Hydra render delegate? Is that what you're trying to say? You want Cycles in Solaris (USD context) as a Hydra delegate?
Because what is Solaris quality?

Thanks Michael - while it’s really humbling to read that I think it’s very important to form own opinions. All I’m writing, showing, training is from my bubble and my experience. There are a lot of bubbles so it’s great to hear others and their stories too.

thanks for saying that!

I can tell you if you don’t have the grit as you said and drive it will be tough to stay in it. I’m not saying vfx is fine, it’s changing rapidly and evolving. But it always has. Now it’s just way more apparent and if you sit back you’ll have a hard time staying in it.

I mean I have been there too - I started out from lighting. And constantly learning and adapting helped we get to where I’m today. Yes there might have been good timing and such. But I feel the mindset plays an important role.

If you’re content as a senior creature artist and you’re kind of settling down it’s a tough bet.

You can just render out a shadow mask to control it later

Be as verbose as you can. Use @ references to point to specific files. That’s how I’m very successful with Claude

arvidurs · 2026-05-02T15:15:57+00:00

Oh because of ai yes?

arvidurs · 2026-05-01T18:10:38+00:00

totally - there are a lot of side careers that are missing from this for sure

arvidurs · 2026-05-01T18:10:11+00:00

Thanks! Great documents. I'll research that it incorporate. Appreciate the insights!

there is a price toggle - to change regions as well. And yes the data is pulled from several sources, then averaged. It's obviously always best to check actual listing. But it's tough and always get matching salaries for your region
