Still can’t believe how much Apple Vision Pro Personas have evolved. Here’s a side-by-side comparison with Meta’s avatar system, pretty wild to see how far this tech has come.

This is the actual use case for machine-learning in game development.

Anyway I’ve been using CozyBlanket since my time at Apple and it’s great but any help to speed up retopology (like skinning, UVing and other busywork) is welcome. CB also needs the option to lock desired loops before relaxing…

Can't believe it's been 10 years since the release of Uncharted 4! Here's an excerpt from my 2017 Animation Exchange talk on creating the chase sequence.

同じく、SNKさんの新設モーションキャプチャースタジオでのリハーサル&PR映像撮影のときの様子。
「リョウ・サカザキと妹のユリが一緒に稽古してる風の演技」
というオーダーだったのでその場で作成。
こんな風に修行してたのか〜となんかほっこり☺️(←ただのファン)
それにしても、ゲーセンで初めて龍虎乱舞を出せたときは震えたな〜🕹️
