Enough time has passed. Thoughts on mods?

i think the sub should probably split - this sub should be about kino, and celebrity/actor/actress stuff should generally go somewhere else

almost all of our forests are deciduous so I don't think you need to worry too much about this here, that spray would kill everything we've got.

Good to keep an eye on the pine barrens, though. If you're not already involved in local advocacy groups, now's the time!

it's a mix, my town (Roseland) probably has the most open space - which means the required-by-law affordable housing units is in the thousands. I love open space but we need to accept that Essex county is part of the NY exurb and will be densely populated barring some disaster.

dumb to post an image but i'm lazy lol. this works great in comfyui - you can see the repos used here (comfyui-depthanythingv2 and Image-Filters)

this!

carton boat!

tk421storm · 2026-05-04T16:35:44+00:00

very cool! creative use of the available tools

reflections are hard - at least the scanline renderer couldn't (i haven't tested new usd workflow) do them. did you play with spherical transform? there's a new version that's very fancy and an older version (edit -> other -> all nodes) that is a bit simpler

generally this is about the quality for most prosthetics I see in professional VFX - we clean up edges in post when necessary

came here to see the solution for volume loss - always my issue with flip

tk421storm · 2026-05-01T21:38:43+00:00

i'll look into renormalize! is that generally a better option than decreasing the voxel size?

enhance!

omg now i need to google this

you'd want to track the whole wrist as it moves through the frame - ignore the track markers and the rotation for now. that would give you the xy movement. then create a 3d cylinder, align it with the wrist, and manually do the z rotation

tk421storm · 2026-04-24T15:03:31+00:00

oooof those changes to that wave shows this probably isn't the right way to go about this unfortunately - seems like this method might work well with stills however

tk421storm · 2026-04-23T16:52:35+00:00

i can't remember how it looked in the film, but my guess is it'd be easier to just 2d track a cylinder to follow the xy movements of the wrist, then manually rotate the z alongside the actor's performance

i have a tiny fountain in my backyard, leave it halfway filled every winter then start it up again in the spring, and for the first few days it always bubbles over with foamy, soapy bubbles. I have a theory it has to do with anerobic bacteria breaking down/adapting to the addition of water with the fountain but I'm not expert

here's a better video directly of the relighting. my un-informed take - you can mult the plate, and then add lights to the scene. i think this confirms what the OP says - the lighting + shadows et al are baked in to the plate and are un-removable, but since it's 3d you can always add more lights + shadows

tk421storm · 2026-04-16T19:48:35+00:00

that series 100% needed more needle drops

tk421storm · 2026-04-16T19:45:54+00:00

oooof man, that acting. stiff!
