Thank you very much, erwin.

Looks great, and I would have clicked on the heart if I still had an Instagram account. Thanks for sharing! … and especially for the credits! 🙂

I'm glad you got that far. I work with an M1 Max, and those devices require a different approach (if the scene pulls heavy on them), setting the camera move, especially when caching isn't an option.

Introducing a single sphere with a similar dynamic (falling) to the Liquids could be helpful. Setting up a manual animated Proxy is perhaps a lot of work, but coming from the digital stone age ('90s), I'm used to it.

For one short film, I replaced the character with just a cube and a sphere where the "nose" was. It worked well on the big silver screens across the country.

If you have another topic (Q&A), please feel free to open a new thread. I'm happy to look into it.

Cheers

Hi erwin,

Thank you so much for sharing your great results and giving even credit.

Your result looks great; I'm glad you pushed it that far.

Yes, I'm no longer on Instagram. Sorry. My images are not for AI training, and to show up as fragments later in work I might not support.

Enjoy!

Thank you for your reply, Erwin,

There are no mistakes, only gained experience.

I believe everyone (at least in my experience doing set design or stage design work [Film-Architektur, as we called it back in Berlin]) has made this flip, hence the use of the term "Stage Left" which is on the right from the audience's point of view. Which is pretty much what happens here. It's a classic situation.

Enjoy your project, Happy Holidays, and as well a good New Year!

Hi erwin,

Just WOW!

I have explored Anime and Manga for a while now (a massive pile of movies and books are the result of it, just to validate my WOW!)

Based on what I have researched of Japanese Studios in the past years alone, your work is surely on that level.

Thank you so much for sharing your work here. I saw that you even gave me credit—this very nice of you.

I hope you continue to explore and find more of those great results.

Vielen Dank! Thank you very much!

My best wishes

P.S.: As you said on your site, you are looking for your style. Your explorations look great, and yes, what to pick and where to dive deeper into it… It will come!

Thanks for the reply, Erwin.

The culture of Maxon-One is simple: Everyone can be the person they like to be, and choosing a name is part of that. We just had a meeting in Europe, with around 250 people joining. It was a fantastic and energizing event.

My doctoral work is about computer simulation, specifically filmic aspects of architectural animation and how they may or may not manipulate the virtual experience of the object in question. While living in Germany, I wrote it while the doctor (in my case, Doctor of Scientific Engineering) is part of the name and even entered the Passport. My other degrees are not seen on that level. (drsassi.com)

Since I live on the West Coast of the USA, I have heard different ways that are seen here. But also, to get my new Passport here, I used the artist name I have since "ever" and placed it as my official first name.

So, I am known under Dr. Sassi, and even most colleagues here use it. We respect each other, and everyone can create their own "space" for themselves. I love that freedom and the respect we have for each other.

I enjoy having that same vibe here in the Forum, and I like to support everyone in any aspect that makes them happy and seen. I surely want to support anyone reaching their full artistic potential, even if it is mostly helping with the tools.
I might sometimes miss a point, but that has a little bit to do with the fact that we are not in the same room. But I try to keep up 🙂

So, long story short, THANK YOU so much for asking.

Have a lovely weekend.
