.@BeFXStudios has launched Hurricane for Blender, allowing artists to create complex simulations of fluids, cloth, soft bodies, and grain particles, all interacting together in a single environment.
1/ Today, we’re excited to introduce Lucy 2.5.
Lucy represents a paradigm shift in world models, not just in how generated worlds look, but in how we interact with them.
A thread on what makes it a paradigm shift 👇
The next great American car is a robot.

There is no single robot dog market anymore.
Industry defense research education and companionship now require different machines.
The same four legged architecture is now being used to inspect factories, cross rubble carry sensors test locomotion algorithms teach ROS and support people through companionship.
Here are 32 robot dogs from 15 companies universities and research labs.

✨🇨🇳In China, industrial products are displayed and taught through transparent 3D models. Complex equipment is "disassembled" into visible 3D structures, allowing students to understand every part clearly.
Earlier this year at CES 2026, Hyundai and Boston Dynamics unveiled the new production-ready Atlas humanoid robot.
The fully electric robot is designed to perform real-world tasks with advanced AI and human-like movement.
Atlas is expected to play a key role in Hyundai's future manufacturing and automation.
