![]() ![]() I found a great intro to XGen course from Jesus FC, which got me up and running with guides/splines XGen workflow. Of course, since 2011, the internal Disney Animation version of XGen has developed along its own path and gained capabilities and features beyond Autodesk’s version of XGen, but the basics are still similar enough that I figured I wouldn’t have too difficult of a time adapting. XGen’s origins as a Disney Animation technology explain why XGen’s authoring workflow uses Ptex for expressions. XGen was originally developed at Disney Animation and is used extensively on Disney Animation feature films Autodesk licensed XGen from Disney Animation and incorporated XGen into Maya’s standard feature set in 2011. I chose to use XGen in part because it’s built into Maya, and also because I already have some familiarity with XGen thanks to my day job at Disney Animation. To make the hair in this project, I chose to use Maya’s XGen plugin, which is a generator for arbitrary primitives, including but not limited to curves for things like hair and fur. The last time I did anything with making CG hair was about a decade ago, and I did a terrible job back then, so I wanted to figure out how to make passable CG hair first because I saw the hair as basically a make-or-break problem for this entire project. With this plan in mind, the first problem I tackled was creating a completely new hairstyle for the character. The major changes I wanted to make to take the rig away from its default look were to add glasses, completely redo the hair, simplify the outfit, and shade the outfit completely differently from its default appearance. I figured that most of the other entries into the challenge were going to use the provided character in more or less its default configuration and look, so I decided that I’d try to take the rig further away from its default look and instead use the rig as a basis for a bit of a different character. ![]() I’ve gotten a lot busier recently with personal life stuff, so I knew I wasn’t going to have as much time to spend on this challenge, which meant I needed to come up with a relatively straightforward simple concept and carefully choose what aspects of the challenge I was going to focus on. ![]() One of the first things I discovered was that I had to scale down the rig’s mouth and teeth a bit just to bring things back into more normal proportions.Īfter playing with the rig for a few evenings, I started thinking about what I should make if I did enter the challenge after all. The model itself has a head that’s proportionally a bit on the large side, and the mouth is especially large, which is part of why the facial rig gets so creepy so fast. I think part of the problem is just the overall character design the rig is based on a young Natalie Portman’s character from the movie Léon: The Professional, and the character in that movie is… something of an unusual character, to say the least. I discovered really quickly that the Mathilda rig is reasonably flexible, but the flexibility meant that the rig can go off model really fast, and also the face can get really creepy really fast. I originally wasn’t planning on entering this challenge, but I downloaded the base assets anyway because I was curious about playing with the rigged character a bit. Unlike in previous challenges though, this time around Pixar also provided a rigged character in the form of the popular open-source Mathilda Rig, to be incorporated into the final entry somehow.Īlthough my day job involves rendering characters all of the time, I have really limited experience with working with characters in my personal projects, so I got to try some new stuff!Ĭonsidering that I my time spent on this project was far more limited than on previous RenderMan Art Challenges, and considering that I didn’t really know what I was doing with the character aspect, I’m pretty happy that my final entry won third place in the contest! This RenderMan Art Challenge followed the same format as usual: Pixar supplied some base models without any uvs, texturing, shading, lighting, etc, and participants had to start with the supplied base models and come up with a single final image. I wasn’t initially planning on participating this time around due to not having as much free time on my hands, but after taking a look at the provided assets for this challenge, I figured that it looked fun and that I could learn some new things, so why not?Īdmittedly participating in this challenge is why some technical content I had planned for this blog in the fall wound up being delayed, but in exchange, here’s another writeup of some fun CG art things I learned along the way! Last fall, I participated in my third Pixar’s RenderMan Art Challenge, “Magic Shop”! ![]()

![]() The post gained over 50,000 retweets within a day. On January 2nd, 2019, Netflix posted a tweet warning people against hurting themselves while attempting to participate in the challenge. #BirdboxChallenge /lDr3RH5yVl- Timothy DeLaGhetto January 1, 2019Īccording to a Fox News article published on January 2nd, 2018, no serious injuries related to the challenge had been reported. The challenge also prompted an appearance of jokes and comedy sketches mocking its concept. On December 27th, YouTube channel Gravity1media posted a challenge compilation (shown below, right).