Mechanical feet are always a challenge to design and develop as they need to support near omni-directional movement. For organic creatures this isn't a problem, but for mechanical designs you need to figure out ways the pieces can slide over each other and move in a realistic manner. For... Hyperion, I designed the feet with three primary pistons which handle most of the movement, almost like a ball joint. The rest of the mechanisms are hinges and overlapping panels which slide on top of one another when the feet moves. Because of his massive size and weight, I also added a toe spread feature so we could spread his toes when he walks, further selling the weight of the character. Overall I'm very happy with how the feet turned out. The feet are the second most difficult joint to work out mechanically. Second only to the shoulder joints. The hips are a close third place. #mecha #3d #vfx #cgi #rigging #animation #characterdesign #hardsurfaceshow more

Man I'm always impressed with seeing how a complex rig can really bring a model to life. I feel like both organic and mechanical models have their own challenges.

They do indeed. Organic leans heavier into tissue simulation and weight painting whereas hard-surface leans more into mechanical design.

Can I ask what pc or laptop you use? I also do 3D animation (not nearly as sophisticated as you!) and was wandering if you had any recommendations ❤️

I've been rigging up the character for my classes final project and have learned a ton in the past couple of weeks. After seeing this, I'm really glad it's a squishy human instead of some robot lol.

Hyperion was designed to be mechanically plausible, being mainly driven by pistons and other recognisable pieces. I was keen on maintaining a grounded look for Hyperion. I love the small details we were able to add of objects being pushed out of the way by the rigs movement. It adds so much character in shots when everything is animated. #mecha #3d #vfx #cgi #rigging #animation

Hyperion is a very heavy asset, because of this, we built a LOD system into the rig to enable animators to work fluidly with the character at the different stages of production. You don't always need to work with the highest quality version of your asset, especially at the earlier stages of a shot/production. Having LODs allows animators to work more efficiently by choosing the level of detail they want to work with directly in the rig. LODA - Final render asset with all details LODB - Primary and secondary panels and mechanics LODC - Only the primary panels and mechanics #mecha #3d #vfx #cgi #rigging #animation

Zack Snyder: "When you make a movie, a lot of times you take a second camera, and if the actors are talking, you stick a second camera in there to try and get a close up or something like that to make it move along faster. "That second camera normally suffers a little bit in its composition design just because it's not the primary focus, but for this movie, it's a one camera show." Larry Fong: "His shots are so designed, so it's hard to kind of get a B camera just somewhere to get another shot. He won't use it. When you're doing 180 degree dolly moves and stuff, I mean, where do you put the other camera? "It's great for me because that means I can make each shot the way I want it to without compromising, which you usually do when you have two."

This is unacceptable. Can we as a movement hold our candidate’s feet to the fire? He works for US. Murder inside and outside of the womb is wrong. Period. It isn’t negotiable. It’s not something that needs to be straightened out. It’s wrong. I’m a conservative Christian and millions like me across the country are frustrated with this.

I modelled the head, face, and battle mask for Optimus Prime for #Transformers ROTB. I also designed his new "centurion" open battle mask look along with it's animation. The director wanted the face to resemble the face from the 2007 Transformers film as ROTB was a soft-prequel to it but also wanted it to be tweaked to fit the new design and for us to give it some new unique features. This is where we came up with the new mask design which doesn't get entirely hidden when open. Instead, it gets stored on the side of his cheeks, like a Roman centurions helmet. The head design is derived from his model from the 2018 Bumblebee film to keep some consistency with that film too as ROTB was also a soft-sequel to Bumblebee. There are new pieces, adjusted proportions, and reworks to detailing in ROTBs version. The face proportions are modified from the 2007 face to be a lot wider and beefier, matching his new head shape and look. I redesigned and built the eyes from scratch using our kitbash pieces like I did for all the Maximals and Mirage. The studio decided against going for the holographic eyes look from the 2018 Bumblebee film but rather wanted a more simple look in between the 2007 and the 2018 eyes. I added a lot of small mechanical details to his battle mask animation which we unfortunately never get to see in the film. For example, I designed a fully functional mechanism which pushes his chin piece back when his mask closes. This was very cool when it was visible, our Animation Director and VFX Supervisors were super excited about it, but unfortunately no shot showed it off in the final film. It was a lot of fun to help model and design Optimus Prime for this film. I'm happy I got to contribute to such an iconic character.

