For the animators: do you guys ever use Animation Layers? I prefer editing my animation in a non-destructive way. Do you guys take a more "traditional" approach for projects like Caminandes, Gooseberry or the Agent project?
Hi,
First, as everyone, I wanted to congratulate and thank you all for the work and the involvement you give us. I'm such a fan :-) I took a look at the VR version of Caminandes. It's really great ! As I recently said to Francesco, I'm amazed by the work done to transform the movie into a VR experience (All the Hjalti's re-animation work, etc.). Very promising I tried to transform one my previous works into a VR video. It worked ! but I didn't managed to make work the Ambisonic spatial audio.
My questions :
- Do you plan to make a tutorial about it ? Preparing, rendering, audio spacialising and publishing a VR video on YouTube (or any other support) ?
- Even better ! Do you plan to make Blender able to directly export MP4 with the correct metadata ?
- I'm curious about how you managed to get in touch with Google VR team about a VR project ? Did they contact you directly ?
Thanks again for everything.
Bye !

Thank you guys for listening so heavily to your audience, the explanation behind the thought process on the mouth rig for min, is great, i actually feel i need to watch it at least 2 more times to really understand what's happening. ;) And thanks for all the hard work you guys keep on doing in every other side, textures, characters, animation, rendering, man, you guys really really rock.!
haha, whenever someone talks about sicily i imagine sicily from the godfather, so i had never imagined there were universities and stuff, in my mind is just fields of winegrapes =)
I agree with hjalti, I might work for people who don't care about animation and just want to pose their character...
Sybren: about subscription i have sort of a duplicated account luciano@estudiopintamonos.cl and electronicpulse@gmail.com should just be the same account, can it be?.
Finally I got a question, do you guys get mad at eachother?, fight or anything? what kind of human troubles do you get at the studio when under the pressure of production do things get heated up?
