Hi Everyone

It's been a long time since I made a post.  I apologize for that.  During my extended Patreon break I took on a side gig for some extra food money.  I'm feeling that inflation as muc...

So... I owe you an apology.

I made a very expensive assumption and it cost me a tremendous amount of time.  Setting up the hair, I exported 2-point polygon chains as alembics for Storm to use in it's hair sim.  It u...

Hair Simming

This was the most complex thing I've done with Storm to date.  Quite a learning curve.. I had to really pester one of the Storm gods to figure it all out.  But now that everything is work...
