Water caustics improvements: - Added a "focal depth" with max "sharpness", caustics get smoother away from the focal depth - Voronoi octaves added+multiplied (n1+n2+n1*n2) to make overlaps extra bright - Slight chromatic dispersion, amplified at focal depth

I’ve taken the #threejs water realism to the next level! Now with RGB distortion in the caustics, we get even more realistic, colorful light projections. The water movement has been improved to flow naturally, with optimizations for smoother performance. Plus, I’ve added a post-processing effect that simulates underwater distortion, complete with a dynamic waterline when the camera is partially submerged. After diving in, watch out for realistic water droplets on the screen! Stay tuned for the live link coming soon! 🌊💧. You can watch the video with better quality on my YouTube Channel. #threejsJourney #creativecoding #r3f

I created my own custom water material and underwater post process material in UEFN! It uses distance fields to create foam and ripples around objects on the surface and I can also add algae/pondscum to the surface. I plan on adding more features to this material soon! For underwater, I project a caustics material along surface normals in the underwater post process material as well as using scene depth to make things up close appear clear and things farther away appear not as clear. #UEFN #Fortnite

No Three.js. No fake web-based depth-of-field or focal-length emulation. Customize in web, render in Blender. While everyone is vibe-coding apps for flat pattern generators, or at most Three.js-based 3D scenes, we’re already one step ahead. We built an app that lets you use a web UI to control an actual Blender 3D render. Eevee engine is used for streaming quick previews back into the app, while Cycles renders the final image for better material quality and lighting. So simple to use that you can even give it to your client. Of course, built with Toolcraft.

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 of detail now on top of it. Although not all shots resulted in good waterflow direction . Combined a line-art + depth pre-processor to generate the shot guide. Also used these line-art generations in Nano Banana 2 to get the new first and last frames. Some shots are still tricky to get right if you want to keep control over the shot, especially the last shot with nothing in the end frame.

Design Engineering Tip: Separate the object from its shadow. When an element lifts away from a surface, the shadow doesn't always need to move with it. Keeping the shadow grounded and fading it based on distance can create a stronger sense of depth and physicality. Used carefully, this can make interfaces feel more tangible and less like layers floating on a screen. It's not something I'd apply everywhere, but for moments that need extra emphasis, it can be surprisingly effective. js const card = document.querySelector(".notification"); const shadow = document.querySelector(".shadow"); card.animate( [ { transform: "translateY(0)" }, { transform: "translateY(-160px)" }, ], { duration: 900, easing: "cubic-bezier(.64,0,.78,0)" } ); shadow.animate( [ { opacity: 0.5, transform: "scaleX(1)" }, { opacity: 0, transform: "scaleX(.35)" }, ], { duration: 700, easing: "ease-out" } );

PROMPT DROP 🚨 for Creators & NFT Collectors. 🎨 Minting the Self: Genesis of the Living Canvas🪽 The prompt is optimised to inherit the style, colour palette, and personality of your character. 💀 Drop your creations below 🌐 Keen to see what you mint 👀 🚨PROMPT👇🏼 Use the provided PFP/NFT character as the primary reference. The character must remain fully recognizable and true to its original design—preserve exact facial features, proportions, textures, materials, color palette, accessories, and overall personality. All elements in the scene must adapt to and harmonize with the character’s unique visual style—whether that is cartoon, anime, voxel, hyper-realistic, or stylized 3D. Create a hyper-detailed fine art studio scene where the character stands before a massive canvas. The painting on the canvas is a fully completed, master-level version of the same character, rendered in a refined, elevated interpretation of its original style. The character’s signature identity feature (mask, face, helmet, eyes, or defining trait) must be 100% complete, sharp, and highly detailed—serving as the focal anchor of the composition. They hold a paintbrush dripping with material true to their world (oil paint, neon energy, pixels, liquid chrome, etc.), and the colors precisely match their original palette—visually linking the act of painting to the formation of their body. The studio environment subtly inherits the character’s aesthetic and personality: Color grading aligns with the character’s palette (dark, vibrant, pastel, neon, etc.) Props and materials reflect their universe (futuristic, street, fantasy, minimal, luxury) Lighting style matches their mood (soft cinematic, harsh contrast, neon glow, ethereal light) A large window casts natural or stylized light consistent with the character’s world, enhancing texture, depth, and atmosphere. Paint or material drips from both the canvas and the character, seamlessly blending creator and creation, reality and artwork. Style Output: ultra-detailed, cinematic composition, faithful to the character’s original art direction, enhanced with fine art realism and high-end 3D rendering, 8K resolution, museum-quality lighting, rich textures, depth of field, and tactile detail.

