I vow to keep my following lists updated this time

For the amount of discourse about yellow/white paint in video games you'd think that'd extend the people who make AI flyers but no they love that stuff

Intrusive thought. The Dressmaker video game should be used to teach UV unwrapping

Pet Peeve: Online stores which are just a grid of every product with every individual option and almost no way to distinguish them apart. Give me a store landing page that gives me your product lines with distinguing factors. Please.

It's hard to find nuance in a charged situation that aligns with your own but Flora puts to paper the complicated emotions I've been feeling since the news came out.

Tracked down the footage behind my decade-long profile picture.

Youtube in Firefox was so borked until a Reddit thread told me to pause Ghostery. Hope this helps you too.

Today I learned there's a Google Messages web-app that can let you access texts via a web portal. (Used it to download a file my parents sent over text wouldn't download on mobile)

Integer Passes. C4D Setup and AE Implementation for a Mosaic Logo. I needed a solution to select clones via Essential Properties but cryptomattes need to be clicked to make selections. Integer Passes to the rescue! I couldn't find any info online about using them in AE so here's my contribution

It's no surprise that we are seeing the result of this issue now: A lot of tokens being used with lots of cost, but not much to show for it. The problem, of course, isn't directly AI. It's management. AI has amplified the issues of bad management, and lays them bare much more quickly.

Love when someone known for one thing gets to geek out about another thing (I might have gotten to the Mike Schur EP of @99pi.org’s power broker series)

I saw this picture and immediately had to show it to some level designers.

Extra Medium Power, Extra Medium Responsibility

Reminder to leave keyframes at frame 1 and frame time-1 if you're using a time track in C4D

Moonlighters this year was so good! Lots of gifs, lots of short films, a lot to inspire cool work. That we come together as a Chicago community to celebrate each other's work is honestly incredible. I needed it

After Effects 26.3 is live! A lot of long-awaited stuff in this release: 🎥 Depth of Field in Advanced 3D 🌟 Copy & paste Illustrator and SVG content 🤿 Faster, more accurate Mask Tracker 📋 Copy frame to clipboard 🌀 Brand-new Curl Noise effect 🔤 Variable font filtering helpx.adobe.com/after-effect...

Saluting this fallen Zoom H4N. It's been in a mount as my audio interface and as I went to adjust it the threaded insert crumbled the plastic around it. 🫡

Can't believe Derek just released his newest course for free.

I made this by stealing the Rocky footage from a PHM social ad, then filmed BD in front of an in-game "green screen" in Jedi Survivor. Now they're friends!

Intentional decision making is lost in pursuit of flexibility later in the pipeline where someone else will make the call.

Tonight's a "compare yourself to the creative output of the entire industry" kind of evening

Our feature artist/reference for today is this SIMPLY BRILLIANT gif on ANIMATING LOOPS by the amazing @kinucakes! The explanation of the differences here using those black line examples is pURE GENIUS! #gamedev #animation #animationdev #anime #manga #conceptart #characterdesign

Apps are just websites where it's illegal to ad block and prevent tracking. If you research a flight, the tracking says you're back for it so they increase the price because you must want it. You can't turn that off in an app. You can with a browser.

Got this @freestylemograph.bsky.social render to a place I'm happier with it. Onto the next one!

Mocha and CC Power Pin are really a match made in heaven.

I'm about 80% of the way through this project and I just remembered CC Power Pin can unstretch. If you stack one Power Pin to unstretch and then a copy to re-stretch, tracking becomes so so so much easier. It's a shame I only remembered now after so much work completed

Late night @freestylemograph.bsky.social test render

Better than I expected tbh! Some I absolutely couldn't see. I did learn I need to clean my monitor though. www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/

Where the AI that caramelizes onions huh?
