I love it for speed and clean renders, with less priority on accuracy of lighting / reflection. I'm trying to make lengthy animations, as quick as possible vs stills ... looking for a stylised clean look vs realism. Been having troub with noise & flickery highlights with the new system :)

I would also find this extremely interesting 🔎

Was reminded of this tour promo for 2012 GoldenAxe / Amdiscs today. Why did the internet seem much more enjoyable then??

Having nostalgic feelings of [JC spoken word voice] "that time we drove up from Hastings at night time on a monday night, to go to a big concert on the North Shore. You were there too, as well as some other people, but a lot of people didnt bother to show up, cause it was a monday night"

u can try it for yourself at home here ... the bit about inserting the toner was particularly good i reckon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVvr...

Accidental dual play of ambient music radio show & Office Photocopier Basic Training Youtube Video was surprisingly good ... took me ages to realise it wasnt all the radio show

In celebratory news, the local gig guide my buddies & I make each week reached 10k followers on ig this weekend. It's approaching 5yrs of doing this every week & I'm quite pleased ppl find it useful

Saving this here so I remember how chaotic my brain has been this year. Hoping to pull it together for 2025 pt2

Blows my mind that there's now a book written about my friend's work. Very much looking forward to celebrating & seeing a rare performance tomorrow at Flying Nun Cuba St. Congrats @disasteradio.bsky.social & @jingajik.bsky.social

Amazed there's only 3 pages mentioning Steely Dan
