We're like a little community of people from Something Awful forums mostly. Anyone can add a youtube/dailymotion/vimeo/whatevs link, and people can skip it if it's bad.

You get to see a bunch of entertaining stuff you might not normally see. I got into Star Trek TNG, X-Files, and even fucking wrestling from just getting high and watching goontu.be for hours.

But yeah, I'm trusting y'all to not just upload a thousand hours of dicks, because we've already done that. Just sit back and watch a bit, and maybe later on if you find a cool video just add it. I think the value of this comes from the community, and I think you all are pretty great, and I've been here since I was 11.

Dunno if it's for better or worst, either way I blame the CC for all of my problems and issues. If I had never joined I can only guarantee myself that I would 100% definitely have been a super successful playboy billionaire with a wicked robot body that can extend the limbs like Bender from Futuramaâ,,¢.

sorry I meant happy new year sorry typo sorry fuck

Look it up.

Pirate and learn ToonBoom or TVPaint. Flash is going nowhere but down, and it's a really shitty animation program anyway. Learn something actually designed for flash makers and not the worst advertisers in the world.

I've been working on and off it for about a year now, so I'm glad it's finally done! Here's my breakdown:

Oh and this completely counts as my Clock Day 2015 submission. There's a clock on that character but you can't see it, trust me.

Ask me anything about never being able to die due to the pride I feel now and forever.

When entropy consumes the universe, the only thing that will remain is my pride, which is basically like a horcrux, so I'll be alive.

Unrelated, but can we also talk about the philosophy behind individuality? Like there are things called psychological zombies which will react when they get pinched, but won't actually feel pain. Anyone can be a psychological zombie, apart from me, except that is exactly what a psychological zombie would say so you can't trust me. It's a bit like Solipsism, the philosophy about the only provable consciousness is your own (my own), since you can never observe another person's observation and confirm they are indeed a conscious observer, you can only ever guess that they are since they share a lot of similar surface attributes.

So now we have individuality defined as the conscious you (me), the observer, you can even sit in the back seat sometimes and watch your body and life move on which is what's called depersonalization, but you're still conscious and observing, I want to explore a quandary. 

If your consciousness is made somehow from your brain, which is the primary area of your body which cells don't die and get reborn over your life time, and we split the brain straight down the middle, and merge you with a two halves of a perfect clone of your brain, which one is the real you? Both of you will swear you're the one true conscious, but you both are, even though you once existed as one entity, but at the moment of cutting, which half do you go down? It doesn't make sense that you go down both, but logically that's the only answer.

If this is a bit confusing, this is a really cool animation that's a great intro to concepts of self: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdxucpPq6Lc
It's about a teleporter that works by perfectly cloning you somewhere else, using different matter, then destroying the original.

What the fuck is up with that I mean seriously.

For some reason there's some javascript thing that gets triggered when the page is fully loaded to hide the reply box. It might have something to do with BBcode settings? I think vbulletin hides reply boxes to make way for wsiagg whatever boxes depending on your settings or something.

Here's a screenshot:


This thread is an actual "how do i post?" thread

Thanks in advance.

Just had memories of that story. At one point I tried to convince the rest of the Clock Crew that I had been on the run from the mafia for some reason and got thrown off a cliff and given robot legs.

Much has changed, I'm actually on the very last project of my 3 year computer animation course, the big enchilada. In just over a month, all the wonderful friends I've made over the last three years will disperse, amongst the world and spreading joy and animated adverts, directly into your eyeballs thanks to the faceboculus rift.

The first year was great, and it was about that time I started to transition away from here. It's getting quieter over here, I think I missed the drama from the old CCs, or maybe I just grew out of it; I don't know. Clubs and alcohol were my two best buds back then, I'd never done this before, gone out with mates all the time and get completely fucking wasted. There were house parties and things I went to, but all I had ever experienced was a small Scunthorpe town, with only two or three places to really choose from.

University itself was great. I think I was starting to work myself over the Dunningââ,¬â€œKruger effect from being the best computer smith in Scunthorpe. Everyone here was amazing, they were all nerdy too! People knew what I meant when I talked about Flash, or even basic computer stuff. Not only that, but everyone had their own unique skills, something they were great in, something they loved. They have been such a great learning experience, I feel like I know so much more now, thanks to all of them; I just hope maybe they learnt a little something from me too.

