@directorshobhit @jaipur_police @JprRuralPolice @jpr_traffic This is unacceptable. Need to take strict action against them @jaipur_police

Check out this amazing experiment by @diveshnaidoo using @Simulon and @GoogleDeepMind

[Divesh Naidoo @diveshnaidoo]

The Future is Hybrid

Experiment 1: “Physically” picking up a virtual 3D figure and placing it in a new location.

Traditional VFX: very difficult.
GenAI-only: no intention, no control.

Hybrid: used @Simulon to lock placement/scale/lighting + start/end frames, then use @GoogleDeepMind Veo to generate the interaction between them.

Full breakdown + decision trail on Substack.

Super random test done using @ragdolldynamics for my Godzilla Rig.
Will be releasing the Ragdoll version of the rig soon on my gumroad page.

Check out this detailed breakdown of this Crocodile walk cycle which was rendered/composited in real world footage using @Simulon
I have tried to include all the steps from Rigging to final render in the app itself

@animinhtion @SaidVazmor So so good.

[Mrinal Soni @mrinalfreestyle]

@mork_animates Epic stuff

[Mrinal Soni @mrinalfreestyle]

Happy to share this Reference vs Viewport vs Final render comparison of the Baby Rexy animation I did some time back for @Simulon
The tracking, lighting and rendering all was done using the App and with very few clicks.

I think we just built the most insane 3D VFX workflow.

Precision reality editing with @Simulon + Blender.

• Scan the real world in seconds
• Edit in Blender
• Sync + reopen in Simulon
• View & shoot in real-time AR
• Photoreal cloud render in minutes

Will share a BTS of this clip shortly.

When I made this animation as a style test, I started flirting with stepped animation. There’s something about the texture it adds to the motion that I can’t get enough of.

[Divesh Naidoo @diveshnaidoo]

It’s actually crazy to just casually shoot vfx footage in public like this. Here’s one at Golden Gate the very next morning.

[Divesh Naidoo @diveshnaidoo]

Test footage of the bigger T-Rex I filmed during our visit to Golden Gate Park, SF.
Tried to capture a bit of that classic Jurassic Park terror.

Made with Simulon and added the atmospheric fog in with our Blender plugin.

🔊 Sound on.

@speedrun @Simulon 🤣🤣

[Mrinal Soni @mrinalfreestyle]

Finally the wait is over.
SIMULON is here.

[Simulon @Simulon]

Simulon is here.
Studio-quality VFX, end-to-end, in one app for every skill level.

Watch Rexy go from 3D to reality in his first short film “Rexy to the Rescue!”  

Made with Simulon on iPhone.
Available now on the iOS App Store.

[Mrinal Soni @mrinalfreestyle]

Baby rexy is here. Exciting announcement coming next week 😉

[Divesh Naidoo @diveshnaidoo]

Meet Rexy, our Chief Announcement Officer @Simulon.

Creators are entering an exciting new world and creative software companies can go two ways - automate human intention or empower it.
We choose to empower.

Rexy has an announcement next week 💫

[Mrinal Soni @mrinalfreestyle]

@blendertipss @80Level @InstinctionGame This was made in Autodesk Maya :)

[Mrinal Soni @mrinalfreestyle]

@fathomer2004 @InstinctionGame No the rig is completely joint/blendshape based.
