Fucking NO!, you guys - that CGI is not flawless!! 🙄 This is another one of those times when I disagree wildly with The Couch™️. I think VFX artists actually become desensitized to uncanny valley, like their idea of "flawless" ends up more technical than human.

The FIRST THING to rush through my head at that clip was "Hm, that's some peculiar speech mannerisms". Speaking is the glass ceiling of CGI & AI lipsync has NOT broken it.

🕶️ A view of its UI, with the main part in the center showing the various effects boxes with their parameters and the links that connect them to produce the desired effect. On the left, a library tab and an image of the selected starting model, and on the right, a preview of the texture created.

📚️ 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.

Need something new (but an old technique)?

While #AI video is baseline and getting better...

... Movie #VFX can be phoned in and often are, when timelines are compressed.

There is a bloke on YouTube who reworks effects of #movies and often they are superior to the originals, and it's not just attributable to better tech.

In one recent video he redid the "Airforce one", in the original one, the sea, the splashes were phoned in. And the dynamics of the crash was amateurish. And that is not the fault of the tech.

🕶️ 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.

I decided to make an ice material, for this many people use the Custom Reflection Vector node. So I decided to explore that first, but I already know what it will be replaced with, I'll show you later.

#Linux #VFX people. Windows 10 is whining at me to update and I have Rocky Linux onother drive ready to take over. But Rocky is such a pain, shame that so many VFX tools are based around CentOS based Linux distros.

I flguess I could run Fedora but I have been stung by updates in the past (just when everything was running just so!)

Tonight (02/11/2026 at 6pm EST) I'm going to try to finish up the Stranger Things inspired portal. So far we've added some stringy thing hanging across the portal, and made them break. Next we'll add a flexible sheet across the opening and have that break as well.

2D Compositing for VFX explained

This is going to be a document that hopefully will explain 2D compositing to you, such that you will have an intuition for how it is done.

There sould be more #cinemas in #Germany showing #IronLung.

Cuz to me this is propably the most innvoative thing in #cinema since the original #Avatar movie and the first worth buying a ticket for since the last #IndianaJones movie.

#Hollywood selling #slop #VFX / #SFX bs. really need to innovate and actually deliver something good, cuz everyone not into #Marvel & #DC doesn't really get much new content worth paying for and I'd rather get #MUBI & #Nebula than #Netflix or whatever…

#CreativeCoding #Livecoding #WCCC #WCCChallenge #Worldbuilding #sounddesign #Dominoes #Grids

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableraph : “Dominoes“, DominoesInGrids is coded in #SonicPi, #Python & #LiveCodingYoutube and plays on the concept of the domino effect(with the tiles going off one by one) and mathematical induction(where the effect of the speeds and #vfx increases after every iteration).

#Poem
As One Fades
The others wait
Wandering as their fate
Turns their presence to shade
As their time awaits
For the cycle to regain its Place
And the increase in pace
And the inflictions in space
