  Of all the times to test farm-based caching, the animator chose the exact moment I am waiting on their publish! What could possibly go wrong? Oh. Everything. Apparently. #Animation #PipelineLife

  The attention economy is being 'split' more and more!!! The anim industry seems to be in a real funk at the moment. I am guessing studios/netflix types are not commisioning new shows coz they are seeing declining views. Everyone is competing for your eyes, and they loosing out to tiktok, youtube, etc. #animation #animationIndustry

  Bioware closing down is another massive loss. Its never good to see game or animation studios shutting down. Its just bad for the whole industry. Artists out of work!

  On Android #firefox is there a setting that I can enable to show the domain/website addeess of a page I have 'Added to Homescreen'? It always used to just show, but now they hiding it (i guess to make it feel like an app) but I want to find out the address of one of my 'shortcuts' 🤔

  I see #google continues to be pretty shit! I guess this is them thinking #AI is gonna make our lives better. 1) You throw an error and give me an error code with a link 2) I open the link, and the error code is included (see the last digits) 3) You ask me 'how can we help?' You have the error code in the link, just do the thing, take me to the page. So what must I now copy the code into the box for you?

  I hate to say it... but #lightcraft is actually pretty good. Yes it has some bugs here and there, and its rotation tool aint great. That said though, its denoise & colour controls are far superior to #RawTherapee & #Darktable. This might become my new go too over #ART the rawtherapee fork.

  Are there any 32bit #linux distro's still getting any love & secuirty updates? I guess its not only about distro's but is the software to run on it even still available. 🤔

  Exciting to see the BBC talking about a little project we've been working on :) https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2026/bbc-childrens-and-education-animation-with-ignite Hana’s Magic World reflects what we value at Triggerfish, championing new directors and bold, meaningful storytelling. It’s imaginative, original and full of authentic representation, with deaf characters and sign language at its heart #Animation #3DAnimation

  On Sunday 2026/07/05 Meta AI messaged me to brag how good it was... but wow it could not even get the date right! Sigh Its seemingly obsessed with it being 2026/04/29. Even yesterday (2026/07/06) when I told it that it was Christmas Day 2027 🤣 Meanwhile this: https://isaiprofitable.com/ #AI #MetaAI

  Netflix thinking season 2's are not gaining traction... and always reference beef! Seriously beef s2 was just terrible compared to season 1. Its not that 2nd seasons are the problem its that the show became a season of White Lotus not beef. Just as the 'beef' was ramping up they dropped it for some other rando drama! Stay on target, dont go change the whole show! #Netflix #NetflixFail

  My morning task: ‘Support the team.’ My real task: ‘Find out why nothing is working, then light a fire under the people who shoulda been doing this without me chasing them.’ 😅

  The maya-usd plugin really needs some simple tweaks. I guess I should go make some issues on the github, for example dont load the entire usd when creating a stage from file, only load/stream the data needed. Currently when you load a usd it will default to proxy purpose, but still load all the render purpose data along with textures even though it cant display those shaders in the viewport. It should only stream render data in if I switch to that purpose. #OpenUSD #MayaUSD #maya-usd

  Is there a simple way to create a privacy respecting ai agent that will run locally, without having to give it full access to my machine? I just want to point it at a single websites api (via python) in read only mode and ask it to start giving me insights into the data! ZeroClaw via Ollama perhaps? #AI #AIAgents

  Why not just make it like nuke or bifrost where copy & paste effectively converts the nodes to ascii 🤭 So simple and being able to share node setups over IM is awesome! This appears to get #blender closer 💪 https://www.blendernation.com/2026/04/02/share-blender-node-trees-as-hash-json-or-xml-with-the-node-runner-add-on/

  Exploring #VATs more and more these days. Wrote my own #OSL shader for #Arnold so we can actually utilise them directly in the render engine itself. I am excited to stress test it more, and see how reliable they are!

  Just playing with the frei0r gyroflow-plugin inside of @kdenlive but unfortunately it doesnt seem to work properly. Appears to scramble the video... hopefully the OpenFX version works when Kdenlive gets that merged 🤞💪☺️

  Has dev on #pixelfed stalled? Feels like nothing has changed or improved over the last few years 🤔
