This is so fun 😻 Also seeing this shader makes me want to try something...

I got a new job!! I'm going to be a Rigging Artist at Netflix Animation Studios in Vancouver! No more unemployment sads! :D It's going to be a heck of a drive to get to the West Coast, but woooorth iiiiit.

YouTube video by Paramount Pictures The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants | Teaser Trailer (2025)

Excitement! Adventure! Bubble-blowing Baby Boys! The SpongeBob movie I worked on just dropped its first teaser trailer! I rigged Patrick and Sandy, and many MANY secondary and background characters. December still feels like such a long way away....

This may be the first personality quiz I've done since the early 2000s xD I can't say it's wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Et tu, Garfield?

I'm a little late to the party, but Happy Pride to those who celebrate--friends, family, and strangers alike! All your flags are welcome here 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️ 🩷🤍🩵

I'm laughing unreasonably hard at this xD Just a lil guy going on a nice stroll

Down is -Z in Unreal and Blender, too. It generally depends what the most important plane is for the task. In film software, screen space is XY, with Z as depth. In (most) game and architecture software, the ground/floor is XY with Z as height (at least that's what I was taught)

Correct my math, but 215 is 1 more than 214, right? I'm not sure where you're getting 6 from the image you posted.

This is the right attitude 💜

10x10 looks like a more appropriate size to me. Single 8x8 block doesn't really feel like enough ground to stand on, and like the Critter shouldn't really be able to squeeze under that ledge (at least not comfortably).

Commented. I'm not at all confident they'll actually read or care what we have to say, but well worth a minute or two of my time to try, in any case.

It's true, I've been 38 for 4 years now 😏

I'm not really a game dev (more a 3d artist who started dabbling in Unreal) but I figured it out eventually, so I have full faith it'll click with you! A lot of the really powerful parts of the Ability System requires C++ tho, so my usage is fairly simple (I work primarily in Blueprints)

Fat-rolling for justice (my build isn't optimized for this)

Plus, at least from World onward, there are Dragon coins/Red coins/whatever secondary objectives to collect to encourage exploring the rest of the level.

And not my internal Yamcha 😅

I'm trying really hard to embody my internal Picard today.

"Keep it, I've got a Pitbull now!" Seriously, that looks super cool!

This is ridiculous in the best way

Lol, fair

Are rays more efficient or less prone to bugs? And do things like a sphere trace count as a collider or ray? (Because I'm using a good number of sphere/capsule traces 😅)

And more cake 🎂

Just don't splash Saturday 1/2 with cold water.

Or conversely get a small SSD just for the OS and leave the current HDD installed as a storage drive.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words! 😁 I don't have any good tutorial recs for Blender, specifically. I know Blender defaults all bones to Quaternion, which never behave the way I expect. Switching them to Euler might help? Also Richard Williams' Animators Survival Kit is a top-tier general anim ref
