I don't want to spoil it in case I can actually do this, so I'll say it's something bouncy, like a diving board or a palm tree or a dildo or a fishing pole, y'know, something with a kind of rubbery elastic up and down movement, bouncing under its own weight. I've definitely made cubes drop on each other with gravity in blender in the past, so I know the program can do this kind of thing without me having to manually animate it

update:
man it would be really easy to make a Tricky the Clown animation with this lol

Quote from: VCRClock on July 07, 2025, 09:38:52 PMI used to think the internet had made me pretty tough. I've seen goatse, I've seen 1guy1jar, 2girls1cup, you know, you can't offend me with porn right

so I accidentally had duckduckgo images safe search turned OFF and attempted to find 'calvin & hobbes doctor strip,' you know it's one of the strips where Watterson pretends he's drawing Mary Worth or something, and let me tell you I was offended by what popped up on my phone screen next

duckduckgo's image search is really amazing at absolutely drowning you in porn completely unexpectedly. it's like the only time safesearch has ever made sense to me in my life because like why censor shit who cares but if it's off you can search for like wizard of oz monkey gif =) and it'll be like do you mean sluts' giant gushing pussies in your face?

yeah

Quote from: PhantomCatClock on July 07, 2025, 06:51:10 PMprobably wouldn't've fallen in with the bad crowd if only you'd recycled keyframes like every commercial cartoon show in the universe. how do you get into animation without ever seeing a single one

in fairness I don't actually remember what the question was lol, it was just the answer that stuck with me
but now that you mention it shmorky's cartoons did always seem very flat. weird confluence of effort and skipping fundamentals

Quote from: FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK on July 06, 2025, 10:07:32 AMI shouldn't have to draw TWO pictures for every ONE keyframe that's utter horseshit.

shmorky (rip in piece) was once asked for some animation tips on shortcuts or reusing frames or something and replied "why do you want to get into animating if you don't like work? animation is nothing BUT work"

I think about that whenever I'm animating. "why did I get into this?" I wonder, "I don't like work"

Quote from: FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK on July 06, 2025, 09:59:24 AMgoogle image search their previous anime "bang bang bravern" and scroll for a minute. all of this will soon make sense.

is this as good* as it looks?

I know boob joke but is that a rattlesnake with hoofs? is it a giraffe? a dinosaur?

it's a dinosaur I think but like a sexy librarian dinosaur

Quote from: PhantomCatClock on July 06, 2025, 09:41:59 AMalso there you go probably shouldn't let the background turn white but whatever

hnnnnggghhhhhhhhhh the first episode of the The Summer Hikaru Died anime dropped on netflix and GOD it's really fucking good, what the fukk. hahhhh..... FUG

I know I keep posting about hikaru even though no one gives a shit but I don't have anyone cool to talk to about it with and  how is it so goodddhgvhgvjhgcvfhfvhbf it's a bl horror anime that's an adaptation of a manga that's still ongoing, it's not supposed to be Actually Good, on its fucking best day it should max out at Good Actually. I was all revved up to be extremely charitable and forgiving of it for being cheap and half-baked and instead it perfectly captures the tone and setting of the story, the sweltering oppressive heat of summer and endless chirping of cicadas, the twisting, kinetic animation and exaggerated framing for ordinary actions just adding to the disjointed narrative and mood that make you feel like you're going insane. it strays from the manga but all of its embellishments feel calculated and appropriate and add without taking away, like they added this extended tranquil montage of just everyday life and it's just fucking cinematographic, full stop, it feels like it belongs in like a paul thomas anderson or wong kar wai movie, and it goes a really long way into giving a sense of this sort of reversion to a false ordinary so when yoshiki has his quiet what the fuck am I doing panic attack it hits so much harder because you've been watching him sink into this kind of dimly unquestioning acceptance of something that's fundamentally at odds with not just a sane universe but what any person would feel like they should be doing in his situation
like the Dungeon Meshi anime was always going to be good because lol it's Studio Trigger, c'mon. who the fuck is "CygamesPictures"? how did this happen?

and I was like "how the hell do I google this"
so I tentatively did a duck duck go for elastic physics blender
oh, perfect! second result, "jiggle physics"




how long have I been using the internet man
what was I expecting lol

the flag of I Love Man

ok I posted that before watching the r&m easter episode, which I am watching right now. this episode sucks, and it sucks for the same reason and in the same way that the giant sperm episode and the thanksgiving episode and the numbericons episode sucked and I don't know why they keep doing this. it's basically just the gag from the nintendo wii south park episode where you have civilizational high stakes with multiple large involved parties that the viewers have never seen before with super deep lore that you couldn't possibly actually care about, mixed with the over the top violence from pickle rick, which was already just the over the top violence from the purge episode. it's so half-assed to just shove a ton of wacky shit and over the top violence in and the joke(?) is that you gloss over it all extremely quickly and blow through the plot extremely quickly. it's not a substitute for being clever!!

I still haven't turned on Rick & Morty the way I've been assuming I'm going to soon for several years but as they hit upward of 70 episodes I've decided their incredibly dumb episode naming and describing gimmick is stupid and I hate it. like it was funny once to give some episodes intentionally stupid uncreative titles where they just half-assedly shoved the words "rick" and "morty" into an existing title or turn of phrase but they just kept on doing it and now when I'm looking for an old episode and can barely remember the difference between season 5 and 6 and a good 10% of episodes are named RickMorting the Rick Morty Rick and the episode descriptions are "Crazy things. It's happening in this one, broh." it's like yes haha very funny motherfucker, is this the one where tammy dies or not

anyway I said all the to say, it's really funny that that one episode of Smiling Friends is called Pim Finally Turns Green but if they keep doing that sort of thing or even if they don't then in five years or so I might decide I actually hate it because it turns out that the convention of giving things descriptive titles and descriptions exists for a reason

"Las Meninas" by Diego Velázquez is incredibly eerie and I lowkey kind of hate it. feels like a nightmare in a way that intentional nightmare imagery doesn't

link because I lowkey kind of hate it

the towering looming empty space of the top half the painting with obscured decor, the fucked up inbred aristocracy faces, the way some of the figures but not all of them are looking directly at you, the two figures in the mirror(?) that kind of defy you to place them in the scene, the dog that looks like some kinda fucked up demon dog but then you look closer and realize he's actually just groggy and resting his chin on his chest the way dogs do sometimes when they're tired or have to sneeze but then you look away for a second or look even closer and he kinda seems like a demon again. what are the goddamn giant butterfly fasteners hanging from the ceiling, D? who is the stair man? who is the shadow monster man behind the inexplicable nun? why are YOU in this painting just off to the side painting a comically gigantic painting that we don't get to see? some kind of distraction so the devil children can seep into my nightmares?
