I feel like in times of #AppleVisionPro, being able to handle a 3D software like #Blender is some kind of superpower. Not only for assets but also for cool marketing renderings. It’s definitely on my list of tools I‘d like to learn next 📋
Can anyone recommend good resources for that? I’m grateful for any tip!
@vincefried The donut tutorial is sort of a right of passage... but if you are starting from scratch this would be where I would suggest you start. Even though they are on v4.x these principals still hold true
Ask for all oceans to be set at the origin 0 on y-axis. Open up Layout and the cameras are all underwater?! Oh look they decided to set the water to -35! Whhhhyyy?!!? What are the other sequences set too?! Now I have to go on damage control!
The joys of working on assets for another company that is handling layout/anim.
We're slowly moving to a more prescribed pipeline, where the artists do not need to know where files are on disk, only how to find them in the asset management system. Where the artists don't need to know what packages they need to select to do their work, just what app.
We'll get there... eventually.
And then it will all change when the next supe is hired. 🙃
@yantor3d Thats pretty much our pipeline. We sadly have quite a high staff turn around (short projects), so it was easier for the pipeline to handle all files/folders, etc than expecting artists to learn & do all that correctly.
@yantor3d Oh wow. Yeah our core team is only 5 supervisors (excluding HR, CEO's, etc... when no projects are in) and excluding one sup who has been with the company 10+ years we are all in the 5year zone. Its been nice to having a fresher thinking/agile core, but also feels like we constantly loosing institutional knowledge.
@yantor3d Oooph dont get me started on documentation! I am always on at people to write documentation & or make tutorials (artists) on processes. I feel like I am the bad guy often. Do they though?!
@yantor3d I need to start personally having unit tests. You previously linked me to some articles regarding it.
Next stop is having the whole studio on it. I just suspect that being such a small team, we wont have the time.
Took my car in to check on a squeeking drum brake. Pick it up and the guy says, 'its safe to drive, but you must get the brake professionally checked'... drive away and brake and it makes the most horrendous sound! Now I'm too scared to drive it, so having it towed to the brake place. WTF! Useless mechanic gives back a car worse than before!
Tweaking my website a touch, thinking about adding a digital garden to it 🤔
Just been writing a python script to convert markdown to html with all the minor tweaks my pages need to fit the styling. Ideally this will encourage me to post more often 😅
@mbt3d Yeah I tried Hugo a year ago. Spent so much time fighting with the theme & it failing to work/reading documentation that doing it myself was quicker! Its a simple site after all
I find it most frustrating when one department doesnt check thier deliverable to the next, it just causes much confusion for everyone involved. Especially when the recieving dept believes the file they recieved is correct & complete.
@organicmaps How would someone put in a formal request to split a country download into its smaller states? Example, the island of Zanzibar from Tanzania (537mb)?
