We are looking for a Maya, 3Dmax, autodesk, vfx, etc. CGI expert designers who can develop visual effects as a pilot project. We want to show a potential customer the potential of our work. For this we need to show them a sample/pilot visual effects. A few video shots with few actions that takes place within a matte painted landscape and architectural environment with following visual effects.
Please check out the samples in the following video, such as dirt particles, fire ball effects,
water balls/bubbles/vapors, streams and Tsunami effects:

Those are just samples. The effects made should look different and not be copied.
It is a concept and we are looking for someone who is willing to invest time in this project to try to get this client on board. If this pilot project is successful and the client gives us the project, then you will also get the project for developing the entire project.

Hey.
Quite a few times i have come across a issue where the scene scale in the 3D viewer become a problem. So when if i use the mouse to pan just slightly it rushes through the scene, and if i scroll just 1 tick it will zoom in drastically.

So a few questions:
1: Is there a way (without up-scaling all 3D elements in the scene) to avoid this problem?

2: Is there a way to reset the view (View facing center of 3d space)

3: How do you change the position that is set when you hit the [Middle Mouse]?

Hi, i’m trying to grab the filename from a ‘write’ node.
using node[‘file’].value() , i can get the name and path, but the problem if i use sequential name , it’s always convert the ‘####’ format into ‘%0xd’ format. so for example :

I don’t want this. I want to have the name still using #### format. How can i do this? if possible i don’t want to do complex regex unless there’s no simple way.

thanx
