I'm done with motion capture tests, and so now I can confidently start the editing process to bring #TheNightDancer to life. This is all thanks to @freemocap which has saved me from a nightmare disaster after my Rokoko suit failed, dramatically. I just wish this app had come out much earlier, before I blew all that money on the suit.

I decided to re-watch the first Transformers film today, but differently. Instead of indulging in it as mindless entertainment, I decided I want to actually view it seriously, as I would with somebody like Steven Spielberg, who, by the way, was an executive producer on the film.

#Steam #NextFest was quite the wild ride!

We hat tons of great community feedback and also a networking event smack down in the middle of it.

@betalars held a deep-dive workshop on 10 Insights into Godot and we hope to record that for a wider audience soon.

This evening, we will also once again do a live stream. This time not with hotfixes, but - as promised - with actual #VFX magic. ✨

🕶️ A view of the UI, with the various tools associated with each work phase separated into tabs at the top right of the interface (Drawing, Cleanup, Palette, InknPaint, Animation, Schematic, Xsheet, Tasks, Browser). To the left of the UI are the drawing tools, and to the top left the menus. The image shown is taken (by me) from the Free*SVG site (https://freesvg.org/reindeer-vector-cartoon, Public Domain).

📚️ OpenToonz is a libre, multi-platform, mature 2D bitmap and vector animation tool (motion design). It was used and developed by Studios Ghibli (under the name Toonz) and Dwango (who adapted it, used it for their own needs and freed it). Today, it is used by major studios to produce short films, feature films and series. It integrates the complete design chain for import (including TWAIN-standard scanning), drawing (MyPaint brushes, and numerous editing tools), animation and effects (image style change, incident light assignment, wavy distortion), and can be extended by plugins.

📚️ Material Maker is a libre, multi-platform tool for creating procedural PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials (allows you to add relief/fine texture to a basic model via texture "painting"), based on the Godot engine. Materials are defined as graphics where nodes create or transform textures, and can then be exported to Godot, Unity or Unreal engines. It can also be used to create several types of materials, and new custom material types, as well as new export targets for existing materials, can be added if needed.

🕶️ A view of its UI (taken from the site, on a dark theme) with a scene being displayed on the main part (a small blue toy robot in a cluttered scene reminiscent of an attic, and a small white sphere representing the lighting with its vectors illustrating the rays of light), the graph of the scene in the window below (‘Graph Editor’ tab) and 2 other parameter-setting windows on the right-hand side.

📚️ Gaffer is a libre, multiplatform, flexible, node-based VFX tool that allows image developers, lighting designers and compositors to easily design, adjust, iterate and render compelling 3D or 2D scenes. In particular, it allows users to design and modify scenes of arbitrary complexity by performing numerous operations non-destructively, and to build advanced shaders (via node plug-ins combined with standard Arnold, Cycles, 3Delight and Tractor shaders, and its Open Shading Language or Python). Logic, filters and expressions can be used to create scalable node networks for automated and responsive VFX solutions.

To store its data, it uses a specific binary format (.ase or .aseprite) supported by several programming languages & game engines.

And here we are, just at the beginning, witnessing yet another task that can now be accomplished through artificial intelligence. This feat, something that many deemed impossible mere months ago, is now achieved using Sparc3D! and try to imagine the coming years, what could be possible!
