Progress 110%

Спасибо!!! Вы потрясающие! Всего за месяц мы собрали нужную сумму в 500000++ на хоккейную коробку для детского дома Аистенок. Из которых 125000+ было от вас, читателей EasyElectronics!!! Были даже переводы на 10000+ 25000+ и просто поток платежей на 251, 1004, 502 рубля. Это невероятно круто! Сейчас идет заключение договора и подготовка к строительству!

А я встрял на три года, как минимум, ежемесячной пахоты над статьями :)))))))))))) Спасибо вам за такой мощный пинок!!!

My first fretboard

My first guitar build will have a bubinga fretboard with maple binding on a Birdseye maple neck. The inlays are crushed malachite + bronze powder held together by CA glue. I can spot several mistakes but overall I think it’ll work

А дайте бабла! :)

Взялся я тут за один общественный благотворительный проект. Восстанавливаем хоккейную коробку при детском доме Аистенок (г. Челябинск. Нагорная д. 18). Задача: к июлю сдать ее уже как готовый объект.

Найдены сертифицированные подрядчики, которые могут изготовить все по ГОСТам, а без этого даже гвоздь сейчас не забить — заставят выдернуть. Проект уже готов, соглассовано все с администрацией Аистенка. Остается только организация и сбор средств. На все про все надо около полумиллиона, порядка 15% уже есть, но сроки поджимают. Поэтому подключаю краудфандинг :)

Если вам были полезны мои сайты, мои статьи, то что я делаю и сделал, то просьба не пожадничать и закинуть...

dERIVATIVE – The Making of the Film

https://player.vimeo.com/video/458135379

Made of shapes, colours and a bit of story, dERIVATIVE is a short film I’ve directed for a wonderful Mixpoint Studio in Prague. It follows through a row of visual transformations and is likely to be more a work of motion design than classical CG animation. The project was a months-long effort and this time I had a chance to personally craft every single pixel of the final film – what has really helped me is a compositing-centered workflow which I’d like to talk about in this tutorial. 

It’s not uncommon among the film and animation 3D artists to overlook...
