Hi I'm ibrahim wisdom from Nigeria, right now I fund is video help but in addition here Nigeria we're using Adobe premiere pro mostly and for modeling blender and Maya..

[@Sportsman134]

why is flame 8:00 not available for Windows?

[@johanneshorzer7011]

the good thing is that the real high end products like nuke fusion and flame are all relatively similar in structure. Many Nodes have the same name and most function the same. Best is to learn one of these three really good. then switching isn't the worst thing in the world. I chose fusion because its free if you have a da Vinci resolve studio license and it has better performance on consumer workstations.

[@riubotin]

I Use Blender for modeling, ZBrush for Sculpting, Maya for Rigging & Animate, Nuke for Composite, Houdini for VFX. Render Use Renderman. Sometime I use Unreal Engine too for some project.

[@federicasartori1683]

@Riubotin how much have you spent for maya?

[@riubotin]

@@federicasartori1683 I'm beginner, about 3 month I use Maya for animate & rig. Maya, blender, cinema4D, 3dsmax, solidworks, fusion360, rhino, sketchup, all 3d software is same. I mean, if we know just 1 like blender, very easy to mastering other 3d software. Only Houdini is different from all. All software require base knowledge in C/C++ & Python.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Blender is sick to use because its one of those programs Mike?, Many use but can have their workflow go from Blender into others or into Blender, once one task is accomplished in other program and passed to blender for whatever needs it requires. Blender and Maya for example gel well together, as does Nuke and Blender etc's. One tool can handle one function while another is use for something else entirely (modeling/sculpting, compositing, colour correction, editing) etc's.

[@assassinyt7769]

I was planning to take a vfx course....the software which they use in this course is nuke.....should i take it....? Will i have a better career...? Pls respond

[@JahidulIslam]

Nuke is an industry standard when comes to compositing. Most of the big studio uses nuke. Nuke is node based, so you can also transfer some of the workflow to other node based tools like Fusion.

Glad InspirationTuts came through, alot of people are learning off of him and making plans to set up their own studios at home i reckon! thumbs up you more than deserve it! These videos are just as good as "Porn", cos we know we're getting something great out of them and learning new tricks right! (Lmao) Sorry but i have a devilish sense of humor sometimes man! Stay safe dude, and cheers man.

[@kpbendeguz]

If you ever want a real job in the VFX or 3D animation industry you learn Nuke. End of the story. Learning anything else is just a waste of your time, since even if you master your compositing software of choice, no studios will hire you or you'll end up using Nuke anyway. If you want motion graphics job you learn After Effects. Same as Nuke in VFX: you can do motion graphics with many other software sometimes even more capable than AE, but studios that have already invested into AE will not replace their tools just for your needs. And they invest in AE since most motion graphics artist learn AE... closed circle. If you just wanna play around with hobby projects, it's Blender if full 3D or Natron if 2D footage involved. Natron has a Nuke-like user interface so if you look for a free alternative to learn the basics of compositing then it could be a good start since it is easy to switch to Nuke if you take things seriously later. (And Nuke is ridiculously expensive while it's learning edition is too limited.)

[@AbsurdScandal]

I get that Natron is fo 2D and 2.5D compisiting, but is it really just the basics of compositing, or does it also have some moderately advanced and useful capabilities as a 2D compositor?

[@Whooptyloo]

You are superb

FUSION

[@darkvador6432]

Hey, A few thoughts as a Fusion and Mocha Pro user (and Resolve btw) for matte painting, 3d set extensions, camera projections etc... 1/ By far the 1st feeling : can't believe I still can read AE in any of these kind of serious lists... AE is mainstream garbage maintained by Adobe to entertain their customers. Anybody knows it doesn't play in the same league as Maya, Fusion or Nuke, and btw anybody knows that ANY layer based software can't compete with node-based ones... The main and only asset of AE is there is a huge community... because beginners first start downloading AE as the did for PS, but only the second one is serious in the end ;) 2/ Advice for beginners : if you really want to start/study/evolve, forget about AE and dl DaVinci Resolve which includes a Fusion tab. Buy studio versions only if you'd like to, no subscription, work and learn without limiting constraints (up to UHD)... And please, forget about AE even if the little bro of your neighbour stated he's starting a new blockbuster on it... or stay stuck on it for life, with opening and opening and opening again a composition in a composition in another one in a "I don't remember what down floor" my layer is hahahahaha ;) 3/ Personal opinions, no regular rule : a/ where's Maya ? b/ Fusion could deserve better in many cases

[@PeterKoperdan]

Hi Dark, what about 2D motion graphics/design? You know like titles, shapes, lines, curves, graphs etc.. Wouldn't you say that AE is best for that kind of use, especially for designers coming from Illustrator? Cheers.

[@charlesxchaves]

@@PeterKoperdan resolve fusion has those

[@PeterKoperdan]

@@charlesxchaves It does, but what about ease of use and integration with Illustrator? AE has potentially huge benefits there. That's why I'm trying to get opinions from knowledgeable people who used both apps extensively. I'm not interested in fanboy opinions which tend to dominate these discussions.

[@FrankHeffleyOnYT]

You’re the only person I’ve seen that is against After Effects, and I agree with you.

[@darkvador6432]

@@PeterKoperdan Well I can undestand what you mean. Honnestly you can do that in Nuke or Fusion as well (I use Apple Morion for this). But you're right, layer based as PS or AI users will fel immediately comfortable... and won't ever progress and upgrade their skills sadly

[@mr.nobody1619]

Then what is the use of mocha pro can anyone explain plz

[@elskywalker135]

Mainly for Rotoscoping and tracking

[@mikeben9587]

mocha pro is a planar tracker. It cames as standalone or plugin for ae or even as osx for fusion or Nuke. Its very intuitive in use and faster and accurater than the build in tracker in ae for example. But its only usable for planar tracking as the name say. 3d tracking is not possible with that. So if you want to place a video on a tv or a image on a wall, then mocha is your tool. If you want to track a scene with a camera wich is moving around in a scene and then want to place a robot or what ever, then you need a 3d tracker.

ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS

[@theuday99]

after effects for me ,but ive heard nuke is better

[@jascrandom9855]

AE is layer-based, which limits it capabilities, but is easier to use. While Nuke is node-based, which makes it more powerful, but harder to learn.

[@JJ_Lawson_VFX]

After Effects can definitely be used to create high-quality composites without a doubt, but it certainly limits the ease-of-use of certain things that node based compositors such as Nuke have. To achieve the best results in After Effects, fully understanding precompositions is a must. In AE there is actually a project flowchart that helps illustrate how your comps stack together, somewhat like a node graph of sorts, for a better visual if it's hard to comprehend. Complex dynamic compositing is definitely achievable without any third-party plugins for the software. It just takes more time and understanding of how it all works. If only Nuke were a truly affordable alternative to Adobe... someday, maybe.... :)
