Can someone share some VFX?

Hello! I'm a beginner in Blender, and I'm trying to learn 2.5D animation, which involves using 2D sprite planes in 3D environments with VFX and other cool effects.

I'd like to know if anyone here would be willing to share some effects, because I've been looking for them online, but most VFX packs are paid and priced in dollars. I can't really afford them, so if anyone would be kind enough to share a pack, I'd really appreciate it!

(I've genuinely tried creating my own VFX, but everything is still very confusing, and the tutorials haven't been helping me much.)

The VFX I'm mainly looking for are impact hits.

Dropped my first music video - sharing on behalf of the VFX engineer on the team (Jemin Auxilium). Would love feedback on the multiple character angle.

Photocraft VFX fork

Even though Photoshop started as VFX software, Adobe never really kept up with the industry. Matte painters and compositors have been forced to rely on Log workarounds or deal with OS switching between Windows and Linux just to get things done.

Looking at my subscription bloat toward the end of the year, I decided to try out Photocraft, an open-source image editor. As a professional DMP, I don't actually need 100% of Photoshop's bloated feature set, and I was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly fast Photocraft is.

Since it's open-source, I decided to vibe-code with Claude just to add a basic multi-channel EXR export. I ended up getting hooked and went down a rabbit hole. The fork now includes a full DMP-to-comp pipeline:

✅ OpenColorIO 2.4 built in, the same colour engine Nuke uses (ACES 1.3 studio config)
✅ OCIO Colorspace layers for ACEScg, ACEScct, ARRI LogC, RED Log3G10, Sony S-Log3 and more
✅ True 32-bit scene-linear workflow, nothing clamped
✅ Blend modes that are real Nuke Merge operations
✅ Nuke Grade and ColorLookup-style Curves
✅ Multi-channel EXR export with a matching beauty pass
✅ One click to a ready-to-open Nuke script

This is still very much a work in progress, but I’d love for other artists to give this fork a spin. Let me know what you think, what tools a DMP actually needs next, or if you manage to break anything!

Junior AI switch?

After graduating in CGI and VFX in May, I have spent the last few months working on my portfolio, applying for jobs and getting a feel for the current job market. Honestly, I just don't see the time investment being worth the potential return at the moment.

Because of that, I have started learning AI from scratch, with the idea of creating customized cinematic scenes. For example, using basic environments in Unreal Engine as a starting point and building on top of them with AI.

More specifically, I am aiming to become a freelance AI artist working in marketing and advertising.

I am now planning to spend the next few months focusing on this. I have only been at it for a few days, but I can already see huge potential. Personally, I think this is something junior artists should seriously consider getting into sooner rather than later.

That is just my experience so far, though. I would really like to hear what other people think and what your experiences have been.

I am completely alone in this, so I think that speaking with other people is very necessary!

I’ve spent years creating VFX — finally decided to share my entire library!

Hey fellow editors!

I'm a filmmaker and video editor, and over the years I've created thousands of effects for my own projects — film burns, light leaks, VHS textures, glitches, transitions, overlays, and much more.

I recently decided to organize everything and make it available to other editors through my own website.

There are now over 2,000 video effects, all designed to be easy to use in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or pretty much any editing software.

There are also free effects available to download, so you can try them out and use them in your own projects!

You can grab individual effects or entire packs depending on what you need.

I’d love to hear what you think, especially from fellow editors. What kind of effects do you find yourself using the most?

Here's the project if you'd like to check it out:

https://forfilmcreation.com/

Thanks, and happy editing!

Still thinking about how Godzilla Minus One won an Oscar over The Creator.

Watching the new Godzilla this evening. So I rewatched the previous one yesterday. I love the movie and how great the storytelling is. So excited for this evening since I'm watching the new one on IMAX.

But I still can't get over the fact that Godzilla Minus One won an Oscar over The Creator. The Creator was just stunning. No flaws at all throughout the movie. Of course, the movie's biggest flaw is the fucking story, which sucked big time.


I know the whole shabang of Godzilla being made on a budget of three fiddy and what not, and believe me, I was, and I am happy that a smaller production won such a significant award. But so many shots in Godzilla are a bit shoddy, but they are just masked by the amazing storytelling.

It just feels like it was awarded a pat on the back for being the smaller fish. But is that what an academy award is for? I thought it was for the excellence in that category.


Anyway, as someone who loves visual effects and a huge IMAX nerd, I'm more than excited to watch the new one today! Just had to let go of this off my chest lol.

Fellow under-employed VFX artists: What are you doing for side income?

I've been out of work for over a month now and it's been two months since I last earned anything that resembles a senior wage. I have no idea when I'll be booked again and I want to slow the bleeding.

What are others doing for side income? I worked a normie job for a couple months in 2024 during a dry spell, but I'm hesitant to do that again since it wasn't really worth it considering I had to fully leave it as soon as I found a booking, and the inflexibility wasn't really worth the pay.

I'm thinking of trying Amazon Flex, so I can choose time while my kids are at school and not sacrifice time with them. What is everyone else doing?

Looking for a Compositing / VFX Artist for an Indie Game Trailer!

Hey everyone!

We're currently finishing a stylized 3D cinematic trailer for our indie adventure game, with a visual style somewhat similar to the series ARCANE, and we're looking for a compositing artist to help us with one of the shots!

The shot involves a weapon appearing through a magical materialization effect. We're working with a super talented friend of ours who's a 2D FX animator on ARCANE, and he's kindly helping us bring this little project to life!

We're now looking for someone who can help us blend his hand-drawn 2D FX into the 3D scene, potentially add some VFX, and make the whole effect feel cohesive and polished.

We're putting the finishing touches on this trailer to help us secure funding for the game. Unfortunately, our budget is pretty limited at this stage, but I'm happy to discuss rates and figure something out together based on the actual workload.

If you're interested, feel free to DM me with your portfolio!

Thanks so much! :)

Is Studying VFX in the USA or Canada Worth It in 2026? Is There Still a Future in This Industry?

I've been passionate about Visual Effects since I was 14, and it's something I've genuinely wanted to build my career around. I'm now considering studying VFX in the USA or Canada on a study visa, but I'm having second thoughts after hearing so much about the industry's current struggles, studio layoffs, and declining job opportunities.

My goal isn't just to turn my passion into a job. I want to build a sustainable career, earn a good living, and have a financially secure future.

I'm particularly interested in becoming a VFX Compositor and FX Artist, but I'm trying to understand whether investing in an expensive education in the US is still a smart decision.

I'd genuinely appreciate honest advice, especially from people working in the industry. I don't want to give up on something I've been passionate about for years, but I also want to make a smart decision about my future.