A Smell Simulator That Uses Ultrasonic Waves Through Your Skull To Trick Your Brain Into Thinking Of A Smell That Is Not There. Instead of targeting your nose at all, the device directly targets the olfactory bulb in your brain with "focused ultrasound through the skull". The researchers say that as far as they're aware, no one has ever done this before, even in animals. “We found our ‘sweet spot’ to be low-frequency ultrasound focused right below the forehead and angled downward toward the bulbs. Specifically: • 300 kHz frequency (low enough to penetrate the skull well) • Focal depth of about 39 mm (where the ultrasound energy converged beneath the forehead) • 50–55° steering angles (to point the focus down toward the bulbs) • 5-cycle pulses at a 1200 Hz repetition rate (short, rapidly repeating bursts We distinguish between a smell and a sensation here because, subjectively, they feel different. The smells are strong and localized to the noise, almost like you could sniff around and find the source. The sensations are more diffuse: a weak, slow-onset impression of a smell, often paired with other (likely placebo) feelings, such as a light tingling on the face. Both smells and sensations are strongest on a light in-breath, so we tested by sitting there, with a probe to the forehead, mildly sniffing. Sometimes there is a slight waft of a smell that comes on over a few breaths, and sometimes it just hits you. The first time Albert smelled the garbage, he jerked his eyes open thinking a garbage truck just drove in!" The team of four are Lev Chizhov, Albert Yan-Huang, Thomas Ribeiro, Aayush Gupta. Chizhov is a neurotech entrepreneur with a background in math and physics, Yan-Huang is a researcher at Caltech with a background in computation and neural systems, and Ribeiro and Gupta are co-researchers on the project with software engineering and AI expertise.

On this day, 56 years ago, Dario Argento's debut film "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage"(1970) premiered in Milan, Italy. Dario Argento on why "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage" (1970) was popular: "Interviewer: The film famously played for several years straight in Milan. Why do you think it was so popular? Argento: I think it was because it was the first time psychology and psychoanalysis was put into a Giallo movie, and that went beyond the normal Giallo movies at the time. Most of them didn't have many layers. I added a psychological depth to it. It is probably the reason why it was so popular and also why it was so imitated by other directors afterwards. I was very influenced by American movies from the 1950s and 60s in that regard, in particular those produced by Val Lewton. He used to produce very low-budget movies. The distribution companies used to screen them as B-movies or second movies in double bills. But Lewton allowed directors like Jacques Tourneur, Mark Robson, and Robert Wise to make low-budget films with incredible, psychological stories." (Dario Argento's interview with Adam Scovell, BBC, 2023)

The trend of ultra-luxury home design has officially reached a new level of obsession with the $49,000 "Black Hole" pool. This isn't just a dark finish; it’s an absolute matte coating imported from Africa, specifically engineered to absorb light so efficiently that it creates a total void effect in the backyard. The visual result is a complete loss of depth perception. Once the water is added, the surface becomes a perfect mirror that appears bottomless, making it impossible for the human eye to distinguish where the steps end and the deep end begins. While the aesthetic is undeniably sleek and futuristic, it raises a massive debate about safety—especially for swimmers who rely on visual cues to navigate the water. Why It’s Going Viral: The Cost: A nearly $50k price tag just for the finish, not including the pool construction itself. The Physics: The material is so matte that it creates a "black hole" effect, effectively "erasing" the appearance of water. The Risk: Is a high-end look worth the risk of a "disappearing" floor? This project took three weeks of hand-applied layers to ensure a perfectly uniform surface, as even the slightest imperfection would ruin the illusion. It represents the extreme lengths homeowners are going to for one-of-a-kind, "Instagrammable" architecture. Is this the future of modern luxury, or a design choice that prioritizes style over safety?

