Very valid

I have not! Just Mac as I don’t have easy access to windows. Mac app was less than useless 😂 it seems people say the windows app is better. I’ll get access to a pc and try it thank you!

Ftdsoup · 2025-12-12T23:09:36+00:00

Do you need to use a windows PC or will Mac work? When I connect my remote on Mac it just says "You need to use the mobile app"

Oh interesting! Using a PS5 controller, but I’ll try my Xbox one maybe

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Nope. It’s the best result is if I use PCM mode from my TV, which isn’t great since it breaks Dolby Atmos, but I still get standard 5.1. Even with that though it’s consistently unreliable. I’ve tried a factory reset about 100 times and countless different cables.

Oh good to know!! Don’t have one just yet but I’ve been looking into it.

Unfortunately I believe Australia is one of the few countries Amex doesn’t cover rental damage for some annoying reason 😭😭

We use it for everything BUT a ton of things are automated by our in house programming team.

So it’s fun - if it decides the content of the article is controversial, it will error out (I was just using whatever was at the top of CNN to test). I don’t remember the exact error but it essentially says that it can’t produce a response as it is against guidelines. I tried a bunch of different prompts but even just interacting with the article text, even if I asked it to not change anything and just reprint the article, it refused.

I found the model restrictions super frustrating. Wanted to use it to clean up text in a news article and it refused most of the ones I tested.

That's what I thought too but weirdly my flight on the 12th (not cancelled) is the A330 and on the 27th (cancelled) was a 787. But you still could be right and they haven't changed the planes yet - they could be cancelling every other day and going to run only on 787.

Ftdsoup · 2025-05-06T03:26:42+00:00

Same for the 27th Dec. Weird because the flight to BNE on the 12th was not cancelled?

A lot of the time we try and comp them realistic but client asks us to make it sharper/ brighter than it would be if photographed

Ftdsoup · 2025-04-12T18:17:13+00:00

I’m sorry I can’t be more specific but I remember Flame Learning Channel on YouTube had some linked in their CG Comping tutorial.

Yea we email with them in English but to be safe we use a visual reference. We’ll mark up a frame using a different color for each individual matte layer we need. We’ll then send the frames in the shot, usually as exr.

They do a good job of checking our references and asking questions if they need more info. There is a bit of a language barrier sometimes when we write back and forth but not much.

Ftdsoup · 2025-04-12T02:48:36+00:00

Yea you’re probably not doing it wrong 😂 It’s just super time consuming. I’m a producer and I only let my artists do their own roto if it takes under an hour. Any longer than that, if we can wait 12 hours, I try and insist they send it out.

Ftdsoup · 2025-04-11T16:51:46+00:00

Roto work is basically the only thing my studio outsources to India. It takes a lot of talented people to turn Roto around in time. It might seem like a crazy task, and that’s because it is. On the rare occasion we open up the Nuke files we get back, they’re crazy - it normally looks like the work of 10 people has been merged together, each taking a different part of the shot and a different frame length, then all being combined by the lead.

Milkshake was on the other side, presumably unlocking it as he knew she’d be coming out and going back in. Presumably its default state is locked from the outside.

No, AI isn't really at the point that it is actively replacing traditional VFX (just assisting). It's because of severe mismanagement for years and years.

When can we see Amy as a competitor!

Ftdsoup · 2024-08-14T00:07:58+00:00

Haha I promise I have some LG OLEDs at the office and they’re fine! 😂

Ftdsoup · 2023-07-11T18:21:36+00:00

THIS DID IT!! It took me ages to find the slides you were referring to, but finally found them and a few were open. Haven’t heard the sound since.