Īs the challenge rose in popularity, recordings of incidents involving blindfolded participants emerged online. A video posted by YouTuber Morgan Adams on December 30th, 2018, in which she spent 24 hours blindfolded, gained 2.1 million views within five days (shown below, left). Starting December 24th, 2018, videos in which participants attempted to perform everyday tasks while blindfolded began appearing on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. On the next day, the photograph was circulated heavily across social networks, with the hashtag appearing in numerous posts. In the post, the hashtag #BirdBoxChallenge was used. On December 23rd, 2018, Facebook user Lamborghini Law posted a photograph of himself holding hands with two children, all blindfolded. ![]() In the following days, several other streamers reported receiving similar challenges from Netflix. On December 6th, 2018, Twitch streamer geekgg tweeted about being challenged by Netflix ANZ Twitter to take part in the #BirdBoxChallenge by attempting to survive a Crash Bandicoot level while wearing a blindfold (shown below, left). The plot of the film follows a woman, played by Sandra Bullock, and her two children, who must make it through a forest and a river while wearing blindfolds. In other words, don't let watching the movie Bird Box or the Bird Box Challenge lead you to do something that may kill yourself.On December 21st, 2018, Netflix-produced film Bird Box premiered on the platform following a brief theatrical run. Most of all, don't try something potentially dangerous in an effort to have your video go viral. If you happen to bump into or hit anything, take time to double-check and make sure you didn't really hurt yourself. Proceed slowly and carefully because it takes time for your other senses to become accustomed and compensate. Pay attention to any usual feelings that you may develop such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or even hallucinations, which studies have shown may occur. Make sure you get proper assistance and instructions. Remove any potentially dangerous obstacles. Don't underestimate how disorienting wearing a blindfold can be. If you ever choose to wear a blindfold, listen to the warnings about being careful. This also can demonstrate how much you depend appropriately and inappropriately on visual cues to make assumptions and decisions every day and how underdeveloped your other senses such as listening may be. When you are not wearing the blindfold, you have to be able to communicate instructions effectively without relying on visual cues. When you are wearing the blindfold, you have to learn how to listen, follow instructions, and trust others to steer you properly. This may include picking up different items and moving and organizing them in different ways. Instead, the thought is that wearing a blindfold may help enhance and appreciate the use of other senses and non-visual communication.įor example, a leadership and team building game called "blindfold pickup" entails blindfolding one person at a time and having others guide the person to perform different tasks without touching him or her. ![]() That would be a strange way to spice up romance. In these cases, the purpose of blindfolding is not to watch someone stumble around and into things. In fact, some people have recommended trying blindfolds in places ranging from the boardroom, for leadership and team building exercises, to the bedroom, for bonding and maybe a little excitement, a la the movie Basic Instinct. After all, the kids' game "Pin the Tail On the Donkey" is not that dangerous as long as you clear away any potentially dangerous obstacles, don't let the person roam around unattended, and don't use a real donkey. ![]() Wearing a blindfold in itself is not necessarily a terrible thing. Y'all doing this #Birdbox Challenge? /Yjx86Ex55fĬan you see the potential problems with this challenge? Enough people end up in emergency rooms each day falling, running into walls, and impaling themselves while not wearing blindfolds. ![]() ![]() Left-handed path practitioners descend towards union with the divine to obtain godhood status, with godlike powers of their own, having reunited with the ultimate divine source-energy then once there, taking one more step separating from that divinity, out of this creation into a new creation of their own making, with themselves as the sole divinity of the new universe, apart from the previous creation. Left-handed path practitioners embrace the dark as well as the light in order to invoke the alchemical formula solve et coagula ("dissolve and precipitate"), confronting the negative in order to transmute it into desirable qualities. ![]() On the other hand, left-handed path practitioners do not see this as the ultimate aim but a step towards their goal. In Solomon's lesser key, they embrace the light and try to annihilate anything they regard as "dark" or "evil". Right-handed path practitioners tend to work towards ascending their soul towards ultimate union (or reunion) with the divine source, returning to heaven, allegorically alluded to as restoration or climbing back up the ladder after the fall of man. Īnother distinguishing characteristic separating the two is based upon the aim of the practitioner. Carroll, have stressed that both paths can be followed by a magical practitioner, as essentially they have the same goals. Some contemporary occultists, such as Peter J. ![]() In more recent definitions, which base themselves on the terms' origins in Indian tantra, the right-hand path (RHP, or dakṣiṇācāra), is seen as a definition for those magical groups that follow specific ethical codes and adopt social convention, while the left-hand path (LHP, or vamamarga) adopts the opposite attitude, espousing the breaking of taboo and the abandoning of set morality. Other practitioners state the difference between the two is that the desired outcome of the right is to be beside God and to serve him, while the left believe in self-deification and bow to no one. Other