What is VFXHack?

Here’s the deal…

All the other vfx sites (vfx pro, cg channel etc.) lack that certain something. Visually they are jumbled, they tend to shill shamelessly for the big studios and the galleries are filled with same old ogres and big tittied chicks with metal bikinis that we’ve all seen 1,000 times. And honestly, after over a decade kicking around this crazy industry I’m sick of it. What I want to do in an in the trenches, real-life, counter-culture VFX blog. Stuff that’s cool that you might not know about cuz it’s not from the majors. Along with “real” tips from the folks on the ground like you and me. There is also a huge sense of VFX history that is missing from the vfx community at this point. Kids are more concerned about how fast they can re-config there maya hot-keys than how all this stuff got started in the first place. So many kids I work with are like “Slit Scan?”, “Motion Control?” . The point is not to be preachy but just to put all the cool/funny/annoying stuff out there and you the reader let everyone know what you think about it.

Happy Reading,
