YONK is a Dutch 3D animation studio consisting of artistic power couple Victoria Young and Niels van der Donk. Coming from different backgrounds like fine art and graphic design they decided early on to combine their individual skills to create 3D work. Since 2019 they specialize in using Virtual Reality and 3D sculpting tools to create uniquely strange, textured and colorful artworks, animations and character designs for an increasingly international client list such as Google, Sprite, Nike, Amazon and The New York Times, but also just for the sake of creating and having fun experimenting. In this episode they take us into their world and explain how sculpting 3D figures in virtual reality is more intuitive and less technical than the traditional way with a keyboard and mouse. Working in VR has led to quicker results and helped them discover their unique style. By embracing the explorer's mindset they experiment in a way where everything is allowed and create a body of work by describing their nightmares to each other. They generously share how their style gradually developed by not knowing how to do things “properly” and how they made a conscious decision to leave the imperfections and happy accidents in their work to give it a more organic feel. While collaborating they acknowledge each other's strengths and try to involve each other throughout the whole process to create a cohesive result. Even though their work is mostly created in VR it can be transferred to many other mediums and be experienced by everyone as an animated video, a 3D print or traditional 2D image. But their activities are not only limited to making art — they also develop tools to solve specific problems within the sculpting or animation programs and share them with the growing VR and 3D sculpting community. It was that constant sharing of their personal work on Instagram that has caught the attention of potential clients who want be a part of their exciting experiences and set their mark in the VR space. To YONK, client work not only poses creative challenges, but also requires them to incorporate some planning and organizing into their process while still keeping it as intuitive and natural as possible. _________ MENTIONED LINKS: • Adobe Medium • Substance 3D Modeler (by Adobe) • Joseph Melhuish • Meta Quest Pro • YONK & Friends (live stream) • Christopher Rutledge • Blender (open-source 3D & animation software) • Step Motion on Blender Market • WarpySTEP v1.2 for Blender (by Will Anderson) • Grease Pencil Resources for Blender • Geometry Nodes for Blender • Dédouze • Other 3D software: Cinema 4D, Houdini, ZBrush, Maya _________ FOLLOW YONK: Instagram: @yonk.online Website: yonk.online YouTube: YONK TikTok: @yonk.online Twitch: yonkonline Threads: @yonk.online Twitter: x.com/yonkonline _________ If you liked this episode, please subscribe and leave a review.

Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, the smartest ways to donate to charity. Hosted by Frances Cook. You'll often hear the phrase that money can't buy happiness. Which I agree with to a certain degree. Working yourself into the ground in order to have a pile of money that you use to simply buy more stuff, is something that won't bring most people happiness. But there are certain things that researchers have shown do bring happiness. Being able to cover the basic costs of your life, for one, can reduce a lot of stress. Giving to charity or being able to help those around you is another way to spend your money that's been proven to genuinely make people happier. But just because you want to give to others doesn't mean you splash your money around willy nilly and hope for the best. If you're handing over money to a good cause, you want to make sure it actually gets to that good cause. You also probably want to make sure your cash has the maximum impact once it gets there. So if you're wanting to use some of your money to make the world a better place, what's the smartest way to do it? For the latest podcast I talked to BusinessDesk senior journalist Victoria Young. If you have a question about this podcast, or question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.

Author, retired veterinarian, & education activist Victoria Young discusses the new American anti-intellectualism among other issues. Dr. Young wrote the article titled “Anti-intellectualism in Today's America!“ that immediately sucked me in. Deep into her article, I caught the following snippet. “We don't educate people anymore. We train them to get jobs,” said Professor Catherine Liu in discussing the changing mission of universities. And that said it all. We are creating robots with no ability of critical thinking. The bastions of our economy want the obedient subject that is there to serve with their labor and controlled intellect. If you ever wonder why the fear of Critical Race Theory (CRT), the necessary anti-intellectual modus operandi is the way we can keep an unfair system from collapsing. To be clear, K-12 does not teach CRT. But there is a slippery slope for those in power that Americans will learn about the true nature of our checkered past from our inception. The masses would demand mitigation for past injustices. Victoria Young is an involved, informed, and active parent of the No Child Left Behind era.

