Choosing to start an animation studio with a cooperative model feels like a step in the right direction: honouring the long struggle of animation workers and making capital serve labour.

New Idea:
A kid-sized dummy attached to the front of school buses.
When a bus-driver sees a car blowing the stop sign as they're letting kids off, they can launch the dummy in front of the car, so the driver gets to think they murdered a child by blowing the stop sign. An unforgettable lesson.

For all the complaints people have about subscription services for plugins, and non-perpetual licenses...
It's a real fuckin' headache when you upgrade your workstation, forgot to deactivate the perpetual license on a plugin you barely use... but then need it on a project immediately.

My day job tends to be working with brands but I don't get to work with my preferred style a lot. Thought I'd see what that might look like!

Me yelling at C4D as usual:

"You are SO expensive. Why did I have to do that manually??"

why is it that every time an animated film trailer or teaser comes out, there's like this gauntlet of nitpicking like this that goes on for months and then everyone's made up their mind by the time it comes out hahah
I don't really care one way or another, but it's interesting how far just some extra space between the eyes gets you:

One of the most tragic parts of this story is that it's left throngs of artists and designers with massive gaps in their portfolios — work both old and new, sometimes years in the making, that can't be shown to prospective employers, even if it was probably discarded by now

It's really starting to feel like the most stable version of working in one industry is being a freelancer.
Company's are laying off whole teams at any second without notice.

At least with freelance, you know when you won't be working...

Really dragging the tires through the mud this Monday, so I opted to spend my lunch on a quick render to jumpstart that creative feeling.

Let's start the week out right with a free 3D model of a railroad crossing and tracks. Link in bio or head to The Pixel Lab. Enjoy!

Been playing with Google’s Gemini #AI. I have been really impressed with its ability to lull humanity into a false sense of security about the singularity.

Little trick of the trade for those new to making tutorials:
You can only say "let's go ahead and jump right in" AFTER you've rambled through a 10 minute intro.
