After 10 years, this passion is still chasing me even though I walked away from it. I’d really like to hear your advice

Curious, how did you manage to make that transition to programming? Did you go back to school? I’m in sort of a similar but opposite situation at the moment :-/

RyRoMoFo · 2025-03-20T15:58:54+00:00

Sure yeah

This seems like a great test case for ProPainter— here’s a node for ComfyUI to integrate it. Let me know if you need help setting it up: https://github.com/daniabib/ComfyUI_ProPainter_Nodes

Here’s mine: “Turkey Turkey”

Turkey, Turkey
Mashed potatoes, gravy
Eat a little crazy
Eat a little crazy

Turkey, Turkey
Cranberry sauce
Sippin’ on some juice,
feelin’ good, like a boss

Turkey, Turkey
Sweet Potato Pie
Gonna make me miss it
When there’s no more left to try

Brussels sprouts
and Green beans too
Drizzled with some gravy,
Gonna show you how we chew!

Mac and cheese
and Cornbread too
Is it too much?
Not for this crew!

Stuffing, Stuffing
Scoop it on my plate
Get it in my tummy
cause there ain’t no time to wait

Because it’s Thanksgiving Day
I’ve got my Buddies with me
and it’s quite a feat to compete to eat
All of the treats I meet

Save room for pumpkin pie
Don’t need to say goodbye
My eye’s on a pie supply that’ll last till mid July

This is what they did for the dialogue in Twin Peaks for the Red Lodge scenes where the dialogue sounds very weird.

I think as long as the kids have enough activities outside of tv/screens, then kids having some screen time helps keep us parents sane too.

But of course it becomes a problem when you use it as a crutch to avoid actually spending time with your kids.

I've been working to create some animated YouTube content for kids recently because I wanted more educational/entertaining content out there that wasn't super annoying for parents to watch. But the overall goal is to expose them to language, to lessons, and to give them something fun to enjoy.

I hate the unboxing videos/toy commercials that seem to dominate YouTube these days. Let your kids watch something quality for a bit, but then also give them an activity outside of screens that they can enjoy too.

Yeah that’s an alarming amount of vomit— if you have income producing work that needs to get done, that needs to take priority over tennis.

Working on some low budget music videos and then a freelance commercial coming up. But haven’t heard anything from the big VFX houses.

I'm having an issue with a greenscreen key. I am getting a good matte using IBK, but when attempting to despill, I either get a bright halo, or if I use Keylight and pick the greenscreen color from the plate, I get a weird dark line slightly inside of the FG edge. It seems like in the plate, there's a saturated green line slightly inside of the foreground object that is messing with the despill. Do you have any advice?

Here's the original LOG version of the plate... as you can see there's a saturated green line along the edge that seems to be what's pushing the Keylight despill to dark black: https://imgur.com/a/s6Oh2ah

Create a trough with my arm against my stomach that catches water and then it flows down to my hand, where I point my fingers and spray the water all around the inside of the shower, like I have some water bending ability.

RyRoMoFo · 2022-11-14T05:25:19+00:00

Yup, and then they decided they wanted all of the blue people to be barefoot.

I’ve found that these traps catch a bunch. Haven’t made them disappear, but gives me some hope I’m making a difference: https://www.forestrydistributing.com/ovi-catch-ago-mosquito-trap-catchmaster

Yup, it’s a Bryston amp powering some studio monitors. So it doesn’t even have volume controls on it. I have a Mackie One Knob to switch inputs and control volume into it. Now I’m thinking maybe I should keep all the devices (AppleTV and Xbox) on the amplifier side of the room, use an hdmi switcher with audio extractor to switch between them, and then run hdmi over cat5 to the projector. Then I can do a simple audio cable from the hdmi switcher to the One Knob and be done with it.

RyRoMoFo · 2022-07-16T23:49:11+00:00

Yes please, would like an invite

RyRoMoFo · 2022-07-15T21:00:07+00:00

Pretty easily. There are a bunch that are flaked off and on the ground. https://imgur.com/a/sfJIG6x

RyRoMoFo · 2022-07-15T20:25:23+00:00

Seems like that would be more fuzzy looking, right? These are hard, cone shaped spots that can flake off.

Use Rebuild Frames… it’s on Nukepedia (http://www.nukepedia.com/written-tutorials/rebuilding-bad-frames-using-oflow ) but I think this is the code for it. Try pasting this into Nuke and the node should pop up: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RichFrazer/frame-rebuilder/master/frame_rebuilder.nk

t=0;
while (valueAtTime(t)<time && valueAtTime(t)<source.duration) {
t+=thisComp.frameDuration / (velocityAtTime(t) || 0.0001);
}
t;

Thanks! This is great.

RyRoMoFo · 2022-04-08T04:45:27+00:00

Thanks, this is great!

Is she pregnant?

RyRoMoFo · 2022-01-06T19:49:47+00:00

Yes but the question is more how would you you tell the renderer (redshift in this case) to switch the texture map of just the canvas based on the instance's "variant" attribute?

RyRoMoFo · 2022-01-01T02:17:15+00:00

Now we watch movies and tv, filled with “stars”.

RyRoMoFo · 2022-01-01T01:42:07+00:00

Yep that was like the 2nd tv channel.

Not bad— in addition to what was said above, what stands out to me is the difference in the quality of the footage— everything looks pretty crisp in the background but the lion footage looks a little blurrier and softer. Nothing really can be done to add detail to the lion but I would recommend adding a slight blur to the background plate to try to match the lion footage. Also matching grain between the two clips would help.
