New update to the BabylonDreams Kit
It now has a button “Copy/Paste Animated Channels”. Select two objects and it will copy the animated channels from the first object to the second one. Any channels it does not find on the second one will be reported for manual fixing.

Compositing Bites - learning compositing one node at a time
A new series on compositing by yours truly just went live on pixelfondue.
In this new series on compositing we will look at the very basic techniques of compositing. How compositing works under the hood. So if you want to grow your compositing skills beyond simply pressing a bunch of buttons and hope that the result is worthwhile stick around. I am going to work in Nuke, because it is very well suited for this “under the hood” way of working as it exposes a lot of technical info in its UI already.
Houdini 16 is looking pretty awesome. I really need to find the time to learn it one of these days. Houdini 16
My current posting workflow while on the go
Nick Parfene over in the Indie Microblogging Slack asked me to write about my posting workflow and since I haven’t written about how I blog for over three years it could do with an update.
Why change? First, why change the previous workflow? I got confused. Simple as that. My blogging schedule is erratic at best. And the old run and gun style workflow, while working, always left me scratching my head when I hadn’t touched it for a few months.
Today I started meditating again. It felt good. I really need to get a more regular schedule going again.
Bluffworks Chinos
My new Bluffworks Chinos just arrived and they are a great fit. Very comfortable to wear. The fabric is nicer on the skin then their regular travel pants and they feel a bit warmer as well, which is nice in the winter with temperatures of -10°C. Overall I am a very happy customer if it weren’t for the horrendous import tax and the slow customs processing, none of which is Bluffworks’ fault of course.
