Playing with scale in Simulon is so magical and a lot of fun. It feels like being a kid again!

The Future is Hybrid Experiment 1: “Physically” picking up a virtual 3D figure and placing it in a new location. Traditional VFX: very difficult. GenAI-only: no intention, no control. Hybrid: used Simulon to lock placement/scale/lighting + start/end frames, then use Google DeepMind Veo to generate the interaction between them. Full breakdown + decision trail on Substack.

I think we just built the most insane 3D VFX workflow. Precision reality editing with Simulon + Blender. • Scan the real world in seconds • Edit in Blender • Sync + reopen in Simulon • View & shoot in real-time AR • Photoreal cloud render in minutes Will share a BTS of this clip shortly.

Simulon's Next Chapter 🌌 Thank you for your excitement and invaluable feedback. As we've started to reveal more about Simulon, one thing has become clear: the creative community is ready and eager for a fresh chapter in VFX. In every creative endeavor, there are defining moments—when art meets technology, when vision becomes reality, and when creators discover their tools. This is the essence of Simulon. We're aiming to make cinematic-quality VFX accessible to all creators, no matter their background. Simulon has been 3.5 years in the making and our focus from day one has been to harmonize simplicity and power with the human creator at the core of the experience. What's Next - Closed Beta: We're close to sharing Simulon with a select group of creators and studios to help us finesse the final touches. - Community Insights: Keep an eye out for updates and stories we'll be sharing along the way. Your feedback is crucial as we move toward a version of Simulon available to everyone. - Public Launch: We're gearing up for a full release early next year. It's a significant moment, one that promises a new chapter for all creators. - Knowledge Sharing: In the lead-up to the launch, we will compile a series of tutorials, tips, and maybe a surprise or two, to help you maximize Simulon's potential. - Constant Evolution: in an industry that never stands still, neither will Simulon. Stay tuned for regular updates on our exciting R&D progress across social media. As we enter this new phase, your engagement and support continues to inspire us. Thank you for joining us on this creative journey! The Simulon Team 🌟 (Video shot with Simulon on iPhone)

In the new version of Simulon, we've built a simulated depth of field effect that seamlessly blends CG and real-world elements, mimicking the behavior of a real camera lens. We just love creating miniature shots with shallow focus! Assets by our friends at BigMediumSmall

And the Simulon human integration does more than automate rotoscoping, it also emulates the focus shift as a human enters the frame at close proximity. Notice how the Stegosaurus is shifted in and out of focus to match the footage.

Meet Rexy, our Chief Announcement Officer Simulon. Creators are entering an exciting new world and creative software companies can go two ways - automate human intention or empower it. We choose to empower. Rexy has an announcement next week 💫

Artists will always test the limits of every feature. Here’s another example of an insane rigid body sim shot on location with Simulon. Voidz with the infinite grocery glitch 🤯

Lighting is key to creating believable VFX. Simulon generates accurate 360 hdr lighting in seconds. But there’s something much stranger going on in this video. The chrome ball is being moved through the world as if it is actually there. How do you think this is possible? 👀 We’ve built something that will completely change how 3D visual effects are made and it’s coming to Simulon next week.

How lighting works in Simulon Using a professional on-set VFX kit, we showcase our unique Image Based Lighting system. Simulon employs ML to create a 360° HDRI from just one LDR shot, aligning it perfectly with scene data. Our virtual camera replicates the physical camera’s response to light, syncing seamlessly with the HDR info. Notice how the dynamic exposure changes on the virtual VFX kit closely match the real one. Bonus: At the end of the video I place a 3D Dragon in the scene and make a capture, this capture is then rendered in the cloud to produce a photorealistic VFX video 🐉 More on the capture and render process in upcoming videos!

To showcase Simulon's capability with high-fidelity assets and to highlight the difference between what you see in real-time AR versus the precision of offline cloud rendering, we've made a video using a detailed human scan by 3D Scanstore. Our workflow was designed to closely align the visuals in real-time AR with our offline cloud renders. The video below demonstrates this, transitioning between the AR preview and the final cloud render. This preview lets creators foresee the final VFX shot, reducing guesswork in lighting and composition.

A few months back, we teased clips from our upcoming VFX app, Simulon. We've since been hard at work making Simulon the most powerful, robust, and intuitive VFX workflow available. This weekend, we'll begin granting access to select creators. Simulon is now able to produce videos that are indistinguishable from reality - can you spot which objects on the table are real and which were added with Simulon? Watch to the end to see if you're right. A thread 🧵

Some scene reconstruction R&D at Simulon that produces more detailed meshes quickly and is able to exclude moving objects without explicit segmentation. This improves occlusion of real-world objects and provides better meshes for 3D creators. Coming to the beta soon.

Excited to share a new Simulon workflow video, showcasing real-time environment meshing, multi-surface object placement and persistent AR - allowing you to save & revisit 3D scenes in the real world 🌐✨ Beginning with a cloud-rendered sequence, we then break down the process.

We've received a few questions about Simulon’s performance in outdoor environments. The effectiveness largely depends on the trackable features in the setting. Check out this video made by Aaron Sisto in the beta, where he placed 3D assets far apart in a large open meadow. If you watch to the end, you’ll see that tracking quality holds up quite well. Please note that, as seen in this video, real-world occlusion support is currently limited. However, we're making significant improvements in this area over the next few weeks. For more details, see our latest R&D post.
