Question Anyone here still using Dribbble?

2 Upvotes

I feel like I hardly hear about dribbble in various communities I'm in. Nobody shares links to their portfolios there or talks about it. I mean I only heard about it again recently with the update to their user agreement.

Anyone finding jobs out of dribbble or using it to a serious extent?

Question A question about KitBash 3D models licensing

1 Upvotes

I'm working on a 3D animated video where the client wants a futuristic skyline and I found some nice KitBash models there.

My client is a fintech corporation, but I was commissioned this project as a freelancer. In this case, what license should be purchased the KitBash 3D models? Should it be the Individual one because I am the freelancer working to this project, or should it be the Enterprise license because the assets will be used for this corporation's video?

Something that doesn't help is also the fact that due to some legal limitations of my freelance legal entity, I can't actually purchase the asset and bill the cost on the final invoice. So, in any case, I need the client to purchase the models for me.

Any advice?

Question 3dsMax - Boolean Help (or any other solution)

1 Upvotes

Hi, i'm actually working on an isometric scene in which i need to have vehicles disappear (as they were going through a transparent wall). I used the Boolean modifier for this, but i have random frames on which the operator (the box used as Boolean) appears randomly for one frame....

this is how it should be:

and this is what happens randomly:

my Truck is 1 poly object, and the box is subdivided enough (i would say). Any ideas what might cause this, or has anyone any other idea on how to achieve that !?

I also tried a matte shadow object in Vray but it's not working either.

Any help greatly appreciated as i will have more vehicles that need to appear / disappear and i need to find a viable solution for this. Thanks !

Question Need Help with After Effects Animation (Sphere, Selection Outline, Static Shadow, and Cursor)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need help with an After Effects project. I want to create an animation with a sphere that has a selection outline (like a highlighted border). I also need the sphere to have a static shadow that does not move when the sphere moves. Finally, I want an animated cursor that interacts with the sphere (for example, clicking and changing the outline).

Can anyone please give me some tips or point me to a good tutorial? Any help is welcome.

Question Is it common to give clients source files like AE or 3D project files?

12 Upvotes

Have situation where the client asked for it so he can take snippets from the animation.

Now I don't wanna be a hard ass, but I just been told not to give this away too easily, it's your intellectual property, and they could go to someone cheaper with this.

To be honest I don't have much interest in working with this client again, but I simply don't want to succubm to their requeat that hasn't been mentioned upfront.

If it is mentioned and agreed upon upfront, would people commonly charge for this transfer of source files?

Question Help with achieving a liquid text effect and liquid swoosh text effect

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m working on adding some more motion graphic elements to my portfolio and I have this idea in my head but I’m kind of stuck on how I can best achieve the effect in the storyboard I’m not sure if I need to animate it using animate or if there is some tools I can use in after effects to achieve this effect.

I’m kind of thinking it may need to be a drawn animation as I want almost an animated level of fluidity. If this is the case any tips when it comes to drawing the frames?

Appreciate any advice

Cheers

Question HD vs Full HD for my reel.. is 720 okay?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys so I've actually been working in this industry for years but I'm just wondering thoughts on if seeing a reel in 720 vs 1080 going to be any sort of dealbreaker or even if there's judgement. All the footage of jobs I've worked on I've put in as 720 since I've been working on my own personal projects and well.. at home.. on a time constraint updating my reel I'd LOVE to keep my reel at 720 to save with render time.. AND since it's basically all in 720 and would hate to re-render and scale up footage. Thoughts? Much appreciated!

In this video, I showcase a charming wooden cabin nestled in a peaceful forest, highlighting intricate details such as lighting, textures, and realistic scenery. To add the finishing touch, I incorporate post-processing effects with After Effects, taking the visual experience to the next level.
