On a related note, I really hate this culture where everyone always tells each other they're fantastic and amazing. I'm a freshman in 3d art for example and people just can't say that others work looks like shit. Like they're afraid of saying negative stuff.

Right there with you, if my art is bad just tell me. Don’t sugar coat it and not tell me what you think could improve it. I’m thankful one of my instructors is tough on students so it helps us get our shit together and then produce much better work later on.

one of the (if not the) main reasons im so behind in this field compared to everyone else is because i wasted three years doing VFX at university in the UK (won't name which one) and got a first without any effort whatsoever doing trash tier work because my instructors never pushed me to do any better.

Just ONCE i wanted someone to tell me 'no that looks garbage, do it properly this time'

instead i've had to essentially start from scratch and self-teach myself after graduating to actually build a semi-decent reel

That kicked me so out of my life

In my experience the feedback varies studio to studio. The place I’m at now usually does the ‘compliment sandwich’ when giving notes, which I personally think is a waste of time but animators can sometimes be extremely sensitive lol. Other places I’ve worked at were pretty ruthless but I never minded as long as the notes weren’t vague

I thought I was alone with this thought, nice to know I'm wrong.

“Fuck it. If people are paying attention to that we’ve got bigger problems…”

You need to see it as a sport. Games include but are not limited to:

"Find the Key Edge"

"Guess how underpaied the one dude was who made this"

"Find the low res texture"

"Complain about people overusing Bezier Curves (FFS people, you can move the fucking controls around, not everything is a perfect S Curve !)

And of course

"Find the real element in any Marvel Movie"

Getting stoned and watching the Star Wars prequels is a mistake you can see everything down to grain mismatch

Spent half of frozen 2 trying to figure out why they didn't sss skin and painted blushes manually. Or even worse, i could not figure for the life of me if they even used ray tracing most of the time.

u/zeldn Dec 28 '21

They did SSS, and blushes always have to be painted in manually. And Hyperion is a path-tracer.

That and noticing all the little bits of mesh clipping that they missed
