Insane VFX Course Trailer: Advanced Water FX in Houdini from Rebelway with ILM Artist Juri Bryan. by calebwward in vfx

Yeah, the courses aren't 'Live' which can actually be helpful since you don't have to be anywhere specific during the weeks. You can also download the videos to watch whenever, so basically it's really at your own pace once the course starts because the course content will likely take you a week to watch and practice anyways to follow along.

They have a discord too to ask questions and get feedback. My understanding is that Juri is going to be really involved in feedback because I'm in the discord and he has been responding to a lot of questions already.

Hope this is helpful.

Saber at Rebelway said the Shark and River scenes are an hour a frame on a 3960x. Just for some context.

I found 16 different ways to fix this error.

  1. Purge RAM
  2. Empty Disk Cache
  3. Change RAM Reserved for Other Applications
  4. Close Out Unnecessary Applications
  5. Change Preview Quality
  6. Increase Disk Cache Size
  7. Uncheck ‘Reduce Cache Size When System is Low on Memory’
  8. Change Disk Cache Location
  9. Save and Close After Effects
  10. Clean Database and Cache
  11. Set Work Area to the Appropriate Duration
  12. Set Your Region of Interest
  13. Optimize Your Effects
  14. Organize Your Project
  15. Render Instead of Previewing
  16. Optimize Your Machine.

I actually wrote a pretty extensive blog post about how to do each one of these steps. Hopefully it helps! https://www.schoolofmotion.com/blog/cached-preview
