On 23 April, 2005, the first video called “Me at the zoo” was uploaded to YouTube by one of the co-founders, Jawed Karim. It was a short video from the San Diego zoo. #InternetHistory

My third time seeing Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds musical. Rou Reynolds is the best Artilleryman I've seen. Hits all the notes, excellent stage presence and acting. The whole show was superb, as always. Uuullaaaaaaaa!

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Well spent past couple of days adding, updating and general clean up of the portfolio after number years not touching it. It’s not perfect and loads more brake downs to make and add to a number of my personal projects in the coming week but it’s better now then it was start of the week at least.

Look at the high poly ACU helicopter I made for Jurassic World Evolution. I was tasked with all stages with designing, concepting, modelling, texturing and getting it game ready with lods and the like. #3dart #vehicleart #hardsurface #gamedev

i get a few replies to ugly and wasteful generative 3d models that I post comparing them to, like, PS1 models and that makes me sad - so many 3D models of that era are masterpieces

Im sure many 3D artists know you can transfer normals from a sphere to get softer and smoother looking trees, but did you know the same process can be used for other visual tricks like stylized fur, clouds, or even blending low-poly objects together? Its a real versatile trick.
