spent 2 days working on a motion template for waifu project, ended up making a standalone tool that doesn't exist yet? SMPL -> VRM bones: - axis-angle based rotations extracted per quaternion - new animation file format (streaming support) will open src when after cleanup

Kawaii, but you shouldn’t open source the tech. This would make a great paid feature.

@shinBHVR yeah, there's a few paid mocap extraction tools out there. didn't find any for direct mesh to vrm models unfortunately so had to build one

The animation file format, is that for simultaneous read/write from two separate processes? Curious cause I just stream the raw data and decode

streaming read, need to add compression next. the problem space is that once we convert on a frame by frame basis we start getting really large files

Introducing Agentic Animator You can now just tell Codex to create new model animations from scratch, here's how it works: - Be precise. Describe exactly the motion, hands, shoulders, legs - Don't expect a oneshot, we're in a completely new field here, it will get the rotation of arms wrong (see demo), just tell it what you see. - The harness: If you try to build a similar app, you will be frustrated very quickly, because a skeleton rig may contain dozens of bones, each with translation, rotation, scale. We're talking about at least 12 properties per bone per frame! Instead, I gave it some high level tool to build an initial animation "blockout", it only places a few keyframes on select bones. That is often enough! ThreeJS can interpolate between the frames and you might not need 30 fps to get a good animation for your model. Anyways it's open source and on github so you can just tell your agent to copy whatever i did and it'll likely work Just promise me to stay open source, yea? Don't you apply to YC with my findings bro

On Figma Motion, my demo & review. This is one of those updates that clicked swiftly into my workflow. Like in my 3D pipeline, using this stick shift animation, I emphasize hardware feedback with motion from Figma Motion. Assets are animated in Fig Motion and loaded into Blender as video textures for mesh and material control. It's advantageous since it is built into an ubiquitous ecosystem. A lot of work these days start in Figma even for someone like me that works outside the tool frequently. Can't over-emphasize my appreciation for the schema used to introduce motion to nearly all properties. Reminds me of how motion works in Blender - with better complexity management. Better than introducing more menus for those. Ease curves iD between keyframes is also an improvement over existing systems. Having spent some time on the tool, here are updates I'll like to see to Figma Motion. These are based on my immediate needs as at the time of working on this demo: • Using modifier keys (CMD, Shift, Ctrl) to jump / nudge across the timeline. E.g: holding down Shift key to make the playhead jump 100ms etc. • Jump to previous or next keyframe. • Better anchor point trails • Renaming layers from the timeline as well. • Editable custom bezier styles: after saving a style, I should be able to edit the curve - just as you can edit colour styles. • Enable transform on the timeline. I should be able to flip or scale keyframes. I hope to continue trying more ideas. Craft focused tools have had to take a backseat in recent times. Pleasing to see this come to light.

The City of San Diego is now planning to charge hotels $15K per space for valet parking in downtown. Up from just $600 annually, a city rules committee just approved the increase to $15K. The full city council will vote on the issue soon. Charging hotels the full “lost revenue” of a parking space, as if it were fully occupied 365 days per year 24/HRs per day might seem like it makes sense…after all why shouldn’t hotels pay that? Three reasons: 1) parking fees were never meant to balance the budget - they’re meant to cover the nominal maintenance costs and generate turnover to provide greater access to areas. 2) the spaces would not be used 365/24 if they were freed up so at least some discount should be applied to the projected lost revenue of $15K. 3) the downtown hotels were designed with a valet parking plan that was already approved by the city based on the rates previously established. This is yet another policy that will make businesses think twice before investing in San Diego.

I can finally announce the project I've been working on with Joce ! Fondant is building a new app that brings avatars and vtubing to Web. Multiplayer lobbies for vtuber streamer collabs or just hangouts with friends, as well as character customization tools building up to a full creator. We are using a WebGL and WebGPU techstack, so part of the point is to provide a cross-platform alternative to the current Unity based app ecosystem, and also to build tools that people can use to create or modify characters without going through a DCC (Blender, Maya, etc). For now we're starting with the basics: multiplayer lobbies, VRM support, and some tools like merging accessories into existing VRMs in the quoted post, and transferring Custom Vertex Normals from proxy meshes. My role is stylized shaders and procedural character creation. I've been working on NPR Shaders and tools to help build and customize 3D anime characters in Blender for years. With WebGPU, we can bring it into Web. My hope is to build a full character customization system for the Web with next gen toon shaders, and also a matching set of tools in Blender for serious content creators. But it is early days still, and there's a lot to be done! Here's the latest WIP of the rig for fitting proxy meshes to new faces.

