Watching old Sci-Fi with kids now.

Kid: The sets look like paper mache and the aliens are just guys in costumes. How could you watch it?

Fans: Well back in those days we over looked it if the story they were telling was good. We knew it looked fake but we went with it to see where the story teller was going.

Watching current Sci-Fi with kids in the future.

Kid: The sets and aliens all look like bad video game graphics. It's obvious everyone's standing in front of a green screen. How could you watch it?

Fans: Well, back in those days all we cared about was that it didn't look like paper mache.

Okay so I played around with that Google Bach Harmony AI today. It lets you download the harmonies it generates to your melody as a MIDI file, but you can only work on 2 bars at a time. So I generated the harmonies to a melody two bars at a time until I had a whole song then stitched all the downloaded MIDI files together in a MIDI sequencer and then imported that into Caustic (a Synth rack emulator for Android, Windows and iOS) and picked synth parts for the melody I wrote and the alto, tenor and bass parts the AI generated. Then exported it as a WAV file and then whipped together a simple animation for it in Daz Studio.

And here it is.

When I was a kid there was this Irish guy the next block over who had a Rolls Royce and I remember looking in the back window and seeing it had these table trays built into the back of the front seats like an airplane seat and I used to imagine how sweet it must have been for him to be driven around by his chauffeur while he was able to sit in the back of the car with the table down colouring in a colouring book. To this day whenever I see a Rolls Royce I always imagine for a second that there's a guy in the back joyfully colouring in a colouring book while his chauffeur drives him around.

Working on a set of greebles, wall panels, and assorted set dressings that can be quickly kitbashed together to build sci-fi interiors. Took me awhile to figure out how to make the cut out I-beam until I realized I shouldn't be thinking of it as two triangles side by side but as a single Z pattern repeated over and over.

This set is built of out only 9 assets.

It's kinda fun doing environmental modelling as my bailiwick is really modelling clothing.

The Lolo Bot figure for Daz Studio is finished and available for free on ShareCG.

Body of the Lolo-bot is finished. There's and 8x8 LED matrix in the eyes to create eye expressions. Oddly enough the LED matrix uses more polygons than the rest of the figure.
