I thought I was the only one! It’s infuriating that the actual definition is almost the opposite of the usual use. Maybe we need to invent a new word for “unfazed and on the edge of bored”

Do you mean Mario Wonder is an example of it looking not so good? If so I agree… what looks and feels do you like better? It seems like water can act in infinitely different ways.

I’m building out a bunch of water vfx atm…do you have any example real or otherwise of what you are thinking?

Ah yeah…if you’re not animating you can ignore a lot of that stuff :) best of luck on the project I’ve been enjoying watching your work

Almost forgot…this is a great one to watch before setting up your rig youtu.be/ws8oWmBbo_s?...

Have you seen the whole “when you hate the world get something to eat…hate yourself take a shower thing?” It’s simple but a great through line for me. From someone in an intense production loop atm hang in there, nothing wrong with you and we can do hard things💪❤️

My take at the moment is that all the new shiny tech is great but it won’t play nicely in the playground. It’s been a big time saver for me to just use the new tools as reference and key frame in blender with a clear/clean export to Unity.

Having a totally separate control rig works well in blender and exports pretty well to cascadeur but I’ve found it super frustrating to key animations in blender, bake to the control rig and then export to the engine.

So far, I like using a rigify metarig for easy initial setup. Add any custom bones. Including a non-deforming control rig inside the metarig seems to work best for exporting to engine but not cascadeur and rokoko. I’ve settled on importing mocap and ai assist anim as 3D ref to my blender/engine rig

Pierrick is more aligned to blender for film but he has a decent amount of engine info and CGDive is all about blender to engine…he really likes rigidly which I am not totally sold on. I’m currently trying to perfect a pipeline that keyframes in blender can easily work with Cascadeur/Rokoko/engine

The two best all around (that I’ve used) are CGdive and Pierrick Picaut on YouTube. Specifcally: youtube.com/playlist?lis... and youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Are you going to rig in Blender? I can point you to some good resources if you’re interested…rigged 2 characters in the last week :)

I was halfway through an intense sculpting project this weekend when I got stomach flu…2 days of fever dreams of smooth brush and verts getting stuck inside the hull.

You don’t know me but you have my axe
