When I was on the most western point of Ireland, the locals had trouble pronouncing or even remembering my name, so for the week I was there I was Bob. And to quote NoMeansNo: It’s weird being a Bob.
A colleague of mine, another Art Professor, asked me where I learned to become an Artist. For she did see me as one, meaning I think like an artist. But I did not go to Art School proper.

We did not get to a third week. I did finish a VR project I had been working on for years, but that is a different story.
Of course, all of you who follow me on Mastodon or Instagram have seen these videos already
I started the week epxloring the scuplting tools, which are pretty intuitive and work well.

Mainly on my own but my I have some help of my son who has been building car models in it for a while. The first day I played around getting some of the basics down and made this:
Day two was a dedicated to getting a hang of modeling, and, since I wanted to get to rigging, I made an easy to rig two legged creature

Apart from our car being totalled after my first week in Ohio, it has been a very positive experience. I was privileged to be part of the ACCAD community at The Ohio State University, where I spent six and a half weeks in person and collaborated remotely for the remainder of Spring.

Working kind of backwards, above is the last setup in my basement, for the opening scene
Did I say last setup? I needed one more: an effects shot. Setup shown above. This maybe five second shot took seven tries and almost two days to complete.

I only used materials I already had lying around in the basement for this test, so the total cost was $0. Not including labor of course. The alignment is not perfect but it works. I created 2K left/right stereoscopic video with it.