Optimus Primal was one of the fan favourites from Transformers Rise of the Beasts and also one of our heaviest characters. As the leader of the Maximals and the most popular character from Beast Wars it was important to get him to feel brutish and powerful but also recognisable. We had really good concept art with several different directions which the studio wanted us to explore. We spent a lot of time trying out different looks for him, experimenting with different levels of wear and tear, rust, and looks for his synthetic fur. I served as the Character Lead and was responsible for the Primary Texturing and Look Development as well as the Modeling of the eyes and their lighting setup. I am very happy with how the character turned out in the film and fans reactions to seeing him on the big screen for the first time.

The stance of Babar Azam is not suitable now days for such pitches. He opens up and stands between the stumps. On such pitches, there should be a bit of sideways movement so that he can easily go on the front and back foot. His feet are not balanced, and when the ball hit his pads, both shoes were facing towards cover and mid-off, and his feet were in the air, and his head outside of the off stump.

I work with a lot of infielders that do not understand the speed of the game and the internal clock you must have. 1st ball SS slows his feet which slows the arm down and almost throws ball away. 2nd ball doesn’t make the same mistake. They practice at a certain speed, which translates to the game. Every line time in this video is under 4.4. Put your infielders on the stop watch at practice. Challenge them to be under or at a certain time. Start at 4.5 and work down. Call out every time so they know if they are rushed or have time. The internal clock is one of the most important parts an infielder can have!!

RFK Jr. just explained his end goal for the MAHA movement. “To make America the healthiest country in the world like it was when I was a kid.” “I said this when I endorsed President Trump. I said a healthy person has a thousand dreams and a sick person just has one.” “And we’ve got a whole generation now of kids who are sick and they have only one dream.” “And we want to give them the American dream.” “And for many of them, their lives are going to be consumed in the struggle with chronic pain and chronic disease.” “And we’ve got to identify the exposures, get rid of them, and then figure out treatments.”

[Part 10] The side of Taehyung hyung's determination to never give up on his goal: Even with foot injury *the person received permissions to post* 👤In military bootcamp, there is something called a physical fitness test that is held every 2 weeks. The physical fitness test consists of 3 rounds, with the third round results being officially logged into the system. I am from a fitness background and so push ups and sit ups were very easy for me. But the running was a problem. The running category is for 3km. I got 2nd grade in the first round and 1st grade in the second round. To get Special Grade, you have to finish within 12 mins and 30 secs. For Elite Trainee eligibility, you must rank Grade 1 or above, which is below 13 mins and 20 secs. So although many people tried, most of them failed due to the running portion. Taehyungie hyung also kept getting Grade 2 in both the first and second rounds. He needed Grade 1, but his stamina but his stamina wasn't keeping up. That time he tols me, "I thought my stamina is great because I've been dancing for more than 10 years, but it hit me pretty hard to find it isn't like that." That's because Taehyungie hyung had a problem on his soles of his feet. There was even one time when his feet hurt so much that he couldn't keep running. However, in the final test even with his feet hurting so much, he managed to finish in Grade 1. So he said, whenever he ran, he could feel a shooting pain from his feet. So seeing him continue to run despite the pain in his feet was extremely impressive. (

Out of the Frying Pan, into the Fire A hapless pigeon looking for shelter from the rain meets a farm cat named Banana. Farm cats are used specifically for pest control, so while the following does apply to them, the concentration of domestic cats in cities is a much more destructive issue. It is estimated that domestic cats kill 1.3 billion prey animals every year, which is a modest estimate and a major problem for the natural balance of the ecosystem. Domestic cats are not native to North America (they are native to modern day Iraq Cyprus, and Syria) and are one of, if not the most damaging of any predatory invasive species on the continent. Most will have the benefit of an owner and protected shelter, so they are able to temporarily remove themselves from the food chain while they sleep - which is a huge advantage over everything else in that system. They are also most likely fed at home, so when they attack something it's usually out of instinct and not hunger - which helps along their "kill for fun" reputation.

