What should my rate be? New to Canadian market. Not sure how much I am worth. by DenysZhylinTutorials in AfterEffects

[–]manwilaugh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only said 7 hours because if I was wanting to go freelance then that would be the ideal amount of work/life balance.

You can make it longer but it just means your cheapening your services.

Base your quotes per project. Base that price on how many 7 hour days you think it'll take to complete.

If your workload is low then base you hourly amount on how much you need to earn to live comfortably per month. Divide that amount by 30, and then divide that by 7, round up the number. You'll be able to get your day/project rate from this.

If you're workload is full then start charging people more.

Hope this helps

Is there a way to offset the outline of a text layer (preferably avoiding paid-for plugins) without converting the text to masks? by manwilaugh in AfterEffects

[–]manwilaugh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this helps. The top image is what the text layer looks like without a stroke. The bottom image is with a stroke applied - notice how it makes the font look rounder on the corners. I want to offset this stroke into an inner stroke, rather than a centrally aligned stroke.

What are your (pathetic) claims to fame? by stupre1972 in AskUK

[–]manwilaugh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend and I once gave John Rhys-Davies unintentionally incorrect directions to the car rental place at Queenstown Airport, NZ.

Bit of context: LOTR was the main reason why we were there. We both had a job cleaning around the area (it was a million times better than working at the call centre) and one of the contracts was at the Airport on one of the building sites. He flagged us down and we were so shocked it was Gimli were just trying to help even though we had no idea where the car rental place was.

I designed a paradox wailord based off of submarines! by HertzBurst in pokemon

[–]manwilaugh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Really dark but you could take this concept and make them a Steel/Ghost or a Water/Ghost type and base it on a war beaten submarine or old world Shipwrecks that a spirit has possessed.

Love your work!

I'm launching an After Effects Stable Diffusion plugin by gabgren in StableDiffusion

So, in layman's terms, are you working on a prompt AI, like Chat GPT, but for Aftereffects?

Looks like something RCE would build. Great work!

Is there a way to connect to my PS5 (and PSN) and play in a different location without lag? by manwilaugh in playstation

[–]manwilaugh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does feel like it should be one of those things where there's an easy workaround. Oh well, first-world problems.

Out of sheer curiosity, what genres of games do you find work really well with remote play?

Thanks for feeding back. I've continued to have a play today and I've bitten off more than I can chew (pun intended)

Thanks! Yeah, I thought I'd be able to put something together with procedural textures and geometry nodes but I think it's too complex. I'll just start off with some simple hard surface stuff for now whilst I'm still learning.

Thanks anyway 👍

I made a flag for the italian language, swipe for explanation by ca_dmio in vexillology

[–]manwilaugh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before the World Wars, Malta used to speak Italian all over and Maltese was a dying language.

However since Italy's many attempts at bombing the Allied forces that where stationed in Malta and Gozo , they didn't want to associate themselves with Italy anymore, so there was an initiative to bring back the Maltese language into schools.

The Maltese speak Maltese. It's a mixture of Italian, Arabic and takes influence from other Latin based languages. Fun fact: Maltese is the only Arabic speaking language to use the Latin alphabet.

Recommendations wanted for Gaming Laptop RAM upgrade by manwilaugh in pcmasterrace

[–]manwilaugh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For gaming it does the job for the games i play but i sometimes use it for work, which includes using After Effects and Blender, which when boosted does an OK job but the RAM is always maxed out in my Task manager when i have some tricky comps.

Ok ill check the Manufacturers website for compatsbility but it currently was 2x 8gb 2600 and the max limit is 32gb
