We have been desperately looking for a basic photoshop replacement at work, but our machines are locked out of the internet due to security reasons. Is it possible to download and “install” this so you can open it through a browser offline?

Edit: ....should probably have mentioned that the problem is that we are on Linux, and that’s why we can’t get Photoshop of Affinity Photo, and GIMP really didn’t cut it for us

CGI artist here, it is, or should VERY MUCH be the former. 90% of the time you see a CGI background that doesn’t sit right with the foreground, it’s because the foreground was lit differently than how the director wants the background lit. This is why we’re pushing for things like video walls like those used in Oblivion and light boxes like in Gravity, so we can get the illumination from the CGI into the stage.

It’s also why CGI is increasingly involved with pre production and production (or at least why were trying to get it to be). Most bad VFX these days is down to poor planning, testing and visualization when shooting.

”Game theory“ or ”game design theory"? It'd be a shame to create a game design/writing course and have students show up expecting to study mathematical models for behavior and strategy

As a rule of thumb, bad VFX from large, established studios almost always comes down to last minute changes and poor planning from the clients. Often the studios are actually originally given the time and budget they’d need to create world class effects, and are on the track to do so. But when the clients inevitably change their mind half way through the process, the studios suddenly have exactly half the time and budget that they really needed to make things look good. Can’t get into specifics.

They just answered it though.
