I don't know why, but I'm just seeing this post. Nice one. Yes we can and dats me speaking for myself on dat. Indeed, standards can only come from collaboration bcuz even if u know all d sections of Animation, ull still need time to express urself. That's one thing I'm doing currently with construction and even if there are people doing it already, I hope to achieve mine differently. Going back to Animation will be by way of skits and shot movies for me. And I still have rendering resolutions to contend with. For now.
And now dat U've mentioned it, abeg borrow me dat your rat wey u been model dat time. It's in sights for camera matching.

Do u want it in a rigged pose?

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Every part if this world belongs to God Almighty and not to any Python.

Dont you understand Metaphors. Or are You just a bland philistine?

OruExpress:
In Igbo cosmology, Ala, the earth, delivers messages using pythons. We believe that if you understand one thing you understand all things. Those that observe the python are observing the rivers and those who are observing the rivers are learning about Ala.

In the beginning of the world all was water. This water is called Oshimirri. Yorubas call it Osun Oyi. The primordial water where all things come from. When Oshimmiri formed into Ala, the streams and rivers remained and from then the python emerged.

the Python is the messenger of Ala. And because it was on the land before man, man had to negotiate with the python to inherit its land. The Python is the true land lord in many communities and the laws of the land similar to lease agreement. An oath ancestors make with Ala in order to remain worthy of the lands gifts. Every now and then a python emerges, and performs a function similar to a land lord touring their property.

Where the pythons meet, shrines are build because the presence of Ala is concentrated there.

Some people believe we worship pythons or even the shrine. That is not true. We respect the python because it was there before us and seek to live in peace with it as tenets on this earth. Shrines indicate where spirits gather and the python being the messenger, knows where.

You should work as a script writer....youbremind of those ckassic greek, roman myths classics i read while young.

Thanks for this

Thank God for Nnamdi Kanu....

Toroso:
I do not understand your rumbling but I know Germany became strong n more developed after the unification of west n east. I am also sure you have no knowledge about why Korea was divided too. This your writeup is senseless in all it entirety abeg.

Actually, he made a lot of sense...

The north takes the lead...

Imagine . this is the reason why guys like Adesina cant lead this country. How could he? When the voting population is largely illiterate and cant possibly understand his manifesto...

Olamsoh:
Just look at how daft people will come here now and say they should also use this same power to fix the country, why can’t you use the Jesus power you sing every Sunday to fix the country or use the allah power to fix the country every Friday, can your stupid white religion even fix your poverty apart from collecting your tithe and offering, just imagine how much Oyedepo and Adeboye made yesterday Sunday now. Smh

Please if you are a child and knows nothing,don’t doubt this cuz some of us have been in a party where it’s raining on the other side while across the street it’s not raining

Level is real AF

Abeg shut it...

Akorede02:
And you a senseless Nigerian.

Go and plug ur thing somewhere. Leave me alone.

I like this Woman's fashion sense.

Nonsense and Stupidery....

I bet u can channel that energy to eradicating poverty or forming an invisible nano barrier against fulani invaders...


U are lucky the Weather is not yet prepared for you.

Ever heard of Cloud Seeding?

Stupid African...

I blame all our past leaders and the current dumbo.

If Nigeria is good, why would an able-bodied Nigerian go to SA or miserable ghana

Benjaniblinks:
Is Houdini a free software?

Rhere is an indie version. But you cant render without watermarks. And there are limits to ur water sim resolutions with it.

reidkrugger:
Ok, it's about 1am and I just woke up from from what is supposed to be a suspended animation state. I have a job to deliver in 2days so I de used to purge my system with alcohol to serve as a knockout drug. Well, the usual dose and a little bit more nor gree work. I guess I'll have to try again bcuz I need to wake up dazed. Then tomorrow, or later in d day if you will, I'll start life afresh with a clear head and can face my job with an open untamed mind. Life is good, when things begin to make sense. Life is good when your projections begin to pay off.
And by the way, I'll be going 12 or 16gig latest next month. Lets see what dat experience feels like. I have something, i'ld like to show you.

Congrats.....

How many bottles

Yesterday had me so sozzled too. Never knew i couod come to shop today

cgniyi:
Still very much around. Just have a few boring jobs I need to complete, after which I'll start on a few personal projects. Though I learn something new occasionally, doing some of the jobs I do repeatedly can hinder development as they aren't too challenging.
Btw, your link is not working

Hi CGNIYi, long time.

I agree doing the same thing all ober again is super boring.

Here everyone is so conservative....they want the typical product advertisement, they want the 90s style of doing product commercials and all. Fine the money comes but innovation is dead.

For someone like me, who is very much inclined towards vfx, i ve neva seen any body interested in it. Its always the same boring jobs VR, Product pack revolves about an axis, water flow from bottle to cup...haba



Reid, CGniyi, since we have all come this far. can we all do a project together. Something that includes that which we really love....VFX?

Open Doors for embezzlement...

