"And it's so great to not see greenscreen anywhere in the footage" of the "Superman Day" BTS video on YouTube.

Oh you sweet summer children. Aside from the blue screen that is actually in there and visible, I'd put good money on this being a giant greenscreen that had the color taken out for the video. I also saw what was clearly the backs of LED wall panels if we want to gripe about other non-practical things.

I don't know why they do this for promo....

Screen cap from "Superman Day" behind the scenes YouTube video, where is appears the silhouette of Superman, sans full cape, is rigged with wires and is flying in front of a greenscreen, but the green has been removed for the PR video. The sillhouette of James Gunn, watching the performance, in in the foreground.

Hey everyone, we've just shared a fantastic Cosmic Web Geometry Nodes effect for Blender. It is useful for creating superstructures resembling galactic filaments – that actually run super fast and are super well optimized.

Gotta hand it to Brady Johnston for sharing this crazy fast Plexus. And a major thanks to Erindale‬ for the always incredibly helpful Discord community for fans.

Check the tutorial & the downloads:

JWcph, Radicalized By Decency

Somehow, despite having quite a few #PopCulture buffs in my bubble, I only heard about "Adolesence" in an off-hand remark by a friend yesterday - and then today it's featured on #CorridorCrew 😝 looks sick & my friend said it's really good, too, in addition to being technically impressive; def gonna have to check it out 🤩

I took another look at the progress of xSTUDIO, the media player and review application for #VFX. Seems like development is taking place not on their github but at internally at #DNEG. There is a development branch that got a few massive commits this year to sync it with their internal codebase.

Has anybody tried it yet or managed to compile it? It would be great to replace the Foundry's Hiero/Nuke Studio or the dog slow RV player...

We did what we needed, over delivered and made it look good, probably taught them all kinds of basics on how to get CG projects done and everyone was happy.

We never heard from them again after that project. I dunno, they probably became big CG commercial producers or something afterwards. :)

It quickly was determined they had *no* idea what they were talking about or doing, and further discovered they had gotten this project through a contact at Microsoft, intended on doing it themselves, but didn't know how and then came to us. And didn't want Microsoft to know it was us executing and not them

One was frat boyish and the other explained all things with sound effects and gestures. so we called them "Sparky and Sonic Boy" behind their backs.

One of the strangest CGI project I've worked on was footage that played during the installation of Windows 95 on you computer. Animating and moving Windows logo elements. I assume it played millions of times, but probably watched by no one as they walked away and waited for the OS to install.

Two "producers" approached Rhythm and Hues with the project, as if it was a very prestigious thing and asked us all kinds of questions like "what format would you make it in?"
