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.show more

Here's what's coming next for the Fondant Custom Normals Addon: Adjustable 3D anime face proxy mesh! If you've tried the proxy method before, you know that it can be difficult to get good results as you need the right topology and shape for good Normals, and also for it to fit to the face properly for a clean transfer. The solution is to use two proxies: one for the shape, and one for the fitting. But that gets cumbersome! And it is still often unintuitive to get the correct shading shapes. The next major feature of the addon will be aiming to solve these problems by providing a convenient proxy mesh that you can fit to your character's face with some rig controls, and then handles the rest under the hood with Geometry Nodes. All the benefits of complexity without having to deal with it yourself! This clip shows the general idea, but is early stages. I'll be sharing more as I build it out.

I've built a setup in Geometry Nodes to get data from bones, so now I can do things like make Normals from them, and I'm experimenting with much more. The Normal here is basically a cylinder around each bone. So it doesn't work that great around the shoulders, but its great on the arms and legs. Its the same idea as when you do radial/sphere Normals for a face or hair, but for the whole body.

The Fondant Easy Custom Normals Blender addon 2.0.0 is out! We've added the Anime Face Proxy Normals tool I've been developing as a new tier to help fund further development ($10). Get it on Gumroad (link below.) The free tier Laplacian Smooth modifier has also received fixes and optimizations. The Normals Proxy is a set of rigged Curves + Geometry Nodes magic. Place it around your anime face and get clean toon shading fast (compared to other methods.) Easily adjust the shape with the rig for different expressions and poses, add it to your character's rig, and even shapekey it for expression keys!

Putting the finishing touches on the Anime Face Normals proxy. Still setting up the geometry nodes modifier inputs and other controls. It is easy to adjust the placement and shape of the shading with the rig, and the modifier has options for the shape of the interpolation, and automatic mask setup that blends back to the mesh Normals on the forehead and below the chin. The Proxy Normals modifier automatically feeds into the Laplacian Smooth modifier to benefit from smoothing and Weighted Normals. There's a lot more planned to give more control of the number of curves, points on them, interpolation+falloff, masking, and more. But I'll save those for future updates and not make the wait longer!

Here is the Geometry Nodes Weighted Normals with Laplacian Blur on a full character (a vroid). It easily improves the shading even on game topology with almost no setup. I built this as part of my quest to improve real time toon shading. 3D anime models are popular, but use of dynamic light is rare even among high quality vtuber models. This is for several reasons, but a big one is simply that it takes a lot of Custom Normals work to make 3D cel shading not look like a jagged mess (other pieces of the puzzle are issues like deformations, multiple lights, etc). And fixing Normals is tedious, especially on existing game topology. I have focused on proxy meshes for priority areas like character faces, but they aren't an efficient solution for the whole body + outfit. I wanted something I could just throw on any model and make it at least not a jagged mess anymore even if it wasn't perfect. As you can see from this clip, this does that very well! And vertex groups can be used to control the style of the effect and power. It still can't smooth beyond what the topology density can support, but the topo itself is no longer a problem (for higher res, could be run on a subdivided version of the model and then baked to a Normal Map.) The only changes I made to this model were adding a weld modifier to merge split edges during interpolation, and a vertex group to select the skirt. I have not yet added full handling and logic for detecting edges with big angles like the skirt, or for handling boundaries like on the hair, so both those areas can get better too. You can also see that while it successfully smooths out the Face, it isn't really stylistically correct there. That is still best done with a proxy mesh to define a new shape. This is part of the tools I am working on for Fondant. We are putting together a Blender Addon to release this + a proxy mesh tool for the face, and are working on resolving other problems in-engine to fully bring dynamic light to real time 3D toon shading. Give us a follow, and send them a DM if you are interested in testing these tools as they develop!

The Fondant Custom Normals Blender addon is being tested, and we're aiming for a 1.0 release next week! The first feature is the Weighted Normals + Laplacian Smoothing Geometry Nodes modifier. This let's you calculate Normals that are as clean as a nice quad mesh even if your topology is a mess and triangulated! We'll be following up with more tools to support creating high quality Normals for 3D anime and vtuber characters. We have an optimized adjustable Face Normal Transfer proxy mesh nearly ready to go. Check out the Docs to see more about the Addon's features and workflow (link in the reply.)

The #geometrynodes Curve Normals Proxy Rig is almost ready! You place it on the face and adjust some controls to line things up, and it just works. The controls can be worked with in lots of different ways. You can attach it to an existing rig or animate it. Those bones are controlling a mesh which controls the curve points, so you can also make Shapekeys on the meshes instead and Drive them to match other expression keys! The forehead above the top curve blends to Radial Normals, and under the chin blends to the actual mesh Normals. I'm adding the rest of the controls to allow completely arbitrary Normals per curve point, and then its just cleanup and it can be released! (There's lots more that can be added to it like falloff and interpolation controls, but if I try to put everything into the first version it'll never release.)

Proxy Meshes aren't always ideal because many of the vertices are filler. They have to be in the right place to complete the surface shape and you have to worry about keeping the shape clean. But for simple shapes or clean curved surfaces, why not use curves directly Previously I've solved this by lofting the proxy mesh from a simpler set of curve profiles, but why not skip that and just define the Normals with the curve profiles directly? With typical Data Transfer modifier this isn't an option, but with Geometry Nodes it is no problem. And potentially gives much more control over interpolation and rigging.

