@sidefx.bsky.social Houdickery: a machine that digests Cheerios. I'm aware the output far exceeds the input. That just shows how good an engineer I am.

My Very Important Movie is playing this Sunday in Brooklyn as part of Jeff Presents: Evil Little Movies 2!

A magazine for which I interviewed Phil Tippett, as well as Lee Moss & Brendan O'Brien (Retrospecter Films), is finally out! It's almost 200 pages of cinema weirdness by some fantastic writers. Ordering info is at wengschop.com. (This isn't my art--it's the designer's, Tony Strauss.)

A #houdinifx R&D digression. It's a completely procedural setup (subsequently textured in #zbrush). There's a longer description and wireframes with different eye counts on Instagram, but Meta is evil, but this site limits video and word counts, and all social media sucks, as does humanity.

Usually the phishers disappear after the first mention of eating children. I applauded this one's dedication to their job until my wife pointed out that it's probably a chatbot and I'm just training genAI to eat children.

Many feel that Caravaggio was not silly enough and had too few squeaky sound effects. I have fixed these issues and thus fixed Art. (I recorded the moaning myself. Clearly, if anyone out there is looking for a voice actor, you should contact me.)

I was working on my movie about how babies are made and my Prop Master/On-Set Doula spilled one. This is the last non-Union shoot of which I'll be part! #baby #fontanelcaprisun #sidefxhoudini #spill

I had some time today to whip up my first #mardini2026 entry for @sidefx.bsky.social. Today's theme: gooey.

This is the inside of my dog's upper lip. You are welcome.

I was working on my movie about how babies are made and this happened. This is not part of the movie this is not how babies are made duh. #fontanelcaprisun #sidefxhoudini

This is four or five little R&D excursions rolled into a quickie project that really makes no sense, but, well, I gotta keep the artistic thirst of my threes of fans slaked, so here it is. Done in @sidefx.bsky.social #houdinifx #3d #nonsense #houdickery

Fun with the MPM solver in @sidefx.bsky.social Houdini. Sound by me, made with my mouth. #houdinifx #splat #weirdart #sexy

Get out those anaglyph 3D glasses so you can see what it's like to be inside me. I was playing with the new depth estimator from @maxonredgiant.bsky.social and the Depth Wish script by @action_movie_dad and had to test drive them on some colonoscopy pics. #colonoscopy #anaglyph #tastefulnudes

"Baiser (Kiss)" is heading to São Paulo, Brazil, in December as part of this year's Overdrive Festival (@overdrive_festival)! #overdrivefestival #tonsilhockey #tonguesushi #indieporn #g-ratedporn #animation

Looking for some gateway horror for the very young this season? Check out the animated shorts of "Dark Corners" (for which I did this trailer) feat. episodes by @stephenking.bsky.social, @katesiegel.bsky.social, @paultremblay.bsky.social, and more. youtube.com/@darkcorners...

A doodle during a lecture grew into a drawing of our dawg. She's not feeling too great right now, something we expect her knee surgery in a couple weeks to help. On an absolutely-related note, if you want to buy this drawing for $8000, shoot me a message. #dog #beagle #tplo

My wife (@sarahvaleriart on Instagram) is participating in this year's @unrwausa.bsky.social 5K for Gaza, which helps provide mental health services for children in Gaza. Throw some support her way! getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fundraiser/6...

Happy birthday, Georges Bataille!

I made a comment about King Crimson. My wife said, "That would be so sad--his makeup would run!" It took us a minute to realize she meant King Diamond. "I'm such a nerd," she said. I explained that between King Diamond and King Crimson, King Diamond fan is not the nerd. #kingdiamond #kingcrimson

From the Cleveland, TN, jail dockets comes this unfortunate name.

This is just an exercise in procedurally modeling, rigging, and animating some critters that I did a couple of years ago, using #houdini and rendered in #ue5, but the lighting annoyed me, so I gave it a little goose. Some have suggested that I use less horrible sound, but they are wrong. #friends

Working on my little movie about, obviously, where babies come from. #sidefxhoudini #whencecomebabies #fontanelcaprisun #miracleoflife #abstinenceeducation #everyspermissacred #conception #weirdart #surrealart #animation #biology #viscous

How is Mamdani not a distant first in the polls (or at least anyone but Cuomo)? New York establishment Democrats boggle my mind. #whythehellwouldanyonevoteforcuomo #letsnotforgetthatclintonwasalsoasackofshit

This started out as me playing with @lukas.thorup 's 2D-smoke-sim particle advection setup, then I added some colliders, some custom velocities fields just 'cause, and some velocity-based-emission shaders, and, lo, something not floppy/gross/silly happened. #houdini #sidefx

@sarahvaleriart is taking some of her unique instruments for a spin (with a little help from me) tomorrow night as part of her ongoing exhibition, "Song in the Bone." There will be noise. #songinthebone #noisemusic #noise #racket #ungovernableharpy #waterphone #surrealism #nycartist

The Ungovernable Harpies (from the mind of, and here played by, @radiospell) are advancing all electric. Expect some high musickal weirdness Wednesday night as part of her ongoing exhibition in DUMBO, 20 Jay, suite 307! #sarahvaleri #songinthebone #ungovernableharpy #racket
