Pushed another 2021 Unreal Engine experiment through LTX in ComfyUI! Not perfect, but look at those free waves! 🌊 Back in 2021, I was exploring the first version of Metahumans and ray tracing, trying to figure out how to generate water displacement. It’s crazy to see this extra layer...

Ray Allen says his most clutch Finals shot had nothing to do with being clutch “Not just that [Game 6 Finals] shot, but all the preparation that went into it. To be so good at one shot in one moment, it’s like a thousand shots” “Not in one sitting, anybody who shoots a thousand shots in one sitting is lying to themselves, because you ain’t shooting a game shot” “It’s over time, the collection of shots I’ve taken, the work I put in. Knowing where you are on the floor, understanding the lines, where you feel around the basket, your footwork” “Over time it becomes innate every time you step on the court. That was one shot. But look at all the shots I took in practice, warming up” “I used to do drills where I’d lay on my back, jump up, have the coach throw me the ball and I’ve got to shoot. Get on my stomach, do the same thing.

This is crazy! With LTX 2 in ComfyUI i was able to keep my original camera movement + it did a full lip-sync on the singing haha. All running locally. I made the original video back in 2021 when Metahumans first came out and we were working in Unreal Engine 4. This music video was some kind of result from my first experiments with Livelink and Control Rig at that time. Now the new AI improved version is not perfect and i didn’t train any lora for character consistency yet. I also didn’t have the original video file anymore so I downloaded the Youtube version as input haha. However the camera result + facial expressions are really promising! I wonder how it would handle more complex and fast shots though.

Justin Rose reacted to another near miss at the Masters: “I think just chance that got away obviously. You know, I was by no means kind of free and clear and was nowhere kind of close to having the job done, but I was right in position. You know, Amen Corner, without really hitting a bad shot but just not good shot, not committed enough on maybe 11 shot specifically, it was kind of like two saves. “There was a lot of club and it was not -- and it was a bit of a safe lie and I kind of felt it in the fairway with the wind direction and just wasn't able to really trust that one in there. “Yeah, because I was really in control. First ten holes I felt like I was -- yeah, I was. And the mentality was to run through the finish line not just try and get it done. I was playing great, but just momentum shifted for me around the Amen Corner.” “These are the tournaments I focus on. These are the tournaments why I practice. These are the tournaments that get me going that sort of extra mile to sort of have to show up and keep being in these great arenas is kind of why I practice, yeah.” Justin shot rounds of 70, 69, 69 and 70 to finish T3 for his 8th top 10 at the Masters. Another incredible performance. Justin ROSE The Masters

Tested this concepting workflow. ▶️ Converting a level design image to a 3D asset gallery image ▶️ re-generating segmented subjects into separate high quality images. ▶️ using these images to generate the 3D meshes. First time using 'for loops' in ComfyUI, works great and the prompts are updated for every segment. I used the Nano Banana 2 API node in ComfyUI to generate the final high quality images. Those SAM3 nodes are crazy btw, just set some points and it creates a mask! For the 3D model generation I used the new Tripo Smart Mesh tool, which is fast! The output is not perfect yet. I think in a lot of cases not production ready right now but that depends on the input image and the goal as well. For pre-production / concepting phase it's perfect and for far distance meshes it’s fine. I’m sure these tools keep improving, curious what we can work with in 3-6 months. Minimal cleanup and scaling in Blender and tested the meshes in UEFN / Unreal Engine. After creating the ComfyUI workflow it took less than an hour to do everything.

Generating flipbooks in ComfyUI. Nothing too crazy, but these little AI workflows are definitely helpful! 🐦 When I input a black frame to the FirstLastFrame node I got some decent impulse textures. using Wan 2.2 btw. For the bird to work i had to generate between 30-60 frames and extract every 4 frames to get better wing motion. In UEFN / Unreal Engine i'm offsetting the animation phase for every particle to get a more random result.

