While I totally disagree. I think A.i will totally be able to inject mistakes as it gains over the years. BUT his examples of song imperfections are super interesting!
Charlie Puth uses Ye’s “Stronger” as an example of real music explaining why AI music is horrible and will never be better than real music

😂 reminds me of that scene with russel brand touching the furry wall while off his head
If you had no idea what the Vision Pro was or did and saw someone standing in their kitchen touching the walls like this you'd think they were completely insane.

Anyone know of best way to manage 104 cgi renders/photos?. Like an excel sheet but nicer? Approval traffic light system style? Clients Be able to markup images in the system? Cope with hires images preferable. @cgpov @TvanHelsdingen @thecgwiki

Yes!
George Hotz says everyone he's met who can program well learned it the same way: they had an idea, and then they built it.

Wow!
I had a lot of fun working on this. I didn't believe that a chess playing neural net could learn to do look-ahead just in its weights, so I was definitely the non-believer in this project.

The transformation shots from the 1st film are indeed the most innovative & impressive looking from the series. Also, if I recall correctly, there is no global illumination pass used; the complexity of the models & the lighting (reflections/kicks) made them real enough. #vfx

Replying to @3Dmattias
This framerate comparison between KineFX and APEX rigs playing in the timeline just convinced me to learn APEX. sidefx.com/houdini-hive/fmx-…

Hey @arnoldrenderer any update on whether this MIGHT come at some point? On the roadmap? There is demand for this feature 👋🙏😀 – at Enfield, London
I’d still love a proper frame buffer IPR viewer like all the other renderers have in houdini. Still waiting. One day. Maybe. Have I missed it. Is there one?

htoA is certainly fun to use and easy to setup good looking results compared to Mantra. However, the IPR for Arnold is just not up to par. #houdini #sidefx #houdinifx #arnold
