Da Verona arriva Void

Posted in: Animazione 2d, Animazione 3d, Italiani, Motiongraphics, showreel

Una nostra lettrice, Gaia, ci segnala l’agenzia in cui lavora… Void e noi scusandoci del ritardo per la pubblicazione gli dedichiamo un intero articolo 🙂 sperando anche di far cosa gradita a tutti voi che siete sempre in cerca di novità dal panorama italiano. Void è nata formalmente all’inizio del 2009, ma era già nei cuori e nei desideri dei soci fondatori almeno da un paio d’anni […]

MEL: Adding Commas to Numbers in print messages

Posted in: Maya
I wanted to know if there was a way using MEL to add commas to long numbers in print messages. Sometimes I’m getting attributes for things that are long, like particle counts, and it would be much faster and easier to read if there were commas.

Example…

MEL prints: 938475689
I want it to print: 938,475,689

Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks

Amateur AE Artist Needs Feedback on First Reel

Posted in: Demo Reels!
Hi, I’m an amateur After Effects artist who’s considering looking for entry-level compositing or roto work and I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my reel:

http://vimeo.com/11698874

I’m out of work right now and I couldn’t support myself with my last job (as a part time cashier–about minimum wage), so I’m considering applying for entry-level vfx jobs (but not freelance work; I’ve had bad experiences). I’ll be located in LA.

I realize that my reel isn’t nearly up to the high standards of most industry professionals, but I figure one has to start somewhere. Any advice on improving my reel or entering the industry would be very much appreciated. And if my reel isn’t remotely competitive…well, let me know, I can take it. Better to know now than spend countless hours applying for jobs I’ll never get.

Thanks!

Afanasy: Nuke Network Render

Posted in: Nuke Plugins & Scripts
CGRU version 1.1.0 released.

http://cgru.sourceforge.net/

Key feature:
"Nuke network rendering"

It is an ability to send to network render several Write-nodes in a single job.
Afanasy gizmo provides Write-nodes dependency description. You can connect Afanasy gizmo to several Writes or to another Afanasy gizmo, this will describe rendering order.

For example we want to render Back, Key, Final(which depends on Back and Key) and Preview(which depends on Final):

This connections network will produce a muiti-block job with needed frame dependency:

Each Preview frame will wait the same Final frame to be rendered. Each Final frame will wait the same Back and Key frames.

This is useful on ‘heavy’ scenes.

Full documentation:
http://cgru.sourceforge.net/afanasy/…c/afanasy.html
