We're looking for fx artists of all levels for various projects. Send me a message, or mail hello@theodstudios.com for more information.

Since 19 is pretty much done, I'll close this and you can all take your dearest wishes and desires to the H20 wishlist!

Animation and rigging toolset to rival Maya so I can dump Autodesk for good!

It's been a long and illustrious carreer. I think this website has been going for ~23 years now. Time flies when you're having fun

Alex! I'm still here.

Hey all We're looking to add some senior Houdini artists to our core team! Come join us, we're a small studio, so that means plenty of creative and technical freedom. Lot's of fun projects too! od for life! M

I completely forgot to mention that we're looking for someone already in Vancouver for this one.

Hey! Od Studios is hiring again! We're looking for experienced Houdini artists to help out in fx and lighting starting in January (or immediately for the right artist). Some requirements: Houdini experience, naturally. We're working remotely and from in the office, depending on the day. Both options are open to you! Exciting things: Lots of crowd work Deepfakes face replacements Solaris! Redshift Let's go! Mail us: info@theodstudios.com Thanks! M

Things move quickly: https://news.itsfoss.com/rocky-linux-announcement/ I loll'ed at this:

Yeah I scoured the net some more after that post. I'm with symek, this is just bad news all round. Anyone who moves to Oracle will likely regret that decision and/or get what they deserve depending on how naive they are going in . I guess the real question is what will Autodesk do, the reason why most vfx studios are on Cent/RHEL is because that's pretty much the only distro AD supports. https://centos.rip/

If? Aren't most people using CentOS in a production environment? Even if it's just a webserver, having Cent behave like Fedora doesn't sound like a good thing. Actually, this is on Redhat's page: I wonder what's going to happen to Fedora then? ugh.

Intermittent fasting for me. No crashing energy levels.

Hey! Od Studios is hiring a senior lighter and a senior effects artist for a 2 month contract. Must be a Vancouver resident for this one though. Some requirements: Houdini experience, naturally. 5+ years experience preferred, but not necessarily required. We're working remotely, so you must have a machine at home that can access the internet! Mail us: info@theodstudios.com Thanks! M

For this kind of request it's best to report the post in question and one of the mods will take care of it. The report post is on the top right of the post itself. Thanks M

Yeah it's definitely a bit esoteric and not simpler, I've always wondered why they don't expose the ambient temperature parm. Leaving the expression in there and messing with the ambient temperature does some pretty weird things so deleting the expression seems like the way to go for this project. Thanks! M
