The inside of my dog's upper lip.
This is the inside of my dog's upper lip. You are welcome.
I don't think Jesus suffered as much for Christianity as the people who forced themselves to watch a Kid Rock concert to prove that they are "Christians."
As a VFX artist I have to keep my Adobe subscriptions up--but their recent announcement to kill Animate (I suspect because it's the hardest of their programs to shoehorn genAI into) showed how little they care about the artists that have made them what they are. Looking forward to this.
This is such a stupid and hateful country.
Thanks!!
I was working on my movie about how babies are made and this happened. This is not part of the movie this is not how babies are made duh.

I blame God.
Pluto is owned by Skydance, the same group that turned CBS into Trump's mouthpiece.
This is four or five little R&D excursions rolled into a quickie project that really makes no sense, but, well, I gotta keep the artistic thirst of my threes of fans slaked, so here it is.

I'm definitely rendering image sequences (EXRs), then adding some DoF, color correction and film grain in post. You should look into command-line rendering in Blender--it's usually a lot faster because the computer doesn't have to think about displaying everything (like the UI) while rendering.
Maybe 6 hours total.
Less than 2 mins per frame on a stout, but not crazy-powerful PC. The sim itself was also less than 1-1/2 mins per frame with an ending total of 8.2 million points (maybe overkill). It's a bit noisy because I knew it was for social media and would have film grain applied, but still a fast render.
Fun with the MPM solver in @sidefx.bsky.social Houdini.
Sound by me, made with my mouth.

Get out those anaglyph 3D glasses so you can see what it's like to be inside me.
I was playing with the new depth estimator from @maxonredgiant.bsky.social and the Depth Wish script by @action_movie_dad and had to test drive them on some colonoscopy pics.

It's something one doesn't drink after one turns 21. (That's when you transition to Cisco.)
Thanks! I'll have to look into the playing thing (even downsized considerably, the video was too long to upload) or try YouTube or something. I'm a little old man whose grasp of the mechanics of social media is tenuous at best.

A doodle during a lecture grew into a drawing of our dawg. She's not feeling too great right now, something we expect her knee surgery in a couple weeks to help. On an absolutely-related note, if you want to buy this drawing for $8000, shoot me a message.

I was actually just watching this (but on Tubi) as the latest in my watch-sleazy-gialli-to-learn-Italian series. La suor è cattiva!
This looks like a blast!
