Sorry for the TV in the background.

Random discovery of the night, I already knew that Apple computers had a feature where the Caps Lock wouldn't engage if you tapped it too fast to prevent accidental presses.
It seems like the feature is in the keyboard itself, I thought that was just part of the OS.

If you can, learn at least the basics. Doesn't have to be pretty, but at least enough to know what you can't do on a TV budget and how to work around it.

Pony animation collabs rarely succeed, usually because the lead isn't an animator and doesn't know how to properly plan a project that requires animation.
Given Ryan's previous experience, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought they'd only need a few weeks to get it done.

Well that's a relief, two weeks is definitely not enough for me to learn how to play guitar.

I'm a new member of the Blues Bronies?

No, in my case I have already moved to Toon Boom, but it will screw over a lot of artists.

In my short I said that Flash was dead as a platform, but still worked as an animation tool.
Well they're now discontinuing the tool too.

So my short about Flash animation is now outdated, I'll have to issue a correction.
This shit sucks.

"I can tell when we're out of phase with chronostatic fields"

This is an artifact of an ancient civilization.
Also, it's a transporter beam focus array, a replicator isolinear separator, and Wesley Crusher's art project.
It's also Captain Picard's paper weight.

I mean ... I fully agree.
I didn't expect you to say those words tho.

And the horse they WHAT???

I haven't seen that one specifically, but I wonder how much of it comes down to trying to make shot compositions work with the footage that was already shot.
I remember one project where we had to scale a castle differently for a sequence because the perspective just didn't work like we intended.

Good horse, not biased at all.

Fun fact, this is how the ponies look like when they're out of frame in shots with a wide lens.

It's from the trailer for the 2024 Reagan movie.
I'm not fully sure what they were aiming for with that kind of lighting.

We're getting rid of woke VFX and replacing it with patriotic VFX.

Got it.

When I see anthro horse lesbians.

Ponify that Movie! Running at Harmonycon 2026 on Friday 5:00 pm in Cumberland IJK. Hosted by myself, featuring my good friends: XenGaming101, Thoth Penswell, Minty Root, Silver Melody, and Nevaylin!

Movies are back on the menu, folks! We're bringing our shenanigans back to Harmonycon 2026~ featuring @xengaming101.bsky.social @thothpenswell.bsky.social @mintyroot.bsky.social @silvermelody.bsky.social & @nevaylin.bsky.social! Come on by and have a great time!

About 2/3 of the project is EEVEE and 1/3 is Cycles.
Most of it is fine, but a few of the scenes have a few things that don't render the same on Luna and Celestia.

I think I fixed the issue? It seems like the ground plane probe didn't like my scene.
Luna runs a graphics card from 2017 with the last drivers released in 2024. It could be Blender not liking such an old GPU architecture, or AMD and NVidia just not behaving the same.

Well that's weird. Rendered this plate on Luna and it ended up with lots of weird reflection artifacts.
Gonna need to rerender it on Celestia to fix that.

My @harmonycon.bsky.social 2026 schedule!

And they said AI could never truly capture the human experience.

Found out there's a "Brainstorm video ideas" button on YouTube Studio now.
Now it comes with writer's block.

Making backups for the new project.
Your eyes don't deceive you, this project is already the biggest project ever.
I wouldn't be surprised if it hits 800GB at the end of the production.
