Ask for useful feedback
Share an approved breakdown or work-in-progress shot. Explain the intended result and the stage you need feedback on, such as tracking, keying, integration, lighting or compositing.
SUMMUM FOR VFX ARTISTS
A creative community
for VFX artists.
Show breakdowns, discuss difficult shots with peers, and meet filmmakers who value the craft behind the image.
WHO YOU CAN MEET
Connect beyond your own discipline.
BRING YOUR CRAFT
Make the shot and the problem visible.
Connect across disciplines
Connect with filmmakers about what to capture on set and with editors and 3D artists about handoff requirements. Keep studio assets and client plates private unless you have sharing rights.
Find relevant creative assets
Browse published effects elements, textures, compositing resources and 3D assets. Check resolution, alpha channels, software requirements and usage rights on each listing.

A little more context.
Can compositors and generalists both join?
Yes. Summum welcomes different VFX specialisms. Describe your role and the shot context so discussions can be specific rather than assuming everyone uses the same pipeline.
Do I need a paid Community membership to buy assets?
No. Marketplace browsing is public. Buying or selling requires a Summum account, but not a paid Community membership. The Community and Marketplace are separate parts of Summum.
