🫦 Lip bite references with facial landmarks to make... form changes easier to see. Didn’t pull off every kind of bite here, but we've still got multiple angles and select slow motion moments #drawing #animation #artreferenceshow more

Nautical nonsense was something you wished but hopefully you... didn't bite off more Krabby Patty than you could chew... You'll get your sea legs in time plus we've got Patchy the Pirate stationed as your trip sitter and he'll see to it you don't Bikini Bottom out. 🎥 Golden Wolfshow more

so…what’s the heterosexual explanation for Jungkook including the clip... of checking himself out thru the cam and smugly running a hand through his hair while Taehyung tries to bite off the seat belt with legs wide open beside him…(he could crop, but he didn’t). #AchoiceWasMadeshow more

I am completely saddened to see what has happened... to Grok Imagine with it's latest update. It's a massive downgrade in motion and it prioritizes slow motion and random zooming in that is not even prompted. Prompt adherence seems to be suffering. If you can't see the night and day difference here, I don't know what else to say. Instead of just talking, look at my comparisons. I am very vocal and honest on here, this update is bad and it needs to be fixed. Grok Imagine used to showcase some of the most realistic and fluid motion, making it outperform a lot of other AI Video generators. To see it get butchered like this is extremely disappointing. Please fix this or roll back the changes. I am not the only one complaining here, just search for "grok imagine update" and read the replies for yourself. The community is not happy. This is not the direction it should be heading in. People in the community need to learn to also be honest and speak up, step outside of your bubble for once. I trust the devs see our complaints and make changes to what was once an incredibly powerful AI video generator.show more

One of the biggest plays of the game almost... didn’t happen. Clock hit zero at the snap which is legal. Juice told me, there was supposed to be a TE motion. Purdy knew it wasn’t necessary for the play to work (guessing it was a return motion). You can see Juice telling TE to move and Purdy tells him to stay there. He got set again right in time. Little operational stuff but heads up by Purdy. Tons of small moments like this in football games we don’t know about that decide games.show more

WAIT. Cardi B just said, “In 2025 and 2026... I made multiple attempts to connect… I spoke with your manager, your sister, and even texted you directly to take full responsibility.” So Latto purposely left that part out of her Breakfast Club interview. Had us thinking Cardi brushed it off and didn’t even attempt to make it right with her bts (multiple times at that). Ns but that’s weird. Now people are once again dog piling on Cardi for a situation she tried to fix.show more

I was clicking through Astryx from Meta's docs, and... noticed it felt kind of slow to navigate. It's a docs site that should be fully static, but every route was rendering on the server on each request. We've been building a skill to migrate apps to Cache Components, so I wanted to see if it could help. I ran 𝚗𝚎𝚡𝚝-𝚌𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚎-𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚗𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜-𝚊𝚍𝚘𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗, and Instant Insights showed the agent exactly what to cache. The skill completed the entire migration on its own, even though Astryx was still on Next.js 15. Now navigation is instant, up to 3x faster. Skill, PR, and performance details below ↓show more

"Mega Man X5 Improvement Project Addendum" is about to... become "Mega Man X5 Tweaks." Long overdue. The first release aims to make most changes from the Addendum project available individually, including those additional "hex editor" options that some of you might have missed entirely. And everything I've been working on for the past couple of years: 🤖 Armor sprites displayed by Parts (the big one) 🤖 Special Weapons (regular and charged) available for all Armors 🤖 Boss Parameters (Health Bars, Leveling System options, damage and speed values for select moves, and reduced idle times) And a few localization choices that previously were impossible to mix and match: All the English scripts we've gone through: 🤖 Original PS1 version 🤖 Original PS1 + MMXLC2 changes (what we had up to v1.5) 🤖 Retranslation (what we've had since v1.6), now available with either the new or the original font And also: 🤖 Japanese, with all the necessary graphics changes included ...And a bunch of Title Screen options. Why not. The GUI is still a work in progress, obviously, but it's growing daily. I might include a couple of extra things too. The important thing is that every issue under the hood that prevented this from being possible from the start has already been solved. See you soonnnshow more

Kling 2.6 Motion Capture is so good. It's a... huge leap forward. We've been able to do motion capture with AI for a while, but the quality bump finally made this approach useful. Here are the steps: - Get a reference video - record it or get a stock video - Grab the start frame of that video - Edit it using Nano Banana Pro. Ask to replace character and background. - Select the Kling 2.6 Motion Capture model in the video generator on Freepik (now Magnific) - Upload reference video + set the edited start frame - Video prompt can be simple e.g. "Gandalf dancing"show more

so, i might have been wrong.... i've been looking... into AI UGC a little bit more and it's actually kind of insane the video you see below took $2 to make and the only visible problem (might) be the audio i know ecom brands using ai ugc for there organic and paid doing over $1M/mo i'm still bullish on real human clipping and ai content but considering how much ai ugc has improved over the last few months... it's going to be interesting to see how the content marketing world changes this yearshow more

