Getting Blender figured out and leaving Max behind. Here's an old tapedeck and TV i had in the late 80's-early 90's - Built in Blender, textured in Substance and rendered in Unity (complete with working TV). Next up, a receiver and record player. Gotta be able to dub tapes off vinyl... obviously.

I like being in my early 50's - so much changing, refining, shedding of useless or harmful habits and taking up healthy ones. It's all too much for a little post, but the juxtaposition between my mental state and the current social/political climate is stark. Weird time to get my shit together.

Alright - i'll start making more of an effort to post here. I've been so heads-down in trying to use my unemployed time to learn new tools and make progress on projects that i haven't been communicating much at all. The Twitterish word-limit is a challenge (as always), but i'll give it a shot.

Edging over to the bluesky world a little more today. Social media in general is slipping further from my immediate attentions, but i do like to stay connected to all the good peoples and hear what everyone is up to.
