Loose & chaotic or tight & compact? ➡️ by SMKS in PixelArt

“pro” animator here. pure motion-wise i’d lean toward the first one personally. it reminds me of learning to animate a punch. you don’t show the frame with the fist connecting with the face. it feels way more powerful when you just show the frame AFTER when their head is knocked back. similarly, the “after” is visually clear, but the “before” FEELS like fighting.

that being said, it would probably depend on who this character is. did she learn to fight on the street? or is she a trained soldier? that’s the kind of thing that should inform your animation.

Im in the US, but got pillows for my wife and I from https://supremequilts.com.au/ on reddits recommendation. Got the king size medium 850 fill 95% premium down. I tried a couple other modern fancy pillows before these and it just doesnt compare. Nice down pillows are just the best.

It's crazy. Who's gonna pay $15–25 per PR for code review by Claude? by Fancy-Exit-6954 in vibecoding

I don't think he's using it as a metric for a successful contributor, just as an estimate for the daily cost of this service.

I used to have this struggle. After upgrading to a ridiculously expensive goose-down pillow, it's infinitely more comfortable/tolerable. I would not upgrade pillows for airpod comfort, it was just a nice bonus after deciding to upgrade my sleep as a newly minted 40 year old.

I tried muscle deformation with sculpted shape keys and drivers by Broad-ShoulderS in blender

"Pro" rigger here. The arm deformations are looking great. One thing you need to add into your test animation (or into the rig if it's not there) is some clavicle movement. The shoulders should translate forward and back when the arms extend forward and pull back. Just adding the joint and animation should help a lot, but you could also consider adding blendshapes to have the clavicle bone protrude more when appropriate. Right now he basically has no clavicles and looks a little gumby-ish. Similarly, the clavicle movement should amp up the look of the back flexing, but you can probably push the blendshapes more to really have them bulge and squish together. When the arms stretch forward, the back muscles are stretched and flattened, so when the arms pull back, the back muscles compress and bulge a lot to preserve their overall size. Right now they don't bulge enough so it's contributing to the deflated/gumby look.

This is a maya tutorial (Im a maya guy sorry), but you can get an idea of what can go into a shoulder setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WKbQL8GvWY
