Look animation is the bane of modern financialization. Its slow, expensive, and requires specialized knowledge. Its also always popular. They can’t help but try to destroy it along the way. But it never dies.

Hey yo ! ✨
I'm looking for some animators to test out my horse rig !
(if you're also up to make me a canter/trot/anything cycle for my demo, I'd be very grateful. Of course, in exchange you'll be able to use it in your demo as well !)

Proper joint placement and orientation is essential to good rigging. My joint guide system uses poly planes to help streamline this process, a relatively simple feature. These pieces of geometry are attached to each joint, stretch with their length and can be scaled up independently #rigtip

Watched this Suno AI techbro interview. Head like a hole. I feel like we need to frame AI art (Visual arts, film, writing, music) in economic terms.
AI is to art what printing money is to the economy. It just devalues everything to the point of nothing. The cultural Zimbabwean dollar.
