As an HCI-trained person, what modellers/animators/riggers consider a well-labelled/organized hierarchy of controls + geometry is always unintuitive to me! I feel like there are a lot of conventions that are not clear to a layperson as being a neat or clean way to organize things

Goes over what to look for when translating anatomy into topology, and where edge loops and 5-gons can be placed on the face for good results

Lazo goes over something that come up a lot - big thing about the face is that the muscles are skin to bone or skin to muscle instead of bone to bone

this is literally some sports manga shit (there's a different soccer league in the northern region and they play in the snow and this gives them special ice tactics that make them difficult to face)

This is honestly a touching photo.
There may be no "Joe Rogan of the left" in this scenario but there is something about how Mamdani interacted with left-leaning but "politically incorrect" influencers like Nimesh and Mullen and how that may have influenced young men (guys in their 30s and 40s)

My work @jaliresearch.bsky.social is doing another free webinar, this time on basic facial rigging by our tech art generalist Lazo Poncho! Super excited to learn from him about topology + edge flow and hear about his experience dealing with tons and tons of rigs!
