I've been a rock drummer for... well, this is my fortieth year. I've been a stone mason for over thirty years and I'm not really supposed to do that anymore but my body has a hard time allowing me to quit it entirely. So my singer and his wife have me doing special custom stone projects anytime I feel the urge, which is nice.

Carrara has been my main hobby, but I've had a hard time getting to it for a few years now. Feels good to be back.

Built a new Ryzen Carrara machine and, this time around I hit things a little differently.

Carrara 8.5 was developed around Genesis 1, so that's where I began this newly rejuvenated start (I never actually 'left', but was in slo-motion for years!) with a new Genesis 1 hero made up of Genesis 2 Female shapes and with many generation 4 expression and living morphs, all thanks to Genesis Generation X2.

Being limited on computer time, I chose to try and just stick with what's compatible for the most part.

Making my new site helps me keep on-task a bit, but is also already starting to become fun to look back at how much things have changed in my workflow since I started the site in June or July. It's a great new place for me to store links to instructional and inspirational videos and my own writings and videos, which is a great outlet during those Batch Queue animated render sessions - though most of that is set up for before I sleep, wake up and go to work sort of thing. Works well.

I have a friend who is an old Aerobatic Pilot. He promises to make me sick one day, and I can't wait!