WOW This Is Unbelievable. Moms Across America Meeting With The FDA FDA said 98% of samples tested for herbicides did not exceed the regulatory limits Turns out, out of the top 25 herbicides used in America, The FDA was ONLY TESTING FOR 2 OF THEM & TELLING US OUR FOOD IS SAFE “I'm outside the FDA and we just met with the FDA, with the head of Human Foods Department, the Deputy Commissioner Jim Jones. So we got a meeting with the policy makers, Anne Conrad, who is the head of another division, I don't have his title here right now, and two other women that play important role in the FDA and we presented all of the facts about our findings on school lunches, fast food, loaded cereal. We gave them initial preliminary studies on baby food and Girl Scout cookies and gluten-free food, which we are still processing those results, but they are very toxic and it's very upsetting. So we gave them preliminary results and we talked about the fact that they are the ones, they are the policymakers and decision makers to make sure that people have access to safe, non-toxic, nutrient-dense food. And they kept talking about how, you know, they are doing this, they are doing that. We're very glad not envy them their jobs. This is a very difficult job that they have. Okay. They kept mentioning how they have to stay in their lanes. And you know, the EPA has their regulations, like they set the regulatory limits. For example, 30,000 parts per billion of glyphosate that's allowed on wheat, right, which is ridiculously high. So they, the EPA sets the limits and the FDA regulates and they do the testing to make sure that the food doesn't exceed those limits. And I brought up the fact that they're, they could be doing a better job For instance, out of the top 25 most widely used herbicides, I saw the list back when I was on the Organic Products Advisory Board for the Secretary of Agriculture in California as a consumer representative. I looked at the list of what the FDA was testing for, what the California FDA was testing for, and what the top 25 most widely used herbicides that are used in America, what they are. And the FDA was only testing for two of them. FDA was only testing for three of them. And they were coming out with reports saying, well, 98% of the samples, the 1,200 samples, for instance, that we tested for did not exceed the EPA's regulatory limits for residues, right, for pesticide residues. Yeah, but if, you can't say 98% of the samples did not exceed the regulatory limits. If you're only testing for two out of the top 25 pesticides, you guys get what I'm talking about here, that is misleading. So we brought that up again to them. — So we are going to be calling for a meeting where the EPA, the FDA, the USDA all work together to create a safer food supply and to stop shirking their responsibilities and pointing in the other direction that the other people are responsible. We need to do major mental health, physical health, and reproductive health issues because of the toxins in the food supply. So please stay tuned. We will tell you what the results of this is. We are going to be following up with them with the data. — We need to be coming back here and holding them to account because God knows the chemical companies are spending millions and millions of dollars to have lobbyists telling them these chemicals for as a tool. We need you know to use GMOs. You know and folks this is not true farmers have been farming for thousands of years thousands of generations without toxic chemicals. They can continue to do it and they must do it in order to protect the future of the human race.“ I can’t transcribe a lot of what is being said due to the text limits on X but I HIGHLY recommend watching this video

Jim Jarmusch on why editing is similar to sculpting & how he wanted "Dead Man" (1995) to feel like: "Interviewer: Are you the kind of director who finds the film in the cutting room or do you do the montage in your head as you shoot? Jarmusch: I’m in-between. When | go in the cutting room, I have a pretty good idea of how a scene was intended to be cut together. The editing is very important because you get to a Zen-like place where the film starts telling you how to cut it. A lot of scenes were shot for 'Dead Man' that are not in the film. Shooting is like cutting up big pieces of granite that are sort of in the right shape of the thing you want to sculpt out of them. And then you go back, and the shape is not exactly what you had in mind so you sculpt them some more. I like the process. That’s why I never use a storyboard, and on 'Dead Man' I didn’t even have shot lists in advance. I don’t want to know in advance what we’re going to do because then we are not thinking on our feet. Interviewer: How did you work out the conception of the film’s look with DP Robby Miiller? It’s a black-and-white film with lots of shades of gray. And the landscapes were quite ugly but beautifully so. Jarmusch: We worked hard to use black and white like it was used in the ’30s and ’40s when the gray scale was the color palette. We wanted to avoid the recent “hard” black-and-white look, although the blacks are very black and the whites are very white. We wanted a feeling like a film by Mizoguchi. And when we were scouting for locations, whenever we saw any magnificent view, like a postcard type, we would appreciate it, Robby and I, and then turn out backs and look for our location with that out of view." (Jim Jarmusch's interview with Scott Macaulay, 1996) P.S: On this day, 30 years ago, "Dead Man" (1995) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

