Seems like the next few days will be mostly rough weather. I think I'll just stay home and do more 3D modelling.

My Windows taskbar has been broken for the last few months Satya.

So I was gifted a 3D printer for Christmas, and I now have a soldering iron. I might tinker with electronics again.

I haven't accomplished all my holiday break goals after all. I ended up mostly eating cheese in front of the TV. My apologies.

The topology could be better, but here's some progress on the main castle.

Good riddance 2025!

Not a very eventful NYE for me, the tradition every year is to watch Infoman and the Bye Bye on TV with the family. Basically two TV specials doing a review of the year. Given how chaotic 2025 was, it's probably safer to do something a little more boring.

Welp. It seems like I'm gonna celebrate NYE while dealing with allergies. My eyes hurt.

Thinking how a few years ago, our supervisor at our studio asked "Who downloaded dirt on the computers?". I was very confused and nervous because she was looking at me while saying it. Turns out she didn't mean pornography, she meant dirt textures we needed for the project.

Taking some of the holiday break time to overhaul my Canterlot castle model. That thing was a mess, with models I made back in 2013 combined with recent ones.

Drawing of Twi and Luna from a few years back. Wonder what Luna thought of Twilight ending up taller than her. :3 #mlp

Did a full replacement of a mouse switch for my computer mouse. Haven't touched a soldering iron in a decade, I don't miss it tbh.

Not a very noteworthy day tomorrow, but I'm supposed to receive a replacement battery for my wireless mouse. I got myself a soldering iron and a replacement switch for the faulty left button, so I should be fixing that too.

2025 in animation for me has been all over the place.

So I took the day to work on some animatics. Nothing too special otherwise for the next few days. Seems like I might still shoot B-roll footage for the live action short film on the 30th given the weather.

This. AI is used by lazy people. The laziness will always be the weak point.

So I have to shoot some footage for a project during the holiday season, and it seems like the best weather conditions for it to get just the right lighting are on the 30th. It's gonna be cold af tho.

Happy Hearth's Warming Eve!

Happy Hearth's Warming Eve!

Heading to my hometown for the holidays tonight. Seems like the holidays will be a little weird yet again. I can't remember the last time I had a normal Christmas.

Oh they're looking for ideas? I got a movie idea involving an illusionist for hire, can I borrow a few million dollars?

Fun fact, we didn't use AI on the production. Just pure artistic work, lots of caffeine, and lots of pasta salad from the shawarma place on the first floor.

So I've been holding on it for over a year. The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is now in theaters, and I got the opportunity to work on the animation!

Fun fact, this is only a few blocks away from where I used to work pre-COVID.

Almost done editing this week's short. It's a special one this time around, I think you'll enjoy it.

I could fight over an AI to generate shitty images, or just sketch ideas on a cheap Android tablet. It's not hard to sketch compositions and then use that in your projects.

"If you know how to tell a great story, you will love AI" I have yet to see a good story told by AI. I've seen plenty of extremely generic stories tho.

So a while back I sent a message asking an app developer about an oversight on his app involving a toggle that wouldn't stay off since it would break things for me. He has since fixed the issue, and by fixed I mean he took out the toggle and made it default to on. What the fuck man ...

GLIMMIES HEREEE it wouldn't be a true holiday without some friends with ya <3 <3 glimmy loves to spend the holidays with her lil 'ixie ✨💖💖 Happy day 3 of the 12 days of #Trixmas

Recording a pretty important video tomorrow. Wish me luck, I've been meaning to record it for a long time.

OOps seems your trixie got reindeer'ed :3c I'm sure your presents will get there on time 🎄🎁 Happy day 2 of the 12 days of #Trixmas <3

People were asking about the Rainbow Dash watch in one of the Anthology shorts. It's not AI, I just built a whole 3D custom watch in Blender and rendered it with a lot of DOF and chromatic aberrations.

Seems like my computer mouse has been dropping clicks, and the battery is struggling to hold a charge. A new one is $159.99, I think I might just get myself a new soldering iron and new parts to fix the current one instead. I haven't touched one in over a decade.

And safely returned back to Montreal. The trip back home was pretty uneventful. Now time to transfer all the footage I shot during the convention. I filled a whole iPhone with footage of the con.

On the way back home, stopped in Pulaski, the same place we stopped for the night back in 2023 when my car's transmission died on the way to TrotCon.

And thus concludes my 51st convention, The Hearth's Warming Club. Doing a holiday themed My Little Pony convention was a strange decision, but it absolutely paid off. Props to Brooke, Ctoacu and all the staff for making it happen.

Saw Zootopia 2 with @mintyroot.bsky.social Great movie.

@ponyhwc.bsky.social 's charity results.

We ended up watching A Very Minty Christmas on the big screen. I can count the pixels.

Had to wake up extra early for day 2 of the con. No panels for me, but I'll be walking around and attending panels. My right hand is still in a bad shape, thankfully better than yesterday.
