Unity doesn't give us the ability to skew/shear. No matter, nothing a nested intermediate game object can't solve. And that's exactly how my first Unity asset Squash & Stretch Kit achieved omni-directional squashing-and-stretching effects. #GameDev #MadeWithUnity #VFX

Does it work well with the physics engine?

It simply alters transforms based on positional deltas between frames, no matter if it’s driven by dragging in editor, scripts, or physics.

🎙️ Collin Sexton on his team-first mentality after being subbed out late: "Just playing my role to the best of my ability. God has put me in this position to be able to play basketball and go out there and perform. I'll always be super excited about that." "But when I see a teammate I work out with every day, sit and talk with every day, someone I'm always trying to mentor and give advice to—when he goes and scores, I'm going to celebrate him no matter what. Even if I score 0 points, that's my brother." "I could easily be upset about not being in the game. But hey, why? We're a team and we're all trying to go in the right direction together. You can't do that if one person is in their feelings or upset about someone else doing good. It doesn't work like that."

A Ukrainian Drone has hit a Russian "Murom-M" long-range surveillance device. To everyone who keeps saying that Ukraine and Russia should just make a peace deal: How do you suppose they do that? Should Ukraine give away their land to Russia? If they do, why should anyone believe Russia wouldn't just wait another year and then start the same thing over again? There is nothing at all to stop them, right? This situation doesn't have black and white options. Every option has a negative consequence. No matter what the US does, the results will be bad. The key is doing what's less bad, and that's where all the debate comes in. What exactly is less bad? What is the solution? And don't just say "make a peace deal."

I've been spending more time with Bezi to see how far I can push vibe coding a game on the Unity Editor. So far, I'm pretty happy with what I can achieve with Bezi. Here are some learnings: - Even though I use Bezi to do all agentic coding, I still have to perform a few small manual tasks in the Unity Editor - As a result, I feel like I am getting a hang of Unity's complex and clunky UI, which actually feels good! - This is one of those examples where Vibe Coding is a great way to learn game dev. - For big features, I can't state the importance of asking the agent to create a plan first before implementing the feature. It can work wonders. Most of the bigger features/ssytems starts with a clear plan. - The biggest strength about working with Unity Engine is the Unity Asset Store, there's so much good stuff in there, 3D assets, shaders, vfx etc that can really spice up your game, that other game enginers will need to build from scratch. - Because Unity Assets Stores sell UI assets packs, I was able to implement decent looking UI fairly quickly. For those of you that vibe code games, you know how much of a pain it is to implement UI. - I did meet a few hiccups along the way where Bezi seems to struggle a little with implementing some features, but usually with some retries it works out at the end, though it burns a ton of tokens. After spending more time with Bezi, I'm still feeling good about using it. I am able to get this PvZ style autobattler working in a few days!

We had a frozen conflict in the east of Ukraine for years after Russia’s occupation of Crimea in 2014. We tried to speak with Russia. But we heard nothing but lies from them. No truth. We can’t trust them. They just want to destroy and kill all of us. In 2022 we saw them attack us again. And this wasn’t just war, but terrorism. Clear terrorism. They killed not only the army, but people. They committed horrible atrocities. Russia must leave our territory. After that the world can switch to diplomacy. And our Peace Formula provides a good opportunity for that. What is the alternative? To give Putin the possibility to kill all of us? To destroy our nation and all that we have? This is not only a matter of Ukraine. This is a matter of security in Europe. The matter of NATO unity. Because after Ukraine, Russia will attack NATO countries. Some people say the alternative is to give Putin what he wants and stop the war. What does that mean? Giving him 30 percent of our land? What to do with the people in the temporary occupied territories? Or with the thousands of people who have been killed by Putin and his army? Forget about them? No accountability? No tribunal? I know what to do. We have to be strong. I believe that European countries and the United States believe in our power, our humanity, our attitude toward people and democracy. The alternative is to give a pass to autocrats, give a chance to tyranny, give them the opportunity to destroy democracy and the world. I don’t see any alternative to Ukrainian victory. And I do believe in the unity of the world and its support for Ukraine and democracy. I do believe and trust our people and our warriors. Watch my full interview with Kristen Welker at Meet the Press.

Wouldn't it be cool to interact with real objects in #MixedReality? For instance, doing a simple action like pouring water into your glass and making it become magical with augmentations? I think it would and that's why I made an opensource Unity plugin to make it happen. Currently, mixed reality headsets do not offer object tracking and we have no camera access to implement it ourselves. But I had an idea: since we interact with objects with our hands, why can't we just track the hands to infer the pose of the object we are holding? I tried to carry on this idea and after a few weeks,open-sourceand fully I came up with this opensource plugin that lets you do exactly this. It is an alpha, it has a lot of problems, also because the tracking of the hands becomes a bit glitchy when you are holding an object, but you can already do nice things with it. And it's full opensource and cross-platform (I used AR Foundation), so you can have fun with it however you want. It's a gift I give to the community. You can see the full video of the animation, with the explanation of what I did behind the curtains, at this link: The article I wrote on my blog about it is available instead here: If you want to play around with the repository of the plugin, you have to go to this page: I hope to have inspired you a bit... let me know what your thoughts are! #VirtualReality #metaverse #gamedev #unity #unity3d