A cozy anime-style room bathed in warm afternoon sunlight.... A person carefully wipes dust from a slowly spinning ceiling fan using a soft cloth. Suddenly, Gugu Gaga—a tiny, irresistibly cute but mischievous chibi character with oversized sparkling eyes and playful expressions—decides to be naughty. She jumps onto the fan blades, giggles, dodges every attempt to catch her, and playfully creates harmless chaos by making the fan spin faster. Feathers, tiny dust particles, and colorful sparkles swirl through the air in a magical slow-motion sequence. After a series of funny, exaggerated cartoon moments, Gugu Gaga finally realizes the fan is being cleaned and sheepishly helps wipe it, blushing with an adorable guilty smile. Heartwarming comedy, expressive anime facial animations, smooth cinematic camera movements, dynamic close-ups, ultra-detailed 3D anime rendering, soft global illumination, vibrant colors, Pixar-quality character animation, playful sound design, wholesome humor, highly polished, 4K, masterpiece quality, perfect for viral short-form animation.show more

Burned 200k tokens just for "animations" and still AI... couldn't do it well. I tried one of the expert animation design engineer's, Emil Kowalski's Agent Skill on my website to improve animation using Grok 4.5 It analyzed the UI, found issues, came up with a good plan, and iterated multiple times. The end result actually made parts of the UX worse. Also, it never suggested the animation experience I had in mind. So I explained exactly how I wanted it to feel. It got much closer, but still missed details like applying the same animation during keyboard navigation between cards. That silly. The lesson isn't about the model or the Agent Skill. But it's about, "Even the strongest models can't infer your taste yet." They can't and won't suggest it. AI only executes. You have to define the experience with enough details for it to execute. Otherwise, you'll end up with something that's almost okay, but still not what you wantedshow more

The body movements of Anime characters in Seedance doesn’t... has to be always rigid and constrained. They can be as expressive as the real anime too. Here’s a quick tips on how to achieve the cartoony acting style for your anime characters: Special shoutout to Ameilo for sharing the prompt that unlocked this acting style. This tips sharing is made possible by Try ArtCraft Add this Key Prompt above your prompt: Emphasize snappy animation with lively energy, pose-to-pose, strong anticipation, overshoot, squash and stretch, quick switches in facial expressions, and follow-through on hair and sleeves. Give the movements a distinctive rhythm with variation in pacing: Hold still poses firmly for a split second, then transition to the next movement with a quick, bouncy snap. Make it comical and well-timed, but keep the actions easy to read. Movements follow: "stillness → preparatory action → sudden acceleration → large overshoot → sharp stop → hair and sleeves sway delayed." Facial changes are exaggerated and comical. Poses are clear in silhouette, with a solid hold of 0.1–0.2 seconds at the end of each action. Use cartoonish squash & stretch, motion blur, short afterimages, dramatic smear frames and speed lines sparingly. Physics are slightly exaggerated beyond reality, but the character's footing and center of gravity don't break.show more

Back-to-back HNL-SYD trips can be exhausting, but moments like... this make every mile worth it. Last week I brought my wife and son with me to Sydney. They stayed behind while I flew back to Honolulu, and now I’m back to pick them up. Walking into the crew hotel and seeing my son waiting to greet me like this… there’s no better feeling. I’ve got a 48-hour layover, so we’re making the most of it. First stop: lunch at Newport in the Northern Beaches with a close friend, followed by two days of family time before we head home together. Aviation gives me the opportunity to see the world, but it’s moments with family like this that remind me why all the long flights, jet lag, and time away are worth it. 🤙🏼show more

My surgery went well yesterday - thank you everyone... for all the kind words and prayers. I know this corner of ours means it when they say it. Lotta pain, but that's to be expected. Now lemme put a smile on your face: We've done this so many times with old shelter dogs, and the pattern is almost always the same - when they get here, they're usually nervous and quiet; unsure of what is in store and what their life is gonna be like. After being here with me, OBX Dog Walker and the rest of the dogs, they start to relax and be the dog they wanna be; the dog they were or could have been before they were abandoned. Molly was so quiet and reserved when we got her, and now? Yeah. She's right at home, letting me know I need to get off my ass and feed her. Love to see it. And I'm grateful to all of you.show more

Pudgy Penguins on the Sphere is a W for... the entire space. Sphere brings hundreds of thousands of eyes within Las Vegas, now imagine how many people can see Pudgy Penguins for the first time. Many promised to deliver on the Sphere but Pudgy was the first and its moments like this that make me look back at how far we've come. When we said Billions will Huddle, it was a fact and that's already been achieved with over 300B views in mindshare. Sphere tops it off with a couple hundred thousand/millions more who'll witness this brand everywhere. Proliferation doesn't stop here and 2026 is going to be even better. Pudgy f*cking Penguins.show more
