If you’ve followed me on other platforms ( 🤢 ) you might know I’ve spent the last few years doing computational cinema / edit understanding.
I’m happy to say we’ve got the first public live narrative search engine for film and tv!
It’s early days. But check it out!

New: I recreated Tomas Wright’s 1742 astronomical treatise, Clavis Cælestis, and its accompanying sheets titled A Synopsis of the Universe. New posters are available in antique style and modern colors.

I wrote a little primer on rigid body dynamics in Houdini after seeing a lot of similar questions online. Bullet is a pretty deep rabbit hole to fall into and there's a lot of legacy stuff that's very confusing for new artists... hopefully this helps you get started!

Reminder to creatives (or anyone, really):
If someone reaches out because they want to interview you, and they are asking you to download a specific app to conduct the interview, it is probably a scam.
I have had 3 attempts since January 2025.
Do your research and check credentials.

It is the 4 year anniversary of the first run of Meander river prints.
It remains my favorite project to date (actually, maybe its a tie between this and the Planetary iPad app from 2011 roberthodgin.com/project/plan... ... okay maybe a 3-way tie with Magnetosphere)

Some BTS from the moss lantern series.
The toro forms adhered to the basic structure for this style of lantern, but then I exaggerated some of the features to make them feel a bit more otherworldly.

Moss R&D.
This started as an excuse to learn more about running Houdini from the command line. I am able to provide a string as an input parameter, and the Houdini project will create the 3D letters and drop them onto the ground and let them settle, then the moss sim kicks in and weatherizes them.

Bought a new MacBook. Set it up. Reboot it but password wouldn't work. Recovery Assistant didn't work. So now I'm reinstalling the OS. Is this what getting old feels like?
