Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

The WORLD WIDE WEB was invented in Switzerland (by a Brit), the INTERNET was not invented there.

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

This film is GLORIOUS
The bagels consistently turn out good these days, but this made me rethink my entire operation. Check out the guy's hand-rolling technique at the 3-mn mark.
It was apparently filmed in Brooklyn in 1979. Five years later I had my first card-punching job at Moishe's Bagels on Clark St in Bklyn Hghts.

It's an any% speedrun of our GPU-driven rendering, shadows, global illumination, water, and DoF, involving a few weird tricks.

I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my #procedural animation to hand-authored animations on some models I bought. This is so I can better study what I need to improve.
When I got my comparison tool running for the first time, this is what I was greeted with! Step-height glitch I think. 😅
