Hi! New Reel: vimeo.com/440415373 #showreel #motiondesign alexbraddock.com

@RohanCreates well I'm definitely looking forward to your training because it seems to answer a lot of the questions I just couldn't figure out on my own

@aB_Radd Curves. Which was important to me so that I could render them even without the base geometry. Your research seems a lot more involved. I never got that far.

@RohanCreates I love it! it looks very smooth. My method was intended for finding ways of simulating overdrawn lines, secondary offset lines, basically anything to make it look like a rough sketch. In the end was just too heavy to do anything with. Are your lines curves or just color data?

@aB_Radd I did a flip book with my method. It was about 7 seconds a frame. But i think most of that comes from the shadow calculation rather than the outline generation. twitter.com/RohanCreates/s…

@RohanCreates Yea totally not necessary, but I used it to get more point info so the curves would persist if the geometry was animating.

@aB_Radd VDB? I never even got till VDB. there's an option in the group node to select by camera. I just used that.

@Clarknova1 it's ok, they're posting pictures with lame repeated taglines, they've already shot themselves in the foot

@RohanCreates mine was the complete opposite of real-time 😅

@RohanCreates My (heavy) solution used VDB to cull points that weren't on the facing angle of the camera, and then create curves out of those points. then i could do "thickness along curve" or copy sprites to the planes, etc. Would love to figure out a way to optimize!

@dottyChasing i appreciate that!

Now premiering the first ep of Peppers, my tiny lil YT series: youtu.be/rYAv1Bz_8W8

@Clarknova1 and then they'll report 4% less insanity in quarterly earnings, and lay off 200,000 people

Starting a weird new YT series with my good bud, trailer dropped today: youtu.be/qdIp-nucavg Check it out!

@Clarknova1 I'm just generally a fan of every time you post a hot take and then close replies. Respectable

What's the best way to learn a new language these days?

@RohanCreates @aeioweyou The ink is actually a bunch bitmaps on planes copied to points on the curve! The watercolor is just a texture map, blending between a frontal and UV projection

@aB_Radd @aeioweyou How did you get the ink shading. That looks great

Toon Bot

@RohanCreates @aeioweyou This is where I got to with mine, they were quite heavy but had potential I think!

@aeioweyou @aB_Radd Cross hatch is going be the next thing I want to try. I think the smarter way would be to generate the lines and then overlay a texture in a compositing software to break them up.

@Brav_oh @EvilGeniuses Bro PaperRex vs NRG was so hype

@HisandHersLive I play MNK because I enjoy playing that way, and I have nothing to prove!

Question: Who still plays Apex on MNK? Are you planning on switching?

@merrittk after watching you play sekiro, that does not surprise me lol

Right like people who haven’t known me for long might not know I used to fucking despise these games lol

@motion_designer always felt like linkedin was the last resort back in the day, but i guess companies actually check their listings now?

@aB_Radd Keyword searches on LinkedIn are your best bet.

didn't Motionographer used to have pages and pages of jobs? there are currently 5 listings...
