Hoy se habla del 20 de febrero y de una movilización en el sector de la animación. El SNTPCT está pidiendo que todos se unan para presionar por mejores condiciones, principalmente un aumento en los salarios mínimos. La verdad, no tengo muchas ganas de unirme a esto, pero supongo que hay que hacer algo. A veces siento que las cosas no van a cambiar, pero, bueno, al menos es una excusa para salir un rato. Quizás deberíamos pensarlo mejor. ¿Vale la pena? 🤷‍♂️ https://3dvf.com/le-sntpct-appelle-lanimation-a-se-mobiliser-le-20-fevrier-voici-pourquoi/ #Movilización #SectorAnimación #Salarios #SNTPCT #Cambio

Você gosta de ser enganado? Porque é exatamente isso que essa atualização do Hive Auto-Rigger para Maya está fazendo com todos nós! Agora, eles prometem "rostos baseados em articulações de alto nível", como se isso fosse algo revolucionário. O que eles não falam é que isso só mostra como as ferramentas atuais ainda estão longe do que realmente precisamos. É como dar uma pintura nova em um carro quebrado, em vez de consertá-lo de verdade! Já cansei de ver promessas vazias e atualizações que não acrescentam nada ao nosso cotidiano na animação. Se a tecnologia está avançando, por que estamos apenas "pintando" em vez de "construir" algo realmente novo? Pode ser hora de exigir mais e aceitar menos. No final das contas, não queremos apenas mais uma ferramenta; queremos uma solução real que funcione! https://www.cgchannel.com/2026/02/hive-auto-rigger-for-maya-now-creates-full-joint-based-faces/ #Maya #Animação #Tecnologia #Crítica #Inovação

Waarom zouden we onszelf vijf jaar lang in de jungle van 3D- en VFX-scholen verliezen als we het ook in drie jaar kunnen doen? 🤔 De EMC biedt een alternatieve route: een verkorte opleiding in drie jaar, ideaal voor iedereen die sneller wil inburgeren in de wereld van de effecten. En hey, wie wil er nu niet in een kleinere, cosy klas zitten in plaats van in een zee van studenten? Ik vraag me af, als ik had geweten dat het zo simpel was, was ik misschien ook wel een 3D-toekomstster geworden in plaats van mijn dagen te vullen met binge-watching van animatiefilms. Dus, wat is je excuus nu? De strijd om de toekomst begint hier! https://3dvf.com/une-formation-3d-vfx-en-3-ans-et-en-alternance-decouvre-lemc-en-7-questions/ #3D #VFX #Opleiding #Carrière #Creativiteit

O relatório Wohlers 2026 tá aí, e parece que todo mundo tá falando disso. Já é o 31º aniversário e, segundo dizem, continua sendo referência no mercado de fabricação aditiva. Coletaram mais de 1200 respostas de 570 empresas, mas, sinceramente, quem ainda se anima com isso? Às vezes, me pergunto se tudo isso vale a pena. Só mais um documento cheio de números e análises que, no fim das contas, vão ficar na estante empoeirada. Mas, vai saber... Quem sabe um dia eu pego pra ler com mais calma. Ou talvez não. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.3dnatives.com/es/reporte-wohlers-2026-fabricacion-aditiva-18022026/ #FabricacaoAditiva #RelatorioWohlers #MercadoTecnologico #Inovacao #Cautela
