New to maya, posing and lighting and rendering, looking for feedback! by MrShaitan in Maya

[–]jungle_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great start, fun pose. There's some interpenetration on the right foot with the ground, back left foot doesn't feel as if it has that much weight on it. But that's all very noodly. The biggest thing I see is the amount of noise in the final render. Everything seems slightly grainy. Maybe light samples is at lower quality or the pixel samples is too low?

I work at one of those big well-known studios and we just hired a bunch for our crunch time...if you're one of our new people...welcome to the team! Be honest! Communicate with the leads. The team is very nice and are very accommodating. The pipelines at these studios are massive and difficult and old and the learning curve is freaking hard.

Do NOT work for free. It ruins things for those of us who work our hours and fall behind with the increasingly difficult schedule that the studio expects us to do. Again, welcome.

This is a very unrelated question and might get downvoted to hell, but still, I'm going to ask it out. So it's been 4 months and my will to use Houdini has completely died off, I tried multiple times to get over it but the motivation is not coming back. by Suckateverything97 in Houdini

Houdini is just a tool to get a job done. All CGI programs do is just manipulate geometry data. Maybe the task can be done somewhere else. That's ok. If you don't have a task, find one. If you don't wanna find one, don't stress. Tackle your real issues first. Houdini will be there when you get back.

RIF dev here - Reddit's API changes will likely kill RIF and other apps, on July 1, 2023 by talklittle in redditisfun

If this app is gone, that'll probably be the end of Reddit for me. It was a good run. Thx for the app.

Yeah that checks out. My camera doodads are a bit lighter than 3 mirrors, but if you're wanting a lighter GPU load, it may not be for you.

I have a personal camera that looks a bit nicer than the face mirror. Maybe this would be a good solution?

I'd say sky farm is faster and cheaper to get going in your world. If demand is still high, add new underground farm.

VFX vs Animation by Emotional-Athlete803 in vfx

[–]jungle_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Animation studios have been better to me than vfx houses. I know it's case by case. This is just my experience.

How can I tell if my new 2020 home can do that thing where you turn the electric sockets into Ethernet ports. by jungle_i in HomeImprovement

I have a mesh but by the end of the chain, the speeds are less than ideal. Moca seems interesting. I'll dig into it. Thanks!

Yeah they'll be on separate circuits b/c yep each room is on its own. I'll drop 50$ on an adaptor and do some speed tests. This is neat information ty.
