  Oof, the nix build sandbox not including /usr/bin/env is definitely a bit of a wall I'm not sure how to get around.

  I think I'm throwing in the towel trying to install Lichtfeld Studio. vcpkg is just way too cursed. It's the kind of build process that expects you to have nasm installed but tries to build python, ffmpeg, openssl, etc from source on a system that already has all those. I've already had to do tons of tweaking to get other dependencies to build, but the error I'm getting building python is just too arcane for me to waste any more effort on.

  @thraeryn The Taste of Tea is really good if you're into stuff that's a little surreal.

  I am going to figure out how to draw hands.

  Gaussian splatting is tough. I keep getting a bunch of floaters everywhere that I'm not sure how to clean up. I wonder if I've got colmap generating the point cloud wrong.

  You know, as much as learning to draw is very frustrating for me, it's actually way less frustrating than the crapshoot that is trying to do anything on a computer. I have no idea how to make hands look like hands, but at least I'm not gonna get a random error message halfway through.

  Usually I put together the frames for my animations in Krita, but I want to put together a tool that'll read the timings from a text file and put them together with ffmpeg instead, and now I'm trying to dream up how to over-engineer it into a full text-based video editor lol.

  I stumbled across Joplin on F-Droid, and it really fits well with my workflow of "keep enormous lists of every idea that pops into my head throughout the day". I can even throw photos in there too now if I draw a little sketch or see something I like.

  It's a little bit strange to realize how much the animation industry has probably been driven by the question of "can this character be made into a toy". And honestly, separated from the uglinesses of the toy industry, it's not even really a bad question. Toys aren't inherently a bad thing, and characters should spark the viewer's imagination the way a good toy does. Just, you know, as long as the whole thing doesn't just exist to convinc...

  I'm figuring out more and more why people use perspective grids. One big advantage is that you get to see how things are going to overlap a lot quicker. It's been very frustrating to calculate all the lines for a box only to realize that the lines are flowing into the lines of another box behind it, and the viewer isn't going to be able the clearly see how they overlap.
