“what cool shit can I do as Mayor? oh, I can marry people? awesome, let’s do it” once again the constant theme of “New York is great, New Yorkers are great, isn’t this great?” comes through

Wait Wonder Man is....really good

How do I get a job making animatics and color scripts of trailers for movies that don't exist

We just passed $3 million raised, powered by 57,000+ grassroots donors with an average gift of $31. This campaign is built by people, not the ultra rich or special interests like AIPAC. You decide who Congress answers to.

People in tech love the word heuristic.

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

I could really use Auto Actions in Storyboard Pro

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

I maintain that Flash's Timeline UI is still the clearest and best out of every piece of software I've used.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

So there's ACTUALLY a huge cabal of wealthy pedos and somehow the entire country isn't out in force?

We’ve got a 30 second cut and desperately want to put it on TV. But we’ve gotta raise the money first. Chip in $6, $12, or our average donation of $32 to tell the people about my attack cat: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Satoshi Kon was right

These three movies have been my biggest sources of inspiration lately and I strongly recommend checking them out. French animation has been crushing it for years.

It's getting a bit gauche to say it but this is literally how night city does education

This is so dystopian I genuinely don't know where to start

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS ARE COMING

Fellow artists beware of job listings or recruiters from a group posing as Blinkmoon. Preying on hopeful artists in this job climate is disgusting. Don't let them waste your time. More details in OPs thread.

No studio will ever generate 4 options and be like one of these is perfect. They will generate hundreds/thousands driving up executive indecision and take just as long. The actual problem is not how long artist take, its leadership not knowing exactly what they want. AI will not solve that.

Getting back into the swing of things. New year, personal projects for real this time, etc etc

Limb asset destruction and replacement working. Lucky uses her threads to adapt equipment for Clover's body. So I used her FX theme'ing for the animation. Fun touches: The limbs go ragdoll when broken. Clothing remains ruined even after replacing a limb. #CherubDev #UE5 #Bunny #Mecha

Too much? Trick question. It's never too much. (I created a new module that automates a bunch of the annoying parts of using Level Sequence animations and decided to put it to use.) #CherubDev #UE5

In Clip Studio Paint if you hold shift, you can draw a straight line with your selected brush, but it completely disregards pen pressure. Anybody know if there's a way to make it not do that?

Last night I got to the Phantom Liberty stuff in Cyberpunk and while I love the execution, I really dislike the premise. I think Cyberpunk is at its best when you're just a person trying to survive in the city. Having a huge action set piece with the President just feels like...a lot.

Getting back into the swing of things. New year, personal projects for real this time, etc etc

Man...Phantom Pain still looks incredible and is so buttery smooth

Absolutely fucking insane

Any studios out there looking for a #Blender artist who's specialized in NPR for 3d/2d, adept at all aspects of the pipe, has supervised 2 seasons of TV and multiple full CG shorts? #Pantheon #Pokemon #Area_21 #Redline_Ronin #Absolute_Zero

Teaching announcements for the new year coming soon!

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

It can be difficult to communicate to people what having finite resources means specifically for each project. There's a sort of expectation inflation thing happening and in the TV world it led directly to the current era of multi-year season gaps and insane budgets.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/piz... Pizza Kidd kickstarter is here! I've been busy on another project since the previous demo but I'm still proud of the work I did earlier on this project and the team has been up to some incredible stuff! Very skilled team orbiting this game, give it a look

If you try to opt out of Gmail's scraping of your data for their AI, they turn off your spellcheck and ability to categorize your emails.

Well I finally bought Cyberpunk 2077 and I now have a bug where loading my most recent save immediately crashes the game no matter what I do, and I'm just at the combat tutorial.

I fiddlefarted with the new Simple Mode animation tool in Clip Studio on my Movinkpad earlier, nice little thing to have and play around with. 😄

This was a little bending fight I did for fun before I got to actually work on the Avatar movie.

For any new animation-inclined people, I have a starter pack of Powerhouse Animation studio folks to add to your anim hoard

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Listen, maybe you're scared to speak up because you think one day you might get nominated for an award, but here's a newsflash: it's not of the same value if plagiarism-droid assisted work is eligible. Do not support any of this nonsense. Keep your head down if you must, but don't acquiesce. ✊🏾

So Firefox has gone back on their promise not to sell data and is going in on AI. Anyone have alternative browser recommendations?

the level of corruption is insane. tiktok is compromised come january 22nd. we need to campaign to get as many people aware as possible of this. it's a danger and menace to society.

He would actually be the perfect host

I put my computer together around March of this year and the RAM that I paid $125 is now about $700
