Analog heart, Digital mind. Co-Founder @gruntWAVE. I like my cars loud, my music 80s, and my Bounding Boxes tight—Stealers & production life since ‘82.

[Shawn Steiner | gruntWAVE | Grunt Work Eliminator @ShawnSHDRI]

I fed a broken 3d vehicle asset to "Industry Standard" algorithms.

Spoiler: It was a bloodbath. 🩸

We got a car tilted like a "drunk satellite" and another trying to launch into orbit.

Manual fixes are over. OA Pro is here.

🚨 93rd Golden Ticket snatched out of 100 and our 81st Blender User! The next 7 get OA Pro FREE forever using code: IMEARLY1

📷Yo, 3D modelers, CG Supes, TD Pipeline wizards, and Env Artists buried in grunt hell: Tired of babysitting TurboSquid orphans?

You know the drill—downloading a "premium" asset that's rotated like a drunk squirrel, origin at (∞, WTF, -∞), bounding box the size of a small planet, and format wars turning your pipeline into a battlefield? Hours wasted pivoting to (0,0,0), boxing like a pro wrestler, and converting from .fbx to .obj to .blend while Blender crashes harder than your dreams?

Unity rejecting imports like a bad Tinder swipe? Unreal Engine laughing at your Omniverse exports? Enter OA Pro: Instant normalization to world (0,0,0) with a bounding box so tight it'd make Houdini jealous.

Imports ANY DCC format, processes that 3Dsky/TurboSquid mess in seconds, exports to ANY DCC format. Windows, MacOS, Linux—all supported, no OS gatekeeping. OA Alpha? FREE for all you masochists to test-drive.

No more "just one more pivot" marathons.

Blender fam, this is your Bat-Signal. Omniverse, Unity, Unreal crews—your turn to ditch the tedium.

Who's claiming #94? 📷 Download OA Pro: https://t.co/vc6nBfu4ib

That code for the FREE forever is: IMEARLY1

@FathomDotVideo is a great new app for anyone like myself who’s on a lot of @Zoom @GoogleMeet2 @MicrosoftTeams meetings. It's easy to use and enjoy the options during a meeting to mark areas of the conversation, similar to tagging. I've used the others and have decided that Fathom is my choice.
