Hey there, I got accepted into the second round of my dream school for VFX, they gave us an assignment to make a video about "evolving perspective" i made this video, its still pretty rough in some parts but today's the last day so i'm gonna be working on it for over 12 hours i think. I just need good feedback on what i could add that'll make the video jump out more.

The ending isnt finished yet but a mirror lands before the camera and the angle switches where i look into the mirror and i see the sketch version of myself at the beginning in it, after that it zooms in and becomes an infinite loop.

Gonna try and start adding sfx in about 6 hours.

When a rogue animator cuts corners on his latest project, he discovers that in this town, animation turf wars are fought "frame by bloody frame" - but an unseen player is about to change the game forever.

So, this is my playful meditation on the evolving landscape of animation. When a seemingly traditional stop motion piece reveals itself to be digitally created, territorial old-school animators decide to teach the CGI upstart a lesson about respecting the craft. But as these animation factions clash over technique and tradition, neither realises they're both being rendered obsolete by emergent AI technology lurking in the shadows.

I'm a creator on there and just received this message:

The file name seemed strange from the name immediately so I asked them to email me and send a blend alone. But I decided to extract it anyways as its safe without running.

I opened the blend file inside, but before doing that disabled 'auto run python scripts' in the prefs. Thank god I did because sure enough it tried to auto run a python file. I had a look at it was very well disguised as a animation toolkit script, but after inspecting I found it opens the cmd and makes requests to their own server. Its completely separate code to the blender addon's stuff and is even titled 'run_main_script' so it couldn't be any more obvious that it's malware.

I'm going to leave auto run scripts off from now on.

It goes without saying be wary on the internet but I thought I'd make a post as the initial message is very well written, and I could definitely see people falling for this as its not obvious for people who don't use scripts. Everything looks legit except for the file name. Even the script looked pretty usual I had to dig for the malware code.

The 3 things that gave it away for me were the lack of a specific reference to me(they can mass send that message and it looks legit) strange file name and a message on somewhere I don't usually get commission messages from.

If someone can give them at blendermarket/superhive a heads up about this that would be great as im busy but I'll message them later when I get time.

Stay safe guys.

the penis stuff is getting a bit repetitive ill do something else tomorrow 💔

I'm going for a found footage feel

I tried to recreate this image, lmk how I did any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've got an hdri and an area light. Im having a bit of problem with lighting.
The roof material is a ceramic pbr texture, the hdri seems to be shining through it although I have transparency on.

I got inspired from BeesAndBombs for this one. He has a lot of loops on this theme. Blender has become fully capable as a creative coding (noodling) tool.

Here it is, sound and all. Gotta present it to the councils tomorrow and hopefully they'll let me study there :)
Thanks for all the kind feedback

Can anyone point me to the right direction? What terms to research, what concepts to research. Any help appreciated!

Last time I modelled something using Blender, I think the community was still looking forward to the 2.5 version that changed everything... Oh how time flies...

Anyway, the last two days I decided to go back and use my lunch break to do some 3d tinkering, and started modeling a Necron warrior from Warhammer 40k (

)

Just made the head, but I'm pretty happy with the overall topology, what do you think ?
I don't know yet if I'll try to light it, I'm just happy pushing vertices around, as of now !

The full render is 10000x5000 px.

Just finished some product renders for a small Canadian brewery. Would love some feedback on how you think these could be improved!

I usually add a pixelation layer to most of my animations (mosaic on premiere pro) but in this specific animation it just looks blurry? If you guys have any ideas why pls lmk

I created a chocolate bar with a soft, marzipan-like raspberry filling and little chocolate crunchies inside. My goal is to show the product from the inside and make it look delicious
