The parent poster is correct though. "Disengagement rate" is the term used in the industry, and what would get you results in google searches. "Disconnect rate" is not what it's called, so it's helpful to corre

If all 261 unfoldings tile space, it makes me wonder if all arbitrary collections of 8 connected cubes do as well. Is there an example of 8 cubes that are proven to not tile space?

“ Their content is so profitable that the people in charge don't really give a fuck.” Sorry but that’s completely wrong. Almost every animation or vfx studio is barely scraping by. Margins have been reduced so much for film work it’s e

The expression is "jump through hoops". Sorry to nitpick.

I replied on the original thread too, but I wonder if it’d work to use a mipmapped dither texture in texture space like this old hatching paper: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.28.... It probab

One of San Francisco's problems, from the perspective of being appealing to outsiders, is that there are a few small areas with lots of homeless and the other problems you describe. And those also happen to be the main areas visited by

I think a better analogy are all the assistants and apprentices that worked in the larger Renaissance studios. They produced work in the style of the masters, or duplicated their works, but they weren't doing original work, and are mos

The digital artists at big studios that he's talking about are micromanaged precisely like this. I think concept artists maybe have more freedom for creativity, but the majority of artists in animation and film graphics are constantly

Good luck getting a job at Pixar or WDAS without doing a lot of contract work at smaller studios to build up your reel first.

I am a visual effects animator at one of the major VFX studios, and did not go to art school so I am one of these self-taught graphic artists. And I totally agree with what you're saying here. I don't consider what I do to be art.

I wondered about the same thing. Weird it's not remarked on more in the article.

Again, I would wager that you have seen many, many shots on TV and in movies which were fully, 100% CG already. You just didn't notice because they really were indistinguishable. We've definitely already crossed that boundary in m

I work in film vfx, and if you think we dont compare our rendered images to real photographs and video constantly, then you dont really know how modern graphics are produced. We shoot reference for everything, and use things like goniorefle

Why are people getting bent out of shape about the word "unique"? It is unique because Jupiter has features that we have not observed on any other planet, some of which are mentioned in the article (different types of storm system

Yeah I still use it daily, and now I'm worried it's going away. I wonder how many holdouts there are out there?

It does tease with hidden information by making you want to read the article to see what "this disease" is. And the "unstoppable" bit, while true, reads as very sensationalist. A less clickbaity title might be something

There are only so many jobs to be had at ILM and Pixar, and its been a while since I've checked but I think ILM is mostly hiring for its studios in London, Vancouver and Singapore.

Also there are a lot of really nice parts that you wouldn't typically see on a brief visit, both in the city and surrounding area. The homeless are definitely a real problem but in my day to day life I somehow manage to avoid it almost

I havnt used either, but my impression was that Magic Leap's technology is basically projecting a light field into your eyes, so you eyes can actually focus naturally.. as opposed to looking at an image with fixed focal distance like t

I'd recommend running them by someone for whom English is a first language before using any of these.

Do people really not pay their nannies and housecleaners if they cancel on them? Paying so they dont miss out on the income they expect just seems like the decent thing to do. My nanny actually has a contract and this is stipulated in it.

In most languages, things as common as square root would be part of a standard library which everyone uses, so there wouldn't be any question. That also means it would obviously be well-tested and vetted, because everyone depends on it

Even if it's named after the sonic boom the plane makes, you would think they would be trying to minimize that association as much as possible. People dont like sonic booms. Seems like an awfully tone-deaf choice.

There are still hunter-gatherer groups existing today, and their happiness levels can be studied. I wonder how their level of snark compares to more modern societies.
