Intercellars spaceship design was a fun film to make.

@TomatoBird @_JKNFT_ @moonbirds Nesting 1.0 was better because they had some of the best developers in the space building it. I’m not sure that was the case this time round, I could be wrong. It’s a shame the tech didn’t transfer with the IP I guess 🤷‍♂️

@_JKNFT_ @moonbirds Yeah I personally liked the other nesting better. Ideally I have my nft,

This is a totally novice question, but what happens if the @moonbirds nesting wallet is ever compromised? Is there really anything that differentiates "nesting" from "we'll hold those for you...you can trust me, bro"? What safeguards are there protect our assets?

@ryancarson I’m still using cursor. You prefer this app?

The default way I work now.

Earth has not anything to show more fair Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty This City now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning silent, bare Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie

@CryptoAntonioni @cgpov It uses Claude and others. It’s great I just rebuilt the entire tech stack for Lowther Loudspeakers with it. Took 3 weeks but has saved us over £1k pcm in SaaS costs. Highly recommend.

@cgpov Is Cursor better than the others? Currently using Claude to vibe code

Used Cursor to create some automation tools in Windows 11. One that auto organizes my downloads and another that organizes my test renders. 🤓 Took way less time than using Windows Power Automate too.

It’s new and different sure. I think there is art in the command line. My issue using it is there isn’t enough control to actually art direct. It’s mostly just accepting what the AI came up with and moving on. More of a “that’s good enough” attitude than “There I’m finished” result. It’s getting better though. I love the comfyUI idea and what photoshop is doing is great.

I have this partially-formed hypothesis that artist backlash against generative AI crystalized largely in response to text-driven user interfaces. The art world has come to accept tools like Photoshop (and earlier, photography itself) that still share the aesthetics of traditional art creation. If MidJourney, ChatGPT, DALL·E, etc had interfaces along the lines of Nvidia Canvas from 2020 (pictured below), it would look enough like existing tools that critique would look purist and elitist. Art via command line, on the other hand, looks sufficiently Other that you can easily berate the users as Not Artists. "You just typed a few words, you aren't an artist!" has a better ring than "Your drawing skills rely on Photoshop somewhat more than mine, you aren't an artist!"

@motionpunk1 Would love this. Love watching your explorations.

Quick work decompression test. Thinking of doing a native c4d particles session for Patreon. Would you be interested to get to know how to get the most out of the new system?

@eyedesyn 🤣😂

This is mesh2motion’s 6th update, meanwhile Mixamo updates be like…

There’s still a massive opportunity for artists in 3D packaging visualization. When you start with dielines from Illustrator, you can build accurate prototypes that stay true to the designer’s intent. Converting those dielines into planes and using the folds as guides helps you retopologize cleanly and understand how the structure comes together. It’s a technique that removes the guesswork. You can work directly with design teams, apply artwork precisely, and prototype in real scale and quickly. It also gives you a real understanding of how different materials and substrates behave when rendered or lit. What’s missing in much of today’s AI-generated work is that attention to detail. Accuracy and brand equity often get lost in the process, and that’s something 3D can protect. That’s why imo 3D has such a high ceiling. It’s accurate, consistent, and flexible. It connects naturally with 2D pipelines and can evolve into full production-ready workflows that scale.

How much control did you have over just posting what the llm came up with itself? I’m struggling to get any minutiae detail out of these things to the point that it’s just unusable. Especially when you try and push it longer than a couple of seconds. It’s coming for sure but we need an animation version of cursor. Even cursor can’t handle bigger projects without a hack or too. Not against hacks! Just not sure the time/cost adds up to doing it with capture and maya.

The world of storytelling and visual creation is changing fast. AI is a mind-blowing creative booster, I still can’t wrap my head around how it’s shaking up the industry! I made this using Midjourney for animation images, Grok for video (it totally gets your prompts and directions), Suno v5 for the soundtrack, and Topaz for crisp upscaling. Buckle up, the world’s transforming fast!

Lowther’s final Open Weekend of 2025 takes place 14–15 November at our Foundry Street Listening Room in Northampton. Hear the new Field Coil, SuperTweeter, Acousta QW, and 2ft Voigt Horns — each built and tuned by hand. RSVP→ hello@lowtherloudspeakers.com | +44 (0)20 8300 9166

@eyedesyn @OTOY @rendernetwork So powerful.

If you've been wanting to use @OTOY @rendernetwork in Cinema 4D, it's never been easier! @otoy just dropped a new Render Network Wizard for #C4D that allows you to quickly and easily prep your scenes to send to Render Network! Works with Redshift and Octane too! know.rendernetwork.com/getting-starte…

@DrewBarman @cobie @coinbase @MythicBirbs @moonbirds @echodotxyz Beer or cocktail?

So if @cobie's Mythic was worth 25mil This perfect Mythic has got to be 50Mil. @coinbase my DM's are open! I am convinced that this is the best in class :) @MythicBirbs @moonbirds @echodotxyz

@cgpov Nice. I’m going to follow your lead. Thanks again Chad.

@peterfsnell Love mine. I have the M3 ultra that has the extra GPU cores. 256gb RAM

Day 3: SimpleCollapse Combine multiple objects into one clean mesh without wrecking your hierarchy. It duplicates your selection, merges everything, and adds polygon selection tags for each original piece. Simple, fast, and tidy. See all the scripts here: tinyurl.com/2v2k438x

@Jason Exactly.

@peterfsnell The Nike logo is really easy to steal

South Park is worth $25m+ as an exclusive for an LLM — easily Make South Park creations only available to paid users and watch paid subs increase dramatically

Animators have been able to make replica South Park episodes for years. The art style is purposely simple. This is terrible and proves the writing is what counts. But the point remains, if another company is using the IP for commercial benefit, that company (and anyone else with a commercial benefit - including influencers) should be sued into oblivion.

Sora just banned South Park videos because people were making full fake episodes. This is fully ai generated.

@DrewBarman @goodvibesclub @moonbirds @doodles @ronnyguy You know it’s a good time when you are throwing parties again!

MEET-UP November 11th at 8 pm. San Juan, Puerto Rico. La Factoria - One of the top 50 bars in the world. You are invited. Really hoping @goodvibesclub @moonbirds and @doodles will be there. If you know anyone in one of these communities from PR- please tag! @ronnyguy @chrisguyot I hope to see you and hope you will do a Discord Announcement. @bigbiceps - can we get an announcement up?

@ReflctWillie @Jason @LowtherOfficial Nice implementation of the splat! I’ll check it out today.

@peterfsnell @Jason @LowtherOfficial Thanks! Yeah it's using 3D Gaussian Splatting to create the 3D asset from photos. If you haven't come across it before it's amazing tech, photorealistic 3D in the browser wasn't possible before. Send me a DM if you want to chat more

1. What are you working on this weekend? 2. What are you doing to relax or have fun? [ you can promote stuff you’re working on ]

@sergedoub @Jason That season of foundation was epic. Actually liked brother day for a bit there!

@Jason 1. building personal n8n automation to parse through email newsletters and write useful summaries into my “daily brief” obsidian note 2. watching foundation
