Hasta La Motion!

Hello! Just wondering if you maybe able to help! I have a rather large tree and connecting nodes over a distance is becoming a little tedious. So my question is, like there is in shake the "select top node, then shift click on the input to connect", is there anything of that equivalent in nuke?

Many thanks

Hi I was just wondering what are the worst and best companies to work for? I have one company in particular, Stereo D. At my last gig, some former artists that worked there said they were bad to work for. They said some of the supervisors had ego trips. I was just wondering if anyone had similar experiences, or know of any other "terrible" studios. Sometimes its not all about the money. It is about a pleasant work environment where you work on awesome projects, meet new colleagues, and not have to work 14 hour days! That is just my opinion. Anyone feel free to share your two cents on this matter.

Hi,

We are at the end stage of our Pizza Cats project. There are about 5 shots left that need to be done. Im not really an animator. There is a shot wheren the characters looks at the camera and winks. When I animate it it just looks to static. I want to ask if someone wants to help me out a bit. It should not take to much time. I’ve done some preperations to the model already.

I really hope someone wants to help. So we can finnaly round up the project.

Here is a still from the short.

Thanks in advance,
Maarten
