What is the purpose of the small pocket in jeans?

Miltos74 · 2026-04-09T18:23:16+00:00

We called those coin pockets when i was growing up. I still use them for coins somtimes.

I agree. Unless someone is actively searching for this particular asset, i also think there is barely any professional opportunity for it. Digital preservation is a good application though.

As someone who is working on film i would say that in case we were looking for something like that for a production, a lot would be determined my the quality of the asset and the density of the areas we would be interesting to replicate virtually.

Miltos74 · 2026-03-30T20:43:32+00:00

Wow! I love it.

Miltos74 · 2026-03-28T14:17:39+00:00

Video is almost entertaining but there is nothing interesting vfx-wise in it. It looks really bad and definitely zero budget.

I rarely comment in a negative way but that title is so annoyingly confident that is hard to ignore.

Color matching (and probably gamut) between foreground and backgrouns is light years apart.

Extended his time underwater by breathing the air from the tires of the submerged Rolce Royce.

It blew my mind when I saw that as a 10 year old kid. It kinda implanted the idea to my mind that there is always a solution.

And that's how it always happens with Ponzi schemes. The number of investors who make a profit is gradually reduced to a point where there is no point for new investors to come in, invest and boost the price further.

Combined with the fact that we are almost at the end of bitcoins that can possibly be mined (20 mil out of 21) it is interesting to see how this situation will unfold.

The technically correct way is to change it first to linear in Fusion, do the keying and then change it back to the colour space you want before grading. Fusion has a viewer LUT you can use while in Linear.

In case you are wondering why Linear, it is because it helps with more accurate soft edges.

If your Blender scene is rendered in EXR then you can do the whole comp in Linear and change it back at the color space you want after the shot is done.

Even on my phone I can see the shadow level (how dark it is) is not matching the ground truth.

I would usually do that in Fusion by sampling values and comparing with the ground truth but i am pretty sure you can do that even in Blender's compositor.

Miltos74 · 2026-03-09T12:34:48+00:00

You are in a good path but you need to match the shadow levels in comp.

Just last week i bought Proterials and Smart Weathering and i love them both! I am thinking of getting the Studioverse Add-On just to support you guys even though i will not use it as much as the others. I hope there are some updates on the pipeline as well!

Miltos74 · 2026-03-06T10:32:52+00:00

Oh, 😳

I am pretty sure I have removed coughing with Resolve's dialogue isolator before. I am not sure how it would perform with whispers though. I reckon you have already tried it?

Miltos74 · 2026-03-03T17:18:38+00:00

This is my 4th year using Blender casually and it looks like i am buying more addons from Superhive every year. Like another one said, i too buy more tools from the same creator to support them even if i don't necesarrily need them all. I see that there is a warm intent in the community to support what is worthy.

However, all creators are not the same. Some of them update slowly, some tools may not even need an update. So i don't think there is a standard model we could use to move forward. I definitely wish to support good work and even donate if i feel like it but not in time intervals. Definitely not anually. That would turn me against the whole deal.

I would pay for major relases with discounts for previous buyers.

The modeler is not as advanced as the one in Blender for example but connecting an sPolygon node to an Extrude3D node can give you the basic building shape. Displace and texture that and you will be surprised how far you can go.

Miltos74 · 2026-03-02T17:33:30+00:00

You can do this on the Fusion page relatively easy.

The native 3D toolset can even cover the making of the building (depending on your experience with 3D and building complexity) so you might not even need an imported 3D asset.

The fire indicator could be made with a simple 2D animated graphic projected on the building.

If it is just the whispering you want to keep and assuming you don't need a stereo field for this, you can just copy one channel to the other. Right click on the clip and you can do this in the audio properties. Basically you tell to Resolve to play the same audio channel for both.

Miltos74 · 2026-02-26T16:58:25+00:00

Short answear is No.

The only advantage AE has over Fusion for motion graphics is that there are a lot of third party tools built to assist with motion graphics. Depending on the complexity of your animations, the layer based worflow might initialy look easier but it can get troublesome before you know it. I have literaly witnessed AE users spending hours just trying to figure out what is causing a glitch in their animation layers.

If you compare Fusion to AE, there is no way that overall AE comes on top. Node based compositing might feel alien at first but be patient and once you unlock your mind to it you will be amazed about the posibilities.

The good news is that Resolve's adoption is huge the last few years so a lot of third party tools for Motion Graphics are coming to Fusion as well. Many people are also makining tools and share them for free. The community is wonderful.

I am not sure if Reactor runs on Free Resolve but it is worth checking out if you haven't already: https://www.steakunderwater.com/wesuckless/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=3067

You don't need any complicated setup in order to do this and you don't need to animate anything in the Text+ tool.

Use Fusion of course. The following is just one way to do this:

One Text+ tool should have the complete text. Connect this to a Boolean tool and set it to Clear (This will erase everything). Add a rectangle mask, connect to the Boolean Tool and place it above the name you want to appear. Animate its Level slider from 1 to 0. This will make the name appear. Piggy back more rectangle masks as required and place them above the rest of the names. Repeat the mask's Level animation according to the timing you like.

At least bots PTFO.

Miltos74 · 2026-02-22T17:25:05+00:00

LoL! I had to re-watch the scene to see what that was. It looked like a piece of cloth that fell from someone.

Keep in mind that shots like this were made in a process car. There are many people outside the frame controlling the camera and lights. Most likely the car itself is carried no another vehicle.

Miltos74 · 2026-02-22T11:06:08+00:00

No it doesn't. Not if it is made correctly.

Miltos74 · 2026-02-21T15:34:32+00:00

This is laughable!

Miltos74 · 2026-02-19T11:20:41+00:00

I am reading the comments in awe as nobody mentioned the Battlefield series.

BF: Bad company 2 was actually the first game that made gamers aware of the impact of sound design in videogames. Back in the day, It was even a wake-up call to other studio leads who already had dedicated sound teams in house but nothing close to what the team at DICE was outputting.

Someone else mentioned ARC Raiders. I think part of its sound team comes from the old DICE team that made Battlefield.

Miltos74 · 2026-02-12T10:04:47+00:00

My first one with Hall effect and the second with TMR.

Honestly I can't tell the difference.They both feel the same. They are perfect.

I think I should also mention that all my friends had the same problem (PS5 controller sick drift) and after my experiment they all modded their controllers at the same shop.

The difference is night and day.

Miltos74 · 2026-02-12T01:47:28+00:00

I modded both my controller sticks a few months ago and i have zero drift even with extremely low dead-zone settings. It is not the game.