Halfway through my first uni summer holidays, I was hanging out with my mate. After smoking some kick-ass blunts, we were chilling in my room/parent's attic, relaxing on a bean bag and a deck chair. Black Ops Zombies was playing on the projector, it was fantastic.

And I get a call. At first I thought it was a joke, a shit, shitty, joke. Tom was run over by a fucking taxi driver. Shit fucking sucked. The fucking taxi driver got a Ã,£30 gf d u a god fucking god damnit fine you piece of shit.

Fucking. Jesus. It wasn't too much good after that either. It wasn't good for a long while.

I stopped going to clubs, they quickly lost their appeal. Unfortunately I lost a bit of my confidence I built up from the first year to attend many events. I tried going to a fetish meet up again, but my anxiety peaked and I just fucking legged it back home on my bike. I did wear a high vis jacket though. The people there were pretty cool, way cooler than the old dudes into boots back in Maidstone.

That what fucking sucked, not being able to do the things I love just because of some chemical in my brain. It's still there, gnawing away, but I have it distracted for now. I have this twitch, it's not anything specific, but I will think of an embarrassing moment and I will immediately, involuntarily, either curse, wish death, contort my body, or shout a random number. It was really bad last year, and it started happening for angry moments, too.
 
But here I am. It's been about two years now, and I have changed so much. I went into a deep introspective coma for about all of last year. I didn't like the people I was living with, especially me. I was angry, angry at people who didn't deserve it, and angry at people who did. But if there was thing I was going to do, was let all this shit be for nothing.

I feel different now. There are some bad things that have come about, but there are good things. I am a quieter person now, I take a while to think about my words before using them. Counselling helped a little, even though my anxiety pulled me away from there. Now I am always questioning my own thoughts, but sometimes I find myself paralysed.

It's also made me more organised. Maybe not as a direct result, but I've certainly taken into consideration, my own future, more. Now I spend time organising my schedule, making sure I have time to play and work. At the moment I feel a bit socially isolated, which is why I'm aiming to perhaps move and work in San Francisco, or maybe the Netherlands. The one thing I crave now, more then all else, is change. I want to step foot into a new world, and explore a whole new set of ideas and experiences. Maybe my dream is a little far off for now, but right now it's giving me a good target to hit.

Anyway, sorry I got a little bit side tracked there. You came into this thread to see what I have been up to ever since I made up that story about being a 27 year old married to a chipmunk clock, who was no-where to be seen while I was chucked off a cliff and somehow managed to survive to post about it on the internet.

I've been working on a lot of things, and I've been getting better at a lot of things. My showreel may get you up to some-what date up to last summer, when I made it to try for a million abroad internships.

Some of that stuff is from my foundation year. I remember doing that traditional animation you see for a second in there. I never even turned up to the University, I think I gave up going for registration. I'd just spend all my time wanking in my room, getting a little bit too deep into my weird kinks, high as a kit-kat. The animation itself was fun, I'd just get high with a lightbox, drawing the same, but different image for hours. It was a fun experience, A++, would recommend.

Real university has opened up my mind a bit more. I've become a lot more social, although right now I'm in a bit of a social drought, due to the major deadlines up and coming, and how everyone is tucked away in a room somewhere, working as hard as they are masturbating. I'm in a group right now for my major I'm in a group with three other amazing people, artists of various specialities, and we're making a game!

I'm the rigger, I've never done any rigging before this either. It's so much fun, you're basically making a puppet. You rig up all the little handles to the skeleton you've made, and then play with them to see if they're good. You can get creative too, adding in animation that can be controlled with a button for a variety of points. You're basically making a creature that animates itself, with a bit of help from the animator, who is an amazing animator, can I say.

