I post more personal thoughts under #SundayThoughts
Note: most of my posts auto-delete after a couple weeks. That is normal. If you really want me to save a post for posterity, let me know :)
#SundayThoughts found #3GoodThings hashtag, want to try it out:
Programmed my first script in #Rust a couple days ago. My thoughts:
- ranges are cool
- non-mutable typed variables by default is VERY cool
- importing seems weird but I'll figure it out
- labeling loops for `continue`s and `break`s is VERY cool
- having single quotes mean characters and double quotes mean strings will take some getting used to, again
- types in shorthand (e.g. `i64`) is nice for typing, hard for reading
- why the heck does `println!` have an exclamation point?
Edit: closed, I got plenty of responses, thank you fediverse!
Any graphic designers focused on #typography here? I'm wanting to convert/remaster one of my old logos, expand it into a (partial) font I could use for videos. I have the tools, but not the time or experience to know what needs fixing.
If you're interested and have created/edited fonts before, DM me your related portfolio and we can talk. If you know someone who may be interested, please boost. #GraphicDesign #font #FontForge #logo
My blog, "Beyond the Horizon," is now up! It's a migration of my Beehiiv newsletter (which never really acted as one, just personal thoughts/reflections) but it's got all the bells and whistles. Light and dark themes, RSS feed visible on the site (*cough* Beehiiv), and a lightweight client-side search engine.
It also comes with my latest post, thoughts on "Guilt from Not Being Productive Enough". Read it now:
Oh hello there. Didn't expect this kind of Easter Egg, but I love it. #Bioshock #Bioshock2
The roadmap items I'm particularly looking forward to:
- Project Setup (variables set across .blend files)
- Dynamic Overrides (easier linked .blend file management)
- Collection Import ("import" an FBX/USD file that auto-updates if the file changes!)
- Ripple editing and compositor modifier for VSE
- Loop Tools natively in Blender!
- Multi-stage and per-sample compositing
...I guess that's like most of them 😄 still excited #b3d #Blender3d
@BlenderStudio@mastodon.social , just wanted to let you know my wife hopes to buy plush animals of all the "Singularity" critters. In her words, "they're too cute." Great work on the short.
#SundayThoughts happy Memorial Day. Nothing quite as sobering as when I visited the cemetery at Pensacola naval base. Or the memorials in Hawaii, both Pearl Harbor's and Lady Colombia's.
To the soldiers who never came back. To the mothers and fathers and children who opened the door to hear a stranger bearing sad news. For every battle that was also a loss.
