It's been a few years since my kids had a play with the Home Circuit car, so thought it would be neat to try and hook it up to a ESP32 to play around without a switch.

@key_vfx @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @andrewpprice @JonathanWinbush @SirWrender @badxstudio 🤨, hmm Nuke in LA could out of context maybe get flagged by a silly automated system. Can’t see what else would cause it. But that is like years ago.

@CompAcademyVFX It was released a few years ago, tho invite/request only. I have yet to stress test it as the tracing is still being worked on, but with enough vram you should be able to go to a decent size.

And looks awesome, there is a lot of cool cloud tech from the gaming scene to tap into.

Had a blast playing around with #EmberGen during the holidays, so decided to make a little bridge to Nuke (and Fusion via OFX), to get some quick volumes into Nuke.

@RohanCreates Neat😍

@daxcity @LunarSoftware Such an amazing bite-sized journey. Audio and Visual stimuli. 🦾🤖🦿

[Mads Hagbarth Damsbo @xads]

@seevua @andreasgysin Thats neat

[Mads Hagbarth Damsbo @xads]

@titomaldegorf It is still on the drawing board (pun intended)

[Mads Hagbarth Damsbo @xads]

Doodling around with my drawing app. Not sure where this is going, but with a bit of work it could be interesting.

@misaki_mofujp 😰

@artixels haha, with Wan2.2 coming in 2 weeks and 2.5/3 later this year i think that is a uphill battle😅

[Mads Hagbarth Damsbo @xads]

@artixels One of those that is somehow allready in my bookmarks, but forgotten all about it 🫣
But it's quite fun to play around with i assume.

[Mads Hagbarth Damsbo @xads]

A few more tests, this time from the back yard combining some basic Nuke masking with mask sampling and inpt.
The idea is to provide a basic growth mask as a guide, then the mask sampler expands the mask to the size of the projected latent output giving a bit of wriggle room.

I was doing a demo at Midas on VACE and was asked if we could make a thing burn, and it failed miserably😅. One thing is to make a thing burn, the other is how do you control placement, flow and look of that fire. So spend a few late nights tinkering...

@Aurelien_Gz I bought a ps3 just to Play flOw and Flower… then journey came… favorite console generation 🥰

[Mads Hagbarth Damsbo @xads]

Haha, yea.

But exactly, or just damaged film in general. I guess my point is if you can do it analytically, then a model can do it as well.

At my previous employer NordiskFilm they had a film restoration department that did nothing but scanning old film, dust and grain busting and then onto the grade. In VFX we did a few touchups for things that were too damaged mostly inventing stuff that was not there to begin with like you say, but trying to be faithful to the original material as possible.

At the end of the day it is like game remasters, if you can keep it faithful (and consistent) to the original material then why not? (We need to fix eye-gaze tho, it seem like every model struggles with this, even with guides.)

[Mads Hagbarth Damsbo @xads]

@guycalledfrank Ohh yes works the other way around as well☺️, I remember that time when a Skype image appeared inside Nuke when reading from a uninitialized buffer (opencl). It’s actually an interesting way of beaming data from one process to another over the GPU.

@maksvanleeuwen Congrats with the release Max! Looks solid!!
