If you're trying out the new Blender 4.1 release and you do green/blue screen work, I highly recommend the new Keying Screen node in the compositor. The feature has been around for a while, but it's vastly improved in 4.1. I just finished a project that used it in the beta release and can vouch for it 100%— I used beta specifically for that feature! #blender3d#blender#vfx
Fear is the mind killer in the latest episode of the #VFX Show. Mike Seymour, Jason Diamond, & Matt Wallin discuss the absoultely stellar visual effects in the highly anticipated Denis Villeneuve film, Dune: Part 2. Listen for free @fxguide.
I wouldn't call it fun for anyone at the time, but seeing a scene and learning it was a disaster of a shoot entirely bailed out by #VFX and I had no idea is always an amazing thing.
Watching #Monarch again after seeing a talk on it, I appreciate it even more.
On the season 2 premiere episode of 8111 I talk with Visual Effects Supervisor Stephen Rosenbaum. His career is nothing short of incredible.

Hip hip hooray for "Godzilla Minus One," the first Godzilla movie to win an Oscar. It won in the Best Visual Effects category. Variety has all the details on how the film was made with 35 VFX artists and a $15 million budget.
I really, really, REALLY hate 'Eye Adaption' as a graphics technology. Like, a lot. It's never done well and it just makes it harder to see things when I need to. Not least of all because it's always based on the position of the camera, not the character I'm controlling
Can we please just kill this tech? Please, #gamedev#vfx?
While performing research on the Web today, I spotted this great page of presentations from #SIGGRAPH '23. Since #ACM is opening up its content for public access, all of the presentations on this page can be viewed & downloaded for free! 🥳🎈
I reviewed each course, and I must say, this is the most comprehensive set of topics I've seen in a while - most have matured and are now being commercialized
I know that probably has been there for a while, but have never activated it! :ablobattention:
Do you also use #orgRoam ?
This is a core node with an index, not sure if I should use it or link nodes differently.. but comes handy and can always disable it with filters :abloblamp:
