Went to see the IMAX release of “Kiki’s Delivery Service”. Haven’t watched it as often as other Ghibli films but every time I do I am always blown away by it. The way Kiki flies her broom using her whole body to swerve and kicking the buildings to climb makes it feel so believable.

The coffee bean shop I go to closed down this month. It’s such a shame because their beans were delicious and affordable. I'm going to savor every single bean until they're gone.

A small, matte black teardrop-shaped bowl filled with roasted coffee beans. The bowl sits on a flat, black digital weighing scale, which is placed on a light-colored wooden surface.

Recently discovered #plasticity. It is like Fusion360 and Blender + HardOps joined forces. It makes hard surface modeling so much easier and faster. My only wish is that it had dedicated tools for quick kitbashing.

Played around with #Live2D and #VTuberStudio last month. FaceID tracking is more stable compared to webcam tracking but the limited expression parameters ARKit can offer does limit the range of expressions you can achieve. I hope a better expression standard can come along in the near future.

Final week of the #LookBack art exhibit. Very cool to see director notes & storyboards behind the anime short. Seeing physical recreation of rooms and props were pretty cool. I wonder if it was used in the live action adaptation set to release this year.

Large-scale sketches of a female character hang prominently on the left, alongside storyboard panels. A long, narrow hallway recreating scene from the anime. Stacks of sketchbooks are piled on the floor. A closed wooden door is visible at the end of the hallway.A jacket displayed on a hanger. The back of the jacket features bold vertical stripes and large Japanese characters ("藤野" - Fujino, the main character's name). Sketches and artwork are visible on the surrounding white walls.
