Should we care about displacement when normals or bumps are good? Should @Blender devs donโt worry about high poly counts and better memory management on adaptive subdivision? Or, 640K ought to be enough for anyone? Thatโs your choice. Displacement vs Normals vs Bump map #b3d
FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave." Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.โ โHe was the actor I wanted to play this role,โ says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. โIt was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay letโs do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.โ wp.me/pc8uak-1lH1PI
