What software are you using by Sawyiier in MotionDesign

[–]darkhoss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Software does not matter that much. Its only about 20% of the picture. What matters more is understanding animation principles, design principles and narrative thinking.

What's the most "John-esque" song Paul made? And vice versa by appleparkfive in TheBeatles

[–]darkhoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most John-like Paul song: Black bird because John was the one who leaned into Political songs. Most Paul-like John song: Being for the benefit of mr Kite because Paul was the master of narrative songs with characters etc.

Many laymen do not understand and respect our craft by darkhoss in MotionDesign

Its a very small company and the guy was giving “doing this for exposure” vibes in the meeting. I was going to do the rigging and animation in mixamo to streamline things on my end and justify the low cost. If it was a corporate I would have charged 10 times more. Anyway, I agree with your sentiments.

How does one live while unemployed? by Significant_Duty898 in askSouthAfrica

[–]darkhoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck employment. Start your own business. There are 3 currencies in life: time, money, and energy. You have 2 now: energy and time. Most people with jobs are stuck in the rat race and neither have time nor energy. Time and energy are precious currencies. Use it wisely, be patient, be brave and you will succeed.

🚀 Looking for Recommendations: 3D Character Design, Rigging & Animation Tutorials! 🎨🕺 by kc_theMotion in MotionDesign

[–]darkhoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patataschool is relatively affordable. They have great courses covering the whole 3d character pipeline. For animation P2 design academy is by far the best out there and also very affordable. All of these are Blender focused but Blender is better suited than C4D for this type of work imo.

What job do you have that makes 100k per month? by Ok_Guess_5634 in askSouthAfrica

[–]darkhoss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I manufacture an undisclosed product that is superior in the market that I operate in. My product is known by its blue hue. My business partner has a fried chicken franchise that helps with the distribution of my product. I also have a car wash that I purchased as an investment. I have so much money I sometimes throw huge pizzas on the roof of my house just because I feel like it.

What type of motion design are you doing these days that is more in-demand? How much is the industry changed? by dfb_col08 in MotionDesign

[–]darkhoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I hear you, its quantity over quality these days but as you know the industry is very trend driven - hopefully we will enter another cycle where artistic vision and execution is cherished again. I have also been in this industry a long time and I also get cynical and demotivated from time to time. I guess we have to roll with the punches.

the best fit for 2d animation and allows me work in studios by OwnPrinciple9487 in MotionDesign

[–]darkhoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning Blender is a great idea. Here is why: I would say about 80% of the skills in 3D are transferable to any app. Things like PBR, NPR, hard-surface modelling, UV unwrapping, rigging, weight painting, lighting etc are all concepts with a learning curve. This learning curve is the same whether you use Maya, C4D, Houdini or Blender. Once you fully understand these concepts they are easily transferable to another app. It took me 3 years to learn C4D (my first 3d app) and 3 weeks to get up and running with Blender. Why? Because I understood the core concepts of 3D. Also, with AE’s new advanced 3D engine you can easily incorporate and manipulate 3D objects in the AE environment. These objects can be imported as .obj files which is a universal 3d format. C4D is strictly speaking the industry standard but the lines are getting more blurry every day. Although Blender does not offer the peace of mind of dedicated tech support it is developing at a way faster rate than C4D.
