The company JangaFX has updated its support program for video game and VFX artists who have recently been laid off. The initiative provides free access for six months to its suite of simulation and effects generation tools. The goal is for professionals to use this period to work on their demos and portfolios.
JangaFX Package Tools and Technical Requirements 🧰
The package includes EmberGen for simulating fire and smoke, LiquiGen for fluids, GeoGen for terrains, and IlluGen for assets. To request it, it is necessary to create an account on their website, complete a form with layoff details and a LinkedIn link. The software runs on Windows 10 and Linux, and its performance is directly tied to the user's GPU power.
When Layoff is the Master Key to Premium Software 🔑
It seems that the career strategy now has an undocumented step: first, get a job in the industry; second, wait for the inevitable layoffs; third, present your layoff notice as if it were a discount coupon. At least, after the bitter pill, you can distract yourself by creating spectacular digital explosions instead of crying over your keyboard.
