25 years in CG, its all been leading to this. @nomadsculpt.com and @morphinapp.bsky.social are to blame.

Now with sound! The head is now springy too. I could do this all day (but probably shouldn't, just rotating the hips in realtime, so much fun! Made in @morphinapp.bsky.social

Fun rigging test in the next build of @morphinapp.bsky.social . The tail and arms bones have spring constraints, just wiggle the hips, all this lovely motion comes for free.

strudel.cc has consumed my life, code based music in the browser. Follow the link, change code, make your own liquid drum and bass banger (unmute, obviously) : tinyurl.com/strudeldnb

I’ve been falling behind on the houdini posts. As compensation I offer you… a trex dancing to reggaeton.

Ah, maybe this in preferences?

sculpted in @nomadsculpt.com , rigged and animated in @morphinapp.bsky.social .

Cool to see all the sculpts I've done in the last few years back to back, I could almost fool people that I'm a 3d artist...

BoC makes anything better, even a simple jump cycle. testing keyframing the camera, slowmo, ik, post processing. The only keyframes here are position keys on the pelvis, pretty neat. #morphin @morphinapp.bsky.social

Morphin just hit v1.7, there’s updates to mocap recording, IK, keyframe nudging, few other things. Had a go at copying a trashcan anim someone mentioned in discord, this is layering recordings for lid, body, mouth, eyes.

...and that same luchador rigged and animated in Morphin. Still amazed I can do all this on an ipad! Go get the app, its cool: @morphinapp.bsky.social

timelapse of a luchador sculpt i did in @nomadsculpt.com on the flight home.

testing the anim recording features in a upcoming build of @morphinapp.bsky.social . Added fbik to the legs, then puppeteered the body position, then the feet, then keyframed the body rotation. mouse recording has never worked for me in maya or houdini, fun to see it work on an ipad. :)

Quick runthrough of latest @morphinapp.bsky.social features; bone draw mode and opacity, additive animation clips, bone and blendshape animation, spherical gradient/linear gradient/paintbrush for weights. $20USD for the holidays, release date announced after it passes app store review!

Did a final sweep to the Apex notes, added images and videos. Now you can all be Apex experts, and point out everything I got wrong... tokeru.com/cgwiki/Houdi...

Modifying an Apex autorig component with Apexscript. If there's a cleaner way, let me know! tokeru.com/cgwiki/Houdi...

In case folk haven't seen this, check out my One Weird Trick for a Viral Post; take a couple of old concepts (ASAD fisheye code, cops renderer, uvquickshade), wrap it up in new cops, mention the vegas sphere, bam. (hip and explainer in the link) tokeru.com/cgwiki/Houdi...
