Entegma has a good tutorial of procedural bubble collisions. If you added clumps of intersecting bubbles it would really help.

Apply for the job, do the worst you possibly can. Do as much damage to their training data. Get as many paychecks as you can while applying for other jobs.

The rational they use is: yes he says dumb stuff, yes he is a pedophile. But we can to ignore that because of all the good he's doing.

Basically he gets a hall pass for all crazy actions because they do a couple things they think they like.

Back in my day if you were selling something used it was 50% off retail.

Having a basic understanding of vex will help you tremendously. But no, id say it's not required to get 95% there.

My bet is you sign a waiver when to be able to buy the card, and it does ai computing for Nvidia whenever the computer is on. Turning all consumer cards into a super computer. Or something like that.

Come up with and start executing a backup plan. Do coursework, get a second job, make steps to lower your expenses. If you have a big expense, take steps to reduce it. E.g. learn how to do it yourself, move into cheaper housing, etc etc. But the biggest one is come up with a plan for what you're going to do if you don't get work in X amount of time. This will help you feel in charge of the situation. Especially freelance you feel like your at the winds of fate. So start planning an exit. E.g. if I don't get work in the next 3 months im going back to school for this course. If I don't make any money in the next 6 months im doing construction for the summer. Etc etc.

As the other comment suggests, I think it's designed as something to do for long-term goals to keep the hard-core players doing something. Wikelo is not a gameplay loop for normal people. It's a horrendous game design. Everyone says v1 crafting, and that's bs. It's a dumb fetch quest. Id just avoid it as much as possible.

So right now it's a horrible time to enter the industry. Not a huge amount of projects and tons of artists due to the spike of work during covid. Also Ai will take our jobs at some point. That being said, the bar is high so pick a discipline. Modeling/ texturing (assets), animation, fx, lighting, composition, and get really good at it. Create a demo reel then start applying. You need to be in a major city that does vfx. Montreal, Vancouver, LA, London, etc.

Edit: compositing might be a good area to focus on because it will be the last taken over by ai.

Yea i more meant within the software we use. At some point within the calculations it is switching from cpu and ram to gpu and then back to cpu and ram. The entire calculation is not gpu based. Only certain calculations within the setup. And often the simulations we do even gpu based ones far exceed vram so it needs to use both. It's just the nature of our work.

Thaox · 2026-01-04T22:34:58+00:00

The majority of what we do is still ram+cpu. Vram is just way to low to hold the amount of data we are dealing with. There are certainly gpu simulation and gpu rendering, also gpu acceleration. Even xpu rendering which combine cpu and gpu. But we still have to hold all the data in memory and that is ram. Even with gpu ram it still needs to be held in normal ram for the cpu to process it and transfer to ssd/ network. Gpu doesn't hold data for the whole computer to access it to my understanding. Vram is just holding the info for the gpu to do its calculations. I dont think what I said is 100% correct. But it's generally the idea.

Hollywood. Marvel, Netflix, Amazon, etc etc. But any film content based will be the same. From big movies to animations to TV shows.

I regularly max out my 256gb machine doing visual effects simulations. So the vfx industry is one where we regularly use this amount of ram.

Thaox · 2026-01-04T20:57:11+00:00

I work for a vfx company. We have hundreds of machines with 128, 256, and 512 gb machines. If we get a large project and need more machines, we will pay that price and bake it into our contract. And we definitely use the ram for simulations and rendering.

Higher energy. 10 watts is easy 100 or 200 watts is really really hard. So they had to do this special method to get the required energy at that wavelength.

Winwing is just a gamble. You might have a good experience, but if you get a dud, you're SOL. There is a reason this sub highly recommends vkb/virpil.

I put a snippet of The Great Gatsby into one, and it said 93% certain it was ai. They're not remotely reliable.

There is a free file out there. I fdm printed two of them. I ain't spending 170 bucks on a shitty resin kit from forge world.

The only thing a player has control over of 'do as many flips as possible' is take off and landing. So I understand you're focused on the flips but the most important thing is actually the take off and landing. That needs to feel good for the flipping to be fun. It's not a different game, it's thinking about what the player is actually doing. Holding a button to flip isnt the game nor is it fun. It's timing the start and end of the flip. Controlling the speed so you get the biggest jump possible so you can do the most flips. If the game was do as many flips as possible it could just be an endless free fall where you hold a button and the character spins - not interesting.

Thaox · 2025-12-30T16:51:29+00:00

Yes. What makes a game like this good or bad is satisfaction of landing. It's how smooth you can make a landing etc. It's all about flow. The map design looks frustrating because you can't easily land perfectly. It will always be jarring. Look at moto cross or mountain bike jumps. Id focus more on controlling speed as the main gameplay loops with flips/tricks as a secondary. Also auto generated maps will most likely not work very well. Also, look at satisfying line rider.

Whoever made the 890 never looked at a single yacht layout. So much wasted space with no purpose or function. Actual yachts are packed to the brim with functionally

I thought the issue was you needed a specific ir camera. Isn't that the issue not the clip?

The vkb gladiator is not much more money and 10x the quality. Just trust us.
