So, let me get this straight: • People are rapidly being let go/losing their jobs (Thanks in part to both Capitalism and AI) • We've less jobs than there are people in their respective fields • Industries aren't willing to hire permanently and so there's no job security

Pixar Bears Brunt of Disney Studio Layoffs as Company Axes Several Hundred Staffers
Pixar Animation Studios, despite riding high on the success of summer blockbuster "Toy Story 5," was hit particularly hard in a wave of corporatewide layoffs at Disney.

Despite already grossing more than $1.2 billion at the box office this year, Pixar is among the divisions hit hardest by Disney’s latest layoffs. Sources tell us future films will be made by smaller teams under a new “long and lean” production model. www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-right...

@timsormin.bsky.social I had the pleasure of watching TennoCon on stream and it's genuinely so incredible to see you using the vfx rigs in the early stages of animation work!
A WIP vine with controls to guide it's growth! I've also been looking at texture adjustments related to its scale so the texture doesn't stretch too much as it grows! #maya #viewportvfx #vfx #animation
One of the future defence VFX rigs! It's hefty but fun!
Hooked up most of the attributes I'm wanting to have control over on this Hexagon Shield #VFX #Rig, here's an example of most of them! They'll include: - Appearance - Amount - Inner Hex - Outer Hex - Rotation (Debating if this will stay) - Opacity - Hex 1 Opacity - Hex 2 Opacity - Hex 3 Opacity
Really need to get back to making my viewport VFX rigs again! Hopefully soon, been sitting on a couple to put into a new pack
I love this essay very much!!!!

And another animation wrapped up! Wanted to focus on a special move sequence/style. Got to use a ton of VFX which was fun! Credit to Truong CG Artist for the Cyborg rig & Arthurnal for the NC11 rig! What do you think? #3danimation #animation #fightsequence #fighting #videogame

Adult games can no longer launch in Early Access on Steam. This is devastating for small projects (like my own!) because EA can be a much-needed lifeline while games are still in development
