[@apmanti12]

You mad man, "modern problems require modern solutions" echoed in my head whilst watching this, good job as usual!

[@davorkronja4594]

Always enjoying tips from production... real life problems, sounds so familiar... priceless... thanks

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for the kind words.

[@workflowinmind]

Thanks Hugo, can't wait for the pipeline video!

[@neilcolaco]

Just started watching your videos recently and already solved so many problems I was facing with my scene, but the main take away from your videos was really that You do really just have to be better ! Thanks for the content :)

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks so much for your kind words. Means a lot to me. I am glad I could help.

[@ssshakilsn]

Hugo you are amazing.

[@HugosDesk]

Stop it, I am glad you liked the video. But many thanks.

Nice vid, greetings from Lima-Peru

[@vedatkaplan]

Thank you, Hugo. it's a cool way.

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks for watching

[@jscotttcm]

Thank you for your inspiring talk at the 2018 London VFX Festival

[@HugosDesk]

Not a problem, thanks so much for coming.

BenQ makes great monitors. Guess one of the best in compare price-quality.

[@HugosDesk]

Yes you are right. They have a great balance between the features and price. I think Eizo’s prices are a bit crazy.

[@MicDoesThings]

Great technique mate! We forget how much can be done in 2D with a bit of brain activity!

[@HugosDesk]

You are absolutely right. People forget all the quick and dirty tricks from Comp sometimes. It’s not “physical correct” but who cares? If it let Ola good it’s good. Thanks for watching.

[@bkdsn]

The result looks great! Given the time constraint you mentioned that was a very clever approach. If you had a UV pass do you think you would have been able to achieve the same effect without loading in the Alembic files?

[@HugosDesk]

You are probably right. Need to try that. I always use the Geo because of placing 2D elements so I am pretty used to having the geo.

[@aaronsbot]

Great tips man!

Hugo: "First you do is to open Nuke." Me: "Hell yeah, I can do that like a pro." Hugo: "I will open Nuke in a specific way..." Me: *surprised Pikachu face

[@nicolashe1]

[@HugosDesk]

Thank you for watching.

[@Kryptonian0024]

You are awesome 🙌..any tips for rotoscoping thanks....

[@HugosDesk]

Thanks, sure I put it on the list.

[@damascenoalisson]

Great Hugo! Just out of curiosity, what hardware are you using? I've heard that i7's and i9's are now faster (more responsive on viewport, not rendering) than Xeons, because of faster single-thread performance, is that true?

[@HugosDesk]

I actually have both. Got a Mac Pro 2013 with a 12 core Xeon, I have a Mac Pro 2011 with a dual 6 core Xeon, have 2 Mac Mini Servers with 4 core i7s. I always used Xeons on my career so I can’t tell you about the i7s. Sorry. Most companies use Xeon workstations.

[@damascenoalisson]

Thank you very much! Judging by your hardware and the performance you get in your videos will surely help me to choose a CPU :-)

[@HugosDesk]

Yes, normally most VFX companies and workstations use Xeons because of the long life durability and also because of large L Caches. And, of course, the advantage of being able to have dual CPUs. It is expensive but Xeon is server class CPUs so I would always recommend.

[@ramonlopeznote]

Hugo, I asked you in some other of your videos. You say you don´t like Maya, why is that? I am very interested Keep up the hard work in this channel, thanks
