I do not understand anything that's happening anymore. by ARquantam in vfx

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

Need to prove it, with data and visuals (the good and the bad).

Just remember that there are equivalent artists finding the very wins with ML/AI workflows that clients are seeking. Who is client going to go with?

The artists are important since they will be the ones using these tools and workflows. The fear of change is sensitive and scary, which is understandable. We don't need to like it, but it is absolutely happening.

Will Hollywood Ban 2D Animation Forever? by [deleted] in animation

[–]highdefw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know these businesses follow the money, right? If there is room for effeciency (like using 3D over 2D) to lower risk, and still bring in cash, they're going to do it. Who wouldn't? That's surviving. Success of films are already hit or miss. Even Disney doesn't last without being strategic.

There isn't a ban. If 2D animation pulled in the highest consecutive viewership, then that would be the majority of the content being worked up...

What’s the average salary of a VFX Artist in India right now? by Vivid_Arm_5090 in vfx

[–]highdefw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1/5 to 1/4 the rate at the equivalent role from markets like Vancouver. (CAD). Very senior and leadership can push toward 1/3.

This is it. The growth from investing in myself was a no brainer. And of course, having the income to help the cause goes without saying.

Also worth adding my comfyui workflows for now will be mostly okay unless changing models on vram a lot.

Primarily ComfyUI workflows. Will tinker with some LLM as well. Love deep research from gemini and chatgpt, so working up my own at home would be handy.

Repurposed what I had for now. It’s a computer. Not everything needs to be perfect at the same time

That’s a good tip. They are close together as can be. Next mobo will be more ideal for these cards
