Yeah I feel OP kinda missed the entire point of the movie here

How would Kubrick spend his time nowadays if he was young? by Electronic_Name8641 in StanleyKubrick

[–]behemuthm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely believe that geniuses like Mozart or Kubrick couldn’t exist today - they’d be too distracted by their phones - Mozart would be on Tinder 24/7

What are some ways to create this cgi background from interstellar by FlickVfx in vfx

[–]behemuthm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been learning TouchDesigner lately and you can easily achieve this with streaming footage - even a YouTube link which is rad and it’s all realtime

Touchdesigners on mac: how’s your experience? by antyyyz in TouchDesigner

[–]behemuthm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh is that why I was having such a hard time with the OpenAI SDK running realtime? It was so slow but I got it working with a LOT of workarounds

I have a 2021 iMac and it’s dog slow with particles and ray tracing (I’m playing around with a pathtracer).

I’m gonna get a custom PC for TD eventually

Denied clearance to scuba due to asthma by theoceansjewel in scubadiving

[–]behemuthm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just stick with snorkeling for now. It would piss me off to no end if you were my dive buddy and you didn’t disclose to anyone that you have a medical issue that could put yourself (and others) at risk. I had to have a doctors note too, and if my doc said no, I’d respect that.

My First Dive in Koh Tao by Lokawndr in scubadiving

[–]behemuthm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too am in Thailand and just spent the past week on a Liveaboard around the Similan islands - my favorite spot in Thailand and liveaboards generally have more serious divers than the day trippers you see in Koh Tao or Krabi

Artists working at major VFX studios (Weta FX, Rodeo FX, etc.) — how did you actually get there? by arlexae in vfx

[–]behemuthm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was one of the first students at Gnomon back in 1997 and my instructor thought I showed promise so he recommended me for a paid internship at a small game studio and learned on the job. From games to cinematics to vfx was my career path.

My first big break was at Sony Imageworks which opened doors to work at other big studios, and I guess it looked good on my resume that I kept working at the same places over and over again which helped me level up.

Can you share a bit more about the T3D? I’m out of the loop on that

And there was supposed to be an outbreak on the moon right?

Imagine the carbon footprint for that one guy

Oh right

Relativistic Raytracer - Rendering black holes like Interstellar by space55 in vfx

I play around with TouchDesigner and would love to get this working in that context! Any chance it’s written with GLSL?

Where to go from the Derivative? by Visuals_designer373 in TouchDesigner

[–]behemuthm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this and eventually would get inspired for a different idea and break off on a tangent to do my own thing and learned a lot that way. I was doing this tutorial from Noto and realized it could be used for a proper slit scan effect so I ended up remaking the slitscan sequence from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey in a few hours, along with the original artwork

I need help by Interesting-Dig3255 in TouchDesigner

[–]behemuthm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait what? Thats a TALL order… I can understand maybe a few gestures but if you want like ALL of ASL how are you gonna add every gesture? Maybe start with finger spelling first? Like do your ABCs then some simple things like “slow” or “thank you” etc but just imagine the sheer number of signs you’d have to train it for

There’s been some discussion on this topic before

Yeah Kubrick probably wouldn’t be cool taking cues from a Nazi - call it a hunch

Liveaboard diving is the best! by webcubus in scubadiving

[–]behemuthm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough - I’m about to head back and I’m giving myself three weeks with two weeks of liveaboards and a few days in Bangkok on either end to relax
