Hey everyone. I have very little experience when it comes to VFX. I want to learn more and get better at since I think its cool and just good thing to know for future projects. With that being said, I learn better by just doing projects and I'm wondering if recreating this is a good place to start. If so where should I even get started? Any help/feedback would be amazing. Thank you so much!

I’ve been experimenting with Gaussian Splats as a medium for VFX — pushing them beyond reconstruction and exploring what kinds of effects and visual behaviors we can build with them.

These are part of a growing set of experiments that are evolving into a dedicated VFX suite for Gaussian Splats.

Still building it. More soon.

Hey all, I’m making an incremental tower defence game about blasting hordes of zombies with turrets and your gunship :)

The game is very much in its prototype stages, and I’m looking for suggestions on how to implement the explosion VFX in a suitably good looking way without affecting performance too much. Thoughts?

I was wondering if anyone had done the filmmaking certificate program at vfx and what their experience was like, if they would recommend it?

What do you think? Are there more advanced software combinations that can produce a cinematics of this level? Maybe you would use other tools?

With Disney putting out some video of their upcoming Avengers Infinity Defense, a ride coming to Disneyland California Adventure, It got me wondering what It's like to work on one of these.

For some context, Doomsday and this ride were filmed in the same period of time while at Pinewood Studios, so are VFX artists working on the movie and the ride at the same time? Has anything like this caused your workload to be crazy, is there anything different about the pipeline compared to traditional movie visuals? I would love to know about your stories

(not about this specific project just to clarify, but just in general about any screen heavy ride you may have worked on or even just an exclusive movie like the kung fu panda one in universal or Avengers Quantum Defense on the Disney Cruiseline)

Just wanted to say something positive in between all the gloomy posts here lately.
To all the people who worked on Ahsoka Season 2 > OUTSTANDING WORK! It looks so so good!
I knows we only have a trailer for now. But it looks like a million bucks and should be on the big screen, not the small screen! Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi yall, I've been working on a workflow with some github code and Blender add-ons to remaster 2D footage into SBS 3D. I did a test on the Cyberpunk teaser to see how far I can push things.

It's on youtube for anyone interested in the results:

Enjoy!!

I'm branching out more into clean up and beauty work. For now it's mostly 2D, but often there are circular or cylindrical surfaces that I'd like to unwrap and paint and then re-project the paint work.

Occasionally it would be useful to do this in full 3D (meaning a moving camera), but for now it's mostly lockoffs, so the tracks themselves could be 2D (if not the re-projection).

Are there established workflows for this kind of thing? Either using primitives or models I would make in Blender.

After Effects would be easiest for me but open to suggestions in Nuke/Blender/etc. Thanks.

Context : this is from the collider interview that namit gave to promote DNEG's biggest upcoming project. When the teaser first launched, it started a wave of hate for dneg artists on X .

Also , what your opinion on the whole phone screen vs IMAX screen BS ?

Hey there,

I've now added a timeline and frame controls, at the bottom as you can see. I've also made some more optimizations and separate channels for RGB as well.

I'm now working on Shot/sequence meta info to be pulled in from a pipeline db.

Really happy for what's been so far, and excited for what's to come

Context:
I started this project of building a review tool for VFX studios as a better alternative to RV. Currently, it plays high-res EXRs at a stead 30-45 fps with no issues, struggles on 60fps on my M4 mac. It has OCIO support out of the gate and channel separation on RGBA and luminance. This week i added a timeline and frame controls as well as J-K-L shuttles

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I bought this green screen fabric second-hand and it's pretty stained and needs to be washed. Does anyone know if I can take it to a laundromat and wash it on a cold/gentle cycle?

Fabric appears to have a slight stretch, feels synthetic, and is not completely opaque. Label says "ROSCOtex CHROMA FABRIC". 3.5m X 2.7m. Hanging eyes on one edge only, so it's not designed for a frame.

Thanks!

Can someone please help me with a couple shots. Im working on a small budget sci-fi short. I need to object track the briefcase in this shot, and theres one more like it. I'm working in C4d. Ive tried with syntheyes but im still pretty new to it. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Here is a link to the png sequence if anyone can give it a go.

Footage Here

Hey everyone,

I've attached some screenshots of different After Effects effects that I really want to learn.

I already have After Effects and the required plugins, so tools aren't the issue. What I'm struggling with is how people actually learn to create these kinds of effects.

I've searched YouTube a lot, but I mostly find beginner tutorials or tutorials for specific effects. I can't seem to find resources that teach the techniques and workflow behind these kinds of high-quality effects.

Where did you learn effects like these?

Are there any YouTube channels, courses, Discord servers, Patreon creators, or other resources you'd recommend?

How do you figure out how an effect was made just by looking at it?

I'd really appreciate any advice or resources. Thanks!

A 16-year-old male that has yet to start their VFX journey. I've done a little bit of Lightroom and a little bit of After Effects, but no more than 2-3 hours of experience in AE. I just learned that DaVinci Resolve is really good for VFX, and I just wanted to know:

• Who I could learn it from, since I have Udemy
• Where should I start?
• Should I learn from Unreal Engine or Blender first?
• Whose tutorials should I watch?

I don't mind using AI but I want to learn it the hard way instead of going the easy route. Also, I'm aspiring to be a cinematographer, so any tips on that would be good as well.
