We received this from Erella Ganon.... It portrays many of the feelings of those who shared their experiences with us during this important program. Thank you Erella.

Let me share a long-awaited behind-the-scenes video of how @Simulon works.

It all starts with setting up a scene. You set the location, lighting conditions and capture the light map with a few turns.

After that, you can capture the environment mesh using the Lidar scanner.

That's the moment the fun begins. You can bring in your #3D models with animations and capture a video of up to 50" using the #AR preview on screen.

After that is done, you send the footage to the cloud and in a couple of minutes you get back an incredible #CGI shot.

And this is just the beginning. Follow @GabRoXR to see how @Simulon integrates with #Blender and in a full #VFX workflow.

A special thanks to @diveshnaidoo for sharing early access and for building something 🤯

New review! Harold Halibut succeeds in telling the most heartfelt sci-fi story I have ever experienced in a video game. Do yourself a favor and play it.

Great statement from Asna Tabassum, the student whose words and presence USC found to be ‘a threat to safety’

[Ben Lang @benz145]

For what Apple is trying to accomplish with "spatial computing" their 'flat app' approach is actually genius.

First, they get the benefit of 1 million+ iPad apps running on the headset from day one. That's massive value that only one other company (Google) *might* be able to achieve. The rest couldn't buy that advantage even if they wanted to.

Second, over time, iPad apps that have real demand on Vision Pro will be made into native VisionOS apps to take advantage of core VisionOS features.

Third, native VisionOS apps will naturally *extend* their functionality into 3D, only where there is value in doing so.

So instead of a developer saying "what would twitter look like in 3D?" and getting completely lost trying to port a fundamentally flat app into a 3D experience, they can simply say "ok so we have the flat twitter experience we already know and love running on VisionOS, but wouldn't it be nice if we could allow people to embed and view 3D assets in tweets, the same way we do with photos?" or "Let's support spatial video playback for spatial videos attached to tweets."

Thereby only extending functionality where it's actually useful, and not getting lost trying to rebuild every single part of a tried and true flat app into some 3D interactive thing that doesn't work as well as its flat counterpart.

It's going to take time, but apps are going to naturally evolve to take advantage of spatial capabilities over time and in response to demand and value.

Joe Flaherty was kind enough to fish out his old costume and reprise Count Floyd for one last time on one of my MonsterVision episodes and he was hilarious. One of the nicest guys ever. R.I.P.

Would you believe me if I said that every element here was sculpted, textured, lit, animated from scratch and running in realtime using Playstation 4 software on a PS5?

In just a few hours? Imagine this kind of tool combined with generative ai.. A match made in Dreams 😉

We’re looking to hire some concept & technical artists & an animator for one of the official Flat2VR games we’re working on!

If you have any interest, please get in touch here! https://t.co/0TXEvNCj69

Proud to be the 247th 😎 on @BackerKit for Art of Wax. Thanks @elsatierney https://t.co/7HShq9xjoq

[Ron Martin @CelluloidMirror]

@mirror2mask What a fantastic role! I’m very excited to see what develops there with your leadership!

[Ron Martin @CelluloidMirror]

@tvaziri Such a fantastic role for JLC. What a frightful series which opens the viewers minds and hearts to the hope of the elusive American dream.

[Martin Nebelong @MartinNebelong]

Another video in my series of "Is this the future of 3D sculpting?" videos. Combining Dreams, the most visionary 3D tool ever made, with Krea ai, that might very well turn out to be a big player in the creative space over the next few years.

Let me know your thoughts about how realistic you think it is to imagine working like this.

@willgoldstone I have a trash can (for cheap) that will go with those very well!

Perhaps in some parallel universe, we could immerse ourselves in the flow of 'Astral Sonata' in such a venue🥴

[Troy Kirwin @tkexpress11]

I worked on an early, very different iteration of the @unity pricing changes ~1 yr ago

My thoughts:
1. Unity strategically had no choice but to make changes
2. Devs are upset, but it isn't quite as bad as it seems
3. Unity's comms & implementation wasn't great
