It's about time I call this personal piece done. I'm happy with my workflow for getting VR drawings to receive light, so now it's time to finish tutorials and resources so you can play with this too! #VRartist #AnimVR #GravitySketch #OculusRift #SpatialArt #VirtualProduction

Painting a campfire in VR! Yes, I’ve added a drawn animation toolset to Aniimate & a few other new tools. It’s gettin’ hot in herre! 🔥 #Aniimate #VR #animation #indiedev

Gotta say, it's tons of fun. And it's easy to keep just the poses you want and discard the rest, so this can become starting poses for animation you polish, either in VR or on a desktop PC. What a time to be alive! #aniimate
One of my favorite features in #aniimate: Puppeteering. Just grab something and press play. It records all your movements. And so much more to come! If this excites you, give it a share so word gets around. #animation #puppeteer #performancecapture

#aniimate has a TIMELINE! Baby steps, my friends. Baby steps. It has the same ephemeral feel as the rig ui: it stays out of your way until you want it. Follow for more progress updates like this. #animation #unity #uiux

This is a feature I've wanted in 3D animation apps for so many years, so I decided to prototype it for Aniimate. Also, follow @aniimateApp for more!
Proximity Visibility: only show me the rig controls near my cursor. And it's delightful in VR, too! #aniimate #animation #rigging #unity #vr

Take a peek at Aniimate, an animation app I'm building as a personal project, and eventually your favorite new way to animate in 3D! I've wanted to play around with this for years, but not being able to code has been a blocker…until Claude Code. #Unity #Blender #ClaudeAI

Experimenting with animated projection this year. This was a blast! I may build this out into a bigger project for next year...what do you think? ... #blender #halloween #pumpkin #projection #3dart #b3d #jackolantern #animation #illusionoflife #bts #behindthescenes

I absolutely love animating in Blender...but I'm absolutely not loving the changes to the pose library in 4.5 I've spent the last 2 hours figuring out how to move poses to a new category, and the answer is I need to rebuild the whole thing. Such a downgrade 😔 #b3d #animation3d

🔒Has anyone here been locked out of their Meta/Facebook acct because someone created an Instagram with your credentials and that hacked account has been suspended? I've tried for a few weeks now to find a solution, but it seems the only way is to have access to this other acct..

...and of course because I didn't make that acct, I can't log in to contest it. Seems there's no way to log into Facebook and no one to contact. It's a shame to lose access to pics and videos on FB & have to buy all my VR apps/games again. Ideas?

We've certainly crossed a threshold here. 3-4 years ago this tweet would have replaced the words Maya and Arnold with Blender and Cycles. 🤯
I know it's popular to hate on Maya, but once you get over the initial clunkiness, it's actually crazy how good this software is. It's insanely feature rich, has amazing modeling tools (yes actually), top notch rendering with Arnold, and is can be customized unlike anything else

Heard of the Horsehead Nebula? I present the Blenderhead Nebula! I've been going through the excellent nebula tutorial series by @ShrimpCreative and highly recommend it! #nebula #spaceart #b3d #blender3d

So I’ve been doing this animation thing professionally for 20 years now. I’m sure some things are different for younger animators & a lot is still the same. What’s it like for animators starting out now? What challenges or confusing things are you facing? How can I help?

I sat down to make a procedural texture in Blender and ended up making a Brush Alpha Generator...so I've put it up for free on gumroad. Check it out! joedanimation.gumroad.com/l/… #b3d #brushes #blender #3dArt

Blender peeps: What's the best way to skin a mesh to a posed rig? Say I have high heels that I modeled with the leg posed up on the toes, but want to keep my existing bind pose where the feet are flat on the ground. #blender #b3d #rigging