An ocean of energy opportunities opens up in the Andaman Sea! Very happy to report the occurrence of natural gas in Sri Vijayapuram 2 well at a distance of 9.20 NM (17 km) from the shoreline on the east coast of the Andaman Islands at a water depth of 295 meters and target depth of 2650 meters. Initial production testing of the well in the range of 2212 – 2250 meters has established the presence of natural gas with intermittent flaring. The gas samples were brought by ship to Kakinada, were tested and found to be 87% methane. The size of the gas pool and commercial viability of the discovery will get verified in the coming months but establishing the presence of hydrocarbons in the Andaman basin is a major step in confirming our long held belief that Andaman basin is rich in natural gas, in line with discoveries in the entire area from Myanmar in North to Indonesia in the south in this belt. Under the deepwater mission announced by Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji on Independence Day, large number of deepwater exploration wells are planned in our offshore basins in order to find new discoveries and fully exploit our hydrocarbon reserves. This occurrence of natural gas will help us in taking forward our exploration ambitions in coordination with global deepwater exploration experts like @petrobras bp India Shell ExxonMobil and will be a significant milestone in our journey through Amrit Kaal!

Ferris State HC Tony Annese - Mesh (QB/Ball Carrier) & Motion Fundamentals QB Mesh Fundamentals - Regardless of play, the first thing the QB needs to do to make sure he has a good mesh is stab the ball back off his hip towards the ball carrier as far as he can. - His arms should be straightened with his eyes at the HOK. - The ball should move with the back through his track. - If the ball is pulled the decision must be made by the time the ball gets to the QB's front hip. Ball Carrier Mesh Fundamentals - The potential ball carrier is the one that is responsible for his track. He needs to make sure his is at the mesh point that the QB is creating. - He must maintain a pocket that is firm enough to secure the ball but loose enough that the QB can pull the ball if the read is a pull read. - Do not deviate from the track until you fully clear the mesh. - If you do not get the ball then track away from the HOK and make him chase you. Motion Fundamentals - All of our motions start up at FULL SPEED! It is incredibly important to make every motion at full speed so the QB has a consistent timing. - The QB is responsible for sending the motion back on every play except for the triple option. - This allows us to control each motion easier. - Every Jet motion should be timed as if the jet back was getting the ball regardless of play. - The motion back will change his depth based on play. - This allows us to use motion with a multitude of schemes. - The motion stops at different spots on different plays and each perimeter player must understand where he should stop for each play.

Ferris State HC Tony Annese - Mesh (QB/Ball Carrier) & Motion Fundamentals QB Mesh Fundamentals - Regardless of play, the first thing the QB needs to do to make sure he has a good mesh is stab the ball back off his hip towards the ball carrier as far as he can. - His arms should be straightened with his eyes at the HOK. - The ball should move with the back through his track. - If the ball is pulled the decision must be made by the time the ball gets to the QB's front hip. Ball Carrier Mesh Fundamentals - The potential ball carrier is the one that is responsible for his track. He needs to make sure his is at the mesh point that the QB is creating. - He must maintain a pocket that is firm enough to secure the ball but loose enough that the QB can pull the ball if the read is a pull read. - Do not deviate from the track until you fully clear the mesh. - If you do not get the ball then track away from the HOK and make him chase you.

The Smoked Old-Fashioned, yes please, I’ll take mine with a Davidoff Grand Cru Robusto 😎 • 2 oz bourbon (or whiskey of choice) • 1 tsp simple syrup (or ½ tsp sugar + a splash of water) • 2 dashes Angostura bitters • Large ice cube (or smoked ice sphere) • Orange peel (for garnish and expressing oils) • Wood chips (oak, cherry, or applewood) for smoking Steps (as shown in their style): 1. Smoke the empty glass first: Place a small amount of wood chips in the smoker kit, light them, and cover the glass to infuse smoke (usually 30–60 seconds). 2. In the smoked glass, add the simple syrup and bitters. Stir to combine. 3. Add the large ice cube and pour in the bourbon. Stir gently to chill and dilute slightly. 4. Express the oils from the orange peel over the drink, then drop it in as garnish. 5. Optional: Add a quick extra smoke pass over the finished drink for more aroma. It’s a classic Old Fashioned elevated with smoke for extra depth—rich, balanced, and whiskey-forward. If you don’t have a smoker, you can still make a delicious regular Old Fashioned the same way (just skip the smoke step). Cheers! 🥃
