modify fbx-geo in new “vertex selection mode”

hey guys,

i´m testing the vertex selection mode (not for 6.0 and below) with an fbx-geo. not sure if it´s intended like that: i thought it should be possible to move a bunch of vertices to deform the geo now?? for any reason, it´s not working. also tried to use modifiers like the geo-select node.
thanks for any suggestions…

speed up workflow – manage user knobs

hi, i’ve just tried 6.1, i thought this thing has been ‘fixed’ in 6.1 , but it’s not.
I don’t know any good reason , why everytime i hide knob (manage user knob) , the knob’s label is always reset to empty, so i have to retype again and again. This little problem is annoying. Is there any reason why the foundry keep it that way?

Again in ‘manage user knob’ , it will be handy if in case i use like pyscript_button or tcl_button etc, i can type the code and apply the code immadiatelly without have to close the window first. This is taking me a lot of time while debugging the code coz i need to re-open , edit , close , test it then if something is wrong , i have to re-open ,edit , close over and over again. Something like ‘apply’ button in that window will speed up the workflow specially when using a long code/scripts, not to mention the additional ‘little’ time needed to scroll through the script it self, coz when reopen the window to edit script, the window’s size will be reset so i need to resize my window to view my long script.

Just sharing 🙂

VFX 404 [WIP] joshfilms

Well I really hope to finish in time. My project is going to be pretty ambitious, I think but it will be a lot of fun and a great learning experience.

I plan to make a minute to a minute and half Zombie short full of VFX of course. Some big ones and more subtle invisible ones, I hope :).

Here’s my storyboard. I’ll be shooting it on my T2i and for post I’ll be using AE, PS, C4D, PFmatchit, Premier Pro and Zbrush.

Cheers,
Josh

Merge to HDR in Nuke?

Hi,

I’m wondering if there’s a simple way to mimic Photoshop’s ‘Merge To HDR’ function, where I can import a series of LDR photos taken of a light probe and merge them into a HDR image.

Thanks.

Generalist vs specialist?

Is it worth to be a 3d generalist or a specialist or a mix? In my opinion it’s better to be a mix because you understand how your parts relates to others and might help you do a better job. Another reason is in case you don’t find a job as a modeler for example maybe you might be able to find a job and vfx artist if your good enough.
What you guys think?
