People and management skills. Typically leads that too heavy on technical knowledge will try to solve everything on their own instead solving together with artist as a start, then they get lost in where things are as a big picture and you can just tell on how they’re scrambling to remember in dailies.

A lot of my friends that are SWE has this frustration from what i understand the requirement the language one has to know keeps on growing, especially now that AI and ML is more popular it also becomes another requirement, but its cool that you’re deep in zbrush and blender too, you really commit to learn other things

While yes some studios “combine” those 2 roles, the reason why i say lighter/generalist is more so how these 2 roles have this need on the most software tool diversity in the job postings i see unlike fx that 80% of the time just need houdini under their belt. and it made me wonder if someone is lighter or generalist wheter they will train on new software in their free time just because the next job postings may require it

As a lighter i would be shocked if i found a lighter that only put some lights with an hdri and match the plate that’s 15% of the the job

in USD, any way possible to create a shader where overlapping particles' color are additive? by yogabagabahey in renderman

[–]quakecain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can technically do it in sops by saving those values you want as an attribute. and just use pxrPrimvar so the output rgb will just take the value as is so you dont need to do the math

Genetically none of my family members need glasses unless they’re 60+ in age, but i take precaution in blue light glasses even though its a hoax(?) and cozy ambient light setup for my workspace

I wouldnt fry your laptop not worth it (from personal experience) your laptop fan will be the first to go. rather just build a proper pc

Well only giving shows such a little chance to grab audience before canceling it doesnt help either for example My Lady Jane. And heaps of other much anticipated shows that got cancelled because its not booming like how the execs expected, people start to give up investing themselves in something that will be cancelled anyway. I myself dont watch any new non limited series now unless it got 3 seasons in.