I went on an indefinite break from VRChat world creation back in May, with the intention to explore other platforms/options. I won't be returning to VRC as a world creator anymore, the break from it is now permanent. So what did I choose? Standalone games for platforms like Steam. I plan to keep making games for PC VR first (with desktop/non-VR support too), as I fall into the group that desperately want more PC VR games that aren't held back by untethered/mobile VR parity. Mobile VR support will be considered after the pc versions are complete, if doable. How can I? if I don't like the growing complexity of vrc world dev? I'm using a standalone version of Cyantrigger and with the help of my close friends at Studio CyFi, & the transition has been really smooth to standalone. I think this is a key part of my choice and it not being an empty promise, as I'm not working in the dark here. If I need help with something (which is a lot) I have my friends to help me through it. Plus, I have access to everything game devs have the freedom to use like plugins/scripts from asset store. So do I have a project in development? Not yet. I'm in the R&D phase, learning lots of new techniques & aspects of coding to help in future projects. I am already at the stage that I can recreate everything I've done from my past worlds, so anything I learn now is completely new stuff I lacked the skill to do before. A big focus of this R&D phase is learning how to make more advanced NPC/enemy logic, since I want to do more combat heavy projects. 2026, whats the plan? I want to be more open with what I'm working on, sharing stuff I'm happy with and also stuff that I've found difficult so far, so you can keep track of my journey to making my first standalone game for PC VR. So if you do choose to stick around, thank you.

THIS GUY SPENT 5 MINUTES SETTING UP A $20 CLAUDE WORKSPACE AND TURNED 30 MINUTES OF DAILY PROMPT CHAOS INTO A SYSTEM Most people open Claude, type 1 messy prompt, rewrite it 10 times, get the same generic answer and call the model “bad.” He opens Claude Cowork, adds the project rules, past context, working files, examples, decisions and a clean place for the model to remember what it is doing. Same Claude. Same $20 tool. Completely different output. The funny part is there is no magic prompt here. No secret template. No “10x Claude” trick. Just the boring layer Karpathy keeps pointing at: context, memory and structure before output. A setup like this can save 30 minutes a day, which is 15 hours a month. If you use Claude for client work at $50 to $100/hour, that is $750 to $1,500/month in time you stop burning on repeated prompts. The model is real. The output is real. The edge is in not making Claude start from zero every single time.

The Visual Studio Code insiders version that just shipped and will ship in the next few days will come with an insane amount of new capabilities. A few highlights: - You can now run sub-agents in parallel. Yes, really. I even attached a video. - Major UX improvements for sub agents, especially visible in the chat window - A new search tool wrapped as a sub-agent that iteratively runs multiple search tools: semantic_search, file_search, grep_search Which connects nicely to the point above: multiple searches running in parallel, efficiently and fast - Anthropic’s Message API is now enabled by default - You can choose the model for the cloud agent (three available, all premium) - Extended thinking support when using the Claude cloud agent This is part of the broader multi-vendor cloud support under AgentsHQ I wrote about a few weeks ago - Tasks sent to the background agent (basically the CLI tool) now always run in isolation, each with its own git worktree - In a multi-repo workspace, assigning a task to a cloud agent prompts you to choose the target repo Same behavior when opening an empty workspace with no repo - Support for building an external index for files not supported by GitHub’s default indexing - UI/UX improvements for starting new sessions and switching between local / background / cloud agents - Skills are now first-class citizens, just like prompt files, with better UX indicating when a skill is loaded - Improved API for dynamic contribution of prompt files New V2 includes skills as part of the model. Curious to see the extensions that will leverage this - Finally, initial support for showing context usage percentage per session - Skills are enabled by default - Resizable chat window and session view. Small thing, but it was driving me crazy 😁 - A new integrated browser meant to replace the old simple browser Maybe the beginning of real browser use? - Better UI/UX for token streaming in chat - Ability to index external files not supported by GitHub There’s a lot more. Some of it hasn’t fully landed yet, but everything that has is already in Insiders. The next stable release should drop in early February. As usual, I’m just shocked by the volume of features this team ships every month. After the holiday slowdown, this one is shaping up to be a wild release.