Chiwude:
My brother, the deed has been done. If and if led us to entrusting leadership on a marxist and young Ojukwu. The federal forces, had we acted tactically had no business defeating us in that war. All our father's needed do was allow the elders taken seat by guiding Ojukwu, failure to accept that would have pushed him to the back seat while someone else takes the realm. The federal forces would have been decimated with the elders agreeing a deal with the Soviets.
The same thing that panned out then, is still happening now with Nnamdi Kanu. When anybody questioning his pattern is castigated in similar way our father's cheered Ojukwu while chastising the elders.
We seem not to have learnt our lesson and rather following similar path with Kanu.

Thank you....

I ve always had my reservations on Nnamdi Kanu.

I really realy want Biafra but not with Nnamdi as Captain. That guy lacked the desired qualities of a leader....which is listening to ideas aside his own.

I wish i can go back in time and warn that Foolish Zik.

If i ever land in America, my first job would be a Mortician's attendant

Theres is a difference between Pretty and Beautiful.

Here is Beautiful...

Ada is a Beau.

My Hatred for Nigeria just topped to the highest point...

AntiBalaka:
See as your frustration is seeping through the web.


Must everybody key into your Ruga plantation?

I never supported RuGA

AntiBalaka:
I won't count on US support because the Saudi lobby groups in Washington will ensure that the new nation states do not get US recognition.


The Buhari govt out of the blue, expelled the Singaporean ambassador and shut down their embassy.

This was done during the peak of the Biafra Street processions and can be seen as Buhari signalling to the Chinese govt support for one United Nigeria.

So you think the lure of a military base wont make the US reconsider support for the new nation?

sweetsell:
One fool go sidon for erosion ravaged Igbo land de propound hopelessly foolish theory

And You a bigger fool, will deaperately stick to this s.hit.hole contraption

Man up for once!

It will be a real proxy war btwn China , Russia and US.

But if the New SE and SS automous country can, would grant access to a military base to Us. Then consider the Us supporting them.

At the same time, Russia does not have a military base in Africa, it might be a big opportunity for the new country to offer it to Russia.

Imagine a situation where Russia deploys 10k soldiers to their new bight of Biafra base, even the US will hesitate to fight any proxy war. Now imagine if it should happen in this era of Trump. Consider the New country a given.

I dont know why the talk of seceeding from Nigeria excites me.

pakingzzzzz:
Here is a screenshot of the video.. I am yet to upload the video though ...

Well, You have inspired me to start out on planar tracking again. I am a little free. So i intend to get a few shots with this man-lizard.
Animation will be brief. The intention is to horn out my camera solve skills and rotoscoping.

Credits: The Robot is obviously not mine. I dont model Hard-surfaces. It belongs to @NuriMoodu. thanks guy for that.


The lizard is mine. a previous human model with the head chopped off and a lizard-looking thingy modelled around it.
All Texturing was done in substance, shading cycles, rigging in Blender. This is the very first time in years i am rigging with Blender

Tracking was done in Nuke 10. there is also where the Rotoscoping would be done. I intend to use EEvee for rendering, wonderig how to do the shadow catching thingy since it does not support it.

would you believe my camera solve error was below 2. First in history of mankind for me!

Still on the liquid thing. I am seriously trying to perfect the act of Liquid sims.

I've learnt how to use what is termed the initial state - This is a phrase used to describe standing water prior to an object splashing into it.

so i scaled down and decide to try it out on a tumbler instead of the "MUD scene with Truck".

And after several iterations, i got to this level. At a particle resolution of 60 and 2.5hrs of simulation, this is what i got.

For Realflow the ideal particle resolution is 600 and above which is equal to Madness on a normal day with Nepa interruptions.

For Houdini, it is 0.001 and you get a very smooth liquid fluid mesh, this gives you 7hrs to just simulate and another 3 to Mesh out the particles.

Fluid simulation is really capital and CPU intensive. Bear in mind that if you are using prepaid meters, dont ever do sims with it. the power costs is extensive. Even with gen. No wonder peeps dont often do it here.

Have you guys noticed a budgeoning of CGI talents in Nigeria. On Instagram, a whole lot of Nigerians CGI nerds are not smiling. Mehnnn.

drips8:
You sound like an anarchist

He is...

There was an era when i used to be very dark.
I am still dark...at times.



I attemp to reflect on this year so far and the only thing i can think of....is the fact that NL led me to a business partner, we setup....setuped an outfit and I ve been less depressed more often.

OP dont spoil my morning please...

Nigeria cant never be like this in our lifetime

Koolking:
Yet some lost brain people call Nigeria a shithole while USA is peehole with sane people.

Just imagine, 22 people gunned down unprovoked. Last year, a man from his hotel room gunned down over 50 in a concert gathering for no reasons whatsoever.

Nigerians lack love for their country. Every country has her problems but patriotic citizens make her stand tall.

Abeg get a sit....
The diference btwn Nigger area and America is like yhe distance bywn the sun and pluto