occultists have criticised this definition, believing that the left–right dichotomy refers merely to different kinds of working and does not necessarily connote good or bad magical actions. In some definitions, the left-hand path is equated with malicious black magic, while the right-hand path is equated with benevolent white magic. ![]() This terminology is used by various groups involved in the occult and ceremonial magic. In Western esotericism, left-hand path and right-hand path are two opposing approaches to magic. The figure of Baphomet, as depicted by Éliphas Lévi in Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (1856), has been adopted by some as a symbol of left-hand path belief systems ![]() ![]() ![]() This is improved by completing basic stretching exercises regularly. Flexibility in the back and shoulders is also essential to allow the body to create the shapes needed in tumbling moves. ![]() Building up the muscles in the back, arms and legs gives them the strength and power to complete the moves. Tumblers start out preparing their bodies by taking time to learn basic flexibility and strength exercises, which help prepare and protect the body during routines. Trampolines and springboards are also used to teach and practice aerial skills before they skills are performed on the floor. Coaches use lots of additional landing mats when beginners start to progress to harder skills to ensure a safe landing. Competitive tumbling takes place on a sophisticated 25-meter sprung track, which assists the athletes with the high level dynamic skills they perform. Be patient and consistent, and practice with professionals in adult tumbling classes in Dubai.Tumbling can be learned safely in any area with matting, usually in a gymnasium. Remember, advanced tumbling skills take time and practice to develop. Work with a coach or watch online tutorials to ensure you use the correct form and execution for each move. In addition to building strength and conditioning, practicing proper techniques for tumbling moves is important. Start with basic trampoline exercises and progress to more advanced moves as you build your skills. Incorporate stretching and flexibility exercises into your routine, such as split stretches and bridge exercises.Ī trampoline can help you develop your aerial awareness and improve your ability to execute flips and twists. To perform tumbling moves, you must be flexible and have a good range of motion. Sprints, burpees, and jump rope are a few examples. You can improve these areas by using conditioning drills in your training program. To do advanced tumbling routines, you must have exceptional strength and endurance. Examples of plyometrics exercises include box jumps, jump squats, and depth jumps. ![]() Plyometrics exercises greatly improve your explosive power and help you execute advanced tumbling moves. If you are looking to advance your tumbling skills, there are several exercises that you can do to improve your technique and build strength. Only attempt skills that are within your abilities and with good spotting. Tumbling can be dangerous, so always practice in a safe environment with proper equipment and supervision. Gradually work your way up to more difficult skills, building on the foundation of your basic skills. A coach can provide personalized instruction, feedback, spotting, and safety tips. Working with a coach or taking tumbling classes can be very helpful in advancing your skills. Practice consistently and set aside dedicated time to work on specific skills. Tumbling requires practice and repetition to improve. ![]() Stretch regularly to improve your flexibility, focusing on the muscles used in tumbling, such as the hamstrings, quads, and hip flexors. Incorporate strength training exercises into your routine, such as push-ups, squats, lunges, and planks.įlexibility is another key aspect of tumbling. Tumbling requires a lot of strength, particularly in the core, arms, and legs. Take the time to master the basic skills before moving on to more advanced ones. Focus on the appropriate form and execution of each skill and adjust as needed. Here are some ways to advance your tumbling: Focus On Technique The bilateral motor abilities of children who tumble also improve, as do their balance, coordination, power, agility, and athleticism. Tucks, cartwheels, backbends, rolls, summersaults, handstands, leg splits, back flips, and round-offs are some of the most popular tumbling maneuvers. Power tumbling, or floor gymnastics, is where athletes combine artistic gymnastics with trampoline skills without needing equipment or support. Tumbling is a physically demanding activity that requires strength, flexibility, and coordination. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gone are the swooning camera movement, hyperfrantic energy, quicksilver editing, neon-drenched color palette, and reams of glitter. ![]() Euphoria’s first of two one-off specials, “Trouble Don’t Always Last,” seeks to continue the evolution of Rue’s character - parsing out the weight of her addiction and potential futures - even as the trappings and rhythm of the show are markedly different.