Bought myself my first (and probably last) apartment which I’m still in the process of setting up. It should be a nice little creative space for me to play and explore all kinds of curiosities! Here’s my bookshelf mostly set up, it’s basically all my interests in physical form 😅

Been messing around a bit with some LLMs on my local machine and finding them an interesting side-quest. Definitely not a replacement for ChatGPT-4 but once I'm able to connect my own PDFs and start generating responses from those, things are going to get interesting!

Made a Pico-8 animation to get students interested in trying out for the year 5/6 coding club I’m running this year. Was a fun afternoon project 😊

I’m working on the beginning stages of a new video series. Here’s a little test I made to see how I’d go doing some low poly modeling and then animating models using Fusion in daVinci Resolve. Happy with the way things are heading!

In the previous photo, between the leaves on the hill, is the ruin of the school house my grandfather attended.

View from the side window. The nearest neighbour (my brother’s family) is a kilometre away. So much space compared to Sydney!

Currently having a break back on my parents’ farm! Greeted at the front door by this little guy 😆

I've been building and rigging the eye, arm and hand poses over the last week.

Trying to work with the animation system is still a bit unwieldy because I'm so used to Maya/Blender animation workflow, but I'm getting a bit better at understanding it.

I've also discovered that all my frustrations with Dreams VR come from the bugs with using Dreams on the PS5 and the camera adaptor, it's rock solid on PS4.

worked on rigging up the eyes today, nothing fancy, and added a side expression to enhance the 'look to the side' pose at the start.

The animation at the moment is purely to test the rig as I'm slowly adding to it. I can see I need some more arm poses to give them a little more flexibility.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to move between keyframes with the move controllers while editing keys, a simple thing on the standard controller....
