The last thing I did on RWBY was make guideline for crowds in scenes. I dont know if it gained much traction, because I soon moved to Japan. But people keep asking for the pdf, so I'm just going to share it online

Nobody in the tortilla industry has the balls to make a corn tortilla the size of a flour tortilla

@Octopimp it was all me

[🍊Austin Hardwicke 🍊chompotron.bsky.social @chompotron]

You shouldn't. The smaug mocap data was borderline useless

I get like smaug with cumberbatch but

that's a cube

A week ago, my friend and I were talking about this weird part of the Kojima Productions job application, "List one of the latest technology trends related to your job that has attracted your attention. Also, state the reason for this briefly."
Now I get it

[Eurogamer @eurogamer]

Hideo Kojima and Nicolas Winding Refn have teamed up for a Prada mode event teaser exploring "new creative possibilities through AI technology"

Almost done with the manga pants #trigun

@juuditbm This is the correct answer

[Harry Partridge @HappyHarryToons]

@CAFFSTRINK Williams wasn't doing all his own clean-up/inbetweens/colouring. I would strongly advocate for planning scenes without distraction, but when you're three hours deep on clicking bucket fills you can put some music on.

"Wait Octo, are you just making a very fancy pngtuber?"

Kind of but I'd like to think it's so much more

Happy Trigun wrap party! They gave me a gun

@G0ffThew Fun fact: about 10 of these studios were based out of Austin, and they all went under right when I entered the workforce

[🍊Austin Hardwicke 🍊chompotron.bsky.social @chompotron]

@ukukah nothing of value was lost

[🍊Austin Hardwicke 🍊chompotron.bsky.social @chompotron]

@ukukah it was me, and I was comparing witch hat to dbz

[🍊Austin Hardwicke 🍊chompotron.bsky.social @chompotron]

@ukukah I hate a totally different person in the show

You can recreate this yourself at home. Have a conversation with someone but don't allow your hands to touch anything, and stay a foot away from any wall. Hands out of your pockets. You know what happens? You stand like an actor recording bad mocap

[Harry @landof_suther]

@ThomasonTown As someone that did an entire dissertation using performance capture it IS so hard not to think about what to do with your hands if they aren’t occupied. Someone mentioned the abundance of pockets and that is very true. There is a “stand”.

[🍊Austin Hardwicke 🍊chompotron.bsky.social @chompotron]

A very common problem when mocapping action is that all the weapons are made of foam, and you move like it. Same with moving in spandex and pretending it's a three piece suit

[cal @contxtsonic]

@ThomasonTown I think the problem with indiana is the actors dont feel the weight of the clothes their characters are wearing and instead are moving around like they’re naked

[🍊Austin Hardwicke 🍊chompotron.bsky.social @chompotron]

This also contributes to the Sterile Room effect. The clothes moving weird adds on to uncanny valley

[Trash Panda @TrashyPandaFace]

@ThomasonTown I have no real experience in any of this but my two cents is it falls victim to what all game design falls victim to;the fact that IRL clothes have separate physics to the body underneath. But in games the whole form, body and clothes, move as one.
