Oh you too?
These few last days have been rough for a lot of people.

Until then I'll stick with Blender 4.5 for the project.
5.0 has some nice new features but I already planned this whole project with the featureset of 4.5 in mind.

Stupid brain read it as "Drawn with tomboy pens".

I'm not fully sure what causes the issue, but my animation nodes setup has all indexes locked to 0, and I can't change them back.
It makes it unable to parse JSONs generated by Toon Boom, so the camera just stops working.

The moment I realized that my desktop had a Toslink connector, I jumped.

I was on the animation team all the way up in Montreal.
I still remember when we were handed previz sequences where they had a 3D rig of Mark Hamill in the scene to know the proper height and how to plan camera angles.
That's how I found out he'd be playing the live action role.

I remember finding that out during the production, and the rest of the team didn't seem to believe me at first.
I thought that was pretty clever.

Reasonable goals.

For context, the Google Pixel 6 HAS an ultrawide camera.
It's kind of a piece of shit with really bad color science, fixed focus and terrible low light performance, but it's a thing that exists.

Okay, I wanted to see if a Pixel 6 would still launch the camera app if the ultrawide camera wasn't plugged.

A Costco, without the poutine.
What a letdown.
