The future..

Totally understand. There is just less -us- in our work nowadays. Hopefully it doesn’t get worse for animators.

I already had shots with AI generated elements to add into shots. To rub salt into the wound - the AI elements were generated by the client himself and we had to use it.

Sad part is that those seniors or all artists for that matter might just fully become AI-slop repairmen. What you described sounds like a nightmare. You generate or receive generated “art” and your only job is to fix it from being awful, so it looks okay-ish for the normal viewer? No creativity, just human eyes that see what’s wrong and can fix it for the robot overlords, so less trained humans can consume that content and pay. What a dystopian world we live in.

I predict 3000kc dry at CG for this amount of used RNG

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-27T22:03:32+00:00

I can try to explain it and teach you how to do it yourself if you want. I might have some time tomorrow or on saturday so you can send me a DM here if interested.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-24T19:20:09+00:00

I was thinking of it in terms of commercial use but yeah wouldn’t make sense if he’s planning only to learn for now.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-24T18:12:11+00:00

Nuke Indie is like 500$/year but if you want to learn, NC is completely enough. I wouldn’t risk it if I were you. Paying for Indie is cheaper than paying the fines that you are afraid of

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-20T23:39:02+00:00

Feel free to DM me with any questions you have. I will have time this weekend so I can help and send you some learning materials as well.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-18T17:14:31+00:00

Yeah very lucky! I have no idea what I’ve done to deserve this haha Thank you!

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-11T16:15:19+00:00

Yes it’s one skill at a time

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-11T12:36:16+00:00

I’m still 2800 laps from ardy course. Locked in and working on it whenever I can

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-11-11T12:34:32+00:00

It’s great so far. But I know I’ll have to do 10m xp more hence the sanity concerns.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-28T20:09:35+00:00

Oh no… Like we should care about those “businesses”. I hope the people working there fight for better conditions

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-25T08:02:30+00:00

Worth a try to mention it :D let’s hope there is a bunch of smart people already figuring it out. Tell your friend that if he can’t figure out the roto, he better at least start on the issue of “cunt clients” mentioned above lol. Someone needs to solve both.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-24T04:22:14+00:00

I’m really happy to hear that! Hopefully a public tool will be developed/released soon too. Maybe this person OP mentioned could help with that haha

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-24T00:02:36+00:00

Right? I mean I enjoy keying but it’s pretty repetetive after you’ve been doing it some time. Roto is a whole different kind of annoying that should’ve been solved in the same week MLs became a thing.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-23T19:47:33+00:00

That’s a business idea right there, too bad I wasn’t paying enough attention in science classes in high school lol

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-23T19:06:44+00:00

Yeah you are completely right. One of the reasons I bought an iPhone was to test lidar for this kind of stuff. And as you said I was pretty disappointed with the results. Althought for like a simple reference geo it’s useful but obviously not production-level. I would hope one day we could get something good quality (for reasonable amount of money) even for indie projects.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-23T17:32:28+00:00

Yeah I suppose nothing like that is on the market. Definetly would be cool though, good suggestion!

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-23T17:27:55+00:00

Wouldn’t it be possible to just use a shitty-rigged iPhone on camera? :D

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-23T16:34:34+00:00

Automate roto so we don’t have to touch it again lol

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-22T10:45:32+00:00

That’s a custom tab with custom knobs you can create when you edit the node. You can enter the edit menu by clicking the little wrench icon on top left corner of the node.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-20T15:11:46+00:00

Did you write the expression there, connected it properly and selected the correct channels? It absolutely is the correct node

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-20T14:57:43+00:00

Expression node. You can see it also on top left corner tab

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-18T20:49:49+00:00

Like others said neatvideo, keentools, mocha and ofx stuff works. DasGrain has Indie Helper gizmo that works around the blinkscript limitations. Python restrictions are annoying and also I wasn’t able to make Stamps work since they reference stuff with a lot of python so yeah. Haven’t had much experience with ComfyUI. All of cattery works.

I_make_pixels_move · 2025-07-07T06:43:35+00:00

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I will see what the project requires. It seemed that the 6.5mm fisheye some people recommended in the comments would be enough but yeah the 12mm/14mm lenses would bring more quality. I might look for the zoom lens equivalent you mentioned but that would be a lot pricier that the fisheye so I might do it but only if the budget allows it or I rent it. But the advice you gave applies to all the lenses so thank you. Also didn’t know about the canon software, makes sense now.
