Feel your years advance too quickly, but your traumas recede too slowly?
Occupy the middle ground while the world gets more & more polarised?
A gentle reminder that the self-titled 1st album from my project Vopiscus is out there, and might just express how you feel.

Apropos of a conversation with a friend that I won't go into, he sent me this #TerryThomas meme.
I've known him 50 years but I may have to end our friendship over this.
Can you see what he got so disastrously wrong?

More #Blender work on the members of #EleanorInTweed & I'm getting my teeth into simulations.
Each member has a role in the band's narrative as well as in terms of their instruments.
Ann Coates here represents their lighter & more playful side, so this mocap seemed appropriate!

A very quick #Blender mocap test of Ann Coates, keyboardist for my virtual band Eleanor In Tweed.
It's a bit jittery, the weight painting needs a lot of adjustment & I've still to add facial animation, but I'm starting to get a sense at least of how the band will look in action.

I may have had a smidgeon of understanding for the standpoint of Plaid and the SNP - not agreement, but understanding.
But now they're thrown their lot in with those murdering bastards Sinn Fein, I no longer have any respect. Fuck them all!

This is the latest in a set referring to northern English folklore and urban legends.

Have to say I'm liking #Audacity4! Lots of quality of life improvements, MUCH easier to edit, and just nicer to look at than the older versions!

More tweaks to some of the band members of #EleanorInTweed in #Blender.
Slight improvements to Sally Ford's default "natural" colouration, and subtle improvements to Davy Hulme and Miles Platting (the latter needs a lot more work yet).

Ooh, there's a new issue of #Mancunian out soon. Weird that it says issue 2, there have actually been a few, but its publication history is a bit convoluted.
Must crack on with my #Blender adaptation...

More work on my #Blender character Sally Ford. It's REALLY subtle but I've made some adjustments to the proportions of her face.
Early stages of a new outfit. The finished thing won't be quite this revealing, but it's kind of a tribute to #ThedaBara.

Dug out some dusty old tomes to help my various #Blender projects along.
A bit outdated in some respects - they're from the pre-PBR era amongst other things, but most of the principles are still sound.

A dick over on Faceshite accused me of using AI & other fakery on my #Blender characters.
It really pissed me off after the huge amount of work I put into them, so I shared these screengrabs of the blend files.

Carrying on my #Blender work on the members of my virtual band #EleanorInTweed, and the next one to get some tweaks and fixes and the vintage monochrome treatment, is guitarist #MilesPlatting.

I'm enjoying playing with the vintage monochrome look I'm using on my #EleanorInTweed characters in #Blender, so I thought I'd apply it to my intrrpretations of #superhero #Mancunian & his sidekick #Impact too.

My improvements to my #Blender characters continue.
I really like this vintage monochrome look, I think it suits them down to the ground!
Tonight it's Ann Coates, keyboards & backing vocals for Eleanor In tweed. Some issues with hair intersection in the ears, I'll fix that.

More progress with my #Blender character Sally Ford. I'm getting closer to feeling like the design phase is done now.
Here she is, along with a concept for an album cover based on the same image.

Yet more subtle tweaks to my #Blender character Sally Ford. Mainly inprovements to the materials and textures.
The face might look a bit out of proportion compared to earlier versions. That's not the mesh, I made the mistake of rendering with a very wide lens. 🙄

Work on my #Blender character Sally Ford continues. Something felt a bit off with her & after consideration I think her eyes were a bit weird.
I reshaped them & made some other subtle tweaks. Think she looks better now.
Here she is with a couple of her alternative looks...
