Daniel Meszaros

For any Houdini/Redshift users, I created this default scene that I plan to use myself. I thought why not share it, so here you go: A Houdini 20 default scene with: - Camera Rig - RS ROP handler with the most useful settings - lights, base materials danimesz.gumroad.com/l/pcpoh

@_nscr Awesome congrats! Please shed some light on what a houdini artist does at nvidia!

Super happy to share I've joined the team at Nvidia as a Senior Technical Artist! My focus will be on the Houdini side, but very much also exploring all kinds of cutting edge graphics tech.

Can somebody explain the push for openpbr materials?

BRAND NEW! We are launching the first-ever Gaussian Splat pack. This is Gaussian Splat 3D Clouds and has 25 realistic clouds that will render in nearly real time. It's a huge step forward in rendering speed! Learn more here: thepixellab.net/gaussian-splat… #splat #gaussian #gaussiansplat

Styleframes developed during Research & Development last year. We were focusing on biomolecular shapes with a technologycal twist, combining datasets, Ai and microbiology. [no Ai was used in any of these]

Got locked out of an HDRI plugin I legally bought years ago. $468/yr to get it back. I said... F*ck Subs and built my own. 💀 Death Rays. $19. Buy once. Yours forever. keyframeordie.com #c4d #cinema4d #hdri #lighting #redshift

The bridge from #cinema4d to real-time #3DGS is now flawless!!🚀 New update: Fibonacci spatial coverage (Biomimicry), Jittering AA, and universal baking for Octane/Redshift. Visual fidelity meets tiny file sizes. Plugin: leomllt.gumroad.com/l/Colmapbridge #TechnicalArt #GaussianSplatting

@Darrenvils Thank you !

@danimesz Your work is simply amazing! The quality of the models, environments, lighting, and effects is excellent. I'm currently learning Blender alongside After Effects so I can create 3D motion graphics, and I'm aiming to reach that level

Hey folks, I'm currently available for freelance 3D work, happy to jump in any Cinema 4D and Houdini projects. Give me a shout if you need support 🤟 danielmeszaros.com

@shekhartanmay06 Thanks ! Redshift it is

@danimesz Really great work! What do you use for rendering in C4D?

@joe_walker Thanks Joe ❤️

@danimesz Nice body of work, man 👊

@Ogthedesigner5 thanks man, really appreciate it 🙏

@danimesz Great work Dan.

Another triumph for American diplomacy

This is really cool, Daniel Meszaros! 🤩 @danimesz created this animation using the fluid solver and distortion effects in COPs in #Houdini. Daniel is a 3D Animator and Generalist based in Hungary. He strongly believes that animation is the medium of the future.

@chromaspring Respectfully disagree! I used to just upscale everything too, but in the past 1 year I realized more often than not, 4k render looks waaay sharper and cleaner in most cases. Especially in scenes with a lot of intricate detail.

Because upscaling is extremely good now. I dont render anything in 4k anymore.

Hippo fluid scene pushed to 100M particles made with HydroFX. Foam, bubbles, and spray all simmed together in one system for a cohesive result, fully GPU accelerated. Meshed + extra sand interaction in Houdini, final lookdev/render in Blender. Get HydroFX storm-vfx.com

I love how absolutely useless Behance job requests are

🚨 Did you just see what YouTube did? YouTube isn't banning AI slop.. They're making you label it so they can train their next model to not look like slop. Read that again... You flag the bad AI content. YouTube collects it. Google feeds it into Veo 4... Then next year their AI generates videos so good you can't tell the difference... You're not the customer... You're the training data, we all are.. They got millions of creators to do free quality control on their next AI model and convinced them it was "a strong stance."

@DavidAriew I'm not against Ai as a whole but why do everybody suddenly lower their standards just because it's ai? We should be increasing our quality of work collectively, not downgrade it

@DavidAriew Cmon man, I like your stuff and respect the man but these are genuinely bad examples. The time-lapse is really weak and just looks like a rotating HDRI, and the second one? It barely hits okayish territory - you've done more photoreal environments in 2018 in an hour long tut

This is wild to me. It's already becoming possible to add a final layer of polish to my 3D renders with AI. Here are two examples. In the first one I've added a timelapse sky created with Seedance 2.0 into the background of this desert shot. In the second, I've used Kling O1 Transformation to rework the shot with a sand dune environment, creating a more realistic look than what I had in 3D. The possibility of using 3D to drive AI with complete creative control has my head spinning 😵‍💫
