It's definitely important for editing video and doing VFX work, and lots of the editors/VFX folks I know are using Studios. Raw footage from cine cameras now can be 50-100 MB per second now that we have 12 or 18K cameras, and even

If you want a synth you can buy that has a similar playing style, you could check out the Modern Sounds Pluto: https://www.modernsounds.co/pluto (the original run is sold out but you can find them on ebay/reverb) It&#x

There are quite a few cine cameras that are more than 10x this amount, and there are a few that are 100x. For example, there are Panavision cameras that you can only rent direct from Panavision that require that you have half a million doll

There's lots to laugh at here but my favorite dumb part is talking about wages and wealth inequality: > But the good news doesn’t stop there. We also get higher wages. This is because, at the level of the individual worker, the mark

Ah yeah forgot about V-Ray. I haven't tried Redshift on Metal, nope; all my work has been Renderman and Cycles recently. Curious to hear how well it works, people online seem to say it's pretty fast but hard to tell marketing copy

Octane, Redshift, and eevee/Cycles all work on Metal, and Renderman and Mantra are CPU-only for now -- RM/Mantra have beta-versions that are GPU enabled, and Karma is nvidia-only and RM XPU doesn't work on macs at all yet, bu

Most big-budget feature films are cut on Avid and that's been the case for a while now; for indies my impression is that it's 50/50 Premiere and Resolve, yup.

The workflow many post-production studios use for editing/grading is to keep files on a NAS with proxies (i.e., lower-quality transcodes of the video clips in the edit) on a local disk -- that's the workflow I use even with my des

There's a crazy downside to make_shared that I learned recently because of this: if you have a weak pointer to a shared thing, and the refcount for the shared thing drops to zero, the weak pointers will keep the allocation for the obje

There’s Geometry Nodes now which let you write smaller procedurals that you can combine together the way you’re describing: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/geometry_... They’re extreme

I love Scoot but I'm still peeved at the way Bird handled rolling their scooters out in SF. I trusted Scoot to do the right thing when it came to engaging the city and making sure they use public infrastructure responsibly, but I have

I'm probably going to buy it; I do 3D animation/simulation stuff that gets huge benefits from parallelism, and it sounds like the Ryzen 9 beats everything other than the top-line Threadripper 2990WX (which has 32 cores but only 3G

Architecture/immersive media previz seems to be all C4D + Octane, and I've seen lots of the same in 3D motion graphics as well (although I'm less familiar with the field).

by haldean 7y ago
There's Octane, too, which afaict is used a little more than Redshift, at least in my circles. Adobe Media Encoder (and by extension Premiere and AE) can do multi-GPU rendering as well, which starts to matter when you have huge comps.

Not deleting OpenGL support would be nice, too.

Extremely unreliable; I've only taken the Lake Shore Limited and California Zephyr, so I can't speak for the whole thing, but I'd say I had cell reception about half the time, maybe less.

But they haven't robbed the anti-vaxxers of their platform: they've let them keep their platform, but have decided to not give them their money. They aren't silencing the group at all. That feels like a good way to walk the l

Presumably the UBI would be untaxed, so you can reduce the liveable wage amount by around 30%, right?

C is a little better than presented here because they add a header to the standard library with a #define in it that gives the new identifier a reasonable keyword; for example, you can access `_Bool` as `bool` if you `#include <stdbool.h

What is "properly" though? There's many real numbers that don't have finite representation. Arbitrary precision is all well and good, but as long as you're expressing things as binary-mantissa-times-2^x, you aren&#x
