@gleb_alexandrov Everything Id ever produced with EEVEE has been fed into comp to make it photorealistic. Even if I find some older files they look super flat raw haha.

Ok, Blender artists - does anyone uses Eevee for *photorealistic work*? Feel free to share your photorealistic Eevee anims/renders 👀 #b3d

@Shawnimator You’re a good guy Shawn. Right on.

Art is more important than ever right now. What you are animating right now is important and will matter to someone. A lot of people will need escape for their mental health (me included) over the next few years, and we as artists and storytellers can help bring that to them.

@Cartesian_C You and me both.

Awesome buddy. Best of luck to you!

@DrewMcWeeny They had an awesome manager for years there.

@jdhattin Me too lol.

@jdhattin That sounds like at the point you add the LUT it like, “compounds” everything. The CDL should make things “agnostic” and in my mind, in that flow, Resolve should just adjust using the LUT, not destroy the space. It sounds internal.. Maybe tech support could help, hopefully.

@jdhattin I’m not full-time comp though (Houdini mostly), but I’d been deep in Resolve here and there and it’s always a gamble lol. At work, Nuke makes it easy though we don’t get LUTs from agencies or shows (not entertainment) so it’s far simpler. Houdini exr -> Nuke -> edit.. blah…

@jdhattin I don’t know if this will help and you’d probably been there already but Resolve has like 3 or 4 places to muck with color. Project settings, Timeline settings, Fusion nodes, and Color page nodes. It’s crazy as some will override others and it’s a bit to remember, and the docs..

@esdi Sweet! Thanks. I’d been meaning to check out the wine to the east. So far the Central Coast, specifically SLO has been amazing.

@kevbinge Sunestone Winery in Santa Ynez. According to Memory Alpha. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ch%C3%A2t….

Chateau Picard is an actual house at an actual vineyard in Southern California, but we had a fully CG version of it that we used for shots with these big camera moves. I took existing characters that I re-textured to look like Seven and Raffi. #StarTrek

In 2002 at a show in NYC, this guy changed my entire Lightwave workflow for the better. He’s been there, done that, and taken names.

For those whom follow me, here’s a fellow VFX artist also starting/running a cooking channel. Check it out, it’s full of quick and useful real-world tips for when you’re waiting on sims or renders and don’t want to reach for Doritos anymore, or just time off the machine 😀.

Today we’re publishing a statement on AI training, signed by 10,000+ creators already: “The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.” Signatories include James Patterson, Björn Ulvaeus, Julianne Moore, Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, and many more.

@jdhattin That’s awesome news. I’m rooting for you guys.

I’m not in Toronto, but if you are in Toronto… 😀

I just launched a new course - The Exterior Masterclass. You can save 20% right now with the code LAUNCH. #b3d decoded.gumroad.com/l/exteriormast… youtu.be/30XM5u8_FB8

@agraphafx That was a fast renderer at the time.

These ads are one of the things that made us all buy Electric Image software for our Macintosh computers.

@openvisualfx I love the pocket sized color checker. Good luck, and I hope it’s goes smoothly 😀.

Going to set next week for the first time in a while, should be fun! I'm as prepared as I can possibly be. :) #VFX #Compositing

@jdhattin I could be wrong but I definitely see it that way too. The tell is where the smart money moves, right? Where are those whom were early in. What are their current positions on the commanding heights of this whole thing? Short? It’s all so insane, and I was part of the .com rush.

An entire cross-section of the strange oxymoronic current Hollywood AI conundrum in one tweet and reply. This really is it. (I’ll add in paid influence campaigns to push the hype and gaslight as well, but that’s anecdotal right now.)
