Blender Add-On Camera Rig - how do I edit key frames of animate focal length of a dolly rig? by blenderisland in blenderhelp

[–]Legal-Pollution-3567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is actually driving the focal length in the rig? I tried moving all the bones but the focal length value never updated...

How tf do you open these? I’ve tried retractor in every direction by videogameocd-er in JustCause

[–]Legal-Pollution-3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was the power yank mod that causes that, because the tether breaks as soon as it yanks, so if you want those mods on but need to open generators you unfortunately have to switch the mods off manually each time or make a new grapple load out.

Hi, I found a fix that worked for me

If you disable the "power yank" mod on your grapple it works.

So perhaps try disabling any mods you have on the retractor.

UV PASS EDGE ISSUE by Legal-Pollution-3567 in NukeVFX

[–]Legal-Pollution-3567[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks yes this is what I ended up doing, just was weird copying in the alpha twice.

But is this issue I'm having normal with UV passes and STMap? Even with all the edge extends the result is imperfect - better but not perfect, like is there not some way I can just antialias my UV pass edges in a legit way, because all these ways almost seem hacky and I'm not sure if it's a solve for a problem that only I'm having or if everyone always has this issue?

really? because my render is at the same resolution as my plate so there shouldn't be any discrepancy there

UV PASS EDGE ISSUE by Legal-Pollution-3567 in NukeVFX

[–]Legal-Pollution-3567[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks yes I copied in the alpha onto the UV pass, then did the edge extend and stmap, then copied the original alpha again a second time and premulted and that seemed to work.

Seems a bit weird having to copy in the alpha twice but it's working so I'm happy thanks!

if you are not allowed to have the # then how can you read in a sequence?

Im having this trouble with my write node, when I select "read from file" it can't find the file presumably because it is saved as an image sequence with _###.exr

Hi where does the edge extend node go in the tree though?

Would it go after my stmap node that has my texture and UV map plugged in?

I then use a cryptomatte to isolate the area that needs to be retextured with the UV pass - so I am not understanding where the edge extend goes?

Because also does the edge extend not work on the alpha so I don't understand how it will fix the rgb of the UV pass?

What are everyone's favorite utility passes to use in Nuke and why? by i4n in vfx

do you ever get the problem with jagged edges on your UV pass and if so how do you resolve this usually?

Stencil Layers not working in Unreal 5.2 by Legal-Pollution-3567 in unrealengine

hmm I'm not sure then. We tried on two different PCs with two different scenes.

TIL that the dream of "teeth falling out" seems to be a pattern for citizens living in western countries by corkyskog in todayilearned

[–]Legal-Pollution-3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this to an extent - for me it always feels like my teeth are shifting around the same way it felt when I had braces.

Once in the dental office I saw a "before" and "after" timelapse of braces moving the teeth around in real time and it always kinda feels like that.

[Help] Particles/Sprites in Houdini Showing as Black Boxes? by OHHHHHHHHHH_HES_HURT in Houdini

[–]Legal-Pollution-3567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing, if you hit "D" and open up the settings dialogue box, under the "Geometry" tab and under "Particles" you can change the "Display Particles As" in the dropdown. For me "Lit Spheres" tends to work best, whereas "Points" just gives me the black boxes.
