🔥52 Hindu Princes were once held in a prison by an evil emperor. A Sikh Guru thought of an ingenious way to set them free.

Treat your children to a beautiful book inspired by Sikh history 🙏🏽

GoFundMe launches TOMORROW!

I’ve added 2 extra interior WIP's to the video to give fans even more of the WOW factor

All-or-nothing—so shares in the first 1–3 days make a HUGE difference

Crowd in crowdfunding!

Huge thanks to @rendernetwork for support in making it happen

If you could create anything, what would you build?

AI has removed most of the technical barriers to creating. You can ship a working phone app or any digital content in a couple of days now.
The results online range from amazing to very sloppy.

But being able to build...

@SpenserFX is ready.

Catch him on stage in the next few minutes at @Mo_Plus_Design NYC, then stop by the Render Network booth and say hi.

Blender has become an incredibly powerful and important part of the 3D ecosystem. Moving forward its role only gets bigger as the tools and workflows continue to evolve.

Watch @JulesUrbach of @OTOY present The Future of Rendering at #BCON26, exploring where rendering is headed and how Blender continues to empower artists building what comes next. 🔥

3DGS is powerful, but it has one obvious limitation: it’s static.

So I pushed the same workflow into 4DGS.

For this test, I took an animated lion walk cycle with 251 frames and over 4 million hairs, then rendered it from 20 camera views in @Blender + Cycles using @rendernetwork

That produced a 5,020 frame dataset, ran across 4 parallel jobs with dozens of concurrent frames rendering and finished in about 8 hours. On my local 5090 workstation, that same workload would have taken roughly 288 hours!!!

From there, I trained 251 splats (one PLY per frame) with Postshot CLI, at a little over 4 minutes per frame.

The result is a near real-time 4DGS lion asset that I can duplicate 100x, offset for staggered motion, and even relight in @OTOY OctaneRender. 🔥

What makes this even more exciting is that everything just worked - and now that the sequence has been rendered on Render Network, the full 251-PLY sequence is hashed and persistent through Render Networks Differential Upload feature.

That means anytime I want to use this asset again in a new 3D scene, the data is already live on Render Network. Uploading the 4GB sequence is completely bypassed during scene upload and job submission.

That’s a huge win - not just for converting a heavy animated asset into something modular and real-time, but for making it reusable, fast to deploy, and practical across future render workflows in both Cycles and Octane for ANYONE who uses this same splat sequence within their scene.

3D to splat conversion keeps getting cooler.

Really looking forward to this one. See you in NYC next week! 🙌🙌

Made my first 3D Gaussian Splat using an @insta360 X6 at @conf3rence

Pretty cool and super easy to do!

[Sunny Osahn @SunnyOsahn]

@TrekShorts Great work as always Sam!

[TrekShorts @TrekShorts]

Very proud to say our 60th Anniversary film Wrath of Khan era fan film released 9 hours ago just hit 10,000 views!!

It's wonderful to see this film resonating with so many Star Trek fans.

Check it out and share the word. For Fans By Fans

I gotta try this

[Hank @h4nkdog]

I've never felt more like Tony Stark than I do now. Using my Meta Quest, I can just throw 3D models at my 3D printers to have them start printing it😂

[Sunny Osahn @SunnyOsahn]

@jungleskellam Happy to give you credits to try decentralised compute if you fancy it! DM’s are open

[Sunny Osahn @SunnyOsahn]

@nothaslu Looks good man

[Sunny Osahn @SunnyOsahn]

So many thoughts about this

1) I was born in the right timeline
2) I need to get designing again
3) projects with the kids are about to get a whole lot more interesting!

[nim @eminimnim]

Vibe hardware is here.

I gave Astra my credit card and asked for a Teenage Engineering-style mini DJ controller.

It generated a concept image, sourced parts, read Chinese datasheets, built a CAD model, ordered everything, then made a Blender animation showing how to assemble it.

[Sunny Osahn @SunnyOsahn]

@SchietsSteve @rendernetwork @conf3rence @Dispersed_ai Thanks Steve!

[Sunny Osahn @SunnyOsahn]

On 16th Sept I will be on the Main Stage at @conf3rence in Dortmund, talking about ‘Agentic AI and the Battle for Compute Infrastructure.’

If you’re about, say hi
See you in Dortmund. 👋

@CheAnayo @rendernetwork @conf3rence @Dispersed_ai Thank you Che!

[The Render Network @rendernetwork]

AI agents need compute. Who powers it is becoming one of the biggest questions in AI.

Render Network Foundation’s @SunnyOsahn is joining the “Agentic AI and the Battle for Compute Infrastructure” panel at @conf3rence on Sept 16 at 11:10 CEST in Dortmund.

He’ll be joined by Thomas Lüke (@googlecloud) and André Liesenfeld (@Microsoft) with Daniel Heinen moderating.
