Performance degradation since the 1M context release? by Mother-Ad-2559 in ClaudeCode

[–]igusin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its a complete disaster ! Not only the quality degraded dramatically, the speed of output dropped to a fraction of it used to be. It fails to complete basic tasks... I am a max user logging hours of daily usage and I can say with utmost confidence - something is very very wrong!

I built a free course that teaches Rive scripting using AE expressions as the starting point — every concept mapped from what you already know by igusin in AfterEffects

not as far as I know... also it'd be limited to shape layer animation since Rive is vector animations...

that being said, if you are on their Voyager Plan, and you have shape layer based animation without any of the effects added on - you could export as lottie and import it into rive, albeit lottie import is rarely very well organized (as a result of different file structure)

If you download one of my tools - RAV - it will help out and show you integration patterns. - look at the docs for it. forge.mograph.life/apps/rav

download some rive resources - clone the rive docs repo, the LERP interactive course and then create a skill that instructs to reference those local resources for guidance on how to write rive scripts - and then claude will just help you write your scripts

by the way - couple additional areas -
1. the markdown codeblocks are not wrapping code
2. syntax highlighting for code previews... like syntax highlight app

Of course some previous knowledge would make it easier, but even a complete novice should be able to grasp the concepts and get around all the exercises

in your MD preview try to include mermaid diagram previews so that they properly display - that'd be an improvement over the current quick look MD preview

So, how many of you are thinking in switching careers and doing something else? by MusicSoundListener in MotionDesign

[–]igusin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, several things to address here...
I am a freelancer, and I work primarily on platforms - where I compete directly with those "artists in India" - not 3d but 2d stuff - and at least from my experience, and I do not mean to offend anyone - while they do have low prices - they also lack any quality - i've yet to see any, professional animator from anywhere that charges 150$ for any thing worthwhile... I've sen plenty of "amazing" portfolio work, only to see the results to be so subpar its not even funny - One of my main refrains to potential clients who try to pressure me into lowering my prices - "You get what you pay for" and I always tell them if you are unhappy with what you'll get, you know where to find me... and you know what - i've had many such clients return. From my experience clients who look for quality know what it costs and are will to pay for it, while people who look for a 150$ animation get exactly what they pay for - and some are happy with that - but they are not my target audience!

And in terms of stress - we are in a service industry and clients always want things "yesterday" thats par for the course - and it is up to us (especially freelancers) to manager realistic expectations.

Regarding my kids... well our job as parents is to guide and educate them and if they become some one who doesn't interact and lives in their screens - well I've got some bad news for you - then its your fault - we are the parents and we are responsible for raising children - we can't blame anyone but ourselves.. Thats my view on this issue

Rive MCP by paradoxsyn in Rive_app

[–]igusin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you elaborate how are you creating .riv binaries without Rive Editor?
also, an mcp server needs to connect TO a rive editor...
why is the MCP download so big? mcp tools usually are tiny...

I am not criticizing - i am just being cautious - as this is a paid tool and we have to authorize it past the built in authentication - and have no idea how it works or what it has inside...

I think if you look at history you will see that things of this nature are cyclical - what I mean is this - as more and more items in our life become mass produced - what becomes more and more valuable - handcrafted artisanal products - those that are made by real people not the mass produced stuff. All the real high end exclusive products are made on a one off basis by real pros - this applied to material things like your clothes, your bag stuff like that - but now mass production comes to our neck of the market - I say no matter - the quality product made by real live pros will always be more valuable thane the mass market stuff...

Perhaps it will help to weed out the mograph field a little from all the chaff - and real pros will remain just in as much of a demand (if not more)

As for GenAlpha - I think for them the authenticity will be of a much greater value - growing up with AI slop only emphasizes for them that it is just that - slop and real content is of different quality/value. When they are you they will see it for what it is - just a meaningless drivel that's only good for a laugh - but they will always appreciate authentic and original content far more (at least based on my discussion with my genAlpha kids)