But today she discusses an issue that while superficially not connected to her passion actually is, anti-intellectualism.--- If you like what we do please do the following!

One of our family missions is to do whatever we can to help protect Mother Earth and spread awareness of simple changes people can make towards a better future for our kids. I guess you could call this the “homesteading spirit”.Having a real understanding of where our food comes from. A connection to the land and the magic of planting a small seed and harvesting food a few months later is so powerful. Creating a connection to your food and the earth...no matter where you live...fosters a true spirit of gratitude.From food to chores to connecting with your kids - this conversation with Victoria Young, a truly kindred spirit, is so inspiring and motivating...I can't wait for you to meet her and connect with her message.Let's continue the conversation over on Instagram or get additional support inside our free community of Mamapreneurs.Until next time...TCKS,Lynn______________________________________________________________Victoria Young is a pioneering Mama who is creating an off-grid lifestyle for her family. An accounting major, turned esthetician, turned farmer, she never thought of herself as the off-grid living, hay bale slinging type!

"I conflicted the idea of working hard with being mean to myself. When I'm mean to myself, I did work hard. But you don't need to be mean to yourself in order to work hard. You can achieve whatever you want by loving and treating yourself with kindness and compassion. I just wish the younger girl would have the opportunity to speak up for herself instead of being afraid and hiding away."

What’s the Catch of the Day on Jen’s Dish?Fresh from the local Narragansett Bay waters; the “Catch” was a visit with Andrade’s Catch on Jen’s Dish Radio on a chilly Saturday in February 2020. My guests were Davy Andrade; 3rd generation shell fisherman and his lovely fiancé Victoria Young. The Andrade's believe wild shellfish(vs. farmed) is the only shellfish to eat and they should know, they have been harvesting wild shellfish out of Narragansett Bay and surrounding waters for generations. They use sustainable harvesting methods to bring the shellfish to you, the consumer. Whether that is to sell in their own shop in Bristol, RI, or to restaurants around New England and beyond. It was a tasty visit and I know you will be inspired to seek out more local clams and cook them up on a regular basis. I was also moved by their legacy, passion for shellfishing and their values. Davey ad his family were raised on the water. They were taught to respect Mother Nature and the bounty she provides for us. Their family doesn't just sell seafood: They catch it, deliver it, eat it and most importantly, they form relationships around it. Take a listen!

By great good fortune, there is nothing I cannot eat. There are a couple of things I'd prefer not to eat, but nothing, at least as far as I know, that would make me ill. As a result, I am fascinated by people who have to forego certain foods to stay well. I used to follow someone on the web who swore that something called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™-- which, I learn, apparently requires initial caps and a TM symbol -- was the only thing that kept her alive. I never really investigated further, because that was before I had a podcast to feed and she more or less stopped writing about it. So when the chance arose to talk to someone who is living with the disease and the diet, I leaped at it. Victoria Young is a journalist who has been following the SCD™ for about seven years. She says that it has actually renewed her relationship with food, partly by making her think hard about what she eats. Far from being a dull diet that is all about avoiding things, it forces her to be inventive with the things she can eat. And she says she's never felt better. The medical establishment may not be too keen on the SCD™ but the proof of the pudding -- assuming you can in fact make a pudding that complies -- does seem to be in the eating. Notes Victoria Young's website links to her blog How to eat (when you can't eat anything at all). She tweets @tory21. The mother lode on the SCD™ is Elaine Gottschall's book Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal Health Through Diet. Once again, I'm plaintively asking you to rate and review the show on iTunes. I know that's pathetic, but it honestly does help. The banner photo of a stained section of inflamed bowel is from Wikimedia, and doesn't it take me back ...
