Yeah sex is great but have you ever poked your nose into a random work thread you had no business participating in, realised it could affect what you are working on and flagged an issue, worried that you've jumped to conclusions, then had somebody say "oh yeah very good callout"?

Hey there Bluesky animators! We are looking for a Lead Animator to join our team at Compulsion games. Bringing life to unique characters, creatures and worlds is what we are all about. So if that interests you 👉 compulsiongames.bamboohr.com/careers/98

today was not a good day to doomscroll :(

Great advice from legendary bassist Victor Wooten, I think there are lessons we can learn from this for teaching/learning other art forms too www.youtube.com/shorts/Uc_bP...

Another long day of writing lengthy replies in Slack, then not sending them and reacting with a thumbs up emoji instead 👍

Sometimes, when objects have so many controls, it can be easier to plan it out in 2D. Then you can use that as reference and sculpt the poses in 3D to match your drawovers. This is a live demo I animated in class this past term at Animschool #animation #3danimation #2danimation #gameanimation

I'm looking for animation work! Here's some of my work, if interested contact me at: [email protected] 📨 #animation #showreel #portfolio

Average people should be able to afford to own a home, buy food for their families, go out to dinner every once and a while, and go on a couple of vacations a year without breaking the bank, and rich people should pay their fair share in taxes.

Animation sketchbook page 30. These were done more than 5 years ago for a video I did about how different animators approached their first pass of rough animation. These are not official names, just my personal labels based on my bias observation.

A large part of my job involves wiggling my mouse over menu buttons to see if Maya has started responding again

Rich is an incredible animator who did every single character animation in Catalyst. You should work with him

If you see this, quote this post with a title screen that's iconic to you

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

One of the most poisonous pieces to any creative process is when the “ideas guy” uses his undeserved yet pungent sense of confidence to convince actually useful people to go crazy fixing all these problems he creates. Then, if it happens to work out, watch this man take as much credit as possible.

I like Bluesky but it's still a pale imitation of Twitter in its prime Lots of people have moved over here, which is great, but the game animation community isn't what it used to be, and some of the most prolific animators are still posting away on X 😞

FINALLY finished this personal animation I've been working on! It's been a big learning process for me! Glad I stuck with it and got it finished! Most I've animated in a while! TMNT Rigs by @kielfiggins.bsky.social #animation #animate #animated #CGI #CG #TMNT #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles

I haven't played the game but I have the soundtrack and I know exactly which song they're talking about

I like how Pete Docter has that extremely unfortunate pull-quote that new Pixar films will shift away from directors' personal stories to focus on "stories with clear mass appeal and universal themes" only for Sony Animation's extremely specific "KPop Demon Hunters" to become a huge hit

This (impending Australian law) is so poorly thought out. We only recently let our two eldest kids start watching YouTube "on their own" (in our line of sight) and I set up accounts for them specifically so I could set limits on what they could view, turn off auto-play, monitor what they watch, etc.

This is so wholesome, and I loved the interview format--it was great to see a proper post-mortem analysing the whole experience and summing up what was learned from it www.youtube.com/watch?v=t76s...

Well said!!

My kids have been getting into the Tintin comics and we've been watching the animated series together I've realised that Hergé was largely to blame for my early understanding of many "adult" concepts, e.g., chloroform and head impacts are 100% safe and reliable ways to render somebody unconscious

Mp5 wip! :)

I work with people in the Bay Area and this absolutely does my Australian head in

Panther / horse comparison of the 4 main quadruped cycles - walk, trot, canter and gallop #animation

Yeah we grew up on cartoons made in like the 40s without even knowing it and I don’t think we appreciate how cool it was to have a shared frame of reference.

Game development is all about creating and raising lots of children and then deciding which ones to keep feeding when you realise how little food you have

Quadruped Locomotion Cycle No.5 – Another Walk (this time it’s an ungulate) #animation #horse #quadruped

Here’s my reference for some of the shots I animated on KPop Demon Hunters. This sequence of shots was particularly fun because it was a rare opportunity to explore Jinu’s goofy side 🙂

More Viewmodel practice. Always been a massive fan of Halo! Wanted to give this awesome DMR model a spin. Thanks to CorkScrew, Haydn, Xander and Pat for the feedback :) Batman rig: cromacore.gumroad.com/l/batman DMR model: sketchfab.com/3d-models/ha...

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'." MBA-brain is real.

Today is my birthday! I just got laid off! 😆🎉 Anyway here is my work. lungjaw.com

Every week in this industry i swear to god

Microsoft just laid off an amount of people equivalent to 3x the Australian Games Industry, to put this into perspective

Really wishing I had gone to bed before seeing tonight's news Now it's 1:30am and I'm still doomscrolling, thanks Phil

Guess I'm out in the wild, again. wiloverton.com for all your silly cartoon needs.