Jim Jarmusch on why editing is similar to sculpting & how he wanted "Dead Man" (1995) to feel like: "Interviewer: Are you the kind of director who finds the film in the cutting room or do you do the montage in your head as you shoot? Jarmusch: I’m in-between. When | go in the cutting room, I have a pretty good idea of how a scene was intended to be cut together. The editing is very important because you get to a Zen-like place where the film starts telling you how to cut it. A lot of scenes were shot for 'Dead Man' that are not in the film. Shooting is like cutting up big pieces of granite that are sort of in the right shape of the thing you want to sculpt out of them. And then you go back, and the shape is not exactly what you had in mind so you sculpt them some more. I like the process. That’s why I never use a storyboard, and on 'Dead Man' I didn’t even have shot lists in advance. I don’t want to know in advance what we’re going to do because then we are not thinking on our feet. Interviewer: How did you work out the conception of the film’s look with DP Robby Miiller? It’s a black-and-white film with lots of shades of gray.

The destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe. Nobody should doubt our support for Ukraine. And this is what we are firmly standing behind. I'm skeptical about some of the details which we are seeing in the documents coming from the U.S. side.” Macron: "I think we have a lot of cards in our hands." Zelenskyy: "Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians." Starmer: "If there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. Matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine." FULL STATEMENTS: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "But the principles remain, the principles that we've operated on for a very, very long time, which is that we stand with Ukraine, and if there's to be a ceasefire, it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire. And that's why it's so important, that we repeatedly set out the principle forward that matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine. And we stand here to support you in the conflict and support you in the negotiations and make sure that this is a just and lasting settlement if we can get that far. You're very welcome for our discussions". President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Thank you very much, Kir. Thank you for organizing this meeting. Thank you, friends, Emmanuel and Friedrich, and thank you for our joint meeting. I think that it is very important now to organize such a meeting and discuss very sensitive issues regarding these talks that we had, in the United States and between us. Our team came back, and I think that they will brief us about the last talks with Americans and after talks of Americans with Russians. I think there are lot of what we have to discuss and speak about. So there are a lot of things which are very important for today. I think, unity between Europe and Ukraine, and also unity between Europe, Ukraine, and the U.S. There are some things which we can't manage without Americans, things which we can't manage without Europe, and that's why we need to make some important decisions". President of France Emmanuel Macron: "And thank you Volodymyr for being with us. You are always welcome. In France, I think we all support Ukraine, and we all support peace. And peace negotiations to have sustainable, robust peace. And I think we have a lot of cards in our hands. The financing and the quality of equipments and training programs to Ukraine, the fact that Ukraine is resisting in this war, and the fact that the Russian economy is starting to suffer, especially after our latest sanctions and the US sanctions. And now I think the main issue is the convergence between our common positions, Europeans and Ukrainians, and the U.S. to finalize these, peace negotiations and re-engage in a new phase in the best possible conditions for Ukraine, for the Europeans, and for our collective security". Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz: "I highly appreciate that we are having the opportunity to see you, Volodymyr, together with Emmanuel, and talking about the upcoming days, because this could be a decisive time for all of us. We are trying to continue our support for Ukraine, as you know. On the other hand, we are seeing these talks and negotiations in Moscow and in the U.S. I'm looking forward to hear from you what the outcome of these talks might be. And we are still and remain strongly behind Ukraine and giving support to your country, because we all know that the destiny of this country is the destiny of Europe. So that's the reason why we are here, trying to figure out what we can do. And nobody should doubt on our support for Ukraine. And this is what we are firmly standing behind. And the outcome is open. I'm skeptical about some of the details which we are seeing in the documents coming from the U.S. side, but we have to talk about that. That's why we are here".

"I told him [President Trump] that we are fully in line with Ukraine, that the sovereignty of this country must not be jeopardized." Chancellor Merz, in an interview with DW, said that Russia's war against Ukraine is a "deep threat for the entire political order of the European continent." "We are trying to figure out which part of this plan could be achieved unanimously between the Europeans, the Americans, and Ukraine on the one side, and the Russians on the other side. This is something we are trying to figure out, which is extremely complicated. But we have to move forward, and we have to come to an end of this terrible war," Friedrich Merz said.
