Refine Your Work
The Review Room simulates what it's like to work at a VFX studio. It's also the means for providing feedback and quality control so your work meets VFX studio's high standards.
Live Reviews
Dailies and Monthlies are held via video conferencing with your Lead and teammates. In Dailies you are able to ask your Lead questions as they give you feedback on your shot work. All Dailies are scheduled through the community group. Each dailies is recorded so you can watch the replay at any time.
Rounds
Between Dailies/Monthlies, you will receive feedback in “Rounds”. It's your time to follow up with your Lead to see if you were successful in hitting your notes from Dailies/Monthlies. Submit your work in Review Room and receive written feedback on your work. You will be able to converse with your Lead though the comments box on your shot submission.
Milestones
You can access all of your assigned tasks for your training Milestone on your Artist Dashboard. Progress though your Training Milestones by getting your work reviewed and approved by a VFX Horde Lead. Your work will need to meet VFX industry standards to be approved.
Training Milestones
Milestones are areas of knowledge or skills you need to develop to become a proficient VFX artist in your chosen discipline. Each Milestone has training components and tasks that need to be completed in order to progress beyond that Milestone. Each Milestone builds on the proceeding Milestone.
