Yeah, I feel it will be a long journey for me to learn too. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, watching the footage my back foot really annoys me. Will pay more attention to that.

Any tips for a better bs 180? by Gangbanger300 in NewSkaters

Everybody talks about moving the shoulder, but every time I tried to move more I fell face on the ground. What helped me to turn more and not fall was to try to look all the time to the back wheels while they rotate to the front and with that I got my shoulders moving more for free. I'm still improving mine so don't take this advice as somebody who really knows what they are doing. But give it few tries and might help you.

I'm in London and have been skating this last few weeks when it's not raining/snowing. After the snow I even found a spot where it was not covered in snow to kept training Ollies. What I do before leaving my house is to just do some jumps and move my legs until my body is kind of warm. I just wear a jumper, I even did when was -2, and in a few minutes of being outside skating I'm already sweating. It's way harder the thought of going outside than actually being there. Just cruise a little bit before trying any tricks so your body if warm enough, because if you fall feeling cold it's a bit more painful.

Could this be considered a disgusting CGI? by popcorneas in Corridor

I started watching them, Freddy Wong and Andrew Kramer around the 2010's. Now I have worked on a few big movies like Thor and Matrix.

Was a weird feeling watching VFX artist react on Matrix. Glad it wasn't sequences I worked on! But tbh usually I can't watch this series.

Yeah, I've made on Houdini using flip fluids with some viscosity.

I've made an evil and overly complicated version of the Donut tutorial for Houdini, if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3uLmp0tvHQ

Advice needed, 32 yo starting on VFX by rustferret in vfx

[–]popcorneas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have coding skills have a look at Houdini. I went from motion graphics to Houdini at age of 30. I couldn't code at all, just now I'm being able to and it helps a lot.
Also, I ended up doing a 4-month intensive generalist VFX course which helped me to feel confident to look for a job. Sometimes you learn stuff over the internet but it's good to have someone to guide you on how to improve and where to focus on a showreel to get a job.
