I have had time to browse through the app. Regarding the nodes, it would be good if the node parameters had too tips, as it is they are labeled very mysteriously. The keyboard-powered brush picker is very useful. I wish Photoshop had one. T

As a traditional and digital painter, there is one unique feature that is easy to overlook: the colors are selectable as true pigments. Painters don't categorize colors using standard terms: red, blue, green etc. Rather they categorize

If you haven't already, I encourage you to subscribe this guys channel - Asianometry. How he finds the time to reserach in such detail such a wide range of tek-related subjects is beyond me.

It depends on what your best hopes for yourself are. You don’t need a lot of creative skill to model something geometric such as furniture or mechanisms. Having modeled it you would need to texture, light and render it. That can required go

I have worked in the capacity of an artists technical assistance. I am an artist myself but am also good with fabrication. Working for someone who knows what they want and can clearly express it can be rewarding. Less rewarding is working

I'm not entirely sure what op means by good taste in this context. If we can seperate good taste from best practice, it's that good taste is commonly associated with restraint and economy. Hence, no one can say that Liberace or El

I think that the non-profits you are referring to are likely not-for-profits.

The most significant reason that Blender is in its current position is because of the significant refactoring it undertook starting in version 2.5 I believe. 7 years brewing in the pot! It cant have been easy... but the outcome (Blender 2.

I have always found it odd how in VFX we spend a lot of time degrading our perfect 3D renders: motion blur, film grain, sensor noise and lens blur, which I would call a defocus. I am interested in the application of this research, and imagi

The use of Prussian blue is rampant in most painting programs. The reason is that you are essentially getting two paints for the price of one. When applied thinly, it is light and saturated. When applied thickly it is almost black. Contrast

I used to do a bit of work at Madame Tussaud’s. There they preferred glass eyes to plastic ones for the quality of their shine. It was fun watching them being installed… they were pushed in from the back of the head.

I can imagine a glass eye being very heavy. I have two fake eyes, both plastic. Neither was cheap, but both have been excellently made. A real craft. The thing that required most attention was fitting them… shaving them down to fit my inter

Well... the accident that led to my eye being removed was in my workshop. Specifically, it was caused by my bench saw and its poor maintenance. The initial damage seemed slight but over time, my eye 'felt wrong'- tight and a bit a

Funny story. I have only one eye, and when in public I signify this by wearing a very obvious eye path. Even without the eye patch, my prosthetic eye looks nothing like my functioning eye (by choice). I went to the optician a few weeks ago

Good question. I'm no expert, but I guess that the key issue is one of categorization. Without language, it is impossible to effectively categorize our perceptual domain. It is also true that among mammals, chromatic vision is pretty m

> up there with "Eskimos have a thousand words for snow". Bad example. It seems that there is still a lot of disagreement on this matter, much of it rooted in what constitutes a word. A well-balanced article on the subject here

The association of specific wavelengths to hue exists only in our perception, nowhere else. On the other hand, we perceive temperature yet its impact on the physical world is universal.

Add to that the idea that some cultures have fewer color terms than others. This actually impacts upon their perception of color. Check out "Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution" by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay.

A very clear article, written in very accessible language. One potentially relevant thing not covered is the existence of super blacks and super whites, values which (as a budding vfx artist) I often need to consider. These are values whic

Does anyone know how this is different to the Munsell color space, which is also perceptually uniform? Edit: I would imagine that the only way to definine a perceptually uniform color space is by tons of user testing. This is how Munsell de

Hawkins was very adamant on holding back feature creep. Prior to developing the Palm Pilot he worked on the GridPad. One of the reasons that did not achieve its potential was that too many people wanted a say in defining its capabilities, l

One of the genius decisions of Jeffrey Hawkins was in being laser-focused on the price point of the Palm Pilot. He designed it to be just cheap enough to buy on impulse, which is exactly how I bought mine. Edit: Hawkins = inventor of the Pa

FYI… artists of this generation would often paint their illustration the same size as it was printed. No easy task! Medium was likely gauche on board. Edit: I meant gouach. This is a very non reflective paint hence ideal for photographing.

I believe that Kodak’s missed opportunity was in not realizing the social sharing potential of digital photography. They had all the ingredients: the first digital camera, the almost first online sharing of photos… but didn’t grok it. Inst

generally, I agree with you on this matter. However, I can see a real user case for this when texturing an object. In fact I believe that the Blender Foundation would be better of dedicating the entire app to this purpose. Currently, textur
