I’m coming up on the end of my VFX internship in May. My internship is with a feature film VFX house in Hollywood. They have given me some roto work to do on a big budget project and I’ll have an imdb credit when it is all said and done. But I’m wondering what to do next? Eventually I’ll sit down and talk with my boss about it. Could you guys school me on what to expect when my internship is over? I have plenty of 3d and compositing experience, but just one real credit to my name with this internship roto work. I don’t mind entry level work at all. I just really don’t know where and what to look for jobwise.
When I’m job searching, what is the job title I should be searching for?
What is the best site to find entry level VFX in Hollywood? I can’t seem to find a solid one.
I need to formulate my next career move.
FXPHD Question
Posted in: Beginners TalkWelcome to visit us: http://www.nikesea.com
I just got my hands on 4 identical Samsung drives and want to experiment them.
So if you guys would list your drives, to what mounting points there connected and what you use them for and why. This will be a great help to people who just found out that hd’s are one of the biggest bottlenecks in a comper’s system.
To kick off here’s mine:
1 IDE Western Digital Drive, 320 GB, 16 MB Cache.
Contains root partition and a 4GB Swap partition.
4 SATA Samsung drives, 320 GB, 16 MB Cache.
Setup in RAID 10 for my /home directory where i have everything including a cache folder for Shake and Nuke.
btw i’m running Arch Linux 64 bit on a quadcore intel Q6600 with 8 GB ram.
looking forward to your entries.
Rio
EDIT: it might also be interesting to see which filesystems you’re using. I’m using ReiserFS on root and EXT4 on my RAID 10

Intuos4 – Overview
Intuos4 redefines the Intuos pen tablet experience, thanks to a new design and new features inspired by members of our professional creative community.
As Natural As Can Be
The shape and surface alike have been completely re-engineered to enable ergonomic, consistent strokes, even over long periods of time. Available in four different wide-format sizes, S. M, L, XL, you can pick the perfect size to fit your specific working style and workflow needs.
Go With The Flow
Workflow, that is. An all new professional tablet, Intuos4 takes into consideration the many aspects of a professional’s workflow, software integration points, and equal demand for both performance and comfort.
Details, Details
Innovation in every detail. That’s Intuos4. Whether it’s the new Wacom Tip Sensor that let’s you capture every nuance of a stroke, the new precision mode, or the added levels of pressure sensitivity to dynamically adjust exposure, brush size, line weight, and opacity, Intuos4 promises to exceed your every expectation.
Intuos4 – What’s New
Powerful, Yet Sensitive
Featuring the new Wacom Tip Sensor, you’ll now realize precision and control beginning with only a single gram of pen pressure. With every stroke, Intuos4 captures even the most subtle nuances of pressure, giving you the creative power to dynamically adjust exposure, brush size, line weight, opacity and more by pressing harder or softer with the new Grip Pen.
Working Under Pressure
With 2048 levels of pen pressure sensitivity, Intuos4 gives you the creative power to dynamically adjust exposure, brush size, line weight, opacity and more.
The Keys To Success
Work smarter not harder. Set-up the Intuos4 ExpressKeys to activate your own unique, time-saving shortcuts and modifiers in each of your applications. With Intuos4, remembering your shortcut settings is now as easy as casting a quick glance at the tablet. Each ExpressKey is now equipped with an accompanying illuminated display providing a constant reminder of the key’s application-specific function.*
Speed Ring
The finger-sensitive Touch Ring allows you to control up to four different functions in each application for on-the-fly adjustments such as zooming, scrolling, brush size, canvas rotation, and more.**
Left, Right, Left
The innovative, ambidextrous design of Intuos4 allows you to maximize the productivity of both your hands. By placing all of the ExpressKeys and the Touch Ring on the same side of the tablet, they are in the perfect position for use with the hand that is not holding the pen. Simply rotate the tablet 180° degrees, and change a single control panel setting, to adjust the tablet from a right-handed to a left-handed configuration.
Extra Comfort
Intuos4 is the most comfortable Intuos tablet yet. The slim-profiled tablet has gently sloping palm rests that provide complete support for working on all areas of the tablet. The cordless, battery-free pen features a cushioned, ergonomically contoured barrel and a selection of interchangeable nibs.
Peek Inside
A new weighted pen stand not only provides a convenient pen holder, but also functions as a handy twist-off storage compartment for pen nibs and handy nib removal tool. Standard, felt, stroke and flex nibs ship with the Intuos4, allowing you to simulate working with a variety of traditional art and design materials.
Software, No Less
Intuos4 owners are entitled to download their choice of software titles from industry leaders such as Adobe®, Autodesk® and Corel®.
Mouse Included
There is even room for a mouse on this professional pen tablet. Completely redesigned, the new five-button mouse moves the cursor based on both the direction and orientation of the mouse, for smooth, accurate tracking across the tablet surface.
* Illuminated displays applicable to M, L and XL sizes
** The Touch Ring and ExpressKeys feature application-specific settings.
Grievances
Posted in: The PadWhat does this have to do with VFX. You decide. I feel like the community has not pushed forward in a while, we keep getting reoccurring threads of "Hi, I’m new but I didn’t take 15 minutes to use the search function and forgot that I have a search engine of some sort on my browser to explore the ultraweb for this answer, can you please give me an answer in the next 5 minutes before have to take more Adderall or my :censored: head will explode even though I wont respond to this thread for 4 days."
While I do see a lot of help being given in the area of scripting and plugin writing (an area of comp apps I am fairly weak in, and I appreciate the reading the solutions and the in depth discussions members have provided), and helpful solutions to "I’m stuck why isn’t this working" type questions. I am start to be annoyed by many new threads that overlap too much. I’m just not sure at what point does overlap in other subjects become annoying or just part of having a message board.
I happy to know we have the whole range or artist levels from VFX Sup, Sr, Mid, Jr Artists, Students, and Newbs, and this pool ranges the span of the globe. Each member benefits from this site in his own way.
I guess I should stop my rant here. :p Glad I got that out.
Edge Issue!!!
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryThe TEA.tga is a resultant of TEA_Diffuse.tga multiply by TEA_Lighting.tga
I have tried to turn on/of premultiply in the properties dialogue but that has not helped.
Attached below is the comparision of the 2 images which different edge.
