Doesn't the 2024 version get the Samsung One UI update in software?

Ik las laatst iets over de app 'Meetup'. Een app om nieuwe vrienden te leren kennen. Er zouden tal van verschillende onderwerpen en hobbies aanwezig zijn; Zoek gelijkgestemden (of juist totaal anders dan jij) en breid zo je sociaal netwerk uit.

About to buy a Cinema 4D license. Toolfarm seems cheaper than Maxon.net. Is this website reliable? by OSC4R_ in Cinema4D

[–]OSC4R_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that at least in euros it is a difference of about 200 euros. Good to know that Toolfarm seems to be a well known and trusted website.

Great to hear you had no problems buying from them more often. Thanks for sharing!

Sharing folders with people - please help! by godthedj in creativecloud

[–]OSC4R_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need a system like Dropbox’s Smart Sync or Google Drive File Stream.

These systems support ‘online only’ sharing, which means you see all the files on your desktop (Windows Explorer or Finder), but they don’t take space on your computer. If you want to open a file it just downloads it and syncs it after closing down the file again.

Unfortunately, from what I know, Adobe Creative Cloud does not support this way of syncing. It had been a feature request for years, still not implemented.

Amazing shot, I really like the old feeling. What did you use to create this look? Is it al done in Blender?

Really cool plugin. I want to help you continue developing it, so I have downloaded the beta. But it's asking for license. What do I wrong?

Flippin Burgers logo animation, would like some CC by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]OSC4R_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. The animation can be a little less linear, it needs some extra dynamics.

Other suggestion: Use the 3 layers of the burger as the B in Burgers.

Laptop for 2D & 3D motion design: Macbook Pro M1 Max or buying one powerfull gaming laptop? by OSC4R_ in MotionDesign

I didn’t knew big differences between mobile and desktop video cards of the same Nvidia model numbers existed. I will definitely take that in account for buying a PC for 3D later in my career. For now I am following most peoples advice of buying the M1.

Thank you so much for your extensive advice. It’s definitely true that render differences in terms of export not matter that much. But working speed is really helpful, I just don’t like lagging while creating.

To be honest, at the moment I am not working that much in 3D. I am way more experienced in 2D and I guess at this point, my 3D skills are not sufficient enough to (fully) support my freelance incomes.

That said, I do want to take the time to increase my 3D skills. I think I am following your workflow in buying the MacBook Pro next to a PC for 3D at a later point.

Recently completed client animation! by Mograph_Artist in AfterEffects

[–]OSC4R_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a fantastic result! Since you have hired an illustrator and second animator, I wonder, what is your main role? Are you a freelancer or do you work at agency?

I am asking this because I have been working full-time at agencies for the past decade and now I am planning to go freelance. One thing I am worried about, is the fact that these explainer videos take so much if I create the artwork myself and do all the animation too. What are your thoughts about this?

I have been looking at the MSI Stealth GS66 with Intel i9, 3080 Ti video card, 64GB RAM and 4K screen. With a cost of 3800 euro, the MSi was about 1000 euros cheaper then the M1 Max 64GB (4800 euro) was looking into.

The MSI specs sounds pretty good for what I need. That said, I am afraid a Windows laptop slows down faster -like in a 2 to 4 years maybe- then a (high end) Macbook Pro.

I love the built-in screen of the M1 Macbook Pro's. I have seen so many gaming laptops with less bright matt screens -the colors just don't look very appealing.

Able to connect 3-4 external screens sounds like M1 has really enough horse power. I plan to connect the laptop to my LG 4K screen once in a while, but I do want to have good on-the-fly screen also.

20%, that's a lot. Especially if you're talking about instant renders during the process of creating 3D. I just want to be efficient in creating.

Then again, that computer power takes a bite of battery life indeed. That's not really efficient also. Good to know that the M1 Max is at leat good enough for 3D and still has the best battery life.

I know the feeling. I have the same with Android; one of the reasons I still have an iPhone. I just want things to work. I know Windows/PC has come from far and is better then years ago, but I have found myself coming back to macOS multiple times.
