Erebus – 3D animation short

There used to be a small but beautiful blue rock somewhere within the vast void of the universe. Life appeared on its crust relatively fast and as usual through out the evolution, one of the species dominated the rest, by forming complex societies to overcome its primordial survival needs. The dominant inhabitants progressed technologically, excelled in many different fields within their closed society and managed to build establishments on every corner of the planet’s terrain. But during the process of solving these initial problems and building their dream utopia, more problems would arise faster than before, making their daily lives gradually more and more complicated. The time came when their overcomplicated society demanded so much devotion, that they stopped questioning other, more fundamental issues. It was then, when they even stopped looking up the heavens. The sky that used to inspire and guide them will now bring them disaster and Erebus...

Erebus is a personal project I’ve just finished. It started two years ago, as a desire to work on a short film again, which I hadn’t done since university times with Theros. It began as a short term and mostly visually driven project. Working full time in VFX, it was really hard to find the time and mood to work on it. I took a long break from work, moved back to Athens and finally managed to finish it.
Now that this is over, I am looking for work again as an FX-TD, ideally in Vancouver starting this summer. Any suggestions please drop me a line via my site or pm.

Node drag-drop

Hi.

I searched the user guide but didn´t find an answer. When I have a node connected in the tree, and this node has also some inputs, and I want to move for example the node to another point, how can you achieve this?

Like dragging the node out of the stream, but let the connections around stable, and then drag it somewhere else in the stream?

Hard to describe actually 🙂

Like extracting and pasting somewhere else but let the connections. maybe the jpg is better to understand. I do not mean the ctrl-shift-x command.

I Am Not An Artist

I am not an artist is an animated gif paranoia about nonstop design workers.

Problem with installation

I tried to install NFX plugins and tried to add to the menu.py, but I got this message:
C:/Program Files/Nuke6.0v2/plugins/menu.py : error interpreting this plugin

I unistalled the Nuke and tried to install again, but the same message again and I can’t run the program (I haven’t tried to install NFX).

Do you know why does this happen?

Thank you inadvance!

Meet up in LA?

Anyone on VFXTalk, specifically those LA-based, ever get together? For too long, I’ve been sitting at my computer applying for jobs and reviewing training materials until all hours of the night, and I need to get the heck out of the Valley. Who’s up for a drink sometime?
