Took some time these past couple weeks to take a course in Unreal Engine cinematics from Bad Decisions Studio. Turns out it was a good decision! Course assets are provided, you learn the rest. Recommend.

This video does a great job explaining why VFX artists reign supreme over AI. It's about control and choices.

This month I'll be launching a Patreon that's mostly going to be creation-driven, featuring show content as well as 3D assets, ambiences, and sound design elements. I'll be kicking it off with a full cinematic. Here's a sneak peek.

Excited to be included in this among some great creators. Last Dance is a fantastic show, and I love talking to other showrunners. There's a form included for questions, for those interested in tuning in live.

Been spending a little too much time making space shoes.

Considering offering some of my boot models on Patreon. Should I?

Logged into Linkedin to post my latest reel and it's such a cesspool of corporate AI evangelists that I feel grossly out of place sharing a portfolio that's an accumulation/result of doing things myself for two decades.

I miss skill appreciation, now we just have "did you do this in Runway?"

You got an example? Sometimes those things are brams of orchesteral stingers that are manipulated, usually orchestral (?) But also Colin Stetson started some weird shit with his work on Hereditary that is now pretty common.

New to modeling in #Blender, and one of the things I struggle with is scale. Working on a larger-than-life environment is more challenging than it seems

There hasn’t been a lot of time to really dig into the new version of Unreal Engine lately, but now that I have, it’s easy to see that Metahuman 5.6 is one hell of a glow-up. Its added morph targets for muscles are really impressive. Very realistic movement.