🚨🇺🇸 REP. RO KHANNA: FILING CONTEMPT AGAINST AG BONDI IN 30 DAYS, $5,000 FINE PER DAY FOR NOT RELEASING EPSTEIN DOCS Khanna announced he'll file inherent contempt proceedings against Attorney General Pam Bondi after giving DOJ 30 days to comply, warning she'll face $5,000 daily fines while accusing the administration of "obstruction of justice": "We're planning on filing contempt when we come back. We're going to give them a 30-day grace period. The motion will get a $5,000 fine for every day she does not release these documents. I really don't care about Pam Bondi or Blanche, they're pawns in a political system. I care about the rich and powerful men who showed up on Epstein's rape island and abused these girls. I care about justice for people who still are billionaires and have buildings named after them. What the DOJ is doing doesn't pass the laugh test. They're basically committing obstruction of justice and could subject themselves to future prosecution. They're angering their own base. This is the ultimate anger in this country, that powerful elite get one set of rules and vulnerable people don't matter." Source: Ro Khanna Aaron Parnas

Doug Engelbart, inventor of the computer mouse, shares a story from his early days in Silicon Valley: After completing his thesis work at Berkeley, Engelbart had built up a portfolio of patents in what he describes as "a new phenomenon." Looking to find a home for them, he approached Hewlett-Packard directly. "I ended up with 10 to 20 patents that were in a new phenomenon and one thing I did was go to Hewlett Packard to see if they would like to buy them. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were still very active." HP agreed to buy a package of the patents from him. But Engelbart had a concern. He wasn't done inventing yet. "One thing I was worried about is I'm going to keep on inventing and I haven't even got all tied down yet. The package isn't all that's here in my head." Dave Packard's response won him over immediately: "I'll make you a deal. For the first six months everything you can write down will be yours, part of that deal. And after that they're ours." Engelbart describes Packard as "very pragmatic." It was a handshake style of deal-making that sealed it on the spot. But the most telling moment came on his way out the door. Engelbart asked the research director a simple question, one that, in hindsight, exposed a massive blind spot at one of the most respected technology companies of the era: "I'm assuming that Hewlett Packard will go into digital techniques for their instrumentation and likely in digital processing on computers." The answer: "Not a chance." "So that whole thing fell through right then." A man sitting on patents that anticipated the digital future walked into HP, and HP, a company that would later become synonymous with computing, told him they had no interest in going digital.

"One thing I was worried about is I'm going to keep on inventing and I haven't even got all tied down yet. The package isn't all that's here in my head." Dave Packard's response won him over immediately: "I'll make you a deal. For the first six months everything you can write down will be yours, part of that deal. And after that they're ours." Engelbart describes Packard as "very pragmatic." It was a handshake style of deal-making that sealed it on the spot. But the most telling moment came on his way out the door. Engelbart asked the research director a simple question, one that, in hindsight, exposed a massive blind spot at one of the most respected technology companies of the era: "I'm assuming that Hewlett Packard will go into digital techniques for their instrumentation and likely in digital processing on computers." The answer: "Not a chance." "So that whole thing fell through right then." A man sitting on patents that anticipated the digital future walked into HP, and HP, a company that would later become synonymous with computing, told him they had no interest in going digital.

