@UnpluggedTesla Any plans for an 18” version?

Meet the new UP-RW FF. A 19-inch flow-formed wheel for Tesla Model S, 3, X, and Y that brings iconic Road Warrior design DNA to a more accessible price point. Integrated aero disc styling, backed by a lifetime structural warranty, with optional curb guard rings available to help protect against curb rash. The Road Warrior family just got a whole lot more accessible.

You there! Post a Transformers pic you made

@stevesi About a decade ago I was tinkering with a VR experience where you were in 360/370 machine room. Felt very cool. Really made me think the future of classic system emulation needs to be in VR, to fully reproduce the experience of “being” with a machine.

My favorite tech history book is "History of IBM 360". It is an incredible volume going through the history of an insane story of invention, innovation, management, technology, and more. The scale of any one of those incredible, but all on one product 🤯 a.co/d/0eAHQMZL

@stevenmarkryan Ahh! So you’re watching day 1 of the Osaka Grand Sumo Tournament too! Nice…

There are two types of men: Those who love combat sports and... Oh, wait. There's only one type.

@MarketOsprey @SawyerMerritt This is the hard stuff….. a render of some body panels is easy.

@SawyerMerritt All that yapping and there’s not even a rendering of the final product??

NEWS: Ford has announced that its upcoming ~$30,000 mid-size electric truck will have 48v architecture and have 15% more aerodynamic efficiency than any other pickup truck on the market today. EV truck info: • LFP battery (prismatic). Structural battery, a first for Ford. LFP Battery made in Michigan. • New regen-braking design that saves $100 in battery cost. • Ford says "if the same battery was married to the aerodynamics of the most aerodynamically efficient mid-size gas truck in the U.S., we believe our new electric truck would have nearly 50 miles or 15% more driving range. And a 30% improvement at highway speeds." • Truck uses unicastings (gigacastings) • Reduces parts by 20% versus a typical vehicle, with 25% fewer fasteners, 40% fewer workstations dock-to dock in the plant & 15% faster assembly time. • Side mirror body size is 20% smaller than a conventional mirror, adding ~1.5 miles of range. • New tire wake design: "We guided the front tire wake directly toward the rear tires, effectively "hiding" the rear wheels." This adds 4.5 miles of range. • Wiring harness is more than 4,000 feet (1.3 kilometers) shorter and 22lbs kilograms lighter than the one used in their first-gen electric SUV. • The new midsize truck is forecasted to have more passenger room than the latest Toyota RAV4, even before you include the frunk and the truck bed. • The new midsize truck will have a targeted 0-60 time of 4.5s. • Completely redesigned EV architecture • Deliveries start in the U.S. in 2027 with a target starting MSRP of $30,000. Ford: "If we succeed, we will have a family of vehicles that we expect to compete on price with the best in the world, including gas vehicles. We used a Formula 1-inspired development cycle to develop this vehicle. We shifted our focus toward a "fail fast, learn faster" mentality."

@wingItDaily2 @wholemars Don’t set yourself up for that sort of disappointment. Go for outselling the Cybertruck, that feels achievable.

@wholemars My 2 cents: This will outsell Elon's ModelY eventually, what do you all think ?

This vehicle will make or break Rivian

@Tslachan Mate! It’s Unsupervised in Sydney Australia!

$TSLA Tesla Unsupervised Robotaxi is expanding in Austin!

@dearlensform Can’t wait!!

i swear i haven't just been tweaking the ui endlessly instead of fixing all the build problems 😶‍🌫️

@ScheierJason @ArtStationHQ Good man!

@wholemars @elonmusk 3 L 3 Plaid Y Safari

@elonmusk It is sad, but they are clearly not the future of the company I hope to see Tesla produce more premium variants based on the 3 & Y platform in all their factories around the world to fill the holes left in the lineup by the S & X

no more S3XY 😭 just 3y

@ScheierJason Nice work getting this stuff out there at high res man! So much love was poured into the details.

Here is a background matte painting for Transformers One we did for the first poster release of the movie. I saved it high res so you can have it for your phone backgrounds. Enjoy

@BasicAppleGuy Man I miss Aperture.

Apple Creator Studio

@beforesmag @ILMVFX Ha! Nice! I’ve had the two at the top since high school in the 90s. Yours now sits with them on the shelf at my place too.

How cool is this! Stefan Habel posted this pic of my 'Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation' book alongside the previously published @ILMVFX books (I love the other cool ILM swag Stefan included in the pic). The book is out Jan 13th. amzn.to/4lQecII

@TeslaNewswire Comon you cowards! Set the 19s free! The rest of the world needs them!!

Quicksilver Model 3 Performance with 19” Warp wheels 🥵

@AlexRoy144 Direct competition with robots should tidy up this behaviour quick smart.

Many such cases. EWR & JFK are wild.

@BasicAppleGuy Best I can do is 7

Apple Accessories Bingo How many of these more obscure Apple accessories have you owned?

@yiningkarlli Love it! These things are so often just sticky taped together with stills in after effects.

@alexfry More or less!

Zootopia 2 is getting a ScreenX panoramic format release. Yes, we had to re-render the movie with a much wider field of view. No, it was not even remotely easy to do lol. If you have a ScreenX theater near you, it's a neat screening format to check out! youtube.com/watch?v=Vt1qMh…

@yiningkarlli Oh wow! So it’s been done “properly”?

Animation tends to work "to the camera" and hide cheats offscreen, and when you suddenly have to re-render the movie with a 3x wider FOV, believe you me that everything tends to break and you have to fix a ton of stuff!

@minchoi I’m calling BS on that 5600K hair fill

@MomentsInCG @VrKomarov You have my attention!

RGB rendering is founded on lies and perpetuated by misconceptions about the practicality of spectral rendering. My new blog post series describes a spectral GPU path tracer. Part 1 focuses on how to make it work with existing RGB assets. momentsingraphics.de/SpectralRender…
