June ProgBlog #4: and I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your darned dog!

And by “gotten away with it” I mean “finished” and by “dog” I mean “dogs and cats” XD

I’ve spent this entire week ironing the tail. Also found this helpful setting

and turned it on after actually reading the tooltip while wondering what it did. I’d been thinking it would be helpful in high poly situations like this if stuff could just be rendered when it was actually in the viewport and smarter people than me obviously thought it would be a good idea too XD

Art therapy

My cat Graymalkin died recently. She was 17 years old, and went peacefully curled up in the sun in one of her favourite sunning spots.

From when she was a kitten she would snooze or just sit and chill on my lap whenever I was at my computer. She got me through uni and a bad breakup which had me running home to Christmas Island for a little while. If not for her I wouldn’t have gone back to Perth and would have ended up living a completely different life. Her weight (what there was of it, she was a teeny tiny cat) and purring and soft fur got me through all the things that required focus and concentration while sitting still.

Simplistic musings on cats and dogs, or ramblings about why pet shops shouldn't sell them

I have this bias towards cats and dogs in this piece, because I’ve only ever shared a house with cats and dogs.

My random thought that triggered the blat was that JJ is not going to let me have any more cats.