Jannik Sinner was asked about the changes he’s made to his serve since the U.S. Open, ‘At times I still lose it. It’s not a shot where I feel very safe with. At the same time, we are working on that’ “Can I get you to discuss the changes you made to your serve? In particular since the U.S. Open…” Jannik: “Yeah, I mean it’s not only US Open. I felt like the serve was and still is a shot where I need to improve. It’s the only shot we have where we can do everything by our self. There is a lot of room to improve. We changed the motion a little bit. The rhythm of the serve, before, it was too fast in the beginning. Now it’s a bit slower. The toss usually was a bit more in front, a bit on the right. Now it’s a bit more back and over the head. But at times I still lose it. It’s not a shot where I feel very safe with. In the same time we are working on that. It’s one of if not the most important shot we have. Let’s see how I’m gonna serve this season.” (via Australian Open Press)

Richard Jefferson on a fan in Houston talking trash to Luka Doncic during the game: “Some idiot, Luka misses 3 free throws in the start of the game, because you know, OG’s they kinda get warmed up. When you average 30, your first 3 or 4 shots are just warm up shots. They’re not like you trying to make it, it’s like, let me see it, let me feel how I’m feeling tonight. Some dude to the left of us, like 8 rows back. Because I was like when Luka hit the shot, at the far end he walked to half court and he was looking at him like, what the hell.” (Via Road Trippin’ Show)

The family of Dexter Reed, their lawyers and Democrats want you to feel empathy for his death. We’re not allowed to tell his family that Dexter was in the wrong because he shot at police first. Chicago police aren’t allowed to publicly defend themselves either. We’re all suppose to go along with narrative and keep pushing out these old photos of Dexter not looking like a thug. The reality is: He had a pending gun case that he was released on. He shot first. He shot at police 11 times. He shot an officer in the arm. Stop trying to ramp up racial tensions in this country. Be better.

Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Durant talking about mid-range shots being dead in the NBA “I can’t believe it. You see a few guys in our league still keeping it alive. SGA was the MVP. He still shoot a lot of mid range. It’s the unpredictable shot. It’s an easy shot to shoot once you master it. Once you figure it out, it feels like a layup. I’ve been trying to keep it alive, man. I’ve been shooting. I shoot the most in the league. Get to your spot, preserve some energy. You don’t got to dunk and shoot from deep all the time. You can mix that in. But the mid-range is that area. That was the name of the game back in your era of basketball. I feel like everybody had a mid-range game” (Via Boardroom)

In this experiment I wanted to try something with facial expressions and have it work with native Unreal Engine tools. I did find that generating the head with an open mouth helped to get some extra details. Creating those blend shapes was still not easy and this result is far from perfect. Ideally i want 58 generated expression references and have AI figure that out haha. btw first time baking the high poly details onto the low poly generated character. That worked surprisingly well! Endresult has 34k triangles! Built this character in 4 separate parts in Blender and generated each part in Hunyuan 3D Studio. The original references came from Nano Banana 2 and Grok. Trellis 2 in ComfyUI for the texturing. The animation was done with Control Rig in UEFN / Unreal Engine. With all the experiments so far, file and version management start to become a challenge. Getting files from different platforms with each platform having their own filename logic. I’ll have to find something to keep it more organized. Any suggestions?

I’m going to start sharing some of my favourite moments and shots from tournaments over the years. This one was back in 2020 at the Northern Ireland Open. I actually lost this frame but I enjoyed the positional shot 👍🏼

The Truman Show writer says Jim Carrey improvised the iconic line, “In case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.” It was also used at the end of the movie. “The last line used to be, ‘You never had a camera in my head.’

Took a walk around Lakewood CC this past wknd for the first time since December to see how the course held up through the winter. Everything looks good. We are ready for some spring sun and warmth to begin the growth season. A big question I get is what was done to the Great Hazard on #6 which is now #15. It was completely redone. Moved about 15-20 yds forward so a lay up is a shorter shot. The left side was opened up and fairway expanded to allow for a bail out if you don’t take on the entire span. The hazard itself was sunken down about 3 ft to allow you to see it from the tee and fairway. It was also expanded diagonally to the right as that side is where you want to come in from on your third shot but you better make sure you can clear the top right of it. The last pic compliments of J. Liebert Golf Pics is the before version. I’d say the new version is pretty darn good.

