F5 Tickets on Sale!

It’s so on. Happy F5 tickets are now live!

We’re summoning the powers of collective incentive, a new approach to early bird purchasing. Here’s how it works: Buy your F5 ticket(s) right about here. If at least 200 of you purchase by New Year’s Eve (December 31st at 11:59pm EST), your ticket will only be $280. The deal will stay alive even after the 200 mark until the time is up. Smiles all around.

But if that scale isn’t “tipped” (200 sold), then the deal is off and your purchase will be refunded. Tickets will then be available at the original ticket price of $480 in January.

Two weeks ago, we opened up tickets to our 2009 attendees and they sold at a pace that far exceeded our expectations. So far, this response has been overwhelming. The creative community has been patiently waiting to take a gulp, blow out those candles and make a big wish.

The question now: How happy do you want to be?

Nuke and the 3d System…

Just trying to familiarise myself more with the 3d system… though I don’t seem to get what the purpose of it really is…

Who actually uses the lights/materials in production?

& besides the projection nodes, are the others any use at all and if so what instances have they become handy to use?

questions questions I know..thanks in advance for your answers..

Broken Roto Shapes?

Hey guys, I’ve been working with both the rectangle and ellipse tools in the Roto node and I’m getting strange ‘tears’ along the mask (see pic).

It’s usually from the highest point of the shape, and seems more common in points where I haven’t turned the handles (Why would I if I’m using a perfect circle or square?)..

Moving the point back and forth until it’s happy seems to work, but I was hoping to know why this happens, or if it’s just a bug..
