Tonight (7/30/2025 at 6pm EDT) we're going to try to make an animation like this art from Apoxia: www.instagram.com/ap... We'll see how we go about creating it, but some non-simulation options might happen. We'll see!

Tonight (7/23/2025 at 6pm EDT) I'm going to take a shot at making a dust explosion inspired by this reference: www.instagram.com/re... Never sure what we'll come up with, but join us for the process!

Tonight (7/16/2025 at 6pm EDT) I'm going to try to make some abstract cloth inspired by Ariel Ting Wei Lu. Check out her amazing website here: ariellu.com/google-d.... Not sure how it will turn out, but it should be fun regardless!

Tonight (7/2/25), I'm a little unsure about what we should do. It will be a bit of a viewers choice, and if nobody has a live suggestion I'm going to play with some stuff in Vellum. Sorry for the indecision, but it should be fun either way.

Tonight (06/18/25 at 6pm EDT) we're going to work on creating some animated, nested instances in Solaris. USD can be tricky for a lot of people (me included!), and hopefully we'll clear up some misunderstandings.

Tonight (6/11/2025 at 6pm EDT), we're going to create something inspired by this ad from @TactycStudio: youtu.be/ULgOsnNxexI...
There's a cool melting effect that we'll try to use Vellum Grains and MPM on. Hope to see you then!

Tomorrow night (6/4 at 6pm EDT) we're going to be joined by Tom Goffelli (aka WaffleBoyTom). He's going to walk through the basics of using APEX outside of the current rigging/animation tools. This should be a bit of a continuation of his awesome talk at FMX. See you then!

Tonight (4/16/2025 at 6pm EDT), we're going to look at how to make an MPM sim inspired by this work from Jan Elsner: www.instagram.com/re...
It's a really great piece, and since he mentioned using MPM for the project we'll do the same. Hope you join us!

Tonight (2/5/25) we're going to try to recreate some of the visuals that Andrej Troha made in his Trypophobia pieces (www.artstation.com/a...). Lots of great visuals here to dive into. Also, we'll be starting a little later than usual at 6:30pm ET.