🚨 WARNING: SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD WILL HAPPEN IN 24 HOURS... Trump just imposed 20% fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. And the US Navy is the toll collector. This has never happened before in modern history. The world's most critical energy chokepoint now has 20% fee on every cargo ship That wants safe passage through it. Let that number land. 20% on every shipment, every tanker, every container, every barrel of oil moving through a strait. JUST IMAGINE. 20 PERCENT. This means that all oil goods will raise at least 20% in price. This is not a military operation. This is a tax on the entire global economy collected at gunpoint in international waters. Think about what 20% does to supply chains that were already under pressure. Oil price goes up before a single additional barrel is disrupted because the cost of moving it just jumped 20% overnight. Every commodity that ships through the strait reprices immediately. Every manufacturer, every refiner, every importer that depends on Gulf supply. Now has a new line item on their cost structure that didn't exist yesterday. And it doesn't stop at energy. Global shipping routes reprice around a blockaded strait. Insurance rates spike again, alternative routes that add weeks to delivery times get activated. Supply chains that took years to optimize get restructured in days out of necessity. Inflation doesn't drift higher from here. It jumps. And a Fed that was already hiking into a slowing economy now hikes into a supply shock that monetary policy has absolutely no tool to address. You cannot cut your way out of a 20% shipping tax., you cannot print your way through a blockaded strait. The equity market has spent three weeks pricing this conflict as temporary. As something with a diplomatic resolution on the other side. As a risk to be managed rather than a structural change to absorb. Today that assumption ends. A naval blockade with a fee structure attached is not a pressure tactic. It's infrastructure. It's a new permanent cost embedded into the global economy that doesn't disappear when talks resume. Stocks haven't priced this. Bonds haven't priced this. Crypto hasn't priced this. They're about to. This sounds SCARY, but I will keep you updated on everything here. When I rotate money, I will post my moves here so my FOLLOWERS can SAVE their money. Many will regret not following me earlier...

When asked who is going to pay for his bold plans.. Brandon Johnson brings up two things that have failed. 1) He tells Springfield to bring up a constitutional amendment for FairTax again... And who is going to bankroll that campaign? The same guy Brandon & CTU goes after in the media? JB... Is united working families going to Will county to drum up support? 2) Brandon then complains about losing Bring Chicago Home and says the rich aren't paying their "fair share"... This is the problem folks. Brandon, CTU-UWF-DSA are going to drag down any new constitutional amendment, especially if they are spending the money before it's even on the ballot... They are going to mess up a once in a generation opportunity to get progressive taxation in Illinois. That's why I am so critical. They can't see that because they are so righteous.

When I was 8 years old, my favorite thing in the world was making mixtapes for my Walkman from my big sister’s CDs. That evolved into Lego stop-motion videos, and later, I fell down the rabbit hole of editing Naruto anime clips to Evanescence & Linkin Park beats. Looking back, it’s obvious: Sound and Video were always the main drivers in my life. I think that obsession also led me to my true love: Motion Design. A huge shoutout to Kevin who showed me +10 years ago the world of Motion Design. And honestly, look at where we are now. Who would have thought that there would be such a massive hype around Motion Design and UI promo videos? From giants like Airbnb to the new generation of creators like sutoxoriginals. The visual standard in 2026 is insane. But there was always one part of the process that felt like a grind to me: Sound Design. I love the result, but I hated the process. I was spending 4-5 hours per project just searching for the right sound effects. "Key typing effect" "Mouse click" "Subtle Whoosh" and so on.. So, I decided to fix it. I sat down with a Dev friend and we spent the last few weekends building a native AI tool right inside After Effects. The concept is simple: SoundDesigner AI watches your video. It understands the vibe and exactly what’s happening and when its happening. It sees a clock ticking or a text appearing, and it generates the perfect sound for it in seconds, synced to the action in your timeline. I’ve been using it on my own projects for a few days now, and it’s wild. My sound design workflow went actually from 5 hours to 20 minutes. We are launching this in February (fingers crossed for the approval at aescripts+aeplugins) If you want to see where this goes and try it out yourself, drop me a DM

Taking a look at Camera based changes to the Face Proxy Normals. 3D anime characters have the fundamental problem that Normals which produce the right shading from the front often don't from 3/4ths and side view without making big compromises. On this character, the puffiness of the cheeks means it doesn't work right. If we reduce them, we ruin the silhouette of the geometry. If we change the Normals further around the side to get a shading terminator that does work in both views, then when the light moves it will probably have new problems at other angles. There are combos that work pretty well for every angle, but they limit your face shape options. Everything is easier if you can make Camera based changes! This is rotating the Normals on the proxy before transfer to the face in Geometry Nodes. Its the same as rotating the bones shown at the start. Since there are only 3 spline profiles, its a bit low res to get this quite right, but you get the general idea. Its going to take some experimenting to figure out the best way to handle it all, but it will be much easier to author on the proxy than on the face.

