Change your lens on communication.
Hilarious image aside, I believe that
an adequate artist with good communication
skills is far more valuable than a
brilliant artist without any. One of the
reasons I started this newsletter was to
help improve my own communication skills,
and I want to elaborate on why you should
aim to do the same...

Four tips to improve Neat Video's
denoise results.
Neat Video is the mysterious, magical wizard
of the Compositing world. I have no idea
which algorithms it uses to produce the
results it does, but they're nothing short
of amazing right out of the box.
But, what if I told you these amazing
results could be even... amazinger?

Get a 2D track from any 3D Point Cloud
or Geometry.
Serial gizmo creator Pranjal
Choudhary is at it again, with yet
another handy
tool: PointCloudTrack!
After connecting a Plate, Camera &
Point Cloud (or 3D geometry) to the
gizmo, you can sample an area of your plate
& hit go, then PointCloudTrack
will output a 2D point in a Tracker node
that's locked to the area you selected! It's
a far more streamlined way to accomplish
this task vs. a manual Reconcile3D
setup.

here to see a quick video of the
tool in action.

Siggraph 2018 Papers: First Pages.
If you're like me and couldn't make it to
Siggraph this year, you might have missed
some of the fascinating new things people
have come up with. I recently stumbled upon
a PDF document that contains the first page
only of every single white paper from this
year's conference! At 128 pages long, it's
not a relaxing bedtime read, although
definitely worth scrolling through when
you're waiting on renders...
If the thought of technical white papers is
scary, here's
a video showcasing a handful of the
groundbreaking algorithms and creations
people have come up with!
