Do blend files embed textures inside? If not I should be able to use textures to create materials.

Neat! Wonder if I can get it working with Houdini/USD by translating API!

We have achieved Godot 5 internally at the Godot Foundation, but it is too powerful to be released. We need a bajillion dollars. Thanks 💸

Laika does quite a lot in CGI as well do t remember which year it was but I seen their presentation about rendering cloths

this is quite neat when is explicit, took me by surprise when I was writing simple function and(at least with my current level of knowledge) I don't see how I would predict when something I call creates output

also it’s really different than POSIX(like) shells, usually I use to write relatively simple automation scripts when I’m on windows and I cannot use Python, I’m sure my experience would be different if it would be larger and more structured project but it’s not usually what I have to do

Verbosity is one but it’s minor annoyance, sometimes instead of using common POSIX utility it have it own thing sometimes not(archive command vs tar), collecting every output as return value is confusing, for many things whole package is little bit too much for simple script

Would be fun if they would stick with Couche-Tard name instead of Circle-K, also fun fact Quebec have around 5% stake in Couche-Tard

Also this can bring more tax revenue, as a lot of people who normally would be at home would go out

Not sure how it works in UK but afaik in Poland speed cameras are handled by separate agency under Inspector of Roadway Transport which is separate to Police and I suspect use software made in Poland, while in US use software like Flock and it’s handled by cops which change optics.

I don’t think there is anything that would help with that but ie. OpenColorIO can handle a lot of things related to colours and profiles.

Paweł - legomyrstan @legomyrstan.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Maybe libraries from VFX reference platform could help? All are cross platform and handle some things well🙂

AE have weird enough user base that is hard to cover and large enough to make sense as base of software ie. route which Cavalry and Autograph took

Other insentives are also in play. Explaining something in deep usually takes a lot of times and relatively small audience. Behaviour of companies training LLMs make it only worst since if it’s open it’s privatised and sold, if it’s sold it’s stolen quickly.

The fantastic GDC 2024 talk by Vesa Paakkanen about OpenUSD workflows at Remedy is now free to see on the GDC vault: gdcvault.com/play/1034201... It goes into detail of OpenUSD workflows in their 3D editor, Northlight, for things such as variants, edit targeting, schemas, overrides, and more.

The complexity and size of the game worlds is ever-increasing and tools need to meet that demand. At Remedy, we have been working on new tools and tech stack to allow us to build worlds faster and wit...

-retirement plans are based on XIX assumption of growing population -that does not take into account that economy of states work different than economy of companies -in particular Polish labour market is broken by deregulation -a lot of companies acts in extractive ways and don’t pay proper taxes

Interested in how Geometry Nodes work in Blender? In this blog I walk through the process of making a 3D node-based renderer from scratch using #WebGPU and Typescript. whoisryosuke.com/blog/2026/we...

In this blog I’ll break down the process of writing a node based renderer for WebGPU, what the architecture looks like, and how it practically works.

The MOPs tool for orienting curves using parallel transport is eight years old now, and mostly made obsolete by Houdini's native tool for it, but I wanted to revisit our old implementation and improve it a bit anyways. I documented how it works here: www.toadstorm.com/blog/?p=1168

Both gen AI and meat industry is example of inefficiency which is largely subsided and have way to much influence on state actors than it should have. Vegetarianism and efficient low energy problem solving ftw!

Cavalry is cool but it’s not exactly total alternative to AE. Cavalry is great for motion graphics(and a lot more procedural) but it’s even worst at compositing than AE.
