a title card from the award nominations video that says: BEST SCORE & MUSIC LEVELED UP BY (SPOTIFY LOGO)

like i am not going to devote a fraction of my brain to being upset for longer than a minute, but this says about all you need to know about the legitimacy of TGA's awards at least as it applies to music

Would be a kinda fun task to come up with a list of the Ten Songs You Could Use To Score Every Video Essay

Curious about how the simulator works? How do we make simulation-ready meshes at all? Check out some of the materials on my website here: alvin.pizza/hyperdimensi...
There's also some code to extrude some 3D meshes into 4D prisms, along with a light viewer.

Hey you!! Ever wondered what a bunch of 4D noodles would look like falling into a 4D bowl?
I'm happy to announce that I'll be presenting
Hyper-Dimensional Deformation Simulation at @acmsiggraph.bsky.social 2025!!

A new way to animate! I’ve been working on this for months with a friend ✨ It’s an add-on for #blender3d #b3d
