Thank you! I did - just made weird noises into a microphone and then pitched it down!

WIP trying something

We filmed in Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura for WWD2025 too! We nearly did La Palma as well, but the Azores edged it out

Had fun watching The Dinosaurs with friends last night!! My big takeaway is that Big Paleodoc™ clearly has shares in the Canary Islands

Coloured Deltadromeus in Blender

Really pleased with textures on this fella!!

Evolution is just a long series of guys copying each other's homework

That's an interesting idea 🤔 I'll have a think!

I'm not sure the giant taxa would have had anatomy like the little guys! From what I can tell, the Deltadromeus foot material doesn't seem to show signs of a larger sickle claw - but who knows with these guys

Can't wait!!

Lmao what's he doing up there. silly

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Thank you!!

Aw thank you!!

Thank you very much!!

Thank you!

Rendered out a test shot of this vocalising Cryolophosaurus! It's all a bit janky and I have a lot to learn, but it is so fun working in Blender that I can see myself doing loads more of these little shorts.

Thank you ❤️❤️ thankfully it seems there may still be options specifically for darker skin which I'm looking into!

Transitioning has many ups and downs - today was a down day. Turns out my skin reacts *remarkably* poorly to both laser and electrolysis! But hey ho, we push on and find ways forward.

Ah I'm glad to hear! Evolution will be out later this year, got to work on some fun little critters on that one!

I cannot begin to express how excited I am for Surviving Earth - so many of my wonderful TV and paleo- friends have poured their hearts into it. It really looks like something very special.

I just had a look and it's the same person that harassed me under every post for a while, and I think does the same to a few other paleo folk. Really frustrating because I think they make new accounts to get around being blocked.

Second attempt (after like, 1.5 years) at UV unwrapping and texturing! Not unhappy with this at all - will definitely be delving deeper into this!

(don't ask me where the tongue is. I don't know either)

The VFX work in this film is really astounding - this is a great showcase of it!

Everything feels so shit right now. But our little guy doesn't know any of it and loves to sit upright on his square butt for no reason. Little things can keep us afloat.

Really amazing work Matt!!

Plesiosauria: A Systematic and Taxonomic Overview Comprehensive systematic and taxonomic overview of Plesiosauria, including valid taxa and nomina dubia based on recent data, with detailed taxon listings.

I’m excited to share a new project that I hope will be a valuable resource for the paleo community!

I'm working on a textbook about plesiosaurs and compiled a comprehensive overview of all currently valid plesiosaur taxa and some nomina dubia. 1/3