Howard Lutnick explains our broken immigration system: Open borders and a welfare state is a recipe for disaster “ You can't really open the border and say, ‘I'm gonna give my money to anybody who wants to come in.’” “That's getting it wrong.” “So when people say, ‘Open immigration is how we built America,’ they are right.” “And open immigration would be something interesting if we gave people nothing.” “Because if we gave them nothing, if they weren't smart enough, capable, entrepreneurial enough, driven enough, they would starve to death. And so they wouldn't stay here. They would self-deport and leave.” “But if you're gonna give them welfare, and you're gonna give them food stamps, and you're gonna give them housing, and you give them this, that, then everybody's gonna come and just leech off of us and we're gonna pay, and pay, and pay.”

Today I'm lanching my secret openclaw agent I use 1000+ times daily you can use it for free tbh you don't need a 512GB Mac Studio to solve a Mission Control problem. I've been working on ShipClaw for the last 1.5 weeks after my software job. I've been in AI for the last 3 4 years and I know how to solve the Mission Control problem. You must solve 3 problems: → Every user has their own tenant → Every user has their own pairing ID so other members know which platform OpenClaw is used on → Mission Control AI Agent Orchestration That's how I solve these problems using Railway, Cloudflare, and infrastructure VPS in the cloud. Now users have their own identity, own auth, and own OpenClaw server that runs 24/7 with no cost. Why should you pay for a 512GB Mac Studio and give your computer access to OpenClaw? ❌ Stop doing that. Instead, invest in something that pays you in the long game. enjoy ❤️

Asmongold says his goal is not to change minds but to make people accept radical solutions "My goal is never about changing people's minds. I have no interest in changing people's minds." "The only thing I care about doing is making people realize how bad this is and making people more accepting to radical solutions to solve it. That's literally all I care about." "You can't win an argument against somebody that doesn't want to lose. It's like playing chess with a pigeon. You can win every move and they're gonna knock the pieces off the board and think they won anyway."

Zero VFX experience. Just Claude, Seedance 2.0, and a phone clip. The result looks like a $10M scene In this tutorial you'll learn how to create cinematic AI VFX from your own real footage — no green screen, no masking, no compositing, no render times. Claude doesn't touch the video — it reads your clip frame by frame and writes the prompt, locking your face, camera move, light, and gestures, then naming the one thing to change and when. That prompt goes into Seedance 2.0, which only touches what was named. That's the trick. You're not describing an effect and hoping the AI gets it. Claude studies the footage first and hands Seedance a locked, precise instruction — which is why a hand can morph mid-sentence with zero visible cut, or neon reflections land on the dashboard automatically, with nothing graded by hand. One clip in, one sentence to Claude, one prompt into Seedance 2.0 — and out comes a shot that would normally cost a studio a month. ▪ 00:00 Intro ▪ 01:28 The 3 levels of AI VFX ▪ 01:59 Level 1 — Swapping the world (walking) ▪ 04:32 Level 2 — Changing an element ▪ 07:26 Level 3 — The handheld showcase ▪ 10:15 Outro YouTube: "Higgsfield AI - I Added Insane AI VFX to Real Footage in 4K(Seedance 2.0)" Thank you for sharing this free tutorial with us.

This is, without exaggerating, one of the most extraordinary things a US Treasury Secretary ever said. It should be mandatory viewing for all citizens of US "allies", Europeans first and foremost. What Bessent is saying is that the US will now treat US allies' wealth as an American "sovereign wealth fund" (his words), "directing" them, "largely at the [US] president's discretion", how to use their money in order to build American factories and reshore American industries. Even the Fox News host can't believe it, calling it "offshore appropriation", another word for theft. That's exactly what it is: straight up unabashed colonial plunder. That's the pattern we see emerge: unable to extract wealth or win wars against an increasingly strong Global South, the US has turned inward to feast on its own "allies" - who can't resist precisely because they depend on their exploiter for military "protection". They're as defenseless against American wealth extraction as any 19th-century colony was against its colonial "protector." That's exactly what I wrote in my latest article on "Europe's colonial moment":

$🎓 Learn how to create a powerful Dynamic Snow gradient Map in a matter of seconds in my latest video series (AAA) Pro Tips! This special Map can be used to adjust the amount of snow coverage on any 3D asset straight inside a game engine or during in-game run time. In this video, the steps are as follows: 1. Bake out the following maps: World Space, AO, Curvature, and Position. 2. Create a fill layer and apply a dust generator to it. 3. Apply a histogram scan above the dust generator to preview the transition effect. 4. Add a Dirt 3 grunge just above the dust generator set to overlay. (This can be used to add small snowflakes around the pile of snow) 5. A blur slope filter can also be applied to the mask to help add randomness to it. 6. Apply the snow gradient information in a User Channel, that way the mask can be exported out of Painter. (Be sure the histogram scan is disabled before doing so) 7. You are finished and the mask is now ready to be utilized inside a Game Engine such as Unreal Engine or Unity.

