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 ca…

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.…

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

Note also the picture of her at the top of the page.

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/viewdo…

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…

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 w…

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…

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 …

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. W…

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 sh…

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 mention…

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 l…

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…

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 …

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 n…
