Her power needed to be Crystal Clear but needed... some guide. 💎 Check this traditional animation test of Prisma by legendary WDAS animator John Pomeroy. ✨ Disney TVA is one of the few studios that still use traditional animation mostly used for Disney Jr. shows. #SofiaTheFirstshow more

This guy got seriously creative by doing kaparot for... Yom Kippur by still doing the tradition of using a chicken but not the traditional method of swinging it by its neck over his head, instead he made a device to not harm the chicken That is both funny & amazing at the same timeshow more

Some of my somewhat rusty animation skills. I made... them a few years ago on my other account. I'm reposting them here just for your viewing pleasure, since my other account is severely mauled by the algorithm (or at least, more that this one).show more

I know that the Utena dub gets a lot... of shit (and for a good reason tbh)) but I still think it has a few gems, this line delivery by Utena for example has to be one of my favorite dub momentsshow more

getting so pumped for this weekend. really feel like... the vibes have shifted a bit in the last few weeks and there is starting to be more hopeful meta after a few years of "downbad"... and i know it's not gonna happen overnight but coming together to celebrate that we're still here and we still deeply believe in the power of digital art is something i still think has an amazing power to strengthen our community... RSVP still open, hope to see you this weekend!! <3show more

I'm seeing a lot of people saying it is... just a bad upscaling instead of Gen AI, but it is indeed Gen AI animation. There are things going on in it that just don't make any sense for puppet animation. Here are some parts that make it clear, I slowed down the video so it's easier to notice the chunky parts. I checked the past ADs and it's possible to notice details (from an animator's POV) that are common and make sense for human work, so it was definitely a choice to use AI on this new ADshow more

The homeowner bet it would collapse. But one mason... built stairs that float in mid-air — using a 700-year-old secret no one believed would work. This mason built stairs with NO support underneath. Everyone thought it would collapse. The secret? A 700-year-old Catalan vault technique — thin bricks laid in curves that lock by compression, no steel or heavy beams needed. Mind-blowing traditional engineering still used today. Who else wants to walk on these floating stairs? Would you trust these stairs?show more

I am excited to be able to show our... latest animation test that helped us define what we wanted for the real deal. This scene is mainly about action, but we wanted to make sure we could see a bit of Caillou's personality on screen without making the shot seem messy.show more

Good morning, I’m waiting for a box of gear... to be delivered to me again, so here’s the story of maybe the greatest act of private philanthropy for American public lands in our history: the creation of Grand Teton National Park. John D. Rockefeller purchased this land for us under the Snake River Land Company quietly buying up about 35,000 acres because he didn’t like seeing development creeping into the valley and he know Grand Teton for what it was-an otherworldly place that needed to be protected for all Americans. Locals protested an outsider buying up all this land, Congress tried to abolish the early National Monument created by FDR, but the standoff (culminating in a protest cattle drive across the monument) ended when Rockefeller’s land was merged into the modern park. Compromises were struck with locals to enable traditional ranching livelihoods. One of the few national parks in America where you can hunt elk, one of the places where we came up with the idea for the 1964 Wilderness Act (famous meeting at Murie Ranch)show more

✨ Check out this mind-blowing work! ✨ Gurgen Aloian... has unveiled a "fake" real-time collision system built entirely within Blender's Geometry Nodes! 🤯 It's not using traditional physics – instead, it's a custom, lightweight solver that runs interactively. Imagine the possibilities for animation and sculpting! He's shared a detailed breakdown of how it works, and there's even a chance it could become a full release or tutorial soon! 👀 What do you think of this innovative approach to collisions in Blender? Let me know in the comments! 👇 #B3D #Blender3D #Animation #GeometryNodes #CG #VFX #3DArt #BlenderCommunityshow more

let me be clear. in the next 6 months,... if you're not using ai to generate ad creatives, your brand will die. it's not a question of "if," but "when." your competitors will : - out-test you - out-scale you - bury you with a volume of content you can't compete with this is digital darwinism. i just dropped the full ai ugc guide that shows you exactly how to generate ads that don't look like slop. like + reply 'guide' and i'll dm it to you.

