Shiv in UE 5.8 to work with Livelink. Near real time, recorded with OBS. Create a set of FACS shapes as a pose asset match the MH ctrl_expression names, and pipe the MH curves through it. Very cool! #unrealengine5 #livelink #technicalanimation #metahumananimator #deadlock #opentowork

Wednesday triple Shiv! Final round of dog fooding, quite like how it turned out. Face is what I enjoy animating the most, endless possibilities for subtle layered movements. #animation #rigging #technicalanimation #deadlock #mgearframework

Felt I needed a better intro shot. So cut one together using existing anims. Reuse your assets folks! #animation #unreal #deadlockshiv

Rig management in viewport. Rig regions can be individually hidden or isolated. Isolating one region autohides other regions, and xray UI and PV controllers. Also proxy meshes. Feature built-in, no script install/setup for user. #rigging #technicalanimation #mgearframework

Dog fooding continues: Some minor skinweight fixes. Switched to Standard Shader. Hooked up outfit switch. Bashing some new feature. Getting closer with every new line in notepad++ #rigging #animation #deadlock #mgearframework

Funny how "I'll take a quick look" turns into "hours and hours in notepad++" Now that I know how to mirror the controls for cable component, I can simplify the face rig a bit. Less viewport clutter, less complexity. I'll take the win. #technicalanimation #mgearframework #rigging

Quite happy with how this face rig is turning out, especially the Nasal Labial Fold. Just have to wrap it up with post build scripts and default values. #animation #rigging #FACS #technicalanimation #mgearframework

keyojimbo.bsky.social @keyojimbo.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Nasal labial fold and Corrugator. Just a few additional bones and verts. Nose wrinkler can be handled similarly. #animation #rigging #FACS #technicalanimation

More dog-fooding, just blockout pass so far, but it's working better than I anticipated. #animation #technicalanimation #rigging

When rigging it's important to check your progress frequently using the Wiggle Test® #rigging #technicalanimation #maya

How do you animate wind? Noise node! Use it to drive rotation axis of the control, adjust Frequency; Frequency Ratio; Depth Max parameters etc. Animate Time attribute. If the rig doesn't have dynamics, bake the curve, paste and offset! #animation #thesixshooter #technicalanimation

How is the sauce made? Character is in place; ground is static; trees and tombstones scroll past the character; moon is small plane; big church and camera slide toward center. All smoke and mirrors... #animation #thesixshooter

Some highlights from 2025. An unexpected sabbatical year gave me time to advance my animation and technical animation skills. 2026 lets fuckin GO! #animationvsanimator #animation #technicalanimation

Gonna park it here for now. Maybe come back for some more mographic passes in the new year. #animation #thesixshooter #notoverwatch

With Critical Reflex being such a major player in the indie space, these accusations of covered up sexual harassment and unfair labour practices are all deeply disappointing and distressing. I hope this all gets tackled quickly and decisively. noisypixel.net/critical-ref...

Just a lay in, mainly to impress on my #animdiversity mentee the importance of using reference as a spring board rather than a close guide. Reference is collected, edited and reedited, timed and retimed, long before jumping in to Maya. #mentoring #animation

More musings from the Deity series. Always wanted to paint a sphinx of some sort but never have, they’ve always fascinated me. So why not make one for the series (or several actually). The anatomy was a fun design challenge, thanks for looking!

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...