My only real animation this year was entirely motion captured. I did a quick test using the rig from my group project, it actually didn't look too bad for the low amount of time it took to do. The tracker stopped being tracked towards the end but I thought I could fix that by using better markers and camera.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBh3yqH3TW0


This next one is about 8 minutes long, it took about two or three weeks to set up, I spent a lot longer on the research. To be honest, I haven't even see this one all the way through. I ran out of time towards the end, so I couldn't get in the things I wanted, the things that would make it not so fucking boring. Everything was rushed, I got the first voice actor I found to read out the first script I wrote down. The file ended up being three times bigger than I expected, but it was fine, I just had to make the system animate itself.

The facial capture is a complete mess. I thought by including a big sticker on my forehead, I'd be able to track the corners and get rotational and positional data of my head. That was true, but unfortunately I lacked the time and the math to work out persepective matrix transformations. It's times like that I sometimes wonder about my choice to work on the technical course at this university. So since I was all cocky, I moved my head around like a motherfucker while recording; I could've stabilized my head, but of course I would lose the head tracking data.

Kinect was fun, at least a heck of a lot more fun than spending 12 hours mouthing someone else's words, though that was a bit fun too. It took the software about a day running on my computer to smooth out all the data, it was a bit shifty looking, but I'm on a budget here. I actually have all the data I need to finish it off and do some proper calculations with the data to make it look about a thousand times better and make it less boring.

Looking back on making the face animation is kinda fun. You can see the sun drift right past my window.

I did a couple Let's Plays over summer too, with my mate. They have a bit of animation in them too, which he helped make.
We play worms.

My other project, my master class, I picked because I wanted to learn sculpting. Now, the thing about master class is that it's supposed to be a reality simulator, so you should really pick something you have experience and confidence in, I had neither in sculpting. I'm glad I chose sculpting though, it was pretty great that I could get high, watch online streaming synched with internet buddies, and do work at the same time. My Cintiq finally had a good use! Could really use a good arm for it though, just a matter of affording it.



It didn't come out too bad. Took well over 150 hours to complete, but most of that was just learning zBrush, having never touched it before. Well I had touched it, but I decided it was too difficult and left on a shelf in my mind. It's not great, but I feel the learning experience outshines the result, since I could do it again better and faster by magnitudes.

Right now, besides procrastinating from starting exam revision, I'm working on the major project. There's a whole bunch of stuff I'd like to show you, but it's rather unorganised at the moment. When the game is done, we'll have time to show all sorts of cool stuff we got going on here. Right now you'll have to settle for my unfinished model of one of the characters, with an attached rig, half done.



I've been learning to play the ukulele! I can play the theme to Sherlock, Mario, and a whole bunch of Zelda songs.

It's rad as fuck clocks, you gotta believe me.

I find Japanese a bit easier to learn and find resources for. Mainly I want to know Japanese for the animes and internet forums, open myself up to new cultures and steal all their ideas and that. I want to learn Dutch so I could eventually maybe live in Amsterdam but maybe not I dunno.

He was PMing me on this site to do so.

FUCK

when my best friend died he called me a shit head in front of my friends and antagonized me every chance he got.

whoops, I mean butts.

I don't mean every conversation is slow, I mean the internet as a whole is like one giant, really slow conversation. The topics are basically the memes, popular things to talk about, and slowly more and more people collectively decide what's right and trade information. Much like how humanity is like one giant super organism and we're all it's cells.

Is any of that not stupid? I keep getting spiritualist thoughts like this and never really know what to make of them.

Children will still be able to view porn on Reddit and the Daily Mail, so this does absolutely fuck all besides implement the foundations needed for censoring the internet. He also wants to be able to ban "extreme" porn, such as BDSM, fisting, he wants to inspect search terms and put you on a list if you search the wrong.

The announcement coincides royal baby shit to get it buried.

The only two parties that will ever get voted in the UK are Tories and Labour, both are terrible and conservative, with the Tories being super conservative fuck the poor and Labour being more focused on the working class, sort of.

"Hi. I think you're very attractive and I would like to have sex with you.

I mean, I am looking for love on here, but in the meantime I would really like to meet you, undress you and shag you as long and as often as you wanted. (Assuming you did want of course!)

I'm 39, I live just outside Salisbury in the New Forest. Please check out my profile and get in touch if you'd like to chat and/or fuck."

Later...

"I'm really sorry. That last message was a bit forward. I hope I didn't cause offence."
