Am I an old man, or was Zootopia 2 too zany and "le random" for others? A recurring joke throughout the film: "Look at this totally normal looking animal over here" *animal whips head around* "RARRRRRRGH!" "oh"

Anyone know what happened to @odd_enough? He had so many useful posts about topology.
@odd_enough Question for you: How would you solve this challenge? I've been playing with it for close to an hour, but I can't remove the kinks 😅 Here's the .blend if you want to play with it: https://t.co/thCwBWojZT

How do animators feel about tools like this? On one hand it's extreme automation, but on the other it's still guided by hand. It might put some animators in large productions out of work today, but exponentially increase the number of productions made tomorrow.
Lots of discussion under this post about “AI”, so just to clarify: Cascadeur’s ML is trained only on our own Xsens-recorded mocap and animation data. It runs locally and just fills the in-betweens - the acting and style are entirely yours. No scraped or third-party datasets.

PSA: in Blender 5.0 if you add an image texture with a name like wood_1442.jpg it thinks _1442 is referencing a UDIM. And since it can't find it and it'll appear purple. The solution is to change the source from UDIM Tiles to Single Image. #b3d

There's a grey area between using AI to brainstorm some character names, and an entire AI asset flip. Technically both instances are "Made with AI". The problem is "Made with AI" means something different to many people. I think it needs to be more specific. What I'd like to
Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labeling games as 'made with AI' 🎮 "It makes no sense for game stores where AI will be involved in nearly all future production"

To clarify, I too would like to know the tools behind a project. The assets used, the inspiration, the references, what was automated vs hand-made. That helps me as a buyer. But self-confession only works if it can be enforced. And it can't, so it's a bad solution.

Lots of people disagreeing with Tim are missing the point. If you had the option to tag your 3D models on marketplaces with a net carbon estimate, and putting any figure caused a noticeable decline in sales, but nobody ever checked or could tell, it would serve no purpose and be
@cinedatabase Agreed. The AI tag is relevant to art exhibits for authorship disclosure, and to digital content licensing marketplaces where buyers need to understand the rights situation. It makes no sense for game stores, where AI will be involved in nearly all future production.

TIL you can save an incremental Blender file by hitting Ctrl+Alt+S. It adds an incremental number to the previously saved file 🫡

Holy cow
People sometimes ask me how I animate cameras. I wish I could say there’s a master plan but honestly I just improvise as I go. Tweaking the FOV helps shape what the viewer sees, whether it’s more of the world or a close up. And from outside the camera the scene is usually a mess

If true, this is truly mind blowing.
I asked Gemini 3 Pro to create a 3D LEGO editor. In one shot it nailed the UI, complex spatial logic, and all the functionality. We’re entering a new era.
