NGL I literally /just/ remembered Villeneuve also directed 2049 when you said that. I knew I stopped more or less caring about about directors at some point, but damn. Apparently he and I are just right on the same wavelength.

And aw, that's a shame, the monochromatic look is one of my favorite things about the trailer, absolutely pitch perfect for the movie it looks like they're making (again, not a damn solitary clue about Dune beyond this trailer.)

Helen Arney, Matt Parker and Steve Mould, otherwise known as Festival Of The Spoken Nerd (Highly recommend their lives shows and individual youtubes btw, links for anyone that might not already know about them later), also used to (pre-covid) run a small live show called An Evening Of Unnecessary Detail where they would do little mini talks and invite other nerd-y people in to talk about some random bit of fun nerdery they're passionate about in a slightly unnecessary amount of detail. Well, now they've decided to take that concept and turn it into a podcast. And if you're already a fan of Matt, Steve or Helen, it'll fit right in, if you're not, you will be.

There's 4 episodes so far, with more to come for the first season.

Also, Matt has /another/ podcast, with comedian Bec Hill where they try to answer random nerdy questions, I've only had the chance to listen to one episode so far, but I mean, it's Matt and Bec, it's gonna be great.

Today in visions from another reality:

What a trip.

Cave Puppet Films (Rob Jacobsen's production company; Rob and I made Skinner and a few other projects over the years, for reference) just publicly released their latest short film Tessellate (after doing the festival rounds) that I did a few bits and bobs of VFX on. Primarily the handheld tablet UI.

RIGHT?! Of all the things I was expecting to happen once he started, it wasn't that. It's incredible.

If I'm reading the bio on their website right, they're a group of Danish travelling musicians living/working in New York.

How To be A Megastar Live has the distinction of being one of the few albums I actually really like the live version of and will actively seek out to listen to, there's just something about the energy of the crowd that works so well with BMG (and vice versa) in a way I just find exceptionally annoying with other bands.

I have exactly zero technical knowledge to add to this, but I can recommend a few channels for techniques/inspiration:

The Broken Nerd, he has a channel with a few full 3D printed builds and walkthroughs of the process of taking printed parts and cleaning them up/finishing them.

Right now he's building this ridiculous thing:

And obviously, for the more finishing and working with 3D prints to make a finished thing side of things, Adam's One Day Builds are always a go-to recommendation:

Punished Props: Bill is known for making props and cosplay out of foam, but every once in a while he'll dip into working with 3D prints, and probably of specific interest to you, he has a series making a whole Tank Trooper helmet on a small cheap printer:

Lightning Cosplay is another great channel I came across not too long ago, she does a lot of armour and cosplay using some 3D printed pieces (And a lot of sculpting/mold making, so ymmv) and walks through the process of preparing and using them.

Not really much in the way of instruction, I just think it's neat, Sophy Wong has been experimenting with 3D printing textile-like materials to make a 3D printed dress (Along with a bunch of other projects), and it's just rad: https://www.instagram.com/sophywongmakes/

Also not really instructional, but cool as hell: Lumecluster:

Her stuff just blows my mind:

babi.

(*Finding a way to do the soil was a bastard and a half, I'll tell ya what.)
(**Final product will only ever be seen at maaaaybe 1/3rd this size at the most, so hence some of the sloppiness this close up)

(***Yes the whole thing is completely rigged, and I am extremely excited to finally get to animate it this weekend)

...gotta say dude, I usually don't have a clue what you're on about, but I REALLY don't a have a clue what you're on about this time.

Babish was nothing but complimentary in his half a sentence mention of Townsend.

@Trey: Oooo, I really like the built in porch and overhead design. Very spiffy.

@Ben: KITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYY!

(was there something about a lens?... I feel like there was something about a lKIIIITTTY!!!)

Feels a hell of a lot longer than 2 weeks since I posted the growing flower wow, but digging back into Innervate with one of the shots that growing flower is for:

(Probably hovering around a 50/50 mix of practical/CG vegetation here.)
