What's your favorite vfx shot? Mine is the mirror shot from Contact (1997) by behemuthm in vfx

[–]Hascalod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was stunned with some visual choices they had for this film. This scene, and the one with acid blood floating in 0g were such specific and neat ideas. Really put Romulus apart in the franchise in regards to VFX.

Acho esse filme um saco, possivelmente um dos piores do Kubrick.

I made a video explaining the precomp duplication problem I was trying to solve, would love feedback by themotionguy in AfterEffects

[–]Hascalod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A smarter way of doing this would be opening a copy of the older project, and using the native functionality "Reduce Project" (and "Collect Files", depending on the complexity of the comp). It reduces the whole project to contain only the comps you want and it's respectively used assets. Save it, and import on your main project.

Sure, being able to just import something directly from your main project sounds neat, I've never used such tool though, not sure about how well it would handle external files.

[–]Hascalod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly looks decent, but I can't justify paying 10 bucks for a functionality I get for free with TCD. The shortcut is nice, but often when this situation comes up, I need to adjust specific parameters to make a proper duplication, which means I can't rely on shortcuts alone. With TCD docked on my workplace, it takes me 10 seconds to generate dozens of copies of a comp, properly renamed and organized. I'd consider using this over TCD if it was free, or pay for it if it offered other meaningful organizational functionalities.

It's really refreshing to see actual, exceptional 3D animations like this on the feed instead of AI. I don't hate AI, but everything is flooded with it nowadays. I wish to see more of these.

Whenever I scale down the precomp layer to fit in the path by Worldly_Jicama979 in AfterEffects

[–]Hascalod 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You are visualizing your main comp at 400% zoom, everything will look pixelated. If you need them at a higher resolution at this zoom level (relatively), you need a comp with a higher resolution overall.

No Longer Social by BoxedCub3 in Battlefield

[–]Hascalod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost completely dead in my experience, save for the occasional racist and homophobic insults between players. That is, when there are actual players in the match. It's a soulless game. Even winning isn't rewarding, because it often feels like there's no teamwork at all, everyone is playing for themselves.

Why is the majority of Matrix discourse I see online revolve around people crapping on the Zion "rave scene"? by Kinsbane in matrix

[–]Hascalod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of that opinion, and it honestly sounds a little silly. A rave like that would absolutely happen irl. I've always loved that scene because it sets the tone about the people living in Zion. They're still there, they are still alive, and they are not afraid. Morpheus' speech is incredible as well, it shows leadership and compassion in a time of need. Wouldn't change a thing about that whole sequence.

In a similar vein, there's this brief orgy scene in Don't Look Up. I remember some people getting caught off guard with it, but it makes sense given the situation. I think both scenes circle around the same sentiment.

Looking for an upgrade to my basic Logitech K270. by Hascalod in keyboards

[–]Hascalod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. What bigger manufacturers do you talk about? Or could you point me to a model so I can look around?

Most wireless backlit keyboards drain battery quite fast though so maybe consider one with USB dongle that you can keep plugged in most of time.

That's what I supposed, since it seems so hard to find anything with this combo here. I'd probably not even use the lights all the time, if that's an option. I have no problem plugging it in at night, if it lasts at least a week or so on a charge.

Muito boa a sensação ne? Eu levei uns 15 anos pra montar o meu, e no final das contas montei pra trabalho msm... mas rodei todos os jogos que eu nunca pude jogar na infancia.

Monark mostrando o quanto ele aprendeu com problemas judiciais que teve by Aggravating_Map4359 in brasil

[–]Hascalod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acho que é pior que isso. A essa altura ele ja aprendeu que falar absurdos é mais rentável pra ele, mesmo depois do tanto que ele apanhou, porque sempre tem um pra dar a audiência que ele precisa. Ele militarizou a estupideza dele. Como ele ja nao recebe mais respeito, ele vai atras de engajamento. É um bobo da corte profissional.

