Do you know what "rubber duck debugging (RDD)" is?

For those who work in a #vfx #pipeline #techArt (we really need a standard hashtag for TDs...), do you have a standardized framework for publishing?

It's Friday. Delete your Script Editor tabs.

#Maya #techArt #python

I wrote up some notes about programmatic selective pre-load in #Maya for handling opening a scene with lots of references when you only care about one or two.

Today was one of those days at work where it would have been easier if we could have made this GIF pop up on every artist's monitor. #VFX #Maya #techArt

This storage cage decorated with tech skeletons makes me smile.

1/ A resource I've used to grow as a #python developer is pyvideo.org, which hosts recordings of Python conference tasks.

There are thousands of talks about a wide array of subjects. This thread will be about the talks I feel have learned from.

Call for interventions for The 2nd European Culture and Technology
Lab+ Annual Conference

They "invite papers, panels, performances, workshop seminars, poster presentations, artistic submissions, artist talks, installations, and interventions that address the relationship between technology, care, and the (Neg) Anthropocene."

I'm Ryan, a VFX pipeline TD at Laika. Formerly a rigger. In my free time I do wood working. Before the pandemic I was into HEMA. Most of my posts are shitposts of various quality about VFX, Python, and Maya in particular.

I should do a series on cats vs technology. #comics #TechArt #TechDoodles #CatComics

quick #introduction post!!

i'm Denise, currently taking a short career break but usually a #ruby developer and eng manager. I have too many hobbies, including occasionally making art about tech or the tech industry.

I'm slowly migrating my web presence over to Mastodon, so I'll be reposting a lot of my old #TechArt and #comics!

P.S. The Shader Graph for this cel-shader, for anyone who wants to recreate something like this in Unity or Unreal.

(Took an evening to untangle and route the nodes sensibly, but it's readable!)

NOTE: In Unity at least, it needs an HLSL script to get lighting info from the scene, but you can exclude it and use the light color/direction overrides instead. Could def. be simplified too, but I wanted to make a flexible master on the first pass, and optimize it later!

Video preview of the will-o'-the-wisp particles and stylized materials applied to the ground. Work in progress! :blobcat_sip:

Sorry for the poor quality of the video :blobcatroll:

I want to show a new tool I am working on. It is intended to make animating short, looping, repetitive motions very quickly in editor using IK with procedural variant blending.

Putting it to the test in a short game project. It has been really fun and useful.
