Holy smokes, other than "Kiss from a Rose" they've greyed out all the best tracks! Michael Hutchence's "The Passenger" changed my life 😭

Incredible work. Those seats look like a menace on a hot summer's day, but wow are they stunning.

Also, FYI the final above was basically "make two versions of a scene with contrasting lighting". Vague, but fun. And hey, now I can kinda wrangle emissive fog volumes, so I've got that going for me!

Haha, love the lil fella!
Are you doing the in-person Think Tank? I was contemplating applying for the online version since I'm not local, but I'm curious if it'd be worth it.

Those mossy rock clusters are so good!

It's stuff like this that makes me genuinely wonder how folks work in teams. Like.. what happens when you're handed something like this at a studio? Do you send it back and tell them to git gud? Do you fix it yourself?

Oh wow, that's some top-shelf cassette futurism!

I can have one little connected vert, as a treat

Tried merging verts, but the UV shells won't unfold without triggering a non-manifold warning, And then Maya reverts the geo back to its unconnected state.
I'd redo all the topo by hand, but this thing is massive and each mistake is somehow different 😭

No, no, you're right. He's well-known as a member of Gotham's infamous villain trio "The Costco Guys".

Liz is def the highlight of the list. But in truth I had to skip over a few known entities to include her, because it was just wall-to-wall dudes. Awkward female nerd rep in media is still piss-poor, it would seem.
This test really had my number, I fear. 😭

I *adore* this texture - Rococo's "more is more" vibe is such a tough thing to capture without it veering into wedding cake territory. Gorgeous.
I hope you go through with your personal project and post pics!

Hell yeah. I'm bogged down in school right now, but would love to meet up sometime at any place I can get to by Waymo, haha.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Right? And it's an ongoing series of bad choices. It's just rake-step after rake-step.

See, I originally thought about Carl having a Cybertruck, but imo he's nowhere near enough of an asshole. And Carl's heart already belongs to his prized "2 Wycked" Dodge Stealth ES.
...which Shake would immediately wreck with his stolen Panzerwagon.

How have you been able to extract those mattes / skyboxes? Are you repainting them by hand?
Either way, looks great!

Incredible news. It’s so nice to hear a positive employment story!
A million congrats - hope the work is fun & engaging! 😄

Man, the old NAC was of my absolute favorite brutalist buildings. It definitely needed a facelift, but from the recent photos I’ve seen, the vibe is completely different post-reno.

What’s your secret to enjoying it? Gyms always give me hella anxiety 😟

omg I'm all booked up this weekend (ugh) but I'd love to sometime! I've never done karaoke (too afraid of failure) but I'm a good cheering section haha

Yeah, same. It’s genuinely exhausting.
I tracked down that Twitter thread you referenced and.. yeesh. It’s like you won Reply Guy bingo over there.

For real. It's getting to the point that mf'ing Maya has better stability. Grim benchmark.
All told, I think I only lost about 15 mins worth of work. But trying to figure out which settings were tweaked during those 15 minutes... 😬
Good luck getting back into the flow!
