A screenshot of an unnecessarily complex Houdini geometry graph that generates randomised smoothed jitter in cables.
Vibes. These wires definitely needed realistic jitter to avoid being too smooth. There definitely isn't more important art I could be working on instead of detailing.
I *think* this is a compressor
Hah, having just gotten out of that game - this is gold
VST UI circa 2025
A game where you’re a hedge fund trying to strip as much value as you can from Busytown
Watching Postman Pat with the kid and I’m convinced the show depicts a kind of Shutter Island care in the community situation
Maybe in the same way that PFI moved liabilities off government books?
Slightly regretting staying up very late listening to techno and getting a cable tool in Houdini to fix self-intersections by draping the cable over itself…

Learning procedural modelling from scratch in Houdini
Really respect the “fuck it, I got paid” at the end there.
Fuck knows what’s wrong on Apple Silicon Macs though. Some kind of JUCE armageddon.
Deleted last post - PSA, if your plugins seem unstable in Ableton/Cubase upgrade to the latest (non-WHQL) AMD drivers.
that the financial barriers to music production (or any career in the arts) can be very high is a problem that AI generators cannot actually solve
How’s Unreal development on Mac these days? Let’s say I don’t care about MetaHuman. Can I replace windows here?
Late next “Kenosha kid in Gravity’s Rainbow” contender
And it’s like - this isn’t so hard at all, why were we scared about presenting it to children? And it’s helped my playing (taught guitar as a kid, self-teaching keyboards now) a *lot*.
I’ve been having fun over the last week or so learning music theory from scratch. I’m not sure if it’s a specific UK comprehensive education circa 1990s thing but despite learning to play instruments and being the proud holders of music GCSEs, neither myself or my partner were taught theory…

All aboard #milibandwagon
Is this the old “No Man’s Sky” (at release) problem of “cool tech demo, but where’s the game?”
Maybe there was something in the air (or maybe I’m just getting old)? I just finished watching it for the first time and yes, it’s unexpectedly great.
The most unpopular members of the Tories are going to Reform and they are presenting this news to us like it's a Big Win. It's like London Zoo having a big party because they've created a rat enclosure 😂😂😂😂😂
*s/and/bad/, I blame champagne.
Is there a German word for “I recognise that I’m and at interacting with the state so I hired an accountant, but I still procrastinate long enough on sending them information each year that tax returns are still stressful?”
Flat iron is always good and on the cheaper end of the steak frites spectrum: maps.apple/p/rzxkCMQeyS...
Also wonder to what extent, given the stance on post-Maduro leadership, whether this is a huge “fuck you” to the Nobel Prize committee. Like, sometimes, you’ve just got to take the guy literally.
I’ll have a peek at his constituency office on Tuesday and see if they’ve replaced the Thatcher posters with Powell already.
Oh Christ. He’s our local MP. Knew he was prime reform material, didn’t think he’d move so soon.
No thank you, no day job today, can I just not
*taps the “assume the pettiest of motivations” sign*
Thank you!
