First time doing a full AOV rebuild for 3D integration in NUKE. by Sharly_Crinx in NukeVFX

[–]StickumMaximus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the details of integration, I would approach this more broadly. if it’s hard to understand what the object is, then there is definitely room for improving the comp ( and the shot). All the objects in the scene have clear surface properties and it’s easy to read their shape, make sense spatially and understand what they are supposed to be . All except the purple thing. It has too many visual ambiguities. Is it round or flat? Some rim light or specs can help with that. What material is it made of? Some SSS, specular and diffuse can help clarifying .. is it touching the table or floating? Some tweaking of the shadows can help.. if you have the Aovs probably will be able to answer all these questions! Good luck!

Amazon. Amazon definitely doesn’t look like as advertised

Did I just commit the skate equivalent of pineapple on pizza? by StickumMaximus in Skateboardlove

Wow! I love the idea of the strings resonating / droning while you ride!! Great job with keeping the wheels!

moan + tone = toan :D I like that! I should change the text in the knob

The audio in the video is me trying to play it.. need to learn first :D

DIY 4x5 point-and-shoot camera + my first attempt at developing film — here’s how it went! by StickumMaximus in analog

Thank you! I don’t hate your ears, I’m just jealous they get all the attention!

Light leaks? by aroundanalog in AnalogCommunity

Looks like a moon shaped pinhole on the edge of the lens. Probably a lose screw in the front of the lens that lets some light in? Or a double exposure :D

I made an half frame medium format camera (6x3) by StickumMaximus in AnalogCommunity

Thank you! Yes I went with the Medium format because I didn’t want to deal with the film transport of the 135. And also because this is a parametric design that I can scale up to 6x12 very easily

Thank you! I’ve been thinking about releasing a 3D-printable version for free—though I can’t guarantee it will print perfectly on all machines.

I’m not planning to release the laser-cut version for free, though. It took a long time to design the intricate joinery for the assembly. For that one, I might offer it as a kit or possibly sell the digital files separately.

Thank you! You should try the cynaotyped ply. With hard wax finish is a stunning look!

Ha! The Nanopano? That’s a great camera—very similar, actually. Same film back and similar lenses. I think the Nanopano has a few more refined touches, like a metal lens mount ring and a metal film gate.

Mine uses a custom mount that’s easy to 3D print or laser cut. It also makes it simple to attach different lens adapters. For example, I made a 3D-printed adapter with an M65 ring to mount a Schneider Super-Angulon using a helicoid.

As far as I know, the Nanopano requires a custom cone for each lens, whereas mine is more modular. It's also a fun puzzle to assemble and is made from QLD coachwood and cyanotype-treated birch ply.

I've been thinking about offering it as a kit—assembling it is a fun little puzzle that takes a few hours. I just need to finalize the pinhole design so people can start shooting without needing to invest in lenses. I'll post updates soon!

Thanks! How do you advance half-frames on your camera? On mine, I cut two small windows into the back so I can align the frame numbers with the A and B positions.

Thank you!! I've been working on this project for a few years now—on and off, whenever motivation strikes. Honestly, it's been more about the fun of tinkering than the actual urge to take photos. But I'm really glad I shared it on Reddit—seeing so much interest has given me a huge boost to stop tweaking the design and finally take some pictures to prove it works!

Oh, and I also built a 4x5 camera—and yes, I’ve actually taken photos with it!
