There’s nothing quite like looking at someone else’s slippers and thinking “those look so nice,” before realizing “oh no, those are my slippers”

My favourite part of the work day is the hour at the end when I make the same mistake six times - each mistake more spectacular than the last - then walk away knowing I'll spend five minutes fixing it first thing the next morning

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Finishing up one of those video things with the blocking of this blocky intro #b3d

I just saw a terrifying spider but it’s ok Noah Hawley has already offered to nerf it

The first stage in making an appealing animation is some ugly ass storyboards

It’s very sunny so I’m going from room to room trying to persuade all my house spiders to go outside because they might meet someone

I don’t know what’s worse - dealing with house spiders in spider season or googling how to deal with them

Opening day of Martin Scorsese’s AFTER HOURS, 9/13/85

Sadly I won’t be attending Blender Conference next week for personal reasons. But you can still experience my presentation though … just get someone with a British accent to yell “stop using the word complicated” at you for 20 minutes

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

The reason you can’t find my latest video isn’t because YouTube is hiding it from you it’s because I’m still editing the bloody thing

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’m mad as hell you didn’t mention that Paddy Chayefsky WROTE “Network” and I’m not going to take it anymore

The new video is going well

Yet again I find myself at the too much end of the todo scale

Why are you reposting someone if you hate them? Are you in a romcom?

Saturdays when you stay in your pajamas all day are great. But, they’re not as good as pajamas-all-day Tuesdays

It’s Peter Sellers’ 100th birthday. If you’re feeling down today, watch this. I have a feeling it might make you feel a little better. youtu.be/64yianfGvzc?...

19,962 subscribers on my second birthday. Tantalizingly close to 20,000 - but there’s nothing like some “almost” to lend a little drama to things. Year three is gonna be a bit different for a number of reasons. My presentation at BCON25 will be one of them … #b3d #geometrynodes

Tomorrow’s the 2nd anniversary of my YT channel & I made a 35min patreon video for “named attribute” members on how I animate nodes.

I’ve never edited a video on editing before and I’m pretty sure my brain just fell out of my ear

Nothing delivers human scale in a sci-fi industrial setting quite like a gantry. But there's only one of me and I'd rather not spend ages building stuff that I might need to change or bin. So I spent this weekend in Blender geo-nodes making an automatic gantry builder (and also a pipe builder).

Nothing says “deadline” like abandoned file naming conventions

Breakfast burritos - the goat chili & coffee delivery system

Why did every sixty something British man at the airport today look like Danny Boyle?

Do what you love for a living, and you will never have a day off for the rest of your life.

It shouldn’t be called “color management”, it should be “color cope-ment” because I can’t stop screaming

I've grown to enjoy the challenge of a youtube video's first 30 seconds. It's a bit like flirting (...so I've been told, wouldn't know). Working and reworking to catch the attention of your audience you can get to the heart of what you're trying to do www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGmM... #b3d #blender3d
