@chtkghk completely agree! i'm more frustrated by restricting youtube specifically and that they're planning to follow the australian model which hasn't worked
banning youtube of all sites bums me out on two levels
i've been on youtube since i was 13. it's the foundation of my career and most of the technical skills I still rely on. it's STILL the best free resource out there once you cut through the noise. the quality and volume of free tutorials has never been higher
also, i doubt they think it'll even work. its more likely an excuse to comfortably extend surveillance online
if the UKs apathy weren't so far gone it might have been worth pushing back on
The U.K. is moving ahead with a social media ban for children under 16.
If passed in parliament, the ban will go into effect by spring 2027. The platforms affected include Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X. https://t.co/xY6ZylhLxI
breakdown of my beam VFX for the new @meatcanyon short. we wanted to try a stylized jack kirby-like blast for the discord mod. the core was done in blender and finished in after effects
@FearMongrel i think itβs still important to know how to rig from scratch. it frees you up to create non humanoid armatures with confidence. i built a basic rig for a vehicle on this project!
I'm sad to see it go, but Smiling Friends got to stick the landing and end on a high. Not many shows get the chance. Even fewer shows open themselves up to the wider community of artists and embrace a mix of visual styles
I'm grateful to have contributed a few freakish characters and I'm buzzing for whatever's next π₯
