Realized I was taking a lot of misc project photos with my phone, so I've been keeping a camera body with macro lens just lying around.

Resulting photos of a dye job on some tiny fpv drone frames and canopies. Turns out it's surprisingly easy to do!

Oy! Are you importing FBX files into #blender? I have a new (WIP) FBX importer that would appreciate some testing. Blender forum thread: devtalk.blender.org/t/new-fbx-im... and PR with details: projects.blender.org/blender/blen... and builds to download: builder.blender.org/download/pat...
New FBX importer: Feedback and discussion
I’ve been working on new FBX importer (written in C++, based on ufbx library). While it “seems to work” on some files I tried it on, it would be great to get others to test it, and/or provide feedback...

Uh pretty chill I guess

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues.

Ended up re-buying a 360 camera I lost coming back from the Maldives/Abu Dhabi trip. No regrets--took three photos with it on the trail today, found neat projections in all three

Headed to GDC this year!

I know I've been hard to get a hold of over the last few years (especially via email--sorry!), so very much looking forward to reconnecting with folks

I get in midday Monday and leave late Thursday. Might just have an expo pass, but around for hangs at least

(Literally) dusted off the pen plotter. This will be a 4-color plot, with no pickups aside from pen changes

I have a dedicated plotter VM, which now lives on a different host, but is otherwise unchanged. Pastthew even wrote logic to ping house text-to-speech when pen change needed!

In my photo circles, there was always mild scorn towards gear-motivated people. But at least for me, a big challenge of creative output is motivation, and "guilty because I bought new gear I'm not using" is an easy lever to pull.

Anyway here's Toronto as seen by a recent eBay purchase:

My Spotify wrapped 2024:

222,914 minutes (~10.2 hours/day)
8,504 artists

This is all into my ears, and I do also listen to soundcloud/mixcloud/youtube/mp3s

I've always wondered why Spotify doesn't let artists choose between existing rates or a *much* higher royalty but no discovery injection...

I've actually been lurking for awhile, wandering around the main discover feed.

It feels like Bluesky has reached critical mass--people started finding and following me! So I suppose I should post something, but what?

Maybe these 360 photos from a September trip to the Maldives:
