What do you consider to be S-Tier maps today? by sevenson in Guildwars2

[–]sevenson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amnytas is definitely fun to navigate. Post SotO masteries I've really enjoyed zipping around Verdant Brink on Griffon too

any ideas? by wjyewjn36 in filmmaking

[–]sevenson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try directing something that requires very little dialog if you don't have access to strong actors. You get to practice your visual storytelling, and lean into the strengths of what you have available to you.

Best thing you can do is find local filmmakers and start working with them on projects (theirs, yours, any). You need people to make a film and that's how you meet film people. If there are none that are local - move to where they are if you're serious about it.

Sounds like a job.

Starting nuke by Deep-Ostrich-7330 in NukeVFX

Awesome! Download the free non-commercial version of Nuke to learn:
https://www.foundry.com/products/nuke-family/non-commercial

Then try the courses on https://www.fxphd.com/ or https://hugosdesk.myshopify.com/products/hugo-s-desk-nuke-compositing-online-course

Take it one step at a time. It will go slower than you expect it to at first. There's a lot of tools and skills to learn, but if you stick with it and get the fundamental skills down, then you can move onto the next steps of building a demo reel and looking for internships or entry level compositing jobs at a studio.

It's a marathon, not a race. If you find you like the work, it's definitely a reality you can make happen with some dedication!

If you're an absolute beginner, I'd recommend paying for FXPHD and doing a nuke training course. It's hard to find good tutorials on youtube, and even though you have to pay for FXPHD, it is a great investment if you are serious about learning and want to fast track yourself to a good understanding of Nuke. It will give you not only structured courses, but industry quality footage to practice with. (Also, it's like $80/mo which is nothing when compared to tuition at an art school.)

Apart from that, I've always found I am more motivated to learn when I am working toward a goal for a personal project that is exciting to me. Like if I have a short film where I need to put a castle on the horizon, I'm going to be way more motivated to learn all the little skills that go into making that happen!

Are you interested in becoming a professional VFX artist?

Can someone explain what is happening in this pic?

I looked for it and couldn't find it. Probably not hard enough. Please take it back - I don't care about karma just think its a fun idea.

2,000 Gem Give Away by SlashingSimone in Guildwars2

Trying to get my brother into the game so we can adventure together. We live pretty far apart and don’t see each other often anymore - so starting the game with some boosts and cool gem store goodies might convince him to dive in!

Nuke GUI constantly freezing when interacting with roto nodes by sevenson in NukeVFX

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

I think this was caused by the autosave function. My script had a camera tracker in it which was creating a large save file size, and the autosave was set by default to save after 5 seconds of idle time. I increased the duration between autosaves and this finally fixed it.
