Too many these days want to be animators but want to take the shortcut. Learning how to produce quality animation requires a great deal of time and patience. The traditional 2d art has so many wonderful skills and great knowledge to share. While we have such great technology to utilise, there is a balance between an animators knowledge and what their tools can help them to achieve. As time passes we don't want to lose this knowledge and level of skill for the sake of saving a bit of time. Practice patience. Level up your skills! There is always more to learn!

"On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the latest monthly payroll data for the U.S. economy. Total employment rose by 175,000 in April. The unemployment rate rose slightly to 3.9% from 3.8% in March. That came in below estimates of 240,000 jobs for April. The softness in the jobs report was greeted with some positive reactions. Stock futures jumped after the news. Concerns about the U.S. economy have been focused on overheating — whether inflation will continue to rise and force the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher in an effort to slow the economy and bring rising prices under control. Jason Furman, who served as President Barack Obama's top economic advisor, said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" that it was a "goldilocks" report, showing an economy that could be headed to the soft landing of reasonable inflation and low unemployment. “The bottom line is this report is quite reassuring," said Furman, who now teaches at Harvard. It's not that America is only — or even mostly — producing low-wage jobs. The health care industry continues to lead the employment boom, with an approximately 4.5% gain in payrolls over the past year, equating to some 750,000 new jobs. Other industries seeing strong growth include government jobs, certain sectors of social work, travel, tourism and the arts — alongside some manufacturing sectors. But the overall labor market remains at something of a standstill, as seen in a report earlier this week showing the hiring rate continuing to drift sideways. At the same time, the rate of workers quitting or being laid off is also not showing much change. Economists led by Guy Berger at The Burning Glass Institute research group call it the "great stay."" ~ #laborstats #laborstatistics #whitecollar #newtrends #COVID19 #coronavirus https://lnkd.in/en_m9-t6

🚨 Kaedim3d.com is HIRING 🚨 Send resumes to recruiting3d@kaedim.com Image: Larian Studios The Steam Deck is a joy even if it’s controlling your life Is Baldur’s Gate 3 playable on the Steam Deck? That’s a resounding yes from Steam Deck owners. Larian Studios’ 2023 hit is the most-played game on the handheld gaming device, according to Valve’s list of the top 100 games played on Steam Deck. The Steam Deck might not be the most ideal place to play a humongous game like Baldur’s Gate 3 — it doesn’t look great and the small text can be hard to read — but its place at the top of the charts shows just how much players will put up with to play their favorite games on the go. Baldur’s Gate 3 rules, even if your Steam Deck is on the verge of overheating! Valve’s list ranks the top 100 games in order by “highest daily active player count” from March 2023 to March 2024, and it includes titles that are both Steam Deck verified and not. Roguelike bullet hell game Vampire Survivors is second on the list, followed by fishing and restaurant simulator Dave the Diver, Harry Potter role-playing game Hogwarts Legacy, and fantasy Soulslike Elden Ring. Palworld, Cyberpunk 2077, Grand Theft Auto 5, Stardew Valley, and Red Dead Redemption are next on the list. Games like Vampire Survivors being on the list make so much sense since they’re basically about making big numbers get bigger but on the go. Balatro, which just released in February and is an entirely different game with the same numbers ethos, is also high on the list — and it’s actually my personal favorite current time sink. Valve’s been publishing its top Steam Deck games list for a while, most recently in December 2023. Back then, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon topped the list, followed by Baldur’s Gate 3. The list has a lot of overlap with this one, but some notable 2024 releases that broke in are Palworld, Balatro, Helldivers 2, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, Persona 3 Reload, Last Epoch, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Granblue Fantasy: Relink — in that order. Steam Deck or not, a lot of these top 100 games are also now discounted as part of the 2024 spring sale. You can get the entire top 25 games — except Elden Ring — on sale, including Cult of the Lamb, Balatro, Baldur’s Gate 3, Hades, The Witcher 3, and plenty more.⭐ The world's best game studios ship 7x faster with Kaedim3d.com - try it today to turn sketches into game assets in minutes #gdc #gdc2024 #a16z #GameIndustry #MobileGames #VideoGameIndustry #GameNews #IndieGame
