As always, very even handed and to the point. It's making me want to play with Jai something fierce.

We just released this awesome Control Rig Samples Pack for Unreal Engine.. Great for learning and animating in the engine as well as looking into the internals on what our awesome riggers have been doing with the latest Control Rig magic!! unrealengine.com/marketplace/en…

1960, Orson Welles explained how he wrangled complete creative control for his first film, Citizen Kane, as well as the value of “ignorance” to break through old ideas.

First two hours of wearing an Epic hoodie in San Fran on GDC week: Got asked for vbucks twice. Been asked if I could hear a pitch for a block chain game. Got invited out for drinks. Got shown a really good ramen place (by a Japanese customer.) It's going to be quite a week.

📣Introducing MetaHuman Animator, a new feature set that enables you to use an iPhone or stereo helmet-mounted camera to reproduce any facial performance as high-fidelity animation on #MetaHuman characters. Watch the live demo now: youtube.com/watch?v=teTroO… #GDC23

Excited to share what we've been up to! The Robot fight in the UEFN live demo was entirely rigged in #ControlRig and animated in #Sequencer in #UEFN!! Hats off to everyone involved in this exciting keynote!

Today is the first day in a week I don't have a crazy schedule. I'll be around the Unreal Engine booth this morning. Come say hi if you want to chat about #MetaHuman

I'm loving the conspiracy theories that are cropping up on how we faked the #MetaHuman Animator demo at the keynote, when we followed that with on the floor interactive demos at the booth for three days straight :)

This GDC was great. I've been at trade shows for decades, and while we're far from done, it feels like we're at least making progress. It made me genuinely happy to see so many people who clearly felt they could express themselves openly in look and speech.

I hadn't bought a AAA title at launch, or full price, in quite a while. I might not buy another for quite a while longer after this reminder:

MetaHuman Animator is here to help you unlock the storytelling power of high-fidelity facial animation. From performance to animation in minutes, with just an iPhone and a PC! It's available now! Learn more: unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/del…

The X name is so stupid, and the logo so ugly and unfamiliar, that it was bothering me on the home screen of my phone. I removed it, and therefore don't impulse check it any longer. I don't think this ever happened before (to me) with anything else.

The absolutely excellent Gabriella Krousaniotakis produced almost one hour of insightful educational content for us. She addresses A LOT of what clients routinely asked for more information about. If you're interested in #MetaHuman Animator it's a must watch.

I am delighted to announce publication of the 4th edition of Linear Algebra Done Right as an Open Access book. The electronic version is legally free to the world at linear.axler.net. That website also has links to pre-order the print version of the book. #linearalgebra

We all played Horizon Zero Dawn, and yet, we learned nothing.

I'm looking forward to vibe-coded implementations of trivial pathfinding being deployed into some major app or service.

Using "AI" to manage an experimental stack I can't be arsed reading about. What could possibly go wrong with strong checks like this?

ChatGPT-5 is definitely and considerably worse at every day-to-day task I had used it for semisuccessfully before. Simple log-keeping is completely broken. How does a company with so much money, free to operate at such losses, fuck up THIS badly?

Asked to remove some text from an image ChatGPT made interesting choices.
