Same same. I hate when out of the blue I'm just in a funk. And then randomly it lifts in 2-3 days. Gahhh. Hang in there.

My favorite place to write and think: the New York Library of Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. Today: rewriting some of the 3d Act of Secrets of Gara, avatar visual references for the 2nd of four Hero avatars, planning Saturdayβs rehearsal. Good times!
Oh shit that sucks!! Hang in there.
Last weekendβs playtest was a big one. Every time we bring this many people together, Secrets of Gara becomes a little more real. Huge thanks to our dev team, collaborators, and especially our playtesters β your feedback & energy is what makes this possible! Sorry for the occasional yeet π ππ±!
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
Ah that's cool!

Exciting times on this incredible platform!
1) @jackthefoxotter.bsky.social thanks for sharing info on your python wrapper for @resonite.com Link! I'm now curious about any work you're considering for a Blender to Resonite SDK? For anyone curious, ResoniteLink is a new core piece of Resonite, allowing for external SDKs!
We are about 1 year out from launching Secrets of Gara! Iβm excited with what we already have, and there is so much more to come. This is where my head has been and is the vibe Iβm after. We do play testing: for a sneak peek, join our Discord, and get invited! discord.gg/2TjAWhsb4W
What a great experience! It's an annual tradition for me now, working with @creatorjam.bsky.social to make the live multi-cam video broadcast of this insanely cool month-long Maker Competition in @resonite.com. We're about to see some wildly cool and creative work being done!
Ah that is soooo cool!!! Probably Ultraniqe showing off the Zibanajor, I think. Glad to have inspired you!
Really nice work here. The shapeshifting is so seamless and natural looking!
Congresswoman Crockett is one of the few strong and powerful voices on the left who consistently calls out and stands up to the BS coming from the current administration, and I love her for that. Crockett 2028!
Sometimes I want to book time with a therapist for my freaking WORK. But yeah, that's pretty cool of them.
As usual, @ferrymanvr.bsky.social breaking ground and showing traditional media that there's something special beyond the fourth wall. Bravo y'all!
Ah thanks! It's fun to be out here in the wild west!
Development on Secrets of Gara is coming along so well! Our talented team is busy building worlds, creating avatars, putting our systems together. The cast and I are rehearsing and this is shaping up to be something special!
6. Huge thanks to Khang and Waffles for kicking the semester off with such insight and generosity, and to Kent for creating and sharing these important conversations that help teach us all.
5. things that are easy IRL can be hard in VR. In that same shot, getting the avatar to smile naturallyβwithout slipping into uncanny valleyβtook hours of tweaking blendshapes and tuning face tracking. This medium is full of potential, and weβre writing the rules as we go.β
4. One student summed it up beautifully in their reflection paper:
βItβs fascinating that some things are hard to do IRL but super easy in VR. I set up a close-up of an actor flying on a dragon at sunset in 10 minutesβand it cost nothing.β But...
3. And hereβs the best part: we met Khang and Waffles IN virtual reality. Though scattered across the country, we gathered in a shared virtual space, held a deep, personal discussion, and workshopped actor blockingβsomething thatβs impossible to replicate on Zoom.
2. work that left a huge impression on my students. We followed that with the fantastic VoicesofVR interview between @kentbye.com and the team. (listen here: shorturl.at/PzZCn). Then, we had a two-hour workshop with Khang and actor Waffles (sorry, I couldnβt find your handle, you were amazing!).
π§΅ ahead! In the first week of my Directing for Virtual Reality class at @brooklyncollege.bsky.social, I had my students watch Our Precious Autumn by @khangaluwu.bsky.social (watch here: shorturl.at/R9dd4). The film won Best VR Film at Raindance Immersive this year, and itβs a powerful, beautiful
Man I'm really thrilled with @resonite.com's latest performance update! More frames for everyone, larger social sessions, worlds load SO quick, and everything just feels snappy and clean and smooth. Bravo to the entire team! Here's a nice writeup: www.roadtovr.com/resonite-soc...
I lived right across the street from that church for years. Truly stunning architecture and design, inside and out. They shot a 30 Rock Scene there once and I got paid $200 so they could put a big spotlight on my balcony. Fun times.
