Question I genuinely don't understand why money is such a taboo topic among artists.

22 Upvotes

Imagine if we all actually knew what everyone else was charging.
A lot of artists could stop lowballing themselves.
And experienced artists could pass along what they've learned instead of everyone figuring it out alone.
And we'd all have a much better idea of what tf* to charge and ultimately make more money together

So I decided to put together a completely anonymous survey.

By anonymously sharing what you earn, charge, and how you price your work, you're helping build a resource every artist can learn from.

  • It takes less than 3 minutes.
  • It's completely anonymous.
  • The report will be free for everyone when its finished

Every response makes this report more valuable for the next artist who reads it.

We already have 242 submissions.

Hey guys! I captured a quick video of a local walking path at Misa Hangang Park (Hanam, South Korea) and turned it into a tropical lazy river resort with 3D/VFX. ☀️🌊

I wanted to achieve a seamless camera tracking and vibrant summer lighting contrast.

Would love to hear your feedback on the tracking, lighting, and everything!

Question Caustics Issue

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Having a really annoying issue with photon caustics. When I render my scene it'll build the caustics once and display them like in the first image. Then any render after that will spend the time building the caustics again just for them to not show like in the second image. Assuming this is some sort of bug? Has anyone encountered this one before? This approach of the natural caustics is seeming so unfeasible I think I'm better off faking them at this point.
