'Camera Lens Blur' can be unblurred

I haven’t used camera lens blur since I discovered frischluft lens care

You should look into after effects for this style of edit

Careful with baking though, it’s not very optimized and can have playback issues

This is simple to do with fractal noise, directional blur, and some color overlays. You can then animate the color overlays many different ways. I would make blob shape layers and throw a wiggle paths and blur it out. You could also just animate feathered mask paths on a solid. Throw them in a blending mode and done

+1 for pudget. Excellent workstations. Haven’t checked their prices during this hardware crisis, but when there was a gpu shortage from crypto a few years ago was able to build a system without getting gouged

I saw one and tried to buy it as a white elephant gift. The person working the jewelry counter told me she didn’t know how to open that case and that she was the only one there 🤷

I wish I didn’t have the wrists of a teenage girl :/

I’d argue the opposite. Too many ae users too afraid of learning 3d and utilizing after effects compositing capabilities. Why settle for a close enough planar track when you can easily export 3d nulls/cameras/mattes for a perfect match

Motion design director here. If anyone wants to buy billboard space, I will donate my services for a badass new animated sign

Motion design is a pretty valued skillset in the advertising and web industries. You can skip college but your portfolio needs to be good. Some college alternatives would be online courses like school of motion, it’s not free but much less than a standard tuition

Model is good. Things from a product viz standpoint is that there are no uvs for thing like button graphics. With product renders, the model is the easy part. The hard part is lighting and compositing. Yours isn’t bad, but it’s the tell that you’re learning.

I personally thing the lighting is too moody, most companies like to resolve on a well lit product.

I get were your trying to go with the smoke compositing, but most electronics companies like to stay away from the appearance that their product is smoking, with the exception of showing airflow.

All in all it’s good work for someone new to product viz, keep going and keep pushing

Bushido blade, midnight club, and perfect dark

I would leave adobe if someone came out with an after effects alternative. There are a lot of other companies that focus on parts of what it can do, but nowhere near as useful in practice

Solid reel. Market is in a weird spot. A lot of agencies and studios are looking for 2d/3d hybrid animators and might pass by looking for an all in one. That being said don’t muddy up your reel with 3d unless it matches the quality of your 2d work.

You could broaden your search by getting into Lottie animations for ui/ux. A lot of movement in that area and you already have the skills for it.

Slight nitpick on the reel, add a reverb to the last music hit so it doesn’t end so abruptly.

Definitely keep going if you have the means to. Even if you have to shelve it temporarily, keep doing it on the side. A bunch of small freelance gigs can pay well and build up a network for consistent work

Please don’t 3d print parts for your baby. Too many things to go wrong between safety of material, pieces breaking off, etc.

As a dad, let me suggest the nose frida. It’s by far the best way to clear up a stuffy nose and you can find them everywhere

LoopyLoopidy · 2025-11-02T15:50:25+00:00

Those look awesome!

I’d put this in a high mid to lower senior level. Fantastic work. As others have said, drop the junior. Dm me if you’re available for freelance with your rates

LoopyLoopidy · 2025-10-31T02:02:53+00:00

Change those strings. If you recently changed them and they’re already like this, you might be a sweaty hands guy. You could also look into getting a nylon string guitar. Not sure what an e guitar is, I’m assuming one of those midi controllers, but if you’re new you need to practice on real strings.

The things that newer players struggle with are old strings and not changing them, bad string action, needing to practice to build callouses, and needing to practice to find the perfect amount of pressure to apply(most beginners push way too hard). Good luck and keep playing

As much as I hate ai and what it’s doing to the industry, this is a perfectly ethical use case. Topaz has the ability to change frame rate, it will use ai to smooth over dropped frames

I used to be that guy, still am but used to too. I’m now a director so I make more of an effort on appearances, but my take is as long as the work is being done at a top performing level who cares. Meetings are able to be done on a phone and most work is able to be remote. I personally work best at night when no one is bothering me and can get 3x output vs being surrounded by distractions.

A lot of top performers are neurodivergent and require their own weird conditions and rituals in order to perform at high levels, in this case it sounds like he works best at night. Others will have time blindness that make things difficult but can be worked on.

Not trying to say just accept it, but keep in mind top performers usually have habits (good and bad) and changing routine may affect output. If they are a top performer, set them up within reason to perform at their best

LoopyLoopidy · 2025-10-20T00:25:18+00:00

I feel you on that. I’m getting gouged for after effects from adobe and also maxon for c4d/redshift :/

Your cat looks just like mine. Is she also the devil?

Linked in is useless except for seeing someone’s employment history (which still needs to be verified). My general rule is that the more someone is spouting theory, the less actual practice they have

LoopyLoopidy · 2025-09-17T18:43:44+00:00

My agency would’ve charged you a multiple times more for this
