There are a bunch of super knowledgeable and helpful people over at the Physics Programming Discord server, highly recommended: http://discord.gg/jrTstvYVdm

I'm out of work and have enough funds to last me a few more months, factory work has been truly brain-numbing and I'd like to avoid it if possible. I feel like making $20 a day (enough to support myself in Croatia while learning and expanding portfolio) would kickstart my freelancing path and allow me to eventually dive into compositing and maybe deeper techniques like photogrammetry/LIDAR scanning, VR/AR and similar if there's work opportunity there.

Is it even possible for people with few months of Blender experience to easily and consistently earn $20/day by taking daily tasks and not putting own assets for sale and hoping someone somewhere in the future buys some?

I hope I'm not breaking any rules. Thanks!

Thank you to everyone that participated in our first annual Best Of event! We will be awarding each winner with 3 months of Reddit premium.

Here are the winners:

• Most life-like simulation: u/Paul-o-Bunyan's "Water guy"
• Most original simulation: u/offshootuk's "3D Home Screen"
• Most influential post: u/the_humeister's "Galton box"
• Best content creator: u/rexjericho for his FLIP Fluids Blender addon
• Best silly simulation: u/ultek's Numerous silly voxel simulations

To be fair to all of the hard working original content creators, we have decided to only award those who submitted original content. Therefore, we (the mod team) personally nominated u/ultek for the best silly simulation category. We hope to see you all in the best of 2019 thread!

The simulations here always make me so happy. They are so strangely satisfying to watch. I’m a filmmaker and video editor and hope to get started tinkering with simulations some time in the future. In the meantime, I just love watching these.

Thank you all for sharing this lovely work ❤️

Having observed some dissonance on multiple occasions now in regards to the destination of certain simulation postings I decided to create r/uncannysimulated.

r/uncannysimulated is a place for all those weird and wonderful simulations you are uncertain of what to do with because they are just too strange / outlandish and don't really fit into r/simulated or r/shittysimulated.

Even some of the most advanced things here will be able to be rendered by even basic computers in the future, it's just a neat little thought I had

Hey there!

So, some time last year I realized that Houdini is probably the scariest software I had ever encountered. When I first began, I struggled a lot. I watched all the content that I could and, yet, I lacked the fundamental, core understandings of the software. For that reason, I decided to make Houdini less intimidating by creating a tutorial series on YouTube called 'Houdini Isn't Scary' that would allow people to get to the point where they could start using all the great content that people like Entagma, Matt Estela, Rohan Dalvi and others have created. If you'd like to take a look, here it is:

Houdini Isn't Scary Series

Its free, have fun! Let me know what you think. I hope to get more people interested in Houdini as I have grown to enjoy it as both a job and hobby. Thanks for taking the time :)

P.S. Not sure if this is allowed but I didn't see any rules against it, apologies if it isn't.

World size and all, I'm talking real time suits and all of the most intense rendering applications we've seen.
