HDR-Panorama
Posted in: Beginners TalkHi there 🙂
just one simple question:
How many photos do i need for an HDR-Panorama for HDR-Lighting in 3D? :confused:
Do i really need the full Dynamic Range (shoot every view multiple times), or can i somehow "fake it" out of few Pictures as Panorama each shot? Does it help to shoot in raw-format?
best regards,
marc

Thanks

I was looking at buying a new i7 Sandy Bridge Intel processor. Many reviews on Newegg state a better fan is needed for the processor. I’m wary since those reviews are written for overclockers/modders/nerd elitists, which I have no interest in.
Would the fan that’s included in the boxed processor usable or a better fan worth the money?

I have quite a few feed backs from this demo and I was told that the school at the last half of the demo has some bad texturing, I could easily go back and fix it but I have two other projects that I am going to add to this so I thought It would be better to just cut a section or two out completely, but I don’t want to edit out the entire school just yet.:bomb:
I need some outside help and opinions
the scenes are labeled at the bottom right corner.

my network latency is not making use of local cpu usage to its maximum extent so is there anyway where the read nodes copies the data to temp and then renders the frames and after that deletes the temp…? any possibility of this thing…

Nuke Tutor Needed – NYC
Posted in: The Job LotI’m been learning Nuke independently for about a month now, but I really want some hands on learning from someone who already knows Nuke, preferably a compositor for film, because I want to learn the workflow that goes into prepping plates that would be done by a roto/prep artist. I’m located in NYC. Pay is 25 bucks an hour. Here is what I’m interested in learning:
Wire/rig removal
rotoscoping
plate prep
painting
tracking
clean up
So, its just the basics. I already have a basic understanding of nuke. If you are interested, please email Kate at kchapp1@gmail.com. Thanks!

Hello folks,
I want to share this video with you:
As you can see we developed a python script to conform xml files from fcp and premiere in nuke. (other programs which generate xml files should work aswell, though not tested)
If you have questions feel free to ask.
We hope to release as soon as possible.
cheers,
jaden
