@higgsfield_ai sent us a cease and desist last night, asking us to shut down our Open Source Higgsfield challenge.

Our read on why they sent it. When the apps people pay for can be rebuilt in the open in two weeks, that’s an uncomfortable thing for a closed platform to watch.

So here’s us reiterating our promise to every builder in the challenge and community, and we’re keeping it:

• The challenge stays open
• Final submissions close tomorrow, Oct 30
• Winners are announced Nov 6, with prizes paid as promised

You showed up for each other. We’re showing up for you.

If we win, we all win!

Comfy out 🫡

@runwayml Tried this and it’s definitely not 16bit, the EXR still exhibits a lot of banding. Yes the value range has been pushed beyond 0-1 but it feels like a rudimentary range expansion and not a true 16bit. There’s no information in the lows and highs. I call BS

@Matarawi_Film This is crazy! How are you doing it realtime? Any links?

Lighting and comp bring the world to life, but it all begins with animation.

Here’s how those layers meet in the final frame!

@liuwilliam @Degen_Bald_Boy This is cooool @liuwilliam! Are you guys using it with video or stills atm?

Remember this, because it applies post AI.

The law of stakes:
As availability increases, meaning requires higher stakes.

Creation without stakes produces variation, not meaning.

@shilstone_arts Been seeing this consolidation across the board, really sad for the film industry. I guess it’s up to us now!

Inflatable Unicorn — from model to magic 🦄🎈

Here’s a smooth look at our Inflatable Unicorn’s journey: starting with a clean 3D model that nails the air-filled silhouette, then revealing the wireframe where tidy edge flow shapes panel seams and the valve, and finally the polished render—glossy vinyl, soft speculars, faint scuffs, and a touch of translucency. One playful character, carried from tidy geo to a finish that feels ready to squeak off the screen.

@MunozArthur1 Text-book example of selling weight. 👌 this is what I’ll reference when I tell students how to make it feel heavy, even down to the camera shake.

For any wannabe animators - this is 'probably' the first exercize you should do.
No fancy rigs, no rotoscope, just observation.
Two balls, one bowling, one Ping-pong.
Two different weight profiles to train your 🧠 on convincing weight.

@shilstone_arts It was foretold then and now it’s happening in real time!

[Robbie Shilstone @shilstone_arts]

So stoked to have @ZenDoubt in on Publique. We talked years ago about this project, now on the tail end of releases and we’re making it happen.

This step is truly the hardest step of all in filmmaking as I’ve come to understand.

[Fortiche prod @ForticheProd]

Our storyboarders are architects of the action.💥

Witness how they rip the staging out of Arcane Season 2's script, a vital phase for nailing the choregraphic moments. In other words: they blend artistry with mechanics of cinematic language.