ĭue to the necessities of filming in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, writer, director, and creator Sam Levinson was forced to pare down his usual stylings. Once it does, Rue turns to drugs once again in order to sand off the edges of her existence. Her impetuous decision to run away from the enclave of her suburban life with Jules (Hunter Schafer) in the finale falters due to a mix of hesitancy and understanding the reality of the situation. Likewise, the violent sexual session that Jules has with Tyler while reaching out for Rue is also fictional and probably reflective of Nate being the person behind the persona.Last year, Euphoria left its protagonist and narrator, Rue Bennett (Zendaya), in a dark place of deep yearning. The encounters between Jules and Tyler were all imaginations that played out in Jules’s head. However, all of Jules’s sexual fantasies that played out in the New York apartment never actually happened. She even claims to still be in love with him, knowing that it was a predator like Nate who had been talking to her the whole time. Jules claims Tyler was the best sex she ever had. The rest of the episode unfolds as a combination of dream, nightmare, and reality. What parts of Euphoria’s Special Episode Part 2 was Jules’s imagining? Unsurprisingly, the pure weight of it all has pushed Jules to escape, and so Jules physically leaves for New York. And above all else, Jules is still in a phase of self-discovery as a Transwoman. Additionally, Jules mourns the relationship she had with her online love Tyler, who was really Nate catfishing her. It is immediately clear how overwhelming it can be for a teenage girl to balance two people she loves in her life and the drug addiction that intrudes on their relationships. That very Halloween night, when Jules runs away, she discovers that her mom relapsed and is in the hospital. ![]() Jules’s mother has also been battling with addiction like Rue and had been making attempts at reconciliation. The special reveals that while Jules and Rue were dating last season, Jules had also dealt with her mother’s return. While Euphoria has effortlessly unraveled Rue to uncover the hurt under the drug use, Jules has been struggling to carry the weight of her problems behind the scenes. We also get to see why Jules was so eager to run away, and it seems that it all has to do with Jules going through more than we, the audience, have seen. ![]() We now learn that Jules is grounded by her Dad for running away but is also forced to take part in mandatory therapy. The last time we saw Jules, she had abandoned Rue to jump on a train headed to New York. Euphoria’s Special Episode Part 2 focuses on Jules’s first therapy session and what’s been going on in her head. HBO delivered a two-part special with the first episode centered on Rue’s sobering chat with her sponsor, Ali, following a relapse. While it doesn’t look like Euphoria‘s second season will be gracing our TV screens anytime soon, due to the pandemic, the creators have prepared a nice appetizer to hold us down in the meantime. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shipment shall mean the act by which the merchandise is physically placed in the possession of the carrier.īeyond those legal and regulatory concerns, receiving notification that your order has "shipped" when in fact it has not is just a terrible buyer experience that erodes trust in the platform. The US Code of Federal Regulations Part 435- Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise gives this explicit definition of "shipment": Some people might say it's simply a semantics argument to split hairs between "tracking provided" and "shipped" - so why is the language eBay uses for notifications so important?įirst and foremost, when it comes to legal and regulatory matters governing everything from the FTC 30 Day Mailing rule to insurance coverage, carrier service commitments/terms of service and more - it all comes down to the simple question of who is in physical possession of the package and when that physical possession occurs. Poor Bruce now has to wait an additional 4 days for his new toy, which is like a whole month in dog years. At that point eBay updated the tracking to show "shipped" on June 29 and changed the estimated delivery date to July 5. Miraculously, a few hours later the package was finally actually taken to the post office and received an acceptance scan. So I waited.and waited and on Wednesday there was still no acceptance scan and no indication the order had actually shipped, so I sent a message to the seller. ![]() So I patiently waited until the end of day and checked back only to find the order status page showed the much more accurate designation "tracking provided" - meaning a label had been printed, but the package was still not in the possession of the carrier.Īt this point, eBay still showed the latest estimated delivery date as July 1. My on site notification said "shipped" while the email confirmation used the more ambiguous "is being shipped" - which is it eBay?Īs a seller, I understand that this notification is triggered as soon as the tracking number is entered and that in most cases the tracking will show activity within a few hours once the package has been accepted by the carrier. The first thing I noticed was a slight discrepancy in verbiage between the website and the confirmation email. On Monday morning I received a notification my order had shipped with an estimated delivery of June 30 - July 1 and here's where the trouble started. The order was placed on a Sunday and to my surprise the seller sent a message almost immediately confirming the order would ship on Monday, which is what I expected given the 1 day handling time stated on the listing but it's always nice to get reassurance - so far so good. I'll save comments on the search and checkout side of things for another day and instead focus on just the post-purchase experience with this order. This is Bruce - Bruce loves tennis balls, but unfortunately even the toughest ones only last about 5 minutes with this power chewer, so I headed to eBay to see what kind of indestructible dog toys we could find as a replacement. Warning: gratuitous cute dog picture ahead!
