[Jason Key @key_vfx]

Blender 5.1 alpha w/ DLSS viewport denoising. Very impressive, although it has trouble with volumetrics, transparency & dynamic lights. Download link to the compiled version in 🧵#b3d

17,000 tokens per second!! Read that again!
LLM is hard-wired directly into silicon. no HBM, no liquid cooling, just raw specialized hardware. 10x faster and 20x cheaper than a B200.
the "waiting for the LLM to think" era is dead. Code generates at the speed of human thought.
Transition from brute-force GPU clusters to actual AI appliances.

DLSS in Blender is pretty interesting. #b3d

[Sandra @sandraleow]

Krea AI killed it with their real-time editing feature

this is a level up for architecture & home design (and beyond)

you can paint, drag and drop, or prompt changes - and watch them render in real time(!)

Image to Normal Map
Using only Nano Banana Pro 🍌

I’m pretty sure this is what normal maps looks like. But what do I know.

New Blender 5.0 Volume grid nodes are awesome! Points to volume yielding some really cool results. I’ll have a tutorial up on Patreon tomorrow and have a more official thing for YouTube later. #b3d #blender #geometrynodes

[ashlee! @ashlee3dee]

ohhh so if you derive the normal for an SDF you can pass it into the principled BSDF shader and render fake geometry with environment reflections and lighting :d

[Tencent Hy @TencentHunyuan]

We're thrilled to launch our new Hunyuan3D 3.0! It features 3x higher precision, 1536³ geometric resolution, and 3.6B voxel ultra-HD modeling for stunning detail.🔥🔥🔥

I believe they made a little tool for designers to accurately place lighting PER VIEW, same as for packshots.

And I found the files – they're loaded on the page as separate glTF files which contain little "light dots" and "shadow dots" in front of a neutral environment:

[herbst @hybridherbst]

Apple's 3D viewer is based on @threejs, uses @glTF3D and gets more impressive every year!

CAD meshes, environment blends, reflection probes, occlusion: let's take a look at what's special this time –

Relight a video with just a click!

I re-lit videos on my machine in minutes using @NVIDIAAIDev's DiffusionRenderer locally on my PC.

Imagine when this runs in real time.

I break down what you are seeing in the 🧵

Every robot you see is a data firehose generating terabytes of chaos.

This hidden crisis is the #1 reason robots fail, and it's costing the industry billions.

You see hardware, but not the data swamp drowning engineers.

In 2025, a quiet revolution is fixing it. Here’s how. 🧵

3D polygon diffusion is one of the coolest things I've ever seen

[Miettinen Jesse - Embrace FX @JesseMiettinen]

#b3d Compositor nodes. How long has the displace node been there? Never noticed :D but you can use a normal map to do camera lens rain!
