iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I 100% agree. Sometimes it’s actually very good to have intent and not need to change every single step along the way!

I really must give Blender another shot. I've been learning Houdini (which admittedly feels like an insane choice at times!) and while it's a VERY steep learning curve there are so many supportive users & learning resources out there, it really feels fun to learn right now.

I do love 3ds max and I'm always surprised when I see that something very straightforward in it is so difficult in other DCCs but I'm guessing this is par for the course for everyone who switches apps at some point.

That's really interesting to hear. I think the lack of community & user enthusiasm is the main thing making me look elsewhere from max. I want people to be excited about new possibilities, not moaning about or fearing change!

If you don't mind me asking, how are you finding Blender?

God I miss Fred so much. I occasionally whisper his name into an empty jar of Pasta Bake Sauce… I hope he can hear me 🥲

Is it me, or does Michaelmas start earlier every year?

Maybe paying for YouTube premium has cut me off from any/all of the online promotion that might have reached me for it? I saw Coyote vs Acme but there was no trailer for this 😔

Madness. I have been to three animation festivals/events in the last month, some with talent from Dreamworks in attendance and still nothing! On the plus-side, I am now hellbent on watching it as soon as it comes out here.

This is genuinely the first I have seen or heard of this film’s existence and I LOVE animation! How is this possible!?!

Next time I've done a shit job of something, I'm just going to tell people it's too dangerous to show them. The PowerPoint that I threw together last minute could actually pose a risk to humanity at large

Our dog started freaking out when my PC beeped at startup. I couldn't figure out why then, one day, my machine randomly rebooted in the middle of work. I swore VERY loudly & she panicked & scrabbled in the exact same way. I had Pavlov'd her but with BIOS beeps & sudden, inexplicable anger 😩

I feel deep sympathy for her. I was on a first date and out of sheer panic I suddenly said “What’s your favourite folding instrument? Mine’s the accordion!” There was not a second date.

HOLY CRAP! "DUCKS" hit ONE MILLION views on YouTube today!? 🤯 Thank you to everyone who shared it, commented, told me they loved it/hated it/hate me for making it. It's really mind-blowing that someone I made sat at a desk can be seen by so many eyeballs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8vZ...
