Here's the current state of my roller coaster animation, with a mix of scenery and graybox, and at 1920x1080. Happy with my progress so far!
It really is so much easier animating in Cascadeur than Blender. On day 2 of learning the app and here's a relatively quick attempt at both animating from scratch, and mocapping/cleaning up a video. #gamedev #indiedev #animation

While sitting in bed, waiting for the medication to do it's work, I'd like to show you a fractal animation, I made with the free software
#Mandelbulb. I hope you love the beauty of math too 
btw, you can do this too 
The sound is borrowed from the Amiga

"#Flow was made entirely with #Blender and rendered with EEVEE. Each frame took from about 0.5 – 10 seconds to render in 4k. We didn’t use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders."
Nice to see some #frugalComputing in theatrical #3D #animation, intentional or not.

Fly to The Sky
Fly to The Other Side
Make everything that is said
Something that is worth sharing
Something that is worth hearing
Enjoy the process
Enjoy the Progress
The words, The Verbs
As these fly to the sky
beyond the realm of the pixels
as These Texts are soon to swivel

[P] How you look should never define who you are. The Lion King failed this most basic of tests, just as many modern stories do. The two should never be connected in any way, because that's just begging to invite some manner of subconscious bigotry. I see so many fall for this whether they're cognizant of it or not. It's why Robin Hood continues to be my favourite animated Disney film of the pre-Iger era: It does so much right!

[P] See, here's the thing about Robin Hood: There was no separation based upon looks. Both sides had light and dark fur; Both sides had scrawny, brawny, and portly body types! I want to point at this and aay, LOOK AT THIS. This is why I have issues with most things, because you'll separate those who look like X from those who look like Y and call them Good Guys and Bad Guys. A film from 1973 is doing better than you. Do pay attention.

[P] I dug TLK as a kid, until I started seeing more & more how problematic it was. Which was a shame as I love films that celebrate quadrupeds. I'll take Balto and Wolfwalkers over TLK though hands down nowadays. I even prefer the second film with Kovu over the first, it's still somewhat problematic but a marked improvement over the first. It has far more enjoyable character writing too, if I'm to be honest about it. I genuinely prefer it.
