Not sure what I was going for with this one. But shapes doing things, as they do.

Can we just have one week without constantly accelerating civilizational downfall?
Just to take a break for a bit. Maybe two weeks.

Trying out pppanik's latest tutorial. I highly recommend checking it out. I added some edge detection in the feedback loop and it sort of turned out like a physarum simulation

I made this last week but neglected to post it. It's nice to review my output and sometimes find things I actually like.

Twisty color blobs say hello.

It can have a steep learning curve and it takes some getting used to, but it's worth it if you want to do realtime rendering or interactivity. There's a ton of good learning material out there to help get past the weird bits

Any company that has had a data breach should be banned from requesting that same data.
You had your chance and you screwed it up. You don't get more.

Took an old project from 2017 and rebuilt it with pops. Maybe that's the solution to my creative block. Just rebuild all my old projects and expand on them.

Illustration of organic abstract shapes and small characters

When not at a computer I've been doing these recently. There's a sort of rule set to it restricting the available shapes and creatures. I haven't bothered to put it into words but there sure are a lot of eyeball people pointing at things.

This is a closeup of an 18x24" board.

This one is from my "a bunch of shapes spinning" phase which lasted for perhaps too long.

Anyways, shapes. They spin.

Somehow I can't currently seem to make anything decent that isn't just a rehash of something I've already done. I'll figure it out eventually but it's frustrating.

Anyways here's another hallway thing with stair blending!

It feels a bit repetitive but I like it. I've done versions of this before. But perhaps uniqueness isn't really necessary.

Some day I'll get tired of iterated transform orbs and make something else, but that day is not today.

This one is from 2017 which is somehow allowed to be 9 years ago. I ended up using it as a mask in resolume a lot though that wasn't the original idea.

It might be fun to try to rebuild it with pops...

I think I actually like this one!
I've been focused too much on novelty and not repeating myself. But I like fractally tunnel things even if I've done a lot of them already.

Blue sky crushed the video so here's an Instagram link.. πŸ˜•

A cartoon of a news report. The picture shows a government official doing a press conference flanked by goons.
The headline reads β€œA man attacked federal bullets with his body”
Underneath the picture is a quote saying β€œthose bullets had families”

It's hard to create things of value while convinced you aren't capable of doing so despite any evidence to the contrary.

Anyways here are some shapes doing 4D stuff.

It's been hard to get back into creative flow after getting out of the hospital. So this one's from earlier. I do have another tutorial scripted out though so I can at least make that.

Finding out one's organs are all in the wrong places is way less fun and exciting than one might expect.

It shouldn't be possible for premiere to crash so hard that you can't even kill the process without fully rebooting, and yet it's happened twice now.

In other news editing my next video is taking a while.

Maybe time to switch to davinci resolve
