Got to see my name in the credits tonight for "Dogman." The writers always do a great job with the comedy. Some great themes and jokes adults can appreciate.

Ahh Blender is pulling a Nuke! They merged a new feature for the compositor: you can auto-create viewers and toggle between them using the number keys. Thanks to Habib for making this PR.

Someone was praising Mastodon, I'll share my similar praises.
Mastodon isn't perfect. But I love that it's completely free to use (but please donate to support admins!), public, based on an open source protocol and community, no trackers/ads, and an amazing PWA to boot.
Also, I'm happy to say this has been the best platform for me when it comes to discovery, followers, boosts, and managing my feed, ie filtering out anything I'm not interested in. Thanks Mastodon.

Lots of my inspiration, for example, comes from movies, such as:
I'd love to hear some of your inspirations!

[#]SundayThoughts on inspiration. One of my blessings (and curses) is I never have an empty backlog; I have tons of tasks and inspirations to act on. But I can attest to "returning to your roots" when you feel lost or bored.
Don't feel the need to label yourself or your #art too quickly. Gain some experience, just make some things for a while. Over time, you'll get a growing sense of what you want to make. And that niche can flow with time. That's just us humans growing and changing.

POV: you just worked on a shader all day, trying to figure out one particularly nasty bug, and finally -- finally -- you got it to work. #indiegamedev #godot #meme

I'm looking into getting a new desk. Ideally an L-shaped one, or at least some sort of arc, so I can have my desktop on one side, laptop on the other. I'm figuring out a boom arm to put on the desk too, so I don't have to put the mic stand right in front of my chair 😅
If you have a similar desk that you'd recommend, or know of a good brand/store for these, I'd love to hear it.

[#]ProxyPlusAddon has a new release 0.5.0! Adds a new proxy convex hull operator, and a new parameter to apply rotation to proxy character rigs. Also works correctly with the "Reload Scripts" button (more for my development sanity 😅)

As @Kaiern figured out already, I now have a Ko-Fi! I don't plan to make exclusive content there as of yet, so it will act as a tipping jar for now.
If you have a Ko-Fi or something similar, feel free to reply with it so I can be sure to know where yours is too!

Ironically, Instagram's at least works. Features are minimal. If you're a lurker, it's perfect. But it would be a step down for any creators

I noticed #WhatsApp, despite having everything to be a PWA, blocks phones from the web messenger page (you can do "desktop mode" on your phone browser to workaround this). It doesn't load the page, just displays a notice to use the app or a desktop browser. Logging in via desktop browser requires the app for dual authentication -- not texts or calls.
Meta is actively against users using WhatsApp as a PWA on their phones. Ugh.

Some things that kept me sane through those months:

I finished my #Blender #Python scripting course, stay tuned for that this week. It's been a whirlwind of a few months. I initially juggled multiple projects, struggling to get one good video out for the course. Then finally hit a rhythm, worked and worked until it's done.
I'm a big believer in long-term projects every once in a while. Beginning artists should start with short projects, but having month- or even year-long projects are a good exercise in patience and focus.

I like that many of my add-ons and videos are freely available. I avoid making things paid unless it's a massive undertaking like #nViewAddon. But now, it's not one product takes all my time, but lots of smaller stuff.
So in a way, subscription makes sense for that, but then it becomes a matter of marketing stuff I can't fully share because it's behind a paywall. And you also have to retract from other platforms to further incentivize others to reach you on your paid platform. /2

I've been consolidating my online presence, to control my data as well as my time. I recently left a few sites because of that.
For a few months now, I've looked into ways people could financially support me: my #Blender add-ons, art, #YouTube videos, all outside my actual job. Apart from just posting my PayPal, that means joining yet another platform, with the implicit obligation of creating exclusive paid-only content ON TOP OF stuff I share freely, otherwise why ask for subscribers? /1

I don't often ask for donations, but in this case it's not for me: https://ko-fi.com/sysinacgi
She's a #Blender artist that's created one of the most wholesome communities I've ever seen and been a part of on Discord. She only has a low-level laptop, and sadly this donation goal to upgrade it has been up for a while now.
You don't need a Ko-Fi account to donate. I just donated without one. Any others would be appreciated. She's not asking me to do this.
