  3. Tonight (4-1-2026 at 6pm EDT), in honor of the hopeful launch of Artemis II, I'm going to try to make some pyro rocket exhaust. Also, we'll do a little watch along of the launch. It's not every day that humans start a trip around the moon!

  35. Tonight (7/2/25), I'm a little unsure about what we should do. It will be a bit of a viewers choice, and if nobody has a live suggestion I'm going to play with some stuff in Vellum. Sorry for the indecision, but it should be fun either way.

  51. Tonight (3/26/25 at 6pm EDT), I'm going to make a few different examples of how to create a kinetic wind sculpture. I'm referencing a video that my co-worker sent me. I'm going to try to make a few versions: purely procedural, driven by a pyro sim, and possibly a dynamic version.

  57. Tonight (02/26/2025 at 6pm EST) I'm going to go through a recent HDA that I built that would take in pre-built castle assets, and make walls from a drawn curve. It was a slightly tricky process to figure out, and I thought you all might be interested.
