Which VFX software actually has the best Python API? On this stream, we’re doing a side-by-side code comparison of Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, Houdini, and Nuke. We’ll test them on essential TD tasks like creating nodes, setting attributes and navigating documentation to see which API is truly "Pythonic" and which feels stuck in the past. Finally, we’ll rate each software from 1 to 5 stars and discuss the future of unifying Python standards across the VFX industry. Watch the full

Our industry isn't straightforward. Often, there are no clear educational or professional paths to follow. We have to make tough decisions and find our way into the roles and studios we want. This is an incredible challenge for anyone who is just beginning to grasp the depth of an entire industry. At the same time, we are influenced and supported by the people in our lives. This can be parents, friends, colleagues or even a kind stranger who mentors us, either directly or ind

A few years ago we made a video " Scripting for Artists in 3ds Max " to introduce newcomers to the worlds of Python and MaxScript in 3ds Max. Sadly, since 3ds Max 2020, Autodesk has retired the old MaxPlus API and introduced the new PyMox library for coding in Max via Python, so it's time for an update. At this stream, we will explain the basics of Python for 3ds Max and demonstrate how to manipulate the software with Python. Join our live stream on 8th January 2026 at 1 PM

Can a Visual Effects studio survive only on film work? " Absolutely not!" Scott Ross is an important part of the history of Visual Effects. He was manager at ILM, Senior VP at Lucasfilm, Chairman & CEO of Digital Domain and one of the Founding Members of Visual Effects Society. He summarized his experiences and a part of the industry's history in his book “Upstart”. In our episode we trace a line from the cloistered halls of ILM and Lucasfilm through the founding of Digi

In our first YouTube stream, we will explore coding with Python in Blender for the first time. In recent years Blender has proven itself to be professional-grade software for visual effects, animation and games. It is free software with a dedicated community and a quick adoption of new technology. Over the years, Blender has outperformed industry giants like Maya, 3ds Max, and Houdini in certain areas, yet it still struggles to find its place in the industry. One way to impr
