    Save Point 7.4 pipeline update

    Definitely a major improvement on the previous versions. The characters are really starting to look now like "independent actors" within the scene, rather than simple component parts of an animated background.

    OK, you posted that while I was adding my nickle-and-dime advice. :bag: It's not a great idea to give the client all the pictures, unless you're taking so much care with each and every one that you never make any mistakes. If you're rattling off several dozen shots, some will have an eye closed...

    We're getting into hard-core business "stuff" here (leave your artistry at the door ... :D ) but it's important too. Nate's right about the psychological effect of "random" pricing - as long as there's some consistency to it. A good way to get to this "random" price is to break down the package...

    Hence my emphasis on the phrase working with you, not for you. ;) You've a long way to go before the situation will arise, but you're heading straight into service that - if managed correctly - can generate a lot of repeat business. That one guy or gal who comes to you for head shot may treat...

    One more thing: your choice of font. You have four different fonts on display - two in the logo, one for the heading and footer, one for the menu. That's not good design practice (loads of articles on this topic if you google it) and while it might not make a difference to a wreck-recovery...

    Agree with @Nate North about the layout of the photos on the page (viewed on a 19:6 laptop screen). While the pictures themselves are fine, the presentation as-is is very flat. While your portfolio is still a bit thin, at the very least I would consider combining each set of three into a kind of...

    software Premiere Pro getting AI Editing

    Yeah. For all the slickness in that promo, the few examples given are real out-of-the-box-bog-standard-stock-footage. Now while that might be suitable for churned-out, throwaway video, I don't believe this "AI" algorithm will be any better than the others at not producing homogenised visuals...

    lighting Let there be light... metering

    Congratulations on becoming a pro. :woohoo: In a few of his other videos, P.McC shows how to get around that problem using reflectors and mirrors, with repeated examples of where to place them, at what angle and when to shield them. A novelty wig on a balloon would give you plenty of scope...

    From the French government website: - for your reference, the rather clunky auto-translated English version https://entreprendre.service-public.fr/vosdroits/F23211?lang=en (a straightforward Google translate is marginally better) - for your customer, the original French version...

    lighting Let there be light... metering

    You can never have too much detail in still photography! If you're achieving that kind of high resolution, then your camera settings are perfect; any further improvements should be done with the use of filters, either the "hard copy" version in front of the lens or (more professional) digital...

    crew Would anyone who has worked on film production in a studio answer this form for my A-Level Product Design research?

    I don't meet the criteria to respond to the questionnaire, but as someone with a certain amount of project management experience (including design-and-built projects) your request/proposal seems, at first reading, to be excessively broad and insufficiently focused - which might explain why you...

    software This is the reason 3D model sites like P3DM RU and The Models Resource exist

    Well, this might be why you're getting so much negative feedback in other places when you tie it to the Columbine massacre. The cold-blooded murder of a dozen teenagers and attempted murder of hundreds more is - in most people's minds - not a suitable subject for parody or trivialisation.

    software This is the reason 3D model sites like P3DM RU and The Models Resource exist

    Yes, you can. Major projects are abandonned all the time, and you don't have to look far from home for an example: Burj Al Babas, near Mudurnu, Turkey What is this mission anyway? A quick check of IMDB suggests there are already about a dozen movies and documentaries related to the Columbine...

    software This is the reason 3D model sites like P3DM RU and The Models Resource exist

    No, they don't; and if they did, they wouldn't care because it's something you decided for yourself. Nobody gave you this mission, and - as you're finding out - nobody else cares enough about it to help you. No, you don't have to hurry up, because no matter how fast you go, how quickly you get...

    Instead of just talking ......

    Serious question: what's the appeal (for you) in re-telling a story that's already been written, rather than writing your own from scratch? While I can see creative value in looking at a familiar tale from a new perspective*, do you think you'll achieve much satisfaction re-writing an existing...

    ai AI Video has arrived - It looks incredible

    The (extraordinarily high) energy consumption of AI seems to have suddenly become a hot topic in my corner of YouTube. Up to now, the operators of the various systems have been quite cagey regarding the subject, and attributing a lot of consumption to the (supposedly) one-off cost of...

    See: it's a political problem, not a technological one! :D These roommates might eventually have the option of acquiring a Figure (kitchen assistant edition) but they'll probably end up fighting over who didn't renew the monthly subscription, or who clicked yes to the clothes-washing add-on...
