Yes, I am less active on this platform than I used to be, but you can find more activity, relating to animation and artwork & my professional career, on my LinkedIn. Deeper messaging than a limited character count can offer... Please follow me there: linkedin.com/in/nathanwalpo…

Art tests are a Stone Age practice that needs to be driven off a cliff.

I created a post collecting every Unreal animation presentation from the recent Unreal Fest 2024 (and more)

Advertise your account with one animation

@Myrmidia Body odor. That get up doesn't let your farkles breathe.

@KielFiggins @wardonkey The "bub" slider.

@wardonkey Ha! Clever! seems so obvious now that you mention it...

Guess who saw Deadpool & Wolverine? (p.s. @KielFiggins no 'Wolverine' attribute slider on Isaac?? I gotta do this myself??!!😂)

@KielFiggins I'm right there, too. It's one of my fav genres, and most of what I play on my SteamDeck. It is on my bucket list to make one...

I dumped so many quarters into this game. The baby mecha pilot was my jam!

@GameAnim I'm digging in, too. A good chunk of curriculum re-write this summer to include MM tutelage for my students. I'm excited, and they should be as well!

Just taking my time with the new Unreal motion matching sample project

FromSoftware's Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon was animated in 3DS Max Biped. Just look at these rigs!

@tech_art_gent I've always appreciated your help over the years. Thank you. Soon, I'll be appreciating 2XK0! Looks like a blast to work on...

More honest than Marty's current political career...and much less crass. instagram.com/reel/C1uaQKDii…

@axl99 Three options: 1.) Burn the clothes 2.) Immolate the pet 3.) Shave the pet *Nate has always had non-shedding dogs so this list may be extreme

Pet owners, I have a very important question, how do I get pet hair off my clothes when i'm doing the laundry?

Hey Animators! The animation industry is constantly evolving, and so should we! Today, set a personal challenge. It could be mastering a new animation tool, experimenting with a different style, or starting that project you’ve been thinking about. How will you grow today?

@ElyseGymer Please tell us you make the noises with your mouth, too. #vroom #everyanimator #adultchild

I love my job🤣🏍️

Art and tech "nerds". I am in need of a new rig to run the usual — UE5, de Maya, Photoshorps, etc — I've been out of the hardware loop for quite awhile and ask for advice on setups/sources that will deliver and simultaneously not break my bank. Thanks! *payment with cat pic

@SeanIzaakse #artgetsbetter 👍🏼

First pic is from 2006 Second is from today 2024 What’s the saying, had to go through this… to get to this…

Hits hard. As a Halo 2 & 3 dev, I'm humbled to have helped shape so many amazing play sessions. Thanks fam. #Halo #halo2 #halo3 instagram.com/reel/C5TVt41O9…

I won the Black in Gaming Indie Developer Award tonight! I did a speech! It got pretty spicy!! (Part 1/2)

@Anim8der Years ago I had to leave a GDC event to racket two of my women students back to their hotel safety after they were approached repeatedly and were incredibly uncomfortable by industry men. Thank you for standing tall, Tim.

Locking it down for the evening. Appreciate all of the support. I just hate that this was an experience these young women had at their first GDC.

The future of digital humans starts with @meshcapade. At #GDC2024, we've unveiled our updated platform. World's best markerless mocap from a single video. High-quality human motions from text. A new viewer with all the old features. Try it here for free: meshcapade.me

New Video-to-Mocap system just dropped. It outputs a skeletal mesh matching the proportions of the person in the video. I just tried it out on a video with a female dancer. It got her proportions quite well and the motion was decent. I've seen worse from inertia suits.
