That’s a very weird take, since a large part of the population spend hours daily consuming art: Music, TV and movies (created by all sort of artists, from actors to directors of photography, writers and set designers). We can add some video

Exactly this, and it was clear based on the backlash got SD 2.0 after they removing artist labels and getting 'less creative'. Most people are not interested on the creative aspect, just looking for a easy way to copy art from peo

That’s my experience as well, as a visual effects compositor, and responsible for quality control on a few large budget movies. Some artists had fancy methods for adding grain back on their images, but besides some control on the intensity

I’ve been a visual effects artist for more than a decade (Nuke Compositor), last year I did the inverse move to tech, already predicting that AI would make my life a bit harder. All the articles you see about the state of the industry are n

You are likely deluding yourself about your skill level; I’ve had the habit of tracking my peer's productivity (on Shotgrid) to stay above their metrics, and even if I could say objectively to be the faster in my dept., that is irrelev

Not only developers, but I’ve read a research where a POS system was upgraded from a TUI to a GUI, and while new hires enjoyed the new system, experienced ones disliked due to the reduced performance. There is also an old research showing t

You are not alone, the strong marketing from Adobe and Apple creates the impression that image creators are all about having Adobe software on the latest Macs. This is far from the reality. While most don’t correlate Linux with artists, we

In theory, nothing, just specialization. This software is an open-source answer to the standard in the visual effects industry, Nuke https://www.foundry.com/products/nuke-family/nuke . In the media industry, 2D an

There are a lot of reasons for this transition, and it didn't came without analyzing diligently different factors, including their preferences. Some large studios are using successfully Linux as their main driver on the pipeline, so w

Not sure if I got that right, but we aiming to move to a bare metal Linux distribution, not WSL. However, I'm aware how even small updates can brake Linux boots, specially when dealing with NVidia drivers.

I’m a senior visual effects artist, compositor. My skills are more related with the 2d aspects of a movie, usually blending multiple 2d and 3d elements seamlessly (and hopefully) photorealistic way into the final image. Is also said composi

I spent about 4 years creating educational videos and posts, and it's not irrelevant: it takes a ton of time, especially writing and editing, to make a video short and dense in information. That said, I created videos because I could

I work as a compositor on a visual effects studio that had to adapt, and can say that I'm impressed too! The studio internally uses PCOIP boxes, which I don't like due the added tiny delay (I'm a bit like those developers who

That's more accurate, Soul was probably rendered at 2k, as most of their movies. If a shot doesn't look good enough when upscaled, they re-render in 4k. Actually, they used to upscale most of the movies using Nuke, but recently, s

This looks very interesting. Do you think it can be applied to other kinds of XML files? I'm interested in using git with a vfx software (The Foundry Nuke) that writes XML projects, and it would be great to have some versioning system
