You can also just buy the food at airport restaurants. I've seen people grab Whataburger at the airport and eat it in the plane. It's not the most convenient, but it's doable.

I've been busy with a few things! YouTube video by Minty Root

Well here's a blast from the past. My first pony animation setup.

The internet is a place.

My animation school is now giving courses on AI.
I'm so f*cking tired man ...

There's a first for everything.

You started HRT before the release of the Nintendo 64.

I don't know how to process with that information.

I noticed that for the commissions I've been getting recently, the artists have been drawing my character with bigger breasts than usual.
That also sounds like a recession indication.

Seems like I'll be able to wrap another scene from my project this week. Given how I wrapped another one on Monday, this isn't too bad overall.

The saying in the industry is "Make it work", so I doubt they'll delay the release.
Black Panther is the most extreme case I've seen of last minute reshoots from them.

Disney has been outsourcing a LOT of their VFX, that's how I ended up working for them in the first place.
Getting rid of internal development is a weird decision, that will probably make it even more of a production mess for the outsourced teams.

You're sure?

And proof of how most people could be perfectly fine with a hatchback or a sedan.

It's Link and Rosalina!

I do find it funny that this runs in real time now, but eats a crazy amount of RAM.
OPTIMIZATION.

My best guess is that they're aiming for a social event because IRL butts in theater seats might be more convincing to distributors than just numbers of clicks.

This whole setup requires to render 16K plates at a few different angles, and in total should take about 16 hours to render.
It sounds like a lot, but the 26 seconds that required the original model would have taken 80 hours to render with no flicker.

She stole Trixie's hoodie, such a girlfriend thing to do.

And here's the first attempt. This is a fully raytraced scene, but projected on geometry and the ground runs a separate screen space reflection pass.
Memory usage is pretty high, but the thing runs in realtime.

I will note this down.

It didn't help that all they could come up with was a VR version of a Zoom meeting.
Even normies won't find it appealing.

Always love when artists draw genderbent Rarity with big long hair. It just feels right.

Closed interiors are more annoying to render than open ones since every ray will bounce multiple times before hitting a light source.
This one is even more annoying because it's a lot of specular reflections, for a long sequence, and it's set inside.

So I'm dealing with a scene that gives me rendering problems, I'm gonna have to rely on a weird optimization technique I haven't used since The Beginning of Harmony.
Stay tuned.
