what is the post is for a fresher in dynamics or fluid simulations?

hello people, i am about to begin my showreel for graduation, but i am confused what is the entry position for a person who wants to do dynamic simulations like for example maya fluids and dynamics or real flow simulations.

The faculties at my school are advising me to move to roto or match move sections where jobs are in huge numbers but should i apply for a roto post or a match move post as a fresher or there are other positions for someone who wants to do simulations.

this might be a naive question but i am seriously confused by the response of my institute.

thanks

Roto/Rotopaint hotkeys

Hi,

I looked for it and could not find it here on the forum, but it is possible I am blind.
Is it possible to assign my own hotkeys to tools in Roto/Rotopaint nodes?
For example in Roto node Q is select tools, V is bezier drawing. I would like to add sth for "point operation" tools 😀

CGI compositing with XSI

So i’m busy working with and learning the workflow between BOUJOU –> XSI SoftImage –> Nuke. If anyone knows of tutorials which deal with this, could you please post the link.

I also have looked long and hard for tutorials on doing CGI with XSI and have come back with nothing.. (e.g. Doing shadow only renders within XSI.) Does anyone have tutorials on what I am looking for?

Thanks again,

HeShe~
