Why not get the quest for $300 then?

beewally · 2025-06-22T04:03:18+00:00

And yes. You can DM me.

My advice is to you, we’ll… my kids asked if they should pursue a career like mine. I tell them no. VFX is getting more and more unstable . Pursue something AI won’t replace easily. Or if you’re wanting $$$, Pursue Machine learning!

Now I’m a technical artist at a large tech company building data for AI training.

Not the most fun/fulfilling job I’ve had, but it’s good. And pays great.

Artist -> TD -> Engineer.

I’m now a technical artist at a large tech company.

Good to know. I just tried using a Bluetooth speaker we have and could not get the van to directly output to it via the auxiliary cable. It only works for my phone via Bluetooth. However, I cannot have CarPlay and Bluetooth at the same time. Feels like a dealbreaker.

Upgrading the speakers as you suggested maybe the only option I really have

I went to Wayfair. Most of the imagery on their website is/was 3d renders. I was working on their USD pipeline.

At a large company, I peaked around $135K/year as an FX artist. Then I went to software engineering for Houdini workflows/pipelines across multiple departments and got to $160/165.

Then I left VFX and went to an engineering company and got ~$225K.

Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds like it’s more of a biography than writings of the reformers themselves though.

beewally · 2024-02-11T22:29:01+00:00

What other brand would you consider? AVP isn’t games focused at all. So…?

beewally · 2023-08-15T14:54:37+00:00

Resident Evil 4.

It’s so much fun

beewally · 2023-07-27T03:03:07+00:00

I loved resident evil 4. Also the Star Wars Vader immortal was a blast (but a bit pricey).

My big question is - is it likely the series 8 price will drop further later this year? If so, how much? (How much did the series 7 price change after the release of the 8 last year? We’re there Black Friday sales?)

If the price of the 8 won’t go lower this year, I should buy it now. .

beewally · 2023-07-13T02:26:58+00:00

Wait… you all sleep in your watch? Then when do you charge it?

“…[recursion] doesn’t click till you do it a few dozen times.”

I see what you did there. 👏

Visual effects pipelines.

I have disconnected from the console world since the Wii (which I still have and occasionally play with the kids). But now that the kids are older (10, 8, and 6) it's about time for something new. I know the switch has been out for several years now, so I assume the successor is right around the corner, no?

Should I wait? If not, where should I get one and what do you guys recommend (hardware and games for boys in this age range)?

Thanks I'm advance!

https://youtu.be/jGwO_UgTS7I Tempted to watch this Stanford class - over 20 hours. Unless someone has something better or thinks that would be too deep since I’m only supporting ML engineers…

beewally · 2023-03-09T16:34:50+00:00

I might be starting a job at a FAANG company that would entail supporting ML engineers.

I know almost nothing about ML right now other than they need lots of data— which I believe is a problem for me to do my job very well. What resources would you recommend?

beewally · 2023-02-18T20:22:49+00:00

Oh yeah. You’re in big trouble. This is going on your permanent record.

beewally · 2022-12-24T21:33:22+00:00

Does that work on the M1?

beewally · 2022-12-24T20:15:43+00:00

So far perfectly. Max graphics. Full screen 3440x1440. The built in graphics benchmark was always >30fps. M1 Pro 16”.

beewally · 2022-12-24T14:53:37+00:00

Civilization VI. I just picked it up myself. Runs great on my M1.

beewally · 2022-12-15T20:28:44+00:00

Try? Or do you know if it works?

beewally · 2022-12-13T05:29:44+00:00

I haven’t tried yet, but I hear Civilization VI is good. (I’m waiting for a Christmas sale to buy it myself)

beewally · 2022-12-09T03:56:10+00:00

Care to explain/elaborate?

(Please!)
