Notes
Endless stream of thoughts, and other things (sometimes a Japanese learning playground)
I was trying to type "レコーディング" and I couldn't quite figure out how to type "ディ", so after a search I found this:
wi = ウィ
we = ウェ
u+xo = ウォ
va = ヴァ
vi = ヴィ
vu = ヴ
ve = ヴェ
vo = ヴォ
she = シェ
je = ジェ
fa = ファ
fi = フィ
fe = フェ
fo = フォ
te+xi = ティ
to+tu = トゥ
de+xi = ディ
do+xu = ドゥ
che = チェ

NEMOPHILA will release their 4th album, "Apple of my eye" on January 22, 2025!
A new tour in Japan was also announced, starting in February and finishing by the end of April, at HAZUKI's hometown!
I wanna go!
I saw this quote today:
Solitude and taking photographs are connected in an important way. If you aren’t alone, you can never acquire this way of seeing, this complete immersion in what you see, no longer needing to interpret, just looking … There’s a distinct kind of satisfaction that you get from looking and traveling alone, and it’s connected with this relation of solitude to photography … If you’re not alone you take different photos. I rarely feel the urge to take pictures if I’m not on my own.
Via Craig Mod’s Roden newsletter. But the quote itself is from Wender’s book.
It seems I'm recovering well from my wisdom tooth extraction, though the painkillers I'm taking are kinda strong, being feeling a bit over the edge, shaking a lot even to hold a pen to draw. It is what it is, I guess.
So many things I want to draw and create lately, this step back is putting my whole priorities into perspective now. Which is good, sometimes you just need a reset to realize a bunch of things in life.
Let's go!
Today I had this weird experience of having 1 wisdom tooth extracted. Didn't felt any pain at all, but it's hard not being able to eat proper food... I'm not a huge fan of soups and whatnot, but it is what it is, and certainly could've been worse.
Anyways, apparently the word for wisdom tooth in Japanese is 親知らず (oyashirazu) that can be translated as "tooth your parents doesn't know about". Kinda funny!
The RenderMan Fundamentals have a brand new lighting series in Solaris!
The web experience has also been redesigned, including a new downloadable project for you to learn about what makes RenderMan such an amazing tool for digital cinematographers!

I'm familiar with V-Ray but RenderMan has always being on my radar. Might finally try it later.