Some millennials have been working for 20 years and are still confused by corporate 😂 For those who are still in the dark let me fill you in. Your performance doesn't matter. Your performance review doesn't matter. Your compensation has been set by a budget committee a year ago. You are not "overachieving" anything. Management has a fixed pool of money to pay the people they manage so they can give them raises less than inflation. If they give you more money, they have to give someone else less money. It's a zero-sum game. Managers actually have a larger pool of money to hire new employees because corporations recognize that new hires need to be incentivized to come over. They won't just leave their company for the same money. If you've been at the same company for 5 years you are underpaid. If you've been at the same company for 10 years you are paid less than a new hire at a competitor. Loyalty doesn't matter because there is no reason for a company to voluntarily pay you more money. Corporations already know that over 95% of employees will not go anywhere and will take whatever they get. Even if that's nothing. There's no reason to pay everybody more money when only a tiny percentage of workers will leave. Even if you leave... (remember over 95% of employees will not) ... the corporation will distribute the work you were doing among all your coworkers. And they will take on the extra work. And they will stay. For nothing. Because in addition to a salary, what an employee wants is to not have to look for a new job. That's all the want. They don't want to move anywhere. And companies know it, and they will take advantage of that. Now you know! You're welcome.

✨ I made a little demo of #vibejam sponsor Tripo and how you can use it to generate assets for your games In this case I'm generating an apartment flat that's half destroyed and open for my drone sim to fly around, take cover and shoot at enemies from First I write the prompt and select Nano Banana to generate an image first, I get a few different ones, and I select the one I like Then that one is converted into a 3d object called a Smart Mesh Smart Mesh is different than regular image-to-3d models because usually you get issues with uneven polygon distribution, too dense geometry and poor edge flow, so while you think you save time with generating it with AI you end up doing lots of editing after to fix the topology which kinda defeats the point Smart Mesh doesn't have any of this, it's fast and clean low-poly models you can drop into your game Anyway, after generating the model I can then see it in 3d, and if I don't like it, regenerate it, or if I like it start texturing it Once that's done, I export it as a GLB, FBX or OBJ and drop it in (usually I use GLB as ThreeJS seems to prefer that), in my case I just drop the URL into Cursor and let it figure out the placement of the asset into my game!

Kobe Bryant shares the mamba mentality and how to live with a mindset of excellence. "My mentality going into every single game was just to absolutely obliterate this guy." "The fact of the matter is, I'm still trying to get better. So if I'm playing against a weaker opponent and I start coasting, I'm building nothing but bad habits." You have to compete every single day. Then he explains what excellence really looks like: "If you wanna play at an excellent level, if you wanna do something excellent, you have to be excellent all the time." "It's a way of life." "You gotta be excellent across the board. And that's how you build habits." Then he dropped the line: "When excellence becomes a habit, then that's just who you are." Excellence isn't situational - it's who you are. It's your habits and the standard that you set. It's about chasing, competing, and looking to give your best every single day.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr game 7 tears/clubhouse unity; (Translated by Master Flip) After the Game 7 loss, I was obviously devastated and in tears, but out on the field, I barely let it show, just a few tears slipping out. The real breakdown happened inside the clubhouse. I cried like a baby in there. It was gut wrenching to walk in and see everyone I’d spent the last seven months with, teammates, coaches, even the bat boys, all crying together. My brother, even the security guys, everyone! We were all crying in unity, sharing that same pain. When I finally got up and walked out, the families were waiting, clapping and telling us we’d done an incredible job. It meant a lot. Later, when I got home, I sent a message to my brother in law, Teoscar Hernández. “Bro, congrats,” with a heart❤️ and a broken heart💔 emoji. Obviously, I was hurting, even while being happy for him. After everything, I was completely devastated. But the family gathered, prayed, and gave thanks to God. When it was my turn to speak, all that came out was, “God, I just want to give thanks. I can’t ask for more than what you’ve given me this year.” It doesn’t matter what happens from here on out, 2025 will be my best year because that was the year that I guaranteed my family’s future! 🎥 Yancen Pujols

MOST OF THESE APPS DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS MODEL. NO VALUE. Builders, let me share a simple thought. Just because AI can build an app in minutes doesn't mean the world needs that app. We're already seeing thousands of apps that look fancy but solve nothing. They get launched, get a few clicks, and then nobody uses them again. Before building anything, ask yourself: "Would I use this app every day? Does it solve a real problem? Does it save time, make life easier, educate, entertain, or help someone earn money?" If the answer is no, go back to the drawing board. People don't pay for apps. People pay for value. If your app helps them achieve something important, they'll use it. If it doesn't, they'll ignore it no matter how beautiful the design looks. There are still huge opportunities in healthcare, education, media, productivity, gaming, finance, local services, and many other areas. The next big app on Pi Network might not be the most complicated one. It might be a simple app that solves one problem extremely well. Stop building copycats. Stop building for hype. Build something useful. Build something people need. Build something that even you would use every day. That's how real adoption happens. That's how you attract users. And that's how builders create lasting value.