Peter Thiel on the question he asks every startup founder he invests in “Why will the 20th talented person join your company when they can get paid way more at Google, they will have to work way less hard at Google, and it will look better on their resume to go to Google?” The 20th employee won’t get the equity or prestige that someone on the founding team will get, so there needs to be another incentive if you’re going to build a truly great company and attract the best people in the world. Thiel believes the best answer is something along the lines of: “This is the only place in the world where you can work on this incredibly important problem.” He continues: “It has to—on some dimension—be a really important problem that at least some people think is the most important problem in the world. Those are the kind of businesses that are unique, and when they work, they end up being leaders in their respective markets.” If it’s a problem that a bunch of other team are working on, it will be hard to attract a truly world-class employee #20.

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

BOMBSHELL: Coach Tuberville just CALLED OUT the Senate GOP for putting on a "SHOW WEEK" instead of doing what it takes to pass the SAVE America Act. "We can't get it passed, and it's probably one of the most CRUCIAL pieces of legislation that we will face." "We can't get anything done. We even have Republicans that are not going to vote for it. [The] talking filibuster is not going to work. The only way we can do it, we got to bust the filibuster, 51 votes, get this done, [we must] pass everything we can for President Trump between now and the election next year, and we can take this country back over." "But if we don't get this passed, we are doomed." Senator Tuberville says it like it is and we need more like him in DC. He will be missed in the Senate, but the people of Alabama will be blessed to have him as Governor.

To be a successful founder, you have to believe that what you're working on is going to work — despite knowing it probably won't! That sounds like an oxymoron, but it's really not. Believing that what you're building is going to work is an essential component of coming to work with the energy, fortitude, and determination it's going to require to even have a shot. Knowing it probably won't is accepting the odds of that shot. It's simply the reality that most things in business don't work out. At least not in the long run. Most businesses fail. If not right away, then eventually. Yet the world economy is full of entrepreneurs who try anyway. Not because they don't know the odds, but because they've chosen to believe they're special. The best way to balance these opposing points — the conviction that you'll make it work, the knowledge that it probably won't — is to do all your work in a manner that'll make you proud either way. If it doesn't work, you still made something you wouldn't be ashamed to put your name on. And if it does work, you'll beam with pride from making it on the basis of something solid. The deep regret from trying and failing only truly hits when you look in the mirror and see Dostoevsky staring back at you with this punch to the gut: "Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing." Oof. Believe it's going to work. Build it in a way that makes you proud to sign it. Base your worth on a human on something greater than a business outcome.

Peter Thiel on the question he asks every startup founder he invests in “Why will the 20th talented person join your company when they can get paid way more at Google, they will have to work way less hard at Google, and it will look better on their resume to go to Google?” The 20th employee won’t get the equity or prestige that someone on the founding team will get, so there needs to be another incentive if you’re going to build a truly great company and attract the best people in the world. Thiel believes the best answer is something along the lines of: “This is the only place in the world where you can work on this incredibly important problem.” He continues: “It has to—on some dimension—be a really important problem that at least some people think is the most important problem in the world. Those are the kind of businesses that are unique, and when they work, they end up being leaders in their respective markets.” If it’s a problem that a bunch of other team are working on, it will be hard to attract a truly world-class employee #20.

Swinging over the top? But can’t stop it? This drill will. Then get the feel you have from the drill once the rods gone. If all you do is push the ball with the rod there then your face is to open and you have to swing OTT to try and close the face.

.Secretary Marco Rubio on Face The Nation: “There are things Russia wants that it cannot get and there are things Ukraine wants it's not going to get. Both sides are going to have to give up something in order to get to the table in order to make this happen. That's just the way it is. The sooner we accept that, that's the reality.”

“At all costs means you will do anything within the rules to get the win. You have to convince your players that this is what it takes and this is the cost. The cost is you better get your ass in the best shape of your life. The only way to do that is you’ve got to work,” Pat Riley 🎥 ESPN

Who inverted the new Karen Read footage from Pequitside Farm in Canton? My last post caused some confusion because I uploaded the clip exactly as it was produced by the DA’s office. That led to questions: which taillight are we looking at? Is the research wrong? Did I flip it? Am I losing it? 😅 Here’s the thing.. when reviewing new evidence, we have to anchor ourselves in what we already know. It’s easy to default to the simplest explanation (in this case, assuming the visible taillight is the driver’s side). But at this point, taking anything from the Norfolk County DA’s office at face value would be naïve. From the timeline we know: 🔹️ Kerry Roberts was driving her SUV behind Jen McCabe and Karen Read as they left Jen’s house heading toward John’s. 🔹️ Kerry was not present when Karen initially left John’s home earlier. 🔹️ Pequitside Farm sits on the right-hand side of the road when traveling from Jen’s to John’s. 🔹️ The camera is positioned on the right side of the road. If the camera is on the right, the taillight closest to it is the passenger-side taillight.. not the driver’s side. Which means the undamaged taillight we see closest to the camera is the very same taillight later photographed as obliterated in MSP evidence photos. So why does the clip make it look like we’re viewing the driver’s side? When looking at the original supplied footage, the “Do Not Enter” sign is backwards. So either we’re dealing with yet another mysteriously inverted camera… or the footage was flipped. The most important takeaway here isn’t left vs. right. It’s that Karen Read’s taillight is visibly intact. Not shattered. Not obliterated. Which brings us to the real question. If it wasn’t broken there, then who broke it?
