Tomorrow night (11/05/2025 at 6pm EST), we're going to have Kate Xagoraris as a guest. She's worked on a couple of really interesting HDA toolkits for star catalogs and proteins. It should be a great chat with a lot of science nerdiness!

Tonight (7/16/2025 at 6pm EDT) I'm going to try to make some abstract cloth inspired by Ariel Ting Wei Lu. Check out her amazing website here: ariellu.com/google-d.... Not sure how it will turn out, but it should be fun regardless!

Tomorrow night (6/4 at 6pm EDT) we're going to be joined by Tom Goffelli (aka WaffleBoyTom). He's going to walk through the basics of using APEX outside of the current rigging/animation tools. This should be a bit of a continuation of his awesome talk at FMX. See you then!

Tonight (3/26/25 at 6pm EDT), I'm going to make a few different examples of how to create a kinetic wind sculpture. I'm referencing a video that my co-worker sent me. I'm going to try to make a few versions: purely procedural, driven by a pyro sim, and possibly a dynamic version.
