Tutorials don’t get you across the finish line. Projects do. Byron Qiao’s sci-fi short: hubs.li/Q047sXRv0

This week ComfyUI added App Mode. You can build tools on top of a workflow and hide the node graph. Small change. But it makes these pipelines much more usable. We’ll be talking about where this is heading in our AI for Filmmakers webinar next week. hubs.li/Q046Rz_w0

There was a time when people listed “Internet” as a skill on their resume. Eventually it stopped being a skill. It became assumed. AI will probably follow the same path. The differentiator won’t be who uses AI. It will be what they do with it.

AI video tools are improving quickly, and this WILL displace current workflows. In our next AI for Filmmakers webinar we’ll explore some of the latest tools filmmakers are experimenting with and how they support real workflows. Join us: hubs.li/Q046Rzwl0

Most Unreal renders stop at the beauty pass. But cinematic workflows need compositing control. Portal lighting pass Object ID pass World depth pass Daniel Langhjelm explains the workflow. Watch the replay: hubs.li/Q045YB6d0

Midweek reminder for artists exploring AI tools: Drawing Perspective Color Camera fundamentals These still matter. Artists with strong fundamentals stand out immediately when they move into digital workflows. Full podcast episode: hubs.li/Q045XM8b0 #VFX #Filmmaking

Seedance 2 is getting a lot of attention right now. One interesting feature: From a single prompt it generated a sequence: • establishing shot • close-up • medium shot That kind of cinematic sequencing is something we haven’t seen much of yet. hubs.li/Q045XMLH0

Cool new tool alert. A new node inside ComfyUI lets you: • load characters • add environments • animate with Mixamo • compose shots • export video Basically directing scenes inside your AI workflow. Watch the full webinar replay: hubs.li/Q045YhXj0 #AI #ComfyUI

Stop editing the same material 20 times. Unreal’s layered materials let you control moss, dirt, and variation across assets from one place. Huge workflow improvement for environment creation. Learn Unreal for filmmaking: hubs.ly/Q045G5tv0

Oscar-winning VFX supervisor Eric Barba: “Artists should be generalists.” On SeaQuest, artists handled entire shots themselves and had about 10 days to deliver, forcing them to understand the pipeline. Podcast hubs.li/Q045v1-V0 CG Pro community hubs.li/Q045v5jb0
