more memories of an idyllic childhood

@oldmedia he was right this would go harder with eyes closed

Wesley Snipes refused to open his eyes for this scene in Blade:Trinity (2004), and so they had to be digitally rendered.

POST A VIDEO YOU NEVER GET TIRED OF

@verge So what are you? You just copy things people say on twitter

Marc Andreessen is a philosophical zombie theverge.com/tldr/897566/ma…

@StasisGame Very cool and looks great!

Something that helps me rapidly produce models is making my own simple texture atlas kits. Ill start with a high res kit - and then make an atlas to match it by rendering out the 'top' views. This ensures the textures are matched - and the elements can be easily mixed as needed. And honestly, often I don't even touch the mid poly pieces - building with the cards is very quick, and the meshes are optimized out the gate.

@opinali called it, though surprised it doesn't get a z buffer x.com/sainimatic/sta…

Daniel got important clarifications from NVIDIA. TLDR: the "DLSS5 skeptical" were right about *everything*. 1⃣ It's a 2D AI Filter. Input is only color buffer & motion vectors. The model doesn't see geometry, lights, PBR properties, normals, anything🧵 youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s

@ancildesign @dhe3g How hard can it be??

@sainimatic @dhe3g iPhone settings search always blows my mind at how useless it is

this is unnecessary af too much bounce too much transparency transitions

@SydneyBattle way to tell the entire world you can't be trusted

i never understood why someone would be scared to pick “truth” in truth or dare growing up. it was like…. you know you can just lie, right?”

@GodzillaCheeze last year, probably spring

@sainimatic When did you make this?

this painting I did keeps getting more relevant and I don't like it

@sukh_saroy What about brushes, can it load photoshop brush sets?

🚨Breaking: Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free. Here's exactly what it changes: → Every keyboard shortcut mapped to match Adobe's official Photoshop layout → Tools reorganized to match the Photoshop panel positions you already know → Canvas space maximized -- same default workspace as Photoshop → Custom splash screen and app icon so it feels like a real product → Pre-defined canvas templates matching Photoshop defaults → Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux -- installs in under a minute Here's the wildest part: Adobe Photoshop costs $600/year. GIMP is free. PhotoGIMP makes it feel like Photoshop. The only reason most designers don't switch is muscle memory every shortcut is in a different place and it feels wrong from the first click. This patch fixes that entirely. Ctrl+Z undo. Ctrl+J duplicate layer. Ctrl+T transform. All of it. Download a zip. Extract to your home folder. Done. 6.7K GitHub stars. Works with GIMP 3.0+. 100% Open Source. GPL-3.0 License. (Link in the comments)

@latestinspace for the people saying "where's the stars": it's photographic exposure. Cameras can't see detail in bright areas and dark areas at the same time, you have to pick a range. Here the range is for the white spacesuits and grey ground hit by direct sun. Stars are much dimmer than that

This upscale of Apollo 15 footage from the moon is insane to watch

@rushicrypto 2 great 2 depression

If the last one was named “The Great” Depression, what’s this one going to be called?

@VFXCentral @capeshitsuccs That would've been cool. Airplane at dusk feeling

@sainimatic @capeshitsuccs Yea it looks overcast soft on him. But then hard light hitting the building below. Everyone approaches lighting different. But I would have had the buildings in shadow and have Spider-Man high enough that the sun touches him only. Right before the sun sets.

not even tryna be like that but can someone tell me what’s wrong with this?

@Kekius_Sage just one more collider bro, but unironically

🚨 Elon Musk says physics has stagnated and AI could overtake scientific research. He says progress has relied on expensive hardware like colliders and telescopes, that slows discovery.

@cosmicfibretion Ligo figure

Building the most sophisticated and sensitive instruments to measure nature slows progress down now? We’ve entered the Twilight Zone.

@capeshitsuccs if you compare it to this, the light is coming from the left in the first shot, and everything in the shot respects that x.com/BestMovieMom/s…

@capeshitsuccs Complete lighting incoherence. You can't get a sun flaring off of glass like that if you're looking down. The sun should also be hitting Spiderman but he looks like he's indoors. Also locked off camera. Bizarre choice at this height.

@JEST0Z also, everyone working on these movies is demoralized

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 had 11 months of post production, Spider-Man Brand New Day filmed in August and wrapped in December giving it only 7 months of post production, hope that helps!

@vasuman woah that's way more time than I thought we had left we were down to hours or minutes in some posts

Updated permanent underclass timer just dropped

What bothers me most about posts like this is how much the tech industry has formatted us to expect things to automatically improve with time. But they don't, especially art. Composition, lighting choices, animation, are subjective creative choices. Also, 12 years is nothing.
