That is roast beef shaped to look like a baby. I’ve heard of eating so much you feel like you have a “food baby”, but this is taking to the next level!

(Also, I wonder how this fits in to my theory of everything baby tastes better… Would the roast beef taste better shaped as a baby? Is the theory that robust?!)

The weirdest thing you will ever see

If that title is gibberish to you, then you obviously don’t know about smart image based lighting in Cinema 4D. Honestly, I didn’t know about the sIBL plugin until yesterday when I was poking around the tutorials at Pariah Studios. I have used HDRis for lighting before, but the sIBL plugin turns the difficulty for lighting a scene to “easy mode”.

Here are a few quick renders I did, using a few different sIBL sets from HDRLabs.com. Grouped images all use the same background, which is just rotated to show how the lighting changes automagically.

So Rock Band 3 is shipping with a keyboard peripheral. My first thought was

ZOMG! There is going to be a Rock Band: Phish soon

And today I saw the track listings. For the 1990′s, there is

Phish, “Llama”

That’s not to mention the one song that already exists for Phish as DLC. Slowly but surely I am getting to live my dream of being John Fishman (muumuu and all)

The Roots – How I Got Over

This came across my twitter feed via @luxanimals and pretty much blew my mind. Excuse me while I go get a squeegee.

It came from the future!

If you are anything like me, there is a closet somewhere in your house where old computers go to die. It is the Florida of outdated technology. I have been looking for options on how to get rid of them, and I had a few ideas

  1. Con my tech friends in to taking them
  2. Just toss them in the trash
  3. Go all Office Space on them
  4. Find a way to recycle them