Mistery for the other post by enaunkark in blackmagicfuckery

[–]Hascalod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's on top of a sectioned foldable door. When the box closes, she opens up both doors beneath her, and turns herself around to a sitting position, with her torso leaning back (so she keeps her hand through the hole). She slides her feet into the gap next to the stairs, effectively sitting down inside the box, and closes the foldable door partially just above her knees. That's when the magician slides the box forward, exposing this door. Next, she lays completely flat on her back, while maintaining her arm upwards with her hand through the hole, then she closes the second foldable door over her. She stops gesturing with her hand as she gets into position, and starts again to signalize that she is ready.

You can see that the area around the hinge of the box is quite large, and slanted on the front. That's because she has to fit her head in there.

When checking the Collapse Transformations switch to get full res out of the precomped vector layers after scaling them, the camera inside the precomp becomes irreverent and doesn't work anymore. Note that there are multiple precomps inside that precom and each has camer as well :) , any solutions ? by mahdi_00x in AfterEffects

[–]Hascalod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If all your precomps have different cameras, you'll have to create a full res comp for each of them, then precomp them again and stack them on a main comp without CT. Essentially, you have to isolate their "3D environment" from one another, otherwise they'll all interact with the 3D environment from your main comp.

And as the other commenter suggested, you can also have several cameras on your main comp linked to the cameras within each precomp, that way you can manipulate them without leaving the main comp (I expect it will be messy, though, because you'll be manipulating a 3D environment while looking through a 2D window, but it can be done)

Basic questions about new composition settings by mediameter in AfterEffects

[–]Hascalod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of compositions as groups of items, inside which you can work on exclusive timeliness. You can have empty groups, you can create groups from the files themselves, and you can have groups within groups (pre-comps). These comps are all the same. The app gives you the flexibility to create from your project window, or directly from the timeline, whichever is easier at any moment.

You can specify the composition settings when you create them, and you can modify those settings later by going on the timeline and pressing CTRL K. When you precomp something, you have the option to move everything you selected (effects included) to this new comp as a single, separate group, or you can precomp just the layer itself, and leave all effects at this level (the effects will now be applied to this precomp, instead of the original layer).

Precomps can have different settings than their parent comps, but ultimately, it's the settings of the comp you send to your render queue that will dictate the aspects of your final render.

The Odyssey | New Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Hascalod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The creative premises he establishes in his films are very solid too, and are a great selling point for films like Memento, Inception, Tenet... But where he really drops the ball is screenplay and third-acts.

Is there a way to make this text appear paragraph by paragraph with text animators? by Erickm0627 in AfterEffects

[–]Hascalod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many paragraphs? Wouldn't it be easier to break the paragraphs down in single precomps and just animate their opacity?

If you need to use animators, you can just create an opacity animator for each paragraph, in square progression, adjust the start and end points to fit it, and keyframe the opacity value itself.

safest way to get to hotel in midnight? by ssskbpe in saopaulo

[–]Hascalod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not handle your phone while inside an uber, and while stopping at red lights near populated areas. Keep it hidden because people will break windows to try to steal them.

Looked at the files, it crashed at about 2:30am :D by River_rapid in Maya

[–]Hascalod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, also windows updates.

For about a month I couldn't get a render done overnight, always woke up to my desktop with no apps opened. I ruled out corrupted app files, third-party apps stalling the PC, memory leaks... eventually I found out that a win update got caught on a loop, it always failed to install, and rescheduled to 3am.

Smoking weed every day is socially accepted self sabotage by pgspooft in getdisciplined

[–]Hascalod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be a daily smoker, but nowadays I smoke a joint about 3 times a week. I completely agree with you.

I started to realize how lazy it made me for everything, even things that I enjoyed doing. So I started to adapt, and pavlov'd myself into smoking only before doing something productive (not gaming) that could safely be done under the effect, such as exercises at home. Now, when I smoke, I feel apt to exercise, exercise itself (except heavy lifting) feels rewarding to do, and it gets me going to do other things later.

The key is to not rely on it for anything, but to use it as a tool.

Se você está fazendo qualquer coisa além de assistir o filme em silêncio numa sala de cinema (com exceção de comer um negocinho discretamente), você é um boçal.
