Are we close to vibe coding blender to transform the outliner to behave like the c4d object manager where all materials and modifiers were visible in one hierarchy, and add a c4d style Mtl manager, and a unified attributes manager and a generally more coherent ui?
Here’s an animation I made a while ago for the Butthole Surfers documentary: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt. I 3d modelled the band based on archival photos, did all the mocap and tried to recreate their crazy live show from back in the day.
I almost used MCP to rig and weight a character and sculpt facial morphs today but then I realized I knew how to just do it myself so I did it, and it took 30 minutes and it was somewhat enjoyable to use my brain to do a thing for a time and make a bunch of decisions.
Giving away my 3D Oliver Tree scan for anyone who wants to make tribute art. He would have wanted it out there to inspire creativity. Hopefully this helps immortalize the legend. We jammed for weeks together doing crazy mocap sessions w this rig. DL link smearballs.com/oliver/
Devastated. Oliver would come crash at my studio for weeks at a time and jam on tour visuals. I was always blown away by how hard this dude went. Nonstop hilarious creative force on all fronts. Gonna miss this guy. RIP @Olivertree
I did some animation on the new Smiling Friends - Friendbot episode on adult swim. Big thx to @Framed51 for helping out with models.

Had the pleasure of creating some models for the Friend-Bot Episode of Smiling Friends!! So surreal seeing my first TV credit! Thank you @smearballz for bringing me on to help!
Glad to see the adobe lawsuit. So much sneaky crap they do like not allowing you to cancel a subscription for hours after purchase so you forget and get sucked into auto renewing. They are really scummy.
I just made a $650 gourmet dinner from some expired frozen meat in my brand new air fryer. The restaurant industry is so cooked.
Client on round 37 of revisions: Can we go back to version 18 where the hockey player held 2 sticks? It felt more symmetrical. Also make sure the woman's shadow doesn't leave the bird's back when she begins convulsing and dies. We're almost there. Great work, you are a rock star!
It’s Friday so I jumped into my mocap suit to make Stephen Miller motor boat his Barbie with Skeletor
Simulating mega wedgies in Houdini with tetrahedral soft bodies and using a vellum glue node to keep him from falling out of his underwear will always be more fun than whatever the hell you prompt ponies are doing with your time.
Dusted off my 2 VR headsets only to find windows discontinued mixed reality in win 11 so my hp headset just doesn't even work at all and Adobe discontinued VR previews in after effects so I need to roll back to AE 2019. Seems like the world just gave up on VR in general.
Testing out this new AR app @Simulon . Really cool workflow that takes care of shooting / tracking/ hdri lighting, and rendering all in-app. Rad to be able to shoot your creations without guessing placement and amazing that it makes the HDRI and renders on the spot.
Best uber driver ever! Bunch of shots using the @Simulon AR app. All automated - shot / tracked on iphone and cloud rendered without any compositing. Super easy and massive time saver. Did dozens of finished rendered shots in an afternoon.
