In this video, at the 12:08 mark, so-called reality manipulators are shown performing various feats:

• Causing the environment to shift and move
• Changing the color of a door
• And more

The lighting and shadows seem accurate, and the woman's interactions appear quite convincing.

I don't believe this video is authentic, but I'd love to hear your opinions. What aspects give it away as vfx/cgi to you?

Announced to David Conley has joined as President. Is this the turning point?

Hi, i want to ask vfx creators for use freebsd. I am porting zeno,natron, gaffer to freebsd. If you want use some library which is not in ports contact me.

I have a footage of an empty road. The camera is moving pretty fast.

How do I track the road so that I can place some cars on it?

I'm trying to create a car chase.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I recently noticed high temperatures on my system while rendering (3dsmax, vray or redshift), and I’m wondering if this is normal or if there’s an issue with my setup. Here are the specs and details:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
• GPU: RTX 3070 Ti
• Temperatures during rendering:
  • CPU package: 96°C
  • Motherboard: 42°C
  • Chipset: 55°C
• Cooling setup:
  • 6 case fans running at 1700 RPM
  • A new CPU cooler is installed (not liquid).

I’d appreciate any insights into what might be causing these high temperatures. Are they typical for this CPU under heavy load, or should I be looking into better cooling solutions or checking for potential issues? Thanks in advance!

Hello :)

I'm preparing an english presentation on VFX. I already have a plan (mostly about motion capture and destructible building). Do you have any cool anecdote or specific field interesting ? It can be anything i'm mostly curious :) I'm more computer science oriented tho

Hi, first time posting so i hope this is the right place to ask. I want to mask out the logo in the clip into the background but my attemps were not very satisfing. I tried masking the wall near the logo and place over it, that ding work to well, then i tried to paint it over with copy paint feature in davinci, it was better but u could still see that the logo was masked away, becouse the movement of the camera didnt match the painted area. My third try was using object remover feater in the colour tab that was really well here and there but it still wasnt clean. So i ran out of ideas what to do, havent found any tutrorials that could help so i thought my i could get some help here

FYI i edit on davinci studio and abt 4-5 moths in editing in general, thanks in advance, plus a ss of the shot i mean

This is a genuine question, not a low effort.

Or current producers, what do u wish you'd knew?

I just completed nk101 and before moving onto nk202 I just want to know if there are some things that I should practice other than what's in the course.I did all the assignments he showed but I still feel like I don't know the concepts very well.

What should I do now. Should I move onto nk202 and do the same as nk101 or should I practice some more on the concepts of Nk101 and then start nk202.

Thanks for all the help.

I just really enjoy how crazy this scene is. A giant mash of gods, humans, amazons, Green Lanterns, etc fighting a horde of parademons. It’s super chaotic, and while it’s obvious they used green screen, I’m wondering if there’s more specific details

100% just curious, I saw some short term(seems 3months) supervisor or lead roles job posting and I wondered how that work.

I thought the supervisors and lead should well understand that company's pipeline and workflow style?

I remember Rebelway was started by Saber Jlassi and Igor Zanic and then suddenly, we are seeing Urban Bradesko all over. What happened?

Hi everyone! 👻

I'm reaching out to the reddit community in hopes of finding an informal compositing mentor experienced with Nuke in the VFX industry. I'm looking for someone who I could reach out to for script critiques, guidance, and lessons to help me grow as a compositor.

My LinkedIn blurb: "I am a junior compositor, senior paint and roto artist with nine years' experience in a number of renowned visual effects studios, including Weta Digital, Park Road Post Production, Framestore, Iloura (Method), Rising Sun Pictures, and Mill Film (Mr. X). I have worked across Australia, New Zealand, and Montréal. I started my career at Weta Digital as a roto artist, then established myself as a paint artist, junior compositor and paint and roto lead. My career highlight was winning the VFX Emmy Award for Game of Thrones: Season 6, "Battle of the Bastards". I also have experience working in commercial television and as a supervisor to a team of 12 compositors and paint artists."

I'd be super stoked to compensate you for your time and expertise. If you have experience in compositing and are open to mentoring, please reach out—I’d love to connect and chat further!

Thanks so much for considering, and feel free to share this post with anyone who might be interested. 🙈

Hi,

I'm in a tricky situation. I moved from Brazil to Canada in 2023 because I wanted to pivot my career into 3D animation (film and tv). So far I've had zero success.

My background in animation is a little odd, I didn't start out as an animator, rather I started as an animation director for a previs company (called Animated Storyboards). So my more professional reel is mainly work that I supervised/directed and I know that my actual animation skills are in the Junior levels.

I've been trying to get into entry level positions in previs and layout but with zero luck. I mean not even one interview in the past year or so. So I'm wondering if maybe the way that I'm presenting my experience is contributing to that.

I usually putt in my resume that I worked as a previs animation director and try to explain better in my cover letter and present my reel.

Am also, 31, and I'm starting to feel that that might also be a factor of me being passed on more junior roles.

Idk. I know the industry is in a bad position but maybe I could be presenting my experience in a different way or looking for different entry level roles?

Does anyone have any idea or comments about this? I'd love to know the opinions of recruiters too.

Thanks

Tl: Dr I have a weird background and I want help on how to use this to look for new roles in the. Animation Industry.

I used one image where I didn't click on RAW DATA and by default nuke took ( matte_paint) lut since I'm working in ACES - Now I wanna enable the raw data but I want the same desired output of ( matte_paint)

I used OCIO Colorspace and tried to change it to matte_paint which is sRGB-Texture Role as per nuke docs

( There is one more which is Uitlity > sRGB > Texture but its not also giving the result.

So what colorspace to add to get the desired output?

Hey everyone,

I’m having trouble exporting tracking data from 3DEqualizer R8 to Maya 2025.3. Specifically, when I export using the Maya Script v4.7 option, 3DEqualizer now generates a .py script instead of the old .mel format.

When I try to load this Python script in Maya via Script Editor > File > Source Script, I get this error:

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape

The error points to line 26 of the script, but that line just contains 3D camera coordinates—nothing that seems related to file paths or Unicode issues.

I also tried using the Maya shelf tool (TDE4) that 3DEqualizer creates during export, but it doesn’t work either. I’m not sure if I’m missing a step or if there’s an issue with the new Python export workflow.

Has anyone figured out how to properly import these new .py scripts into Maya 2025? Are there any additional steps or fixes I should be aware of? Any advice on how to work with this new system would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I really enjoy seeing behind the scenes stuff of films, getting to know what’s practical and what’s done through green screen. I thought the scene from Sucker Punch where they fight robots on the train in the digital one take was really cool. Is there any articles out there for how they did the scene? Or can anyone tell how exactly they did it?

I don't know where to inquire about this so I am posting this question here. I am 21 and planning to join a masters program(Visual Effects) in Savannah College of Art and Design(SCAD). I saw the students work on their website and it was much much better than I can do right now. So here is the question. How good do you need to be to join SCAD?
