Can't believe Derek just released his newest course for free.

I made this by stealing the Rocky footage from a PHM social ad, then filmed BD in front of an in-game "green screen" in Jedi Survivor. Now they're friends!

Intentional decision making is lost in pursuit of flexibility later in the pipeline where someone else will make the call.

Tonight's a "compare yourself to the creative output of the entire industry" kind of evening

Our feature artist/reference for today is this SIMPLY BRILLIANT gif on ANIMATING LOOPS by the amazing @kinucakes! The explanation of the differences here using those black line examples is pURE GENIUS! #gamedev #animation #animationdev #anime #manga #conceptart #characterdesign

Apps are just websites where it's illegal to ad block and prevent tracking. If you research a flight, the tracking says you're back for it so they increase the price because you must want it. You can't turn that off in an app. You can with a browser.

Got this @freestylemograph.bsky.social render to a place I'm happier with it. Onto the next one!

Mocha and CC Power Pin are really a match made in heaven.

I'm about 80% of the way through this project and I just remembered CC Power Pin can unstretch. If you stack one Power Pin to unstretch and then a copy to re-stretch, tracking becomes so so so much easier. It's a shame I only remembered now after so much work completed

Late night @freestylemograph.bsky.social test render

Better than I expected tbh! Some I absolutely couldn't see. I did learn I need to clean my monitor though. www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd/

Where the AI that caramelizes onions huh?

How many times in the last ten years has a reporter asked a question in THIS manner to this one person? It’s a breath of fresh air and I’m guessing we won’t see a reporter do something like this again for another 18 months or so.

Every Predator movie should have a corresponding Assassin's Creed game

Tonight!

Where's the AI that can kern letters properly huh?

hope this helps @okremiok.bsky.social c:

Clients want to be JRPGs. You get to the final deliverable and nail it but only then is it revealed there was a secret stakeholder the whole time. What do you mean these notes have a third boss phase?!

Rolling credits on Alan Wake II and I'm enjoying how many post production shops were involved beyond the typical game dev outsourcing. I know not every game can be made by Remedy but a boy can dream

Pulling footage for a reel can make you feel like you've never made any good work in your whole life.

somehow no matter how many times I turn off promotion notifications it turns back on because they're getting paid to promote gambling. This is not okay venmo

How Motion Graphics&Animation Professionals landed in between Estonian Social networks and Swedish Malm FF Supporters I'll never know

Calvin and Hobbes meme: Every Jason Statham movie is a transporter, a snatch, or a meg. Beekeeper? That's a transporter. Expendables? That's a snatch. You'd think the Italian job would be a transporter but it's actually a snatch.

This is so cool If the setup didn't seem so fiddly (like most racing sims) I'd be all over it

My new conspiracy theory is... with the knowledge that stopping support for Animate would have backlash, Adobe used the "Door in the Face" negotiating technique. By rolling it back users are inclined to be slightly less annoyed than if it was the original ask.

Snowgraph 2026 was a huge success! We hit the slopes, played board games, talked shop and had a great time. Thanks to everyone who made it out. You make this event special. Here's looking forward to our 11th Snowgraph next year!

🤔 What is the shape frequency threshold in VFX, and why should you implement this principle in your work? Catch up on the timeless Shape Style Guide from Jason: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQDQ... #gamedev #vfx #realtimevfx #rtvfx

What an incredible look into how product design is just as iterative a process as graphic design or motion design. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Avey...

It's crazy that in 2026 you can't temporally stop notifications on a slack channel.

My Discover Weekly playlist is basically all Sawano. I don't know how Spotify figured out I need to lock-in for work this week but they're making it happen.

I B O N, ctrl+shift+x It's an #afterEffects sequence burned into my mind.

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.

Two weeks to go until Snowgraph-Chicago 2026! Every year, the people are the best part of this trip. Letting loose celebratory first times late-night games conversations away from screens Join us in the cabin or on the slopes. If you’re a Chicago motion designer on the fence, this is your sign.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

It's way easier to go to the gym when the temperature is above freezing

I _JUST NOW_ learned the post office logo is an eagle.

I'm digging the design of this science gif

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Thank You
