@jacksonhvisuals Yes, it has a skeleton.
As example here is an animation processed and retargeted to a mixamo rig

CEB SAM3D Body v3 WIP
This is the first test where we have global position even with a moving camera.

@edzitron @jeremiahjw This is giving the Amazon Pinocchio “when can I go out in my ooownnnn”

Keep remembering this and cracking up thinking about how probably 50 different people got this and were like “yep, looks and sounds great.” Microsoft Teams thumbs up on the clip, thread opened that starts “can we make him sound more like Seth Rogen?”

Been slowly getting accustomed to @browsercompany's Dia browser, but there are two rough edges that come from what I can only assume is their sidebar implementation.
Dev tools webpage width resizing is janky, and 2FA code pop-ups from macOS are offset by the sidebar.

It’s really fun to see the progression in the shots, and try to identify what the notes were and the reasoning behind them!

@ForrestPKnight Yeah, no - a full vibed rewrite was incredibly reckless and goes against pretty much any reasonable software development principles.

I love yt-dlp, and frankly they can do what they want with their software, but it’s obvious they haven’t looked at the Bun code. It’s a competent port to Rust.
And I think folks who say “I won’t use this simply because AI wrote it” are in the same vein as vibe coders who don’t read their code. They are blindly trusting AI, but for them they are trusting it to be bad code like vibe coders are trusting it to be good code.

yt-dlp plans to drop support for Bun Reason: it is vibe-coded

@jacksonhvisuals Absolutely it does. x and y rotation (pitch and yaw) are with the mouse. I tried two-hand gestures for rotation but it was too janky, so I went old-school, and it works great.

An archaeologist emailed me last week with a USDZ of an arrowhead. He asked if he could share 3D models on his zoom calls. I said that is an amazing idea.
Now everyone can share 3D models on their zoom calls.
Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.

@SnazzyLabs It could be SO good. Yet it just isn’t, which sucks.

And most web devs don’t either. It pisses me off when Passkeys are used either as 2FA and/or in addition to keeping a traditional username/password WHICH DEFEATS THE ENTIRE POINT.
Jack Fields@OrdinaryInds
Passkeys just showed up one day and the general public has absolutely no clue what they are nor how they work.

@Gavmn @supercgeek somehow you really nailed the text-in-icon, which is a challenge!
English
Got to work with @supercgeek on an icon for a very nice feature launching in Codex today: Appshots. (much more than just a screenshot!)
Cameron Burgess@supercgeek
one more tidbit on the icon (which @Gavmn rizzed the hell up) — it was based off an earlier idea on how we would indicate which app would be captured when hovering on the attach button in the empty state

@BGOnTheScene does yelling and wearing an empty plate carrier make him feel like a big boy?

VS code/Cursor extensions are a supply chain attack waiting to happen, and have many times... They all contain a crazy amount of node/JS junk, they're often owned by randos, they silently update, nobody looks at them and the security model is shit. Use restricted marketplaces.
GitHub@github
1/ We are sharing additional details regarding our investigation into unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories. Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.

@rms80 The whole anti Lumen / Nanite crowd is super similar to the “no VFX, all practical” crowd.
A lot of people yammering who have no idea what they’re talking about.
English
unhinged replies to this, as usual. UE5 doesn't force anyone to use Lumen - eg see Arc Raiders, beautiful UE5 game that doesn't use it. But Lumen can make things look amazing *and* dynamic, in ways that are impossible w/ baked lighting. Don't know why this is even an argument.
Ryan Schmidt@rms80
now do it in an open-world game with a 16 km^2 map ... or even just an outdoor forest environment

@yiningkarlli Oh that’s awesome, if I ever cross paths with him, I’ll have to ask.
Found his website, treasure trove of papers there!
English
@jacksonhvisuals I see you worked on Avatar: Fire and Ash; you should go talk to Alexey Stomakhin at Weta. He's got some great stories. Example: we didn't have a water solver up to the task for Moana, so he and a few others had to invent APIC; APIC is now standard in Houdini/Blender/etc.
English
This was 10 years ago so I'm a bit hazy on details now, but there were a few shots in this sequence that required a TB of RAM for water sims, and it was really late in production, so our solution was to cannibalize RAM from multiple machines and build some 1 TB RAM servers.

Moana saving Te Kā and restoring Te Fiti in Moana (2016) is still one of Disney’s most beautiful animated sequences. Moana realizing the monster was never meant to be destroyed in the first place. Pure emotional payoff.
English
@yiningkarlli Would love to hear more of these stories! So fascinating.
English
1 TB of RAM in a server is commonplace now, but back in 2016 this was pure nutso territory.
There are so many crazy stories from making Moana. Just a crazy amount of inventing the tech we needed from scratch as the shots that needed the tech were already in production.
