Some highlights from 2025. An unexpected sabbatical year gave me time to advance my animation and technical animation skills.

How do you animate wind?

Noise node! Use it to drive rotation axis of the control, adjust Frequency; Frequency Ratio; Depth Max parameters etc. Animate Time attribute.

If the rig doesn't have dynamics, bake the curve, paste and offset!

How is the sauce made?

Character is in place; ground is static; trees and tombstones scroll past the character; moon is small plane; big church and camera slide toward center.

All smoke and mirrors...

With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively.

Still much more to be done, and many more maya crashes, but making good and steady progress!

Just a lay in, mainly to impress on my #animdiversity mentee the importance of using reference as a spring board rather than a close guide.

Reference is collected, edited and reedited, timed and retimed, long before jumping in to Maya.

More musings from the Deity series. Always wanted to paint a sphinx of some sort but never have, they’ve always fascinated me. So why not make one for the series (or several actually). The anatomy was a fun design challenge, thanks for looking!

It's been a while.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

For the last two weeks my #animdiversity mentee and I worked on this short bouldering animation referencing Janja Garnbret. We took the time to really study the ref using primitives, making sure to build a solid foundation through blocking.

Hotkeys! I love hotkeys!

These hotkeys I use 97%+ of the time. I'll take hotkeys over tool windows anytime. Not that well designed tools are not good but for me they divert my attention from the viewport too frequently.
