Version 0.2 of my handheld photogrammetry rig for my GFX100 is almost done! Just gotta take the plunge of like $2500 NZD to get the 3 AD200Pro IIs. Tax refund season soon!

It uses a mix of Small Rig which i love, and a new contenter called Camvate for the big handled rig, micro bars and coldshoes.

Hi, I've been an indie dev for 20 years and shipped 15 games. Here's a GDC talk I did in 2016 that was quite popular. It was about indie sustainability and I'm still here, so that's good :-)

Award season has started!

Between this and Betterman coming out, it's nice to see things worked on as a fully fledged TD come out and be liked.

Fab account created a verified.

Means I’ll need to actually finish my vfx tagging, barcode and library system sometime soon so I can start sharing things instead of terabytes of 102mp images just sitting in archive waiting to be processed.

A nice reminder that sharing stuff on social media can make neat things happen sometimes.

Jumping back into #Postgres from a cutting edge database solution really does feel like coming home. Navicat, pgAdmin, dbVisualiser, schemaSpy, appsmith not needing middleware for prototyping. And ULIDs for IDs! Only bug bear is third party tools never parsing inherits for data modelling.

Hmmm! More accessible alternatives, and potential competitors to the meta human pipeline (with more than 2 arbitrary body weights) the better!

Yeah I agree, we do need bookmarks.

I currently use likes to bookmark posts but a searchable bookmarks folder (with categories!) would be better.
WE NEED BOOKMARKS.

I think I’m going to swap again back to #postgres . I gave #surrealDB a good shot and it’s helped me understand some new concepts but the overhead for what I need just for my basic crud vfx library has pushed me back a ton in between 60 hour weeks at work. Being able to use ULIDs or UUID7s again!
