redshift if motion vector is enabled it automatically doesn't render with motion blur baked motion blur can still be on redshift can only take 4 domes redshift exposure 0 to 1 is 1 stop renderman lower texture quality, for motion blur to pick up better samples frame buffer > motion vector, is its own drop down box comp flare : is artifacts glare : bright light source cause spreading of light, washed out look nuke cam increase the sky dome size if the nuke shot cam is going out of it and rendering black roto plate blue screen plate frame range could be different underwater creatures don't have sheen they are very diffuse comping a fake sun, the core needs to be very hot, like a dynamic HDRI the core can't be soft supervisor's render priority broken renders p1 shot model updates p2 higher samples p3 creative approval first  tech check second final last how to review hair the hair shouldn't flop together as one piece it should have some individual pieces object cr

if there is a 180 degree camera pan shot, and there is a clear cut point, can cheat different light rigs post-move means animation takes the plate, and places it in a certain place to mix with the cg anim does matchmove clean up and polish, they are different tasks for houdini single frame files in shot, hold end frame and change to single file for aerial huge wide shots with mountains, far clipping plane makes a difference, 1000 will cut the environment off, 100000000 the whole environment will fit search level, shot level and any level is different, any level is the whole show library pre-comp grabs anim qc in the nuke tree for comparison in show dailies present the question if motion blur too blurry and long, try half shutter drag utility CTN into hypershade hair render problem, can update hair attributes itself to fix, like, width , strand, and length optimize max tessellation subdivisions, and max tessellation length redshift object properties controls overrides for optimization h

cease, flexible, purpose, believe anytime, even unprepared, cease the chance, cease the moment be flexible with rules, rules are just tools to get from a to b less relationship focused, more purpose focused, think side as main, look at Sebastian make the world better, look at Scott 99 percent of the people on the street are not your role model, if you want to see the 1 percent fitness role model, go to a callisthenic park, they won't be randomly walking on the street believe in myself, look at Kelly, anyone new or old can do systems, discipline, boring systems and strategies, over motivation discipline, over motivation boring stuff, over motivation delay gratification flip, adapt when thinking story, flip everything observe fashion on the street and adapt, observe and adapt eggs, cheat eat eggs everyday cheat day re-feed (trajectory up) to break metabolism plateau (trajectory flat) , to keep trajectory going down

Every shot, whether its radio dialogue, background scenery, prop objects, how the camera moves, or what the season is, all move the story forward. Every shot, is layer by layer taking us somewhere. Kubrik motifs circle shape - in 2001 space odyssey, the circle shape comes out in space ships, interiors, planets, to echo the theme of the circular life and death pattern costume design - flips it, uses white, like innocence, a cane and a hat, of a gentleman, to dress the thugs in a clockwork orange Spielberg motifs use color of the clothes to emphasize a character, like in empire of the sun , when Christian bale is lost, he is the only person wearing red in the crowd Opening titles motif I am Groot - fast forward marvel logo, Groot's head bumps into the screen Better call Saul - tape recorder effect , music abruptly stops Ozark - just a simple o, with 4 symbols and chilling music

USD USD is about layering, different from linear alembic pipeline material x  material x is for cross compatibility between vendors maya export, import uncheck preserve reference so the export, imported object won't attach camera reference, for example, or there will be double camera in the scene adjust projection content translation need to adjust the projection camera translation, not the light how to make vray lights not visible in reflection turn effect reflection off on the lights people interacting with none existing cg creatures green clothed man, can hold a dragon plastic head don't act to something empty, any reference is good maya preferences delete or rename preferences, to go back to default maya preferences blue or green screen shots check roto compare final comp to the blue or green screen plate, to check and review the roto misc every shot has a neutral grade reflection attenuation - reflection intensity decreases farther down the contact point rgb yellow is 100

Eckhart Tolle 說 : 不要抗拒任何出現的東西 對於已經出現的東西，不要覺得它不應該出現 (don't demand anything that arises should not arise) 不要被噪音動搖，讓噪音成為打坐的一部分 當你對噪音 (負面能量) 做出「反擊」時，你就會「成為」負面能量 (when you react to toxic energy, you become part of the toxic energy) 唯一能超越它的方法，是透過完全的接納 (the only way you can get beyond it, is by deep acceptance of what is)

Before the argument She doesn’t need to like you, she needs to respect you Obligations don’t work Space is important Don’t be thirsty, do purpose, let her come No fear In the argument Don’t argue anything Stand up for myself, point it out Never answer anything logically, never explain Be honest about my feelings, stand my ground I make the rules Reply light When you react, you become part of it After the argument Don’t show anger just leave Take away attention Feel it, accept it, transcend it uncertainty, unavailability done congruently creates attraction come from position of strength listen
