Absolutely hypnotised by this ❤️

I tapped out at “Two top podcasters…”

I’m love it when the iPhone spatial wallpaper thing gets it just right 👌

Why didn't Disembodied Tyrant win a grammy!? They were robbed.

I suck at vpinball but tiny, tiny improvements mean I get to appreciate each table a bit more as I discover more about them! Had a good few games on X-Men last night, despite not getting very far, I still saw new stuff, it’s great!

My son's back on his toy making ting! He's designed new toys for the party bags of his 9th birthday! ❤️

I just sneezed and bit my tongue all at the same time and I have no idea how.

Shiny buff boi!

Oh dammmmmnnn, realised I can use Blender to make my own 360° stereographic 3D animations in HDR for Apple Vision Pro! One of those discoveries that makes you hyper excited and totally overwhelmed with possibilities!

Hahah, destroy from the inside!

Of course. Mercilessly.

But of course, the murderous fascists must have their own side to the story too! 😐😐😐

Important Father-Son bonding today!

Aw man that screenshot takes me back! I don’t want to throw shade, but the gameplay capture of the new Fable looks to be lacking any of that whimsy or charm!

That’s next up in my watchlist! It previously wasn’t available in 3D, so stoked to try it out now they’ve offered it up!

Tron Ares in crispy 4K + 3D on the Apple Vision Pro is epic!! Probably the best example of a 3D movie I’ve ever watched, super good! 😍

Ahhhahah, I love anyone who really commits to the bit!

Roundup #022 - Bye 25! Hi 26! Hello there! It's been a while hasn't it!? How you doing? Surviving or thriving? Or just skiving? Sorry it's been a while since me last update, the big project I'm directing at Aardman had its big sho...

Oh nice one, rad!! 🙏

Aw thanks mate!! It’s a rabbithole I’ve greatly enjoyed falling down, as a total escape from the hellscape that is 2025/2026!!

It’s cool isn’t it!!

More late-night noodling using the Blender ‘toolkit’ to overhaul my ‘Gnarlybot’ virtual pinball table! Shiny shiny!

Aww yessss - enjoy!!! Keep me posted with your bleeps and bloops!!

Absolutely! I love mine too, so easy to just hop into a game or two!

Aw thanks mate! It’s just Cycles at the minute, and it’s only 512 samples actually! There’s still lots for me to dig into but an encouraging start!

Last night I started my journey into ‘VLM’ - using Blender to create baked light maps - which then get reimported back into Visual Pinball to make the tables look super realistic! This is a very early ‘v0’ of me testing the pipeline for my ‘Gnarlybot’ table!

Rollin’ into 2026 like…
