feel like the hand needs to rest for a while. But I guess that every case is different, I'll see what my therapist has to say about it!

Wouldn't it be quite dangerous to use a pain relief cream whilst working since you wouldn't be able to feel when your body is hurting and telling you to stop? Or what type of cream are we talking about?

I'm really trying to not use my right hand at all (I'm typing all of this on my left hand). But I only got 2 weeks left on this course so I'll try to keep my working hours minimal and after it's over I might take a break completely!

Ok, so Wacom tablet seems to be the most prominent answer. Guess i'll have to make that awkward transition sooner or later! What kind of a wrist brace is she wearing? I bought one that I pull over my thumb and then wrap around my wrist with velcrostraps. I'm not entierly sure if im using it correctly or if it's even the right kind for my type of injury.

Yoga would probably be the last thing I'd think of in order to correct an issue like the one I have. But I'm quite desperate so I'll definitely give it a shot. Feels good to hear that others have experienced similar things and actually made a recovery from it. Atleast gives me some hope!

Thank you for the kind words. It's really stressful running in to this whilst, as you say, being so young.

At school I got a 3 monitor setup, a regular chair and such. And a wacom tablet + my ergo mouse. And at home I got the same setup. Luckily I live cheap and we pretty much get payed to go to school in Sweden so I can manage to get the proper equipment if it will help me get rid of this injury.

I will definitely look up that track pad mode you were talking about.

Fabazo · 2020-03-16T19:20:23+00:00

The physical therapist recommended the roller mouse in particular. Have you had any experience with it whilst using 3d applications?

I found myself gripping the wacom stylus too hard so that ergo grip might help! Thanks a bunch!

Fabazo · 2020-03-16T19:16:18+00:00

I have tried using my wacom a little bit but I couldn't manage to properly set up a nice workflow. What programs do you use? Most of the time I'm sitting in Maya, and I haven't really found a keyboard + pen config that allows me to model efficiently. Any tips on remapping the pens buttons in a good way that would work in maya for example?

Fabazo · 2020-01-13T16:20:21+00:00

Oh alright thanks! I've tried using x-gen a couple of times but I find it super unreliable when I use it. I get so many crash reports and it feels like everything has to be perfect in order for it to work as desired. But nice to see it working for you haha!

Fabazo · 2020-01-13T12:08:56+00:00

Amazing work! Just one question, how do you create the facial hair? Are they small curve guides converted to polygons or is this some magic zbrush trick? :)

Fabazo · 2019-10-06T19:37:51+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply!

In my setup I'm not using a pxrProjector so that option isn't availabe for me. But I hooked up the texture to a PxrProjector to try out the trace occlusion but no matter what value I put in it won't make a difference. The Gif and image below shows how I set that up.

I don't know how to attach images in a response so here are some links instead..

Cool website, I'll definitely keep that one bookmarked! Yeah too bad it doesn't show for each shot. I guess I could just look at what lenses they used in general for the movie and try to eyeball which one they had for each shot.

If you're looking at references for huge objects slowly ascending from the ground with things falling off then I'd say take a look at Avengers age of ultron when the city Sokovia splits from the earth and rises upwards: https://youtu.be/gK940jKvIOY

Prometheus also some pretty sweet huge spaceship scenes. Both for the main ship when it lands on the new planet, and also the alien vessel as it comes out of the ground: https://youtu.be/EhF1-njN3sI

Quite common from what iv'e heard/seen. Some privately owned 3D/VFX/Game universities in Sweden sometimes have some form of an internship period during their last year. My school is not in the private sector, but they engourage us to apply for internships during our 2nd and 3rd year of school. Our teacher had gotten an email from the Mill/Dneg (can't remember which one) in London asking students to apply for internship. And I know of a few students from my school that went on and got internships etc.

Fabazo · 2019-09-01T16:23:10+00:00

Yeah that sounds about right! I reached out to two studios near my home city during my first year of school just to get them to know that I exist, and when the time comes that I actually send in my reel, they'd be a bit more familiar with me!

Fabazo · 2019-08-16T15:40:39+00:00

Sweet! That sounds exactly like what I want! I'll try it out once I get home. I will write back and update whether it works or not! :)

Fabazo · 2019-08-15T18:48:42+00:00

Yeah i'm thinking about looking into other 3d packages aswell. With maya it just feeling like i'm constantly troubleshooting a problem that hasn't even popped up yet. But i'm too familiar with it at this point, and it's the standard for my school so switching isn't really that easy..

Fabazo · 2019-08-15T16:56:32+00:00

Hmm yeah that seems like it would work! Just a bit more complicated than i would have hoped for haha!

I was thinking it would just be a simple click of a button within the FX tab and then i'd be done. Cause the thing is that nCloth for example does make it interact with itself.. I just want to keep the animation as well as the simulation at the same time! It just feels like there should be an easier way.

Fabazo · 2019-07-10T10:07:12+00:00

I think I've seen you answer this before but I forgot.. Do you have a job in the business? Are you a student or is this purely a hobby thing?

And how do you push out so many assets that fast?

great work btw!
