It’s important to match rigging chain to hooks of the proper size. If you need to figure out what size hook you have, it will almost always be imprinted on the hook somewhere. But, if you're looking for the label in imperial notation (such as "1/2 inch") you might be out of luck — many manufacturers print the metric equivalent (such as "13mm") for size. The location and formatting of the size marking is different depending on the manufacturer. On this Crosby Shur-Loc hook, both metric and imperial are provided for convenience. However the hook is marked, make sure you index that information and match the hook size to your chain size. AND, the hook grade to your grade of chain (for example, a Grade 100 hook for Grade 100 chain). For your convenience, here is a quick list showing metric to imperial equivalents: 6mm = 7/32" 7mm = 9/32" 8mm = 5/16" 10mm = 3/8" 13mm = 1/2" 16mm = 5/8" 18 or 20mm = 3/4" 22mm = 7/8” 26mm = 1” 32mm = 1-1/4” What is the most common size of chain and hook that you use? #LiftingEquipment #Cranes #Hooks #TrusttheLift

🔥 How do you craft dynamic action sequences in shonen manga?🥋✨ Taking a page from Anime Village’s ADAMANTO: Unbreakable, here are five key techniques artist Oscar Jimenez uses to infuse movement and energy into every panel: 1. Dynamic Posing: Oscar masterfully employs exaggerated poses to convey the intensity of each character’s actions. 2. Speed Lines: The use of speed lines creates a sense of motion, making every punch, kick, and leap feel impactful. 3. Impact Frames: By incorporating impact frames, Oscar emphasizes the force behind each blow, enhancing the sense of power and adrenaline in the scene. 4. Foreshortening: Skillful foreshortening techniques add depth and dimension to the action, immersing readers in the heart of the battle and intensifying the excitement. 5. Background Details: Attention to detail in the background, such as debris flying or surroundings blurring, enhances the realism and overall impact of the scene. 🎨 Kudos to Oscar for his incredible talent in bringing ADAMANTO: Unbreakable to life with such electrifying action sequences! Better still, we’re using his manga pages to storyboard our upcoming mobile game, ADAMANTO: Unleashed and JRPG, ADAMANTO: Bodo. Lots more updates on the way! #manga #anime #illustration #mobilegames #JRPGS

Monsters, Inc. Receiving Station, where laugh energy is drained from the canisters, processed, and distributed to Monstropolis. I really enjoyed figuring out the mechanics and animation for the canisters, conveyor belt, and control panel. No leaky leaks here! #monstersatwork #disneytva #disneytelevisionanimation #disney #pixar #monstersinc #monstersuniversity #conceptart #backgrounddesign #bgdesign #visualdevelopment #animation

Revisting an old facial rig that I built in Motionbuilder for my Daz characters, ripping off some of the geo from the UE faceboard for metahumans. Going to use if for a little demo we are working on, taking advantage of the last months of my Performer license.. sigh Need to learn how to build these in Maya

Maya Attribute Options tool.! Newest addition to my personal tool set. Took me a few days to write it on and off. This tool helps me to re-order attributes without having to re-do the incoming/outgoing connections. Some options are still a work in progress... #reorder #attributes #mel #maya #tools #rigging

#colorscience Daniel ColorQ One area of development in OCIO in Unreal 5.4. Rendering : New: Added new VP utility post-process volume class, which sets all required settings for pass-through by default. Added a convenience engine material function for color transformations from the sRGB/Rec709 color space to the working color space. Exposed CPU OpenColorIO transformation to color types, and not only images. Allowed OpenColorIO library use in non-editor modes. Updated the OpenColorIO to 2.3.1. Exposed OpenColorIO context on the configuration asset.

Wip on my 1975 Ford Bronco model in an environment that I've been working on in Unreal 5. It's been quite the learning experience so far. Still working on adding more foliage and other props on the ground. #art #digitalart #3d #3dmodeling #3dmodel #unrealengine5 #unrealengine #cg #cgi #carmodel #ford #gameenvironment #environmentart #3dart

Here’s a pack shot render of my completed Bandai CG asset. Textured in Substance Painter. The game's demo sequence was created by constructing the sprites as vectors, then sequencing an animation precisely like the original. #VFX #VisualEffects #3D #CGI #B3D #Compositing #SubstancePainter #Blender

I finally made a tutorial about improving #MetaHuman face texture with some technics including mesh wrapping and generating variants with Stable Diffusion. I hope this video is helpful to you! #unrealengine #wrap #blender #stablediffusion #tutorial

Hey all! I've written a quick Tips & Tricks guide on how you can normalize and unnormalize depth data. I find this is handy when working with nukes ScanlineRender Node, and creating tools based on scene depth I hope it helps! https://lnkd.in/gakvYW5H #nuke #compositing #vfx #depth

Testing out the new font and asset store integration for #Substance3DPainter 10 release. I recorded a little of my process in this video when texturing the speaker with materials from the #Substance3DAssets store.  I used a displacement workflow in Painter and nanite tesselated displacement in #UnrealEngine. This made the rope and the speaker mesh holes simple with no object modelling needed. Shot realtime with Lumen in #UE5 using sequencer on an RTX 4090 using the new #MotionDesign mode in 5.4 More: https://lnkd.in/eKxDN5wv #MadeWithSubstance #MadeWithUnreal

Achieving perfect green screen compositing is a nonstop pursuit. During a recent post-mortem, Joshua Baize (one of our staff editors) mentioned he had an idea for improving our green screen compositing. More specifically, for preserving the beauty and detail in every strand of hair, especially those challenging white, blonde, and red hues. We know that curls, waves, and textured hair add complexity to green screen compositing, and we're determined to master it. After conducting 34 unique tests with a variety of hair colors, textures, and lighting techniques, we discovered new and improved ways to get better results, faster. Having a wholly integrated team allows our production and post production teams to collaborate, share ideas, and find ways to improve. In a world where every detail counts, these small nuances make our clients’ content stand out. #VideoProduction #GreenScreen #Compositing #ProcessImprovement #TeamWork

I've found online knowledge of how to simply convert a movie file and play it as a fullscreen Bink in Unreal Engine to be a bit lacking, so I made a tutorial explaining this process. I hope this helps and please let me know if I missed anything #unreal #tutorial #bink #film #video https://lnkd.in/eENxqzUC
