Yes, sad news indeed. So we should be remembering the good times, yes?

I don't think so... It's a derby Liverpool got beat by the Gunners on Thursday, albeit via penalties. A couple of the Liverpool players are now in isolation. Let's see how this evening's match goes against Aston Vanilla. Any team can beat any other team, regardless of form, on the day...

Red Sh1te? Should be an interesting one that... Don't forget, though, I'm not a real football fan because I stick up for both Everton and Liverpool when they are not playing each other

no so happy with this one:- I took one of my Chaotica flame fractal images and rendered it to 8000 x 8000 pixels but I think it still looks too obvious that it is an image within Blender. I think what I need to do next is try to recreate some similar nebula type stuff directly within Blender using "nodes." Basically, you can use nodes to create a procedure to make such stuff, apparently...

tru dat we just like to maon... ?

I agree with the punters about the whole hand ball thing though...

@Wibbles

For me, yes. That animation must have taken me around thirty hours to do from start to finish. Some of the time was spent researching the icosahedron. Each time I create a new project I try to learn stuff that I haven't done before. I had dabbled with armatures and bones before but this is the first time that I had animated a thing like this with them. So much time was also spent learning stuff about that too. If I started something like this from scratch again I could probably do it in about a third of the time.

On

some more abstract nonsense:-

I hope all goes okay Larry ?

I think you're right ?

another one still no becan I'm afraid ?

Limiting? Compression? What is that? Joking, of course, but I don't need to use it on my more "gentler" stuff ?

Stay positive, Wibbs, you never know, it could be the year that Everton finish top! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you ?

Getting there, Notes, getting there ?

shouldn't it be "on the planet?"

Aye!

I'm working on it...

okay, next one, not drone this time... Took me since this morning to dream this one up... More details in the video description:-

Okay, don't forget to mute the sound. Except Craig, cos he's heard it all before ?

Sorry, Bapu, I'm not able to reproduce the level of detail that is worthy of Becan. As soon as I reach the required level of competence you will hear about it here first. Until then I can only bring you silly cartoons of hot dog sausages dancing in a vat of molten chocolate ?

currently rendering what looks pretty much like three hot dog sausages in a vat of molten chocolate:- I suppose I should be a bit worried about that...
