I work in the vfx/animation industry and I have to say that I find Adobe's Creative Cloud billing is horrible for studios. The idea that you have to commit to a year is terrible for post-production companies because they scale up

I've come to the conclusion over the last several years and specifically after spending a bit of time in India, that corruption is the #1 challenge facing humanity. In the past I believed that poverty was largely due to a lack of resou

I had planned to give additional details via email. I just thought I might bump into someone in these comments that was also interested in working on something related to PH. However, that doesn't seem to be what I've found here

I actually created a site using telescopeapp.org in the past! When reddit's AMA section went on strike, I created Skhool.me Telescope won't work for my current project, unfortunately.

I'm wondering if this will allow for a huge speed up in 3D rendering? Specifically, unbiased Monte Carlo ray-tracing / path-traching renderers like Maxwell Render. Does anyone know of any work being done in this area of Quantum c

I can't wait for this in LA. I'm currently paying $115 per month for 1Mbps/10Mbps for Time Warner "business class" internet-only service. My company does visual effects work, so I actually have to drive my video f

The questions and answers in this interview are very superficial and generic. It seems like the interview was a homework assignment...How is this on the front page?

In the current representative system of democracy in the US, the plutocrats benefit by having an uninformed population and a democratic process that can be influenced by money (advertising). Your fears, in my opinion, actually stem from ou

My background is film production, which is an industry that I think has really tested the limits of how many hours a person can work without dying. If a film shoot could work their crew more hours, they would, but at a certain point your c