YOU DONT LEARN FROM SUCCESS failure, on the other hand, is a great teacher (if you let it work its magic) we caught a doozy this week, with about 60 hrs of rework (I’ve had worse but it’s been a minute) A perfect storm of: -unreasonable customer -rushed precon and site prep -poor site supervision (on me) -poor training (on me) -poor outfitting (on me) -less than stellar execution -accident on site (spilled paint on concrete) Things that went well (this is key) -responsiveness and communication w customer -effort and attitude of site team Spent last night with the PM doing an AAR (post mortem) and now I’m in the shop on Saturday working on the team presentation and training, and I’ll be making at least 1 special Home Depot trip to add to our toolkit I’ll post the specifics on the training later, but these are the big organizational learnings that I’ll make sure we all eat/breathe/live starting next week: 1. Will never ever get upset about mistakes. Construction is messy and the only thing we know about each project is that something will go wrong - you’ll never be punished for doing a piece of craft wrong. Eg if you spill paint, I’m not going make you work for free for the 2 hours of cleanup 2. Site setup and cleanliness really matters; if we are going to be somewhere for more than a day - we need a trash can, work table, folding scaffolding for shelves, at minimum 3. The right tool matters more than effort. If you show up and you only brought sandpaper (forgot the electric sander), don’t spend 8 hours sanding by hand - take the time to go to the shop and get the right tool 4. Even if we have done a scope many many times, don’t assume that means everybody knows what to do. Review the project plan in detail beforehand 5. If things don’t seem to be going well (going slow; poorly; upset customer etc), stop and huddle quickly with your team and leaders to problem solve. Our entire organization is designed around making you successful, we are here to help What did I miss? What do you guys include in your AARs?

I got curious how compaction works as a PM, so I did some brain surgery on Claude Code: (Anthropic's been doing really interesting work on context editing - they showed Claude Opus playing Settlers of Catan for 75+ minutes in a single thread by constantly editing the context instead of starting fresh. When I saw that Claude Code has a compaction command with optional custom instructions, I wanted to understand what's actually happening.) Abhishek Katiyar and Aman Khan gave me the key tip: Claude Code stores all your conversation history as text files on your computer. Open a new directory and give Claude Code a task. Here's how to watch compaction happening: 1. Go to your user's root directory 2. Press Command+Shift+Period (Mac) to show hidden folders 3. Navigate to ~/.claude/projects/ 4. Find your project folder and use Cursor/VSCode to open it (there's a reason) 5. Install the JSONL Gazelle plugin (open source, thank you Gabor Cselle!) 6. Open the most recent JSONL file - each row is a message in your conversation 7. Run the compact command in Claude Code with custom instructions 8. Watch what happens in the file What I learned: When you compact, Claude Code doesn't just summarize and delete everything. It creates a "compact boundary" in the conversation file, writes a summary of what happened before, but keeps the full original conversation (!!!!) The new thread can still retrieve any details from before compaction if needed. That is so damn cool. Why this matters: What you're getting in Claude Code is similar to what Anthropic ships in their developer SDK - so inspecting your daily tools is how you build real product intuition. The best way to understand AI systems is to open them up and look inside. Everything is text files.

Introducing LiteParse - the best model-free document parsing tool for AI agents 💫 ✅ It’s completely open-source and free. ✅ No GPU required, will process ~500 pages in 2 seconds on commodity hardware ✅ More accurate than PyPDF, PyMuPDF, Markdown. Also way more readable - see below for how we parse tables!! ✅ Supports 50+ file formats, from PDFs to Office docs to images ✅ Is designed to plug and play with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and any other AI agent with a one-line skills install. Supports native screenshotting capabilities. We spent years building up LlamaParse by orchestrating state-of-the-art VLMs over the most complex documents. Along the way we realized that you could get quite far on most docs through fast and cheap text parsing. Take a look at the video below. For really complex tables within PDFs, we output them in a spatial grid that’s both AI and human-interpretable. Any other free/light parser light PyPDF will destroy the representation of this table and output a sequential list. This is not a replacement for a VLM-based OCR tool (it requires 0 GPUs and doesn’t use models), but it is shocking how good it is to parse most documents. Huge shoutout to Logan Markewich and Clelia Bertelli (🦙/acc) for all the work here. Come check it out: Repo:
