launched my new project! all done by AI.

[Velocity @Watch_Velocity]

Hollywood spent $100M+ and years to make The Social Network, WeCrashed, SuperPumped.

they're too slow.

introducing Velocity.
legendary tech stories, shipped fast with AI.

first drop: Twitter Wars

which company should be next?

AI is everywhere however what comes next?

Community.

I just met @niravtolia, CEO and Co-Founder at @Nextdoor - the largest local community platform in the U.S., used by 1 in 3 households for news and events.

Nextdoor started from the ashes of a failed startup. It grew into a household name. Then it struggled. Then Nirav came back as CEO.

Here are my 6 biggest takeaways from today's episode 👇

1. The crucible moment is about survival, not strategy.

There is no spreadsheet. There is no long-term plan. There is only the courage to keep going when things are at their darkest.

2. The only tolerable way through is with other people.

Find co-founders you like, respect, and trust equally. Someone who stays when everyone else heads for the exits.

3. Coming back is harder than starting.

The answer is never to go back. Learn from every chapter, but always be building phase three.

4. Incumbency is the straightest path to irrelevance.

Standing still is moving backwards. The companies that survive are the ones brave enough to reinvent themselves before someone else does it for them.

5. AI and human connection are not in competition.

The internet was the age of information. AI is the age of intelligence. What comes next is the age of human connection.

6. Whatever you've achieved, Bill Gurley wants you to 10x it.

Not iterate. Multiply. High expectations paired with genuine belief is the rarest thing an investor can offer a founder.

Full episode live now. Link in comments. Such an incredible story!

- AssetHub officially launched
- Using Metahuman Component as parts system in UEFN

This is crazy! Just discovered I can use the Metahuman Component in UEFN as a general parts system! Perfect for modular characters.

So I had to test it out. First step: character design. With GPT Image 2 I got some really solid characters to work with. These are perfect to test anime/ lowpoly models as well.

@AssetHub also officially launched so I jumped on a fresh workflow to build the first one. Since I’m aiming for an anime/flat shaded style, I chose Tripo P1 to generate straight to low poly models. Results were perfect for me, UV and textured directly done.

Did the main assembly in Blender. I transferred weights onto the new parts (like the jacket here) and used proportional editing to tweak vertices so everything fits together nicely.

Then into UEFN / Unreal Engine:

For the two-tone shadow look, I made a material that uses the sun direction as a mask. To make all the modular parts work together, I set up a blueprint with the body skeletal mesh as the base, and all the other parts attached as children.

Now the really cool part: the Metahuman Component actually lets you plug in extra body parts directly. And every skeletal mesh can have its own Control Rig slot.

That means you can layer procedural animations on top of your main animation setup. I used it for procedural eye blinking and hair physics.

Since every part is separate, swapping variations is super easy while keeping all animations perfectly synced!

@assethub_io yup

opus 4.7 is pretty smart today why

[Datz Daito @190k]

@nivi this. content has been extremely expensive unlike software. now everyone will be a creator no matter what they have