I shot this video while we were stuck on the highway in Waco during the flooding. I was very concerned that the retaining wall wasn’t going to hold up and we would all just be stuck. I shot this video when the first responders sowed up. But we were literally stuck. There was water in front of us water to the left water to the right and cars behind us. It was like something out of a movie

Steve was asked about this at the post-game presser: “I think where we are as a franchise is we’re still a good team, still competitive. We’re trying to give ourselves a swing at the plate every year. We did that last year. The point of where we are with the age of our best players is we can still be good but we’re obviously not in the same class as we were 5-6 years ago. We’re not in the same class as the team we played tonight and several other teams in the league. There’s no point in denying that. We have to embrace it, be realistic, and give ourselves a shot. We can give ourselves a shot like we did a year ago by connecting and staying healthy and getting on a run. We’re still good enough to do that. If you do that and you have a shot, you get to the playoffs, you never know what’s going to happen. I think that’s where we are right now so we’ve got to keep fighting.”

Joe Rogan reacts to Alex Pereira claiming the referee allowed illegal shots to the back of his head during his loss to Ciryl Gane. Joe Rogan: And even like feinting takedowns, it's not like he committed to those, but he's got him thinking about it. Look how he drops him with that body shot, body shot into it. Now here's the question, because one of the things that Pereira is saying is a lot of... there's an illegal shot. A lot of the shots were illegal to the back of the head. But a lot of them were to the side of the head. Justin Gaethje: Those are close. Trevor Wittman: They're close, because the first one... Justin Gaethje: When they explain it to you, it's... Can you turn? It's a two-inch line down, like a mohawk. This whole apron right here. But it's like, this is legal, this is legal, this is legal, this is illegal. Legal, illegal. Joe Rogan: I mean, a couple of those shots definitely landed illegally, but there's also...

🇬🇧 Josh Kerr shared an injury update on Instagram about his calf injury and what happened in the World Championships 1500m final. "What happened to me was the last 10 meters or so of the semifinal – obviously a lot of hustle and bustle and a big pack of guys trying to get to the line as racing is. During the fall over the line, I overstretched and I kicked my calf and then strained it with the overstretch and fall. A reasonably mild strain – nothing like crazy. A lot of bruising, but it felt like with the right amount of adrenaline, I could figure out how to make the final happen and still come out with the result I wanted. Relied a lot on my medical team and we got pretty close. Felt pretty confident going into the final. I was just ready to send it. With 600m to go in the World final, I fully pulled my calf. Grade 2 is what I'm getting told. Adrenaline pumping, I was like, 'You're staying in this race.' The plan was to stay in for the full 1500m. I committed to that, but obviously, you saw the result of what that looked like. Definitely did some more damage to that in that last 600m than right away but my job is to get to the finish line as quickly as possible and that's what I wanted to commit to. You never know what can happen with these races."

I shot 62 — 10 under par — playing a modified scramble called a FIGJAM. The rules are simple: if you like your first shot, play it. If it’s so-so, hit another. You can hit up to 3 shots total, but once you choose to move on, that’s your ball. Padraig Harrington has said he’d play this format as often as he could, and Luke Donald used it on his way to becoming #1 in the world. What surprised me wasn’t the 62. It was what the format did to my confidence. I was playing a new course but instead of getting defensive after a mediocre shot, I had the freedom to try again. Pretty soon I was seeing shots more clearly, committing to them and expecting good results. And here’s the interesting part: a lot of my first shots were perfectly good. Sometimes you need to experience what great golf feels like before you can learn to expect it. My next free compression webinar is Wednesday, August 26th at 7pm CT. If you’re ready learn how to smash a golf ball every time, the link is in the next post!
