I've been thinking about making quirky portraits for our puppies for a while, but never got to it...

But @cgcookie.bsky.social had a few Grease Pencil courses that I really wanted to play with, so I figured why not? It's not like Maia really have a say in it 😅 Poor puppy...

I feel like this is the most used toggle on my UI during this time of year. On, Off, On, Off. Everybody ready for New Year's? On!

Anyways... what is your favorite source for sound design for Motion Graphics? I feel like it's by far the trickiest type of SFX.

Very little known facts. In fact, most people wouldn't believe them. But trust me. It's #facts

This is the 1st of a series of animations about the North Pole folk-lore. Yah, they won't all happen before Christmas, so if you have another fact that should totally be animated, LMK!

⬖ Alrighty, this might be better than wiggling hips... Folks, I highly recommend testing your rigs by blocking out a TikTok 😂

This is going to be painful to polish... but for now I'll just laugh a little...

⬖ Another WIP 👀. Slow progress but I guess once all the actions are built I can make crank the series of animations a lot faster.

I decided to use this personal project to dive into the NLA. I know, I know... it's about to be updated, so why bother?

Still need to work on colors and lights. #b3d

⬖ This is from a fun little game of tag on LinkedIn. @kylasaurusrex.bsky.social gave me a perfect excuse to skip a couple of hours at work. Lol.

Y'all probably know I've been deep into the Blender rabbit hole, but it was a lot of fun making this fully in After Effects.

⬖ Well, it turns out that to have fun testing a rig and wiggling those hips you have to design a character that have actual hips 🤔

Since Santa here needs to loose a few pounds, we went for the second best wiggle test: the 'stache!

Santa's rig is done! 🙌

If you don't wiggle dem bones, did you even rig it? 😅

Some rigging, constraints, and drivers studying this morning...

Another test of video uploads here. The compression does improve considerably when we control the Target Bitrate, but it is still quite strong.

I made this #3D render as my Minimalist Planet Session from Kent Trammell. The original is 9x16, but I'm testing bluesky's cropping controls (or lack of).
