Join us at 12:00pm EST Thursday, July 25th for a live Enterprise demo by our Staff Video Workflow Architect, Ian Sansavera.
During this one hour session, Ian will discuss:
• The benefits of Enterprise
• An introduction to Gen-3 Alpha
• Pre-production workflows including storyboarding
• Post-production workflows including animation and VFX
The session will conclude with a fifteen minute Q&A session.

This is so neat ... workflows are becoming better and better in the world of AI based content creation. ConrolNets will also help out alot to further improve this. We have seen so many disruptive technologies over the past 30 years but I this is on a new level.

Black Forest Labs – the original team behind Stable Diffusion - released #Flux - a state-of-the-art text-to-image model which competes with Midjourney and Dall-E 3 in quality.
This poseable humans workflow uses a 3D Mixamo rig in #blender, single prompt retexturing with Playbook and refined with Flux in #comfyui.
While we wait for compatible ControlNets to be released, I used Flux as an upscaling / finetuning pass specifically because it handles hands and faces so well. The 3D rig approach is interesting because it opens the door for full freedom over character design in traditional animation workflows.
Need to animate 1.024 threads slithering in the air?
I simplified this complex setup in one node in Houdini: Trace Curves.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Create an offset attribute in the curves that define the path
2. Wire in Trace Curves
3. Configure size and animation for all curves at once.
And I'm making it available to all here:

Storyboard Sample: Bugs Bunny
This storyboard sample showcases two rectangular panels featuring the iconic Bugs Bunny in action. The visuals highlight his playful and mischievous nature, capturing the dynamic energy of his classic animation style. Each frame emphasizes the careful planning behind character movement, timing, and expression, essential in bringing the beloved character to life.

The current frontier for Generative AI is precise creative control. And while we all wait for Generative models to go 4D and output animated Gaussian Splats directly ( because Generating pixels is soo 2024 😜) hybrid 3D+AI workflows are the most promising.
Reading between the lines, the workflow below is actually Blender -> Stable Diffusion ( because ControlNets ) -> Flux Image 2 Image. It'll be interesting to see how quickly the Open Source community can port these tools directly to Flux.

It's quite astonishing to see how 3D modelling and rigging are now assisting with the creation of AI-generated imagery! The more I learn about XR and AI, the more I realise that 3D skills are becoming an essential asset to have for future jobs in the tech industry!
Animation, AI, Spacial / XR Design and Software Development have become the four pillars holding up the new IoT era.
...That said, it's becoming more important than ever now- that we look after our Digital Human Rights.
As exciting as the prospects of cutting-edge technology are, it's important to maintain a grounded and critical outlook towards the giants at the forefront of this movement. Question your algorithm recommendations, your data-sharing choices- and scrutinize companies and people who have been frequently proven to only have their own self-interest in mind.
This is also an era of instability, where people's employment —whether it be in the tech industry or elsewhere— has never been more at risk. We need for Human Rights Advocacy Groups to pick up the slack and put regulations in place to make sure that we re-establish the value of each individual, instead of reducing them to a replaceable object or a number in the great scheme of profits and losses.

I just finished this wine bottle animation for a fictionary brand named Davi Sansi. I designed the bottles from scratch in Blender and designed the label in Illustrator.
The goal of this project was to work on lighting, animation sequencing, liquid simulation, and composition. I was inspired heavily by David Jaasma’s course on Skillshare titled “Create a product Animation in Blender”

march 26, 2024 4:04 AM. 12 Pulse
As I mentioned before, it looks like Dr. Wang has done a higher order pulse beyond six, previously demonstrated. I indicated you could go 12, 18, 24 pulse. this is 2×6, pulse 3×6, pulse 4×6 pulse.
These represent 30° shifts that he mentions in this particular article.
The Delta transformation means you have 30° shifts between the various sets of transformers which is outlined in Edith Clarke’s “operator” “a” lectures.
It is also just basic Persian, Arabic and Egyptian math that has existed for thousands of years we’ve just recently been discovering these particular monuments that are around that have these particular dimensions that were well established before we learned how to read and write.
Somehow people understood these things without actually writing it down or they just somehow came up with these things, and had structures that showed particular dimensions that we do not understand how they got it.
It’s very biblical Old Testament related. Or you could say it’s Karma, as nearly all major religions around the world, have this story built into the human records of life.
First we had hunter gatherers and then we went onto farming, engineering, and other methods of creating advance civilizations.
I called that operator “a” - alpha and the (Omega). the original languages had 24 characters English uses at least two extra ones. Earlier languages appear to have his lines and curves, which is more of an analog signal.
Three-Phase 12-Pulse Diode Rectifier
This animation illustrates a three-phase 12-pulse diode rectifier, which has two full-bridge rectifiers connected in series on the DC side. Each of the full-bridge rectifiers was already explained in an earlier post https://lnkd.in/gwm9XKVS. The two sets of ac sources are phase-shifted by 30 degrees to create 12 pulses on the dc side voltage within each ac fundamental cycle. The phase-shift between the two sets of ac voltage sources is typically created by a transformer's secondary windings that are connected in wye- or delta-configuration.
The aspect ratio of the video clip is set to 16:9 for better fitting the figures.
Nice!
