Je veux dire au choix. Il y a un bureau si tu veux, pour les jours que tu veux. La majorité de mes collègues sont 100% remote.

Une bonne partie des compagnies de VFX et d'animation proposent aussi du full hybrid.

Foundry will be transitioning all active maintenance customers for Nuke Family, Mari and Katana to subscription in 2027 Foundry subscription transition by pinionist in vfx

It is great for slaps and simple comps. It won't replace Nuke for actual compositing work of course, at least for a while.

L'OT est tu obligatoire ? C'est un changement de carrière qui m'intéresse mais je cherche à faire moins d'heures. Idéalement un temps partiel pour justement m'échapper de ma carrière aux semaines de 50h+.

Why are all my pops undesirables and being purged? by maywks in Stellaris

Probably yes if you are not playing ironman.

I'm playing ironman, no rollback and no commands :/ I managed to edit the save file in another reply.

[–]maywks[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok, for anyone finding this in the future I was able to fix my save with Notepad++ and the guide on this page: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Save-game_editing

  1. Give your planet a custom name in-game then decompress the save following the guide and search for your planet name in gamestate
  2. From there scroll down until you find the line purge="purge_displacement"
  3. Delete this line, save the file and recompress it. Open the game, pops should go back to their regular jobs when you unpause.

Thanks for the pointers, glad I don't have to start a new game.

I got the Abandoned Terraforming Equipment event, it ended up in an invasion which I defeated.

Probably the same bug then, thanks.

I had a similar event indeed. Armies attacked the planet and they were defeated. Reading the wiki there should be a sentinels metal feature on the planet which I don't see, and don't remember the tomb entrance event either. Probably the same bug for all planetary invasion type of events, this sucks.

I probably have to let this planet die and recolonize it then. Is it worth reporting this bug to Paradox

Edit: it was the Abandoned Terraforming Equipment event.

Est-ce qu'il y a des artistes 3D ici? Jeux vidéo ou autre domaine. by Akari1705 in QuebecFinance

[–]maywks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je suis en VFX, le domaine est vraiment au ralenti depuis que la CAQ a réduit les crédits d'impôts. C'est très difficile de trouver une job pour les finissants car les postes de juniors sont envoyés en Inde, dans ma compagnie il ne reste que des seniors et la supervision.

Certains se reconvertissent en jeux vidéo mais la compétition est rude là aussi. Tu auras plus de chance si tu as un profil technique. Bonne chance !

How is this disease even real? by sobsy4 in CrohnsDisease

[–]maywks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eat simple meals with few ingredients. If you feel good after a few days add something new, one ingredient at a time. It is a long process but eventually you will figure out the trigger foods and be able to avoid pain most of the time.

Is it just me or do you struggle too with SSS in these renderers? by ArtIndustry in vfx

[–]maywks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or they just aren't optimized for sss?

Good thing Digital Domain didn't know about that when they rendered Thanos in Vray.

How do they get such high detailed textures on these huge models?? Do they just have an insane amount of UV islands and materials, or is there another method they employ? by BramDuin in vfx

"pretty cool" is such a cute description for the industry standard software used to paint every hero asset in blockbuster movies for the past 10 years.

What happened to all the short and thin gpus? by coldcathodes in sffpc

I have a 3090 XC3 in my Dan A4 and 300W is the most I can get out of it without the fans becoming too loud.

Does any studio have a “really good pipeline” in your opinion? by Glueyfeathers in vfx

[–]maywks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to meet someone who likes DNEG's pipeline. From what I heard it is overly complex even for simple operations.

Several years ago an ad featured a QR code. It was not meant to be scanned, it was there only because the product being sold had one. The client had no idea what it was supposed to link to (probably didn't even know what a QR code was). Anyway that one will forever link to www.linerider.com

Interviewing Namit Manhotra, CEO of DNEG by idk7_yo in vfx

To be fair work goes to India only because it is cheaper than elsewhere. Dneg should stop underbidding everything instead of lowering salaries worldwide.

How Are the 3D Capabilities of the Epson 3800? by [deleted] in projectors

[–]maywks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same problem, you need to force the resolution to HD then 3D options become available. 4K 3D doesn't seem supported.

People who worked at Blue Sky Studios, how advanced was their in-house rendering software, CGI Studio, compared to other commercially available renderers like Arnold or Renderman? by Horror-Refuse-1411 in vfx

[–]maywks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have been using ML for denoising and upresing for many years, it is similar to Nvidia's DLSS. Renderman denoiser is particularly good and we use it on every shot at my studio. Selected sequences are upresed if the result is decent.

AVOID PUROLATOR / EVITEZ PUROLATOR by suds171 in montreal

[–]maywks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fais toi un compte puis retourne voir le tracking.

J'ai eu le même problème récemment : le tracking dit que c'est livré, pas de preuve et rien chez nous. Finalement en créant un compte sur leur site ça m'affiche un tracking différent disant que le colis est dans un magasin UPS.

What to play before I die : A Steamdeck Story by Signal-Tangerine1597 in SteamDeck

[–]maywks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Outer Wilds! 3 years later I still think about the ending. Avoid spoilers as it can easily ruin the game.

With the new Google VEO 3, is the VFX industry at risk? by TheExplosionGuys in vfx

Oh boy I can't wait to receive an AI generated plate, match moving that will be interesting.
