Chernabog posted:Cool, I didn't know that thread. I was mostly thinking about using it to practice 3D animation without having to make or rig characters. I think it's a good streamlined program if you want to practice storyboarding ideas. Honestly I'm a firm believer that if you want to get into animation, you should pay your dues and learn the fundamentals at some point. You want to be able to stay flexible and not let the limitations of something like this hold you back. That's not to say once you learn you can't use this to save time

Did you think those fridges stocked themselves with brand name sodas? What price your Aeron chair?

Geared Hub posted:I think that's the ticket, there's good money and stability in other forms of CG work from accident recreation and other forms of forensic animation, CAD for rapid prototyping and CNC, product visualization, arch viz, etc. Illuminti posted:Good point, I'm from London and I have to say it was quite a treat to work in Vancouver for 2 years and get overtime pay. I once worked 3 months of 12 to 18 hour days 6 days a week with no more pay than if i had done 9-5, 5 days a week. drat, and I had always thought London had it good, but then again if you are the guys undercutting LA then you have to be hurting too.

Anyone know the best place to hire someone to do some photogrammetry captures? I know this probably falls within pretty much any vfx job really so uh....vfxjobs.com? Artstation, Cgsociety? I'm in the US and would be asking for assets from say Mexico I can't imagine someone on Fiver or taskrabbit doing it...

I guess the broader issue is the asset can be anywhere in the world, just a question of which artist pool is the best to draw from

Has anyone used Mixamo? It's basically a stock library of action animations right? I had a short but specific animation I was looking to recreate this using a turbosquid model https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIojHwo_4XM but I can't rig/animate to save my life SVU Fan posted:I seem to remember there being some Blender people in here. Anybody looking for a job? I'm looking to hire somebody with a specialty in lighting/texturing/rendering interiors for a full time, good paying job in the greater Los Angeles area. Must be a blender user because of a proprietary workflow. Have you tried the DMA LA usergroup? I literally don't know anyone who uses Blender professionally but you might some luck with a young artist who learned off that.

any solo freelancers seeing an uptick in work? My Czech buddy who left The Mill (granted that was way back into the beforetimes) said he's getting more busy than ever. Another moved to Texas to work at Already Been Chewed and left after probably not even six months if that to go back to freelancing.

Don't know if this is the right place or if 3d printing had its own thread. I had a friend mention getting one of these PHROZEN Sonic Mini printers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084FBNLHS?pf_rd_r=A2QQ7D6C53D4PJJS9D2D&pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee I was floored by the price (250!) and he was someone who did a lot of printing as he's a figurine sculpter so he's fairly experienced with using them for production purposes. Wondering if anyone had any thoughts PublicOpinion posted:Started making a serious attempt at learning Blender this year, Eevee is a godsend for actually being able to quickly look at things. I tried learning once before but render times were always kind of a hindrance as a hobbyist, at least for me. Been getting way into Ian Hubert's stuff, subscribed to his Patreon and made this as a way to use those assets and try out some of the techniques. Never did any motion graphics stuff before, so the second part was also a lot of learning. been thinking about doing his patreon. How does it work, do you get everything from the beginning up to this point or just the stuff from when you started paying?
