@minhealthnz 12000 people died in the world today from covid, the average death per day of cancer is 12000. Today covid killed as many people per day as cancer, cancer people, cancer!

Testing the Real Caustics add-on by Sergei Zakharov… and wow, it looks insanely good. Finally proper caustics in Blender! Get it on Superhive:

In some of my tests, Sparc3D produced the results from a single photo that are, frankly, quite crazy.

@rootsmanuva Merry Xmas!

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Forget everything you thought about EEVEE.
It's not just a preview engine in Blender 5.0 anymore.

This is photorealtime.

Meet EEVEE Realistic Lighting & Rendering. The future is here, and it renders in fractions of a second.

@MatterCg This addon is so cool!

[Vega @Vegacut]

@MatterCg How do you capture these dome hdris?

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

True. Dome projection for HDRIs is such a step-up, compared to the default sphere - you won't believe how good it can look.

@falsedeities Yeah he supports the IDF too, so yeah, that’s a nail in the coffin for me. I got my name from reservoir dogs, mr blondes real name is vic Vega. I loved kill bill, Jackie brown, pulp fiction, reservoir dogs but now it’s tainted.

This is not a mechanical frog! 🐸

It's a tripteron, a parallel-axis manipulator.

Basically, a XYZ platform that moves in three directions using precision linear stages.

The movement system is based on a kinematic design from Laval University, optimized for stability and efficiency with fewer moving parts.

A key feature is the single long base axis, which simplifies the structure while allowing wide-range movement.

The real beauty of mechanical engineering! 😮‍💨

I’ve had many conversations with very intelligent folks about this issue. Too many think this way:

“I don’t care what country wins at robots. What difference does it make to me?”

I’ll ask the question again when they look out the window and there’s 1000 of these in the street.

Fun & likely unintended use case for #NanoBananaPro: image→3D point cloud

Prompt: This is a rendering of a 3D model of a person. Make an accurate image of the corresponding normal map.

Then I run Poisson-based normals→3D

Pretty amazing for a general-purpose 2D image model 🤩

@HYPEX @SpushFNBR @Dabomb772yt I love this season

[Vega @Vegacut]

@8Infinite8 @1x_tech They should operate locally with the option of plugging in wifi or putting in a wifi card. You should also be able to format and clean install if you need to connect to update firmware etc.

Logitech Muse for Apple Vision Pro is here, and I've got some first impressions!

@mattworkman Wow

#geometrynodes VDB Color Transfer. Initial color from ground gets transfered and mixed! Great for explosions and such. Wip2 #b3d

[Vega @Vegacut]

@DuckbillStudio Congratulations! Well deserved.
