  1. If you're a nerd like me, you might be interested in watching the SpaceX Dragon launch live toward the ISS in about 5: goo.gl/gnda0
  2. This beer is classy. It comes with a cork. I grew a mustache after the first sip.
  3. Endless Reference has 60 free animation reference videos on their YouTube Channel: youtube.com/playlist?list=…
  4. Wired article about Unreal Engine 4, including a lot of images: wired.com/gamelife/2012/…
  5. They're saying this Last of Us ambush trailer from Naughty Dog is rendered realtime. Looks fantastic: youtu.be/ShP5xn9Tz90?hd…
  6. My daughter had her tonsils out today. She was a trooper. My freezer is loaded with ice cream, popsicles, sherbet, and frogurt.
  7. My 5 y/o daughter was playing a "Pony Club Decorator" game on a kid friendly browser, and there were Diablo III banner ads everywhere.
  8. So I'm having some sherbet and a bit of my lip got stuck to the very cold spoon. Now I'm bleeding. I'm awesome.
  9. So how do I get a job doing CG for the SyFy channel? I have some things I'd like to show them. Piranhanconda Trailer: youtu.be/C4EZVtn5kLI
  10. @DavidMansaray "Time flies like an arrow; Fruit flies like a banana. ~Groucho Marx" I'm not a very serious person.
  11. @MarkBTomlinson Lunch.
  12. @DavidMansaray I like the desaturated colors and the DOF. Add some white Helvetica to the upper left 3rd and you have a motivational poster.
  13. @weheartgames @wtrebella You guys should settle this like men. Thumb war!
  14. Just talked with an art director about a possible project. I love it when the director has a firm grasp of the time required for good 3D.
  15. I just discovered that shaking a window in Windows 7 minimizes all other windows. Either that or I'm a wizard.
  16. Figures. I have a free bit of time and absolutely no ambition to fill it with anything creative or useful.
  17. @PhilNolan3D I'd buy the Tintin Tin.
  18. @PhilNolan3D I'm jealous. That looks mighty tasty.
  19. @malkosh I appreciate the effort and the realism. But I agree, without 2D output practical application would be limited.
  20. @mayaemilie I'd say I'd like to see the arts promoted as much as sport. Sadly the arts are the first to get cut.
