Making a #WebGPU implementation of Lucas Alber's Markov Chain Path Guiding GI paper

I just got the horrible news that artist Chris Stoski has passed away. As well as working at some of the biggest named companies in FX and animation (ILM, IMD, Matte World Digital), we were so lucky that he agreed to contribute to our indie book project "The Story Of Inc" back in 2015...

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Maybe all those CEOs saying that AI is an answer to bloated team sizes and ballooning budgets should take a look at No Man's Sky and try to replicate whatever they're doing. Cause I don't particularly like what it has become but that small team has no issue pumping out insane amounts of work.

My pal and fellow Scottish developer Chris Brown recently put his solo-dev racing game AGX GP up on Steam and you should definitely give it a look if you like AAA Wipeout visuals with ridiculously-fast twitch arcade gameplay. store.steampowered.com/app/4250680/...

New short video up on youtube about what are Visual Design Pillars, and how to use them to craft your projects www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDk_... #arttip #artdirection #productiondesign #gamedev

We only have AI since such a short time and ppl cannot even remember anymore that computers can do other things than AI 😭.

User in the library asked me, if AI can copy a text of a website into an E-Mail. Told her about "copy-paste" and she asked "With the AI?" I said no, with your mouse." 😭😭😭

Indeed.It.s the best Marvel related content Disney has ever produced. Amazing acting by all involved.

Adding a trail option.

I’ll also add a separate polish brush (won’t be a perfect match to zbrush hpolish but should be closer than the current flatten).

Yup, its a cool video, the archives folk were always on the hunt for artwork, a lot of gems would be found on our desks under a ton of random papers.

In #GPSketch 1.5, you can also import brushes from Krita, Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint!

The tool will do its best to convert them with your settings in Blender but with the sidebar, you'll be able to tweak them with ease, then export them into your library!

It's pretty great (even awesome depending on your usage) its paint & watercolor mixing simulation is quite impressive. The fact that it's free is mind-blowing IMO given it's feature set & quality. Only downside is still no Android support (sucks for me now that I have an Android tablette)

Slightly OT.. Have you ever tried sketching using Adobe Fresco ?

I made this sci-fi puppetry 60s pastiche. CGI, almost completely physics-animated. Love letter to things like Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5, Space Patrol, and watching foreign television only to lose it forever afterwards youtu.be/ME7SVM7bwKU?si=jUYR6APY28kPCUqk
