Made this robotic arm for #hmp03. Simple SubD workflow and the rigging was basic parenting with object origins at the pivot/swivel points.

Today, I learned about BOMs (Byte Order Mark) while migrating a project from Databricks SQL to #MySQL 🙃
Long story short, now I know to perform a check with:
SELECT COLUMN_NAME, HEX(COLUMN_NAME)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = DATABASE() AND
TABLE_NAME = 'table_name';

Next project getting a refresh is the Maven Hospital challenge. Finished my first go with it some time ago. Learned a lot since then, and changed tools too, so I'm revisiting it as I update the portfolio entry. Project banner drawn in #GIMP

Introduced a second mutant selector dropdown for visual comparisons. Making that template a few weeks ago was the move. Time to put it all together in a project report.

Not another template, but my return to the #workinprogress X-Men Mutant Moneyball project from an old #TidyTuesday.
I used what I learned from making the radar chart template to apply here to make a mutant stats viewer driven by revenue/value.

If your Shiny app works with a mouse and looks fine on your screen, it may still be unusable for some users. Issues like missing alt text, ARIA misuse, or loose WCAG checks often surface too late. This Thursday’s free webinar shows how to catch them earlier.

Here's a sunburst chart template using #ECharts4r 's e_sunbust() function. Some extra tweaking in the tooltip using #JavaScript producest a compact and easy-to-follow presentation for a smooth and visually-interesting experience within #Quarto documents.

The radar/spider chart is the latest entry in the #ECharts4R #Quarto templates series. For more control/interactivity, I introduved a dropdown menu via #HTML and additional #JavaScript.

There's quite a variety of bullet charts out there, but it's not a function found in #ECharts4R. I created these two templates to demonstrate the different ways they can highlight performance.

Making candlestick charts was relatively straighforward. Got to borrow the chart linging method from my other template. The most challenging part was the tooltip because it was javascript-heavy. Great result though.

Adding more detail in calendar charts through #echarts4r took some mixing and matching using different examples on the #ECharts site. I like being able to see the day numbers and using the piecewise legend bin. The #quarto template is in my growing respository

Creases are changing my life. It's so silly because I always associated them with the current workflow combining them with the remesh mod. My old PC can't even do it with smaller simpler pieces, so I stuck with SUBD via support loops. This is a lot quicker and here to stay.
