I’ll be speaking at GDC this month: “The Art and Animation of KEMURI” - see you there! 🫶 @officialgdc.bsky.social

Please submit a request to Discord to ask for the removal of generative AI features. It's fast and it works! Easy copy paste: Please remove generative AI features from Discord, it's unethical and unsustainable. Thank you.

Unreal really doesn't like you creating UObjects outside of the main thread. But Voithos explains how to do it, carefully. https://voithos.io/articles/creating-uobjects-from-async-threads/ #UnrealEngine

Can I introduce you to my lovely cinnamon bun Adrian? Drawn by the amazing @delsinsfire.bsky.social, he is exploring the nine hells in #ChainsofAsmodeus. A lovely cleric who wises to do good but will probably get burned quite fast. #dnd #ttrpg #penandpaper

Chan chan ai chiki chiki ban ban! 💃 Was a fun afternoon project

Echte Mäuse geheb heute Wählen! (Wir waren schon)

Heute!

Geht wählen und haut die Faschos aus dem Bundestag raus. Danke.

In my experience, real-time playback supercedes all other requests from animators. If you have a fancy feature but it impacts playback, it will be requested to be removed. Provided you aren't restricted by tech debt, a little knowledge of Maya's parallel evaluation makes hitting 24/30 FPS easy

Sometimes I spend a few hours animating a combo without any intention beyond honing my skills, since sometimes being a director means not animating for a while. VFX by @srrafles.bsky.social

Q: How do you defeat a werewolf? A: Put him on his back and give him bellyrubs - Our Pathfinder Party

It's cool to be inspired by what we see in the movies, but we also have super interesting characters around us. So inspired by the atmosphere on the Mediterranean coast @laurasirvent.com and I created: The TETE Tribal tattoos, tanned body and protein shakes.

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

just noticed my website still links to the platform that shall not be named...will need to update that soon

Hey! Turns out we've been nominated for 4 awards at the Pégases this year! To celebrate, here's a thread about some of the INCREDIBLE people who worked on this game! Don’t hesitate to share their profile, they might be looking for new projects :) 🧵

Don't think I've ever said this outright before, but the Game UI Database is NOT driven by AI. All 60,000+ screenshots were tagged BY HAND by myself over the last four years. Every screen type, every filter - even the colours! When you're passionate about the quality of your work, you don't need AI.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

Wenn ihr mich am 15. auf der Anti AfD Demo in Düsseldorf mit meinem Protest Plakat seht, feel free mich nach gratis "Ich scheiß auf die AfD"-Stickern anzusprechen, ich hab 300 dabei 😌

Unreal-style Singletons with Subsystems Subsystems are a simple way to make modular, globally-accessible logic. https://benui.ca/unreal/subsystem-singleton/ #UnrealEngine

I thought the CVS guy was going to ask me to join the rewards program but he said "enjoy your night" so I said "not today, thanks" and left.

Check this out!! Courtney created the rig, animated it AND made it into an animset!! Someone hire them!!!

My animation style tends to be exaggerated/fast/over the top/... so I struggle trying to create subtle moments... but I'm pretty happy with how Ku (Ori and the Will of the Wisps) feels in this little shot. [Sound ON]

I just want to worry about something real for once

A few years ago @laurasirvent.com gave me the opportunity to collaborate with her and animate her MTV Ident. It was a lot of fun! You can check out the full project here: www.behance.net/gallery/9310...

There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

🐺🐺 TYRANTS BETTER RUN 🐺🐺 The I Am Your Beast OST is now available on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3258570/...

Another little animation I made a while back to work on dynamic cameras and contrasting rhythms.

Can we please move GDC? Vancouver’s pretty nice! As is Amsterdam! Or we could even grab Cologne twice a year. We used to have GDC Europe there!

vimeos now flooded with AI nonsense, can we as animators collectively migrate to anima.to/reels/ for reel hosting pls and ty

This was one of the first animations I shared online, and it was also my first (and only) first-person animation I've ever made. I'd like to make another one someday!

Yuck Elon, and Yuck Twitter Gold 🤮 It costs around 12K a year…. What a horrible waste of money, Instead of doing that, we are giving $1000 to a different charity each month this year. Starting with Doctors Without Borders!

I'm really trying to wrap my head around half tones but they just do not make sense to me. Here's a attempt

Banning Twitter links on discord is a thing, I hear? Great stuff, more of that pls!

Oooohhh the movement is catching on elsewhere outside of reddit. Awesome

Mini-reel of my favorite shots I've done for my pinned!

Did you know you can use the translation of transforms to drive curves in Maya? It's a clean method that avoids deformers like clusters, and is really easy to set up #rigtip
