Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber

An animation bugged out and I nearly spat out my drink

Unity animation preview. A spirivali's mouth is distorted exactly like the skibidi face. This was not intentional at all.

So, you come here often?

an important skill to learn is knowing when you're working and when you're absently spinning your model in the viewport clicking things but not getting anything done and either screwing off for a bit or calling it a day.

had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed

A screenshot of a tumblr post.

From user radiqueer:
Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget.

From user aromanticduck:
Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

Brielle 💖@briellebear.bsky.social · 3w ago

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

A render showing two avali on the dark, cramped bridge of a spacecraft, looking out the front window to a source of bright, cool white light. Polaris is at the controls with his hand on the stick, wearing a focused expression, while Milo stands further back, staring out in (somewhat concerned) wonderment.

A view from behind the characters, showing the light to be a brilliant white O-type star, filling the frame of the cockpit canopy. Displays show information about the star and its position, with many showing the text "RAD WARN" in the Avali language.

#Avali "You sure our radiation shield will hold?" "She's had worse... As long as we don't linger around too long we'll be fine!" "Okay... It's not often we find ourselves so close to an O-type, let's get what we need and get out of here." "...It's gorgeous out there, isn't it." "Yeah... It is."

Oh look, an artfight against @merystic.bsky.social ! Clothes count, right? Decided to try my hand at 3D modeling the clothing she's drawn her avali in! Can't guarantee I'm going to be able to do more stuff like this for artfight but it was fun to do and time myself! artfight.net/attack/15801...

If someone asks if you play minecraft and then asks you to join their modded server, block and report them and warn mutual friends. Their account was probably compromised. The scammer hides a malicious program in the modpack.

One of the furry community's originals, Roz Gibson, is in really big trouble. She is in kidney failure, and needs a donor, so please reskeet. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1138...

I’ve thought long and hard about making this post, but really, at this point, I don’t have much to lose. Desperate times, and all that.

TLDR version: I need a kidney transplant, and I’m looking for a donor. Read below for all the gory details.

Since late 2019, right before Covid hit, I’ve been battling a serious illness. I’ve been kind of cagey about what exactly is wrong, for a number of reasons, but here’s the truth—I’m in full kidney failure.

There is no history of this in my family, so when the symptoms began appearing I didn’t recognize them until it was too late. By the time I went to a doctor my kidney function had dropped into the single digits. Most kidney failure is caused by diabetes or high blood pressure—I got some weird kidney disease I can’t even pronounce and never heard of: Oxalate Nephropathy.

By adopting some dietary changes and careful monitoring, I was able to limp along with reduced kidney function for several years. But you don’t appreciate how much your kidneys do to keep you healthy until they stop working. There’s constant fatigue and nausea, and a general feeling of unwellness that never goes away.

But eventually I lost even what minimal function I had left, which left the end of the line for kidney disease: dialysis. As of this point I’ve been on dialysis for about 3 years. Let me tell you—dialysis is its own special kind of hell that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

But even that is just a stop-gap measure, and my condition is continuing to get worse. Despite this, I’m trying my best to live as normal a life as possible. I’m extremely lucky I have a job that’s willing to allow me 9 hours a week for dialysis, so I’m still working. On weekends I work on my art and comics, and one or two days a month I do my volunteer work at the bird-banding site. I can even travel to see my family—if I arrange for dialysis at a local clinic ahead of time.

All of that is done while trying to deal with the symptoms of kidney failure. I’ve known 4 people who were on dialysis—none of them worked or really did much of anything, and at this point they’re all dead, which doesn’t really give me a lot of hope for my future.

Which brings us to the point of all this—I desperately need a kidney transplant. That is the only thing that will give me a chance at a relatively normal life. I’ve been approved and on the transplant list for a few years, but the waiting period in California is very long. By the time I get to the top of it, I may be too sick to get one. Right now I’m still in relatively good condition, comparatively. A transplant from a living donor lasts much longer and is better in every way than one you get from a deceased donor.

Unfortunately, everyone in my immediate family is too old or has other health problems that preclude donation. So this post is a desperate attempt to find anyone willing to donate. I realize donating a kidney is a lot different than giving ten bucks to a GoFundMe, but as I said at the beginning, at this point I don’t have much to lose by asking.

Here is the living donor site: https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-.....t/living-donor

You can inquire and even arrange to donate completely anonymously if that’s what you want. Hopefully there’s a Jack Salem fan out there who wants to see the stories (and the artist) continue for years to come.

That is all.

That feeling when the clouds roll past. #VRChat 🌐: "Cloud Flight" by @hiyu.bsky.social

A black, white and turquoise novavern (wyvern novabeast) stands atop a tall mountain gesturing a wing out toward the clouds over the sea with the sun shining in the sky and against the water.

The novavern turns away from the camera to see the clouds having moved much closer to them, almost completely obscuring the view of the ocean and completely blocking the sun.

The novavern looks to the right of the frame in awe as the clouds move around them, darkening the area around them with a diffused shadow.

HIYU 🚀@hiyu.bsky.social · last mo.

Quest (pic 1) and iOS (pics 2 & 3) are on the way! #VRChat There’s limitations due to the lack of a depth buffer, and the cloud shadow texture isn’t working yet, but we’re getting somewhere! (Quest Pro & iPhone 16. The Quest one looks considerably nicer in the photo compared to in-game…)

VRChat screenshot taken on a Quest Pro, of Hiyu pointing at his volumetric clouds shader in the background. The clouds look considerably nicer in this image compared to in-game.

Screenshot taken on iOS (iPhone 16) of rising sun casting light through the clouds in the distance.
