I admit, I am not good with math (Calculus, Algebra I am quite good at, same goes for geometry), but this is beautiful and almost makes me want to try and get better at Calculus.

I admit I am always fascinated by hair / fur animation as this still is where a lot of “revealing mistakes” happen. But this one is quite good, not only in the fur animation but also in the overall execution. Kudos.

There always seems to be confusion about what Atheism is or why it is a valid position to have. This nice, 10 minute video is a really good introduction to the “atheist dilemma” if you want to call it that.

There are problems, the AF mostly not to mention the low resolution. I am trying again right now with MF and will “borrow” a better camera and see if I can get it working. If it does, I may end up setting up a webcam again

Makes me want to do my own.