Flow has now made more than 20 million $... at the global box office! Not bad for a film that cost 3.5 million eur. And we're still yet to open in many big countries. This shows that there is an appetite for more independant animation and we'll be seeing much bigger variety of films being made.show more

According to OpenTheBooks, a watchdog group that obtained Fauci's... financial disclosures from the NIH, Fauci's net worth increased by $5 million (over 30%) during the first few years of the pandemic. Fauci claims he needs protection from some people in this country. Let him pay for it. But in reality, the people in this country needed protection from Fauci.show more

This is what happens when you mudsling. It should... be borne in mind that the political mantle one dons, is to be used only for nation building. Congress ought to know that confidence is good, but presumptuousness has always led to collapse of the arrogant! It is all too well known that Providence stands with Dharma and values. Haryana win shows that the nation is always with Modi!show more

🚨 THE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY THAT COULD POWER CIVILIZATION FOR... THE NEXT 100 YEARS ISN'T FUSION. Molten Salt Reactors use molten fluoride or chloride salts as coolant and in some designs, the nuclear fuel itself is dissolved directly into that salt. This is very different from traditional reactors. Instead of solid fuel rods sitting in water under high pressure, these systems run at much higher temperatures but at atmospheric pressure, which dramatically reduces the risk of explosions or meltdowns. The salt can flow over solid fuel, or the fuel can be mixed directly into the coolant. Both approaches are being actively developed. Why this matters: • MSRs operate at high temperatures, making them potentially much more efficient at generating electricity and process heat • Low-pressure operation makes them inherently safer than conventional water-cooled reactors • Some designs can burn existing nuclear waste or use thorium as fuel • The technology could support everything from advanced power generation to hydrogen production and industrial heat The deeper implication: For decades, nuclear power has been dominated by one basic design concept. Molten salt reactors represent a fundamental rethink using a liquid that can act as both coolant and fuel. This opens the door to reactors that are safer, more flexible, and potentially capable of solving some of nuclear energy’s biggest historical challenges (waste, fuel efficiency, and public perception of safety). While still in development, MSRs are one of the most promising pathways for next-generation nuclear power. We may be looking at the early stages of a genuinely new chapter in how humanity generates clean, reliable energy. Do you think molten salt reactors will become a major part of the future energy mix, or will traditional designs continue to dominate? Follow for more frontier energy technology and next-generation nuclear systems.show more

Building gigawatt scale datacenters in the oceans may be... even easier than I had previously thought. Normally for OTEC cold deep sea water and warm surface waters are needed. Because that gigawatt is generating a lot of heat as an end product of compute, along with some additional solar thermal collection, we won’t need warm surface water at all, allowing these datacenters to go almost anywhere with enough depth. Additionally, that gigawatt of heat may be hotter than surface seawater normally used for OTEC, allowing for much shallower piping (200m instead of 1000m) while also being more efficient. The availability of unlimited cold water for the condenser is the key factor we can’t replicate on land. This brings the potential energy generation for ocean based compute up from 10 terawatts to potentially thousands of terawatts, as the locations are not limited to areas with the warmest surface waters. The excess energy needed for hundreds or thousands of people to also live on these structures is minimal compared to that needed for compute.show more

I noticed something about most of the new Kling... 3.0 demos. Kling 3.0 Multi Shot doesn't cross the line! One of the major pain (expensive) points of making AI narrative films is that the coverage is all over the place and random shot grids are easily half unusable based on the traditional filmmaking coverage rules. This is my first dialogue scene with shot01 - wide shot, shot 02 - close up woman, shot03 - close up man AND KLING DID NOT CROSS THE LINE. Now the framing still could be tweaked to fit the standard conventions of traditional cinematography, that is where possibly tools like Martini could help out. But very impressed, I'm generating this video with Korean dialogue next. Kling AIshow more

In 1995, 77.1% of global primary energy was provided... by fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil). As of 2024, 76.4% still comes from fossil fuels. That's a 0.7 percentage point drop in 30 years. World governments have spent TRILLIONS of dollars on “green” energy projects, and it has barely made a dent in the energy mix (note, these figures are based on the substitution method for fair comparison, so it slightly lowers fossil fuel figures). The fact is that renewable energy sources, like them or not, are largely add-ons to existing energy sources (primarily fossil fuel and nuclear power) that provide us transient savings in optimal conditions. That may change in the future with battery backup as they become cheaper, but that still won't address the fact that oil is STILL going to be needed for lubricants, plastics, fertilizers, etc. Oil is the backbone of modern society, so even if it were to no longer to be used as fuel, it will be used in another capacity and wars will be fought over it.show more
