#throwbackthursday This week 's Throwback Thursday takes us back just a couple of years in the back catalogue of our new Head of CG, Aron Makkai to a phantasmagorical cowboy v alien story in the shape of Hollywood movie, Nope. Aron's insights: "Not that long ago, whilst working for MPC Character Lab, I had the pleasure of working on Jordan Peele's Nope. "VFX creatures made of flesh and bone, with or without costumes have been featured in films from early Ray Harryhausen to the latest Avatar installation. Jean Jacket (an alien creature) on Nope was so off-the-scale different that all the departments had to reach outside the toolbox to execute the award-winning concept design. "I had the honour to be trusted to do the look dev for Jean Jacket. "Normally skin and other fleshy surfaces are done by subsurface scattering. This gives an easy to control and realistic skin. But Jean Jacket, when folded out, was so translucent and thin in parts, a far more complex shader leaning into volume rendering and multi-scatter glass functions within Renderman was developed. This enabled the creature to be able to fold from its solid-looking "disk" state to its folded-out position, where parts are thin and transparent while other parts around the middle remain thick and solid looking. "Outside look dev, the execution relied heavily on rigging. Anil Onlem's contribution to the rigging warrants an exception to my self-imposed, no one mentioned no one forgotten, policy. "As it gets progressively harder to give the audience what they've never seen before, brave design decisions and a can-do attitude combined to make this a creature that is just that. Unique. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this awesome team effort." #tbt #throwbackthursday #offline #online #vfx #visualeffects #postproduction anil onlem https://lnkd.in/enMj2YeV

Analyzing Na'Vi's Victory: 5-7 Kills and Pistol Plays In the video transcription, Na'Vi's Bit impressively secures three kills with a 5-7 pistol, taking down opponents Chopper and Shiro. Despite a valiant effort from Dong, Bit emerges victorious. Na'Vi's strategic play with two M4s and three pistols pays off, showcasing their skill and teamwork. However, Alexi B manages to stop Donk's aggressive knife play, disrupting Na'Vi's momentum. Overall, Na'Vi's coordinated gameplay and individual performances shine through in this intense round. #IEM #CS #ESL #vizard

Demon Slayer Sword (Black Clover) This is a Game Ready model of the Demon Slayer held by Asta in Black Clover, but in my own style. for those who don't know:- Asta's Demon-Slayer Sword, often referred to as the Demon-Slayer Sword, is an important anti-magic weapon in the Black Clover series. The sword's unique power to neutralize and absorb magic enables Asta to cut through spells and magical barriers. It is coated with anti-magic, which increases Asta's combat effectiveness against magic users. The sword evolves and improves with time, symbolizing Asta's development and drive to achieve in the absence of traditional magical skills. The Demon-Slayer Sword represents Asta's fortitude in a magically infused world.  #LowPolyModeling #HardSurfaceModeling #Custom3DModels #3dmodeling #BlackClover #AnimeWeapons #3DModeling #FantasyArt #DemonSlayer #AstaSword #MagicalWeapon #AutodeskMayaArt #FanArt #DigitalArt #AnimeInspired #WeaponDesign #CosplayProps #OtakuArt #MangaArt

The launch of Sora shook the world! However, the model isn't perfect yet I've compiled all of the model's weak points into a single video. (Warning: it gets creepy a bit 🙈) 1. Danger of inaccurate physical modeling and unnatural object morphing Example: explosive basketball 2. Animals or people can spontaneously appear, especially in scenes containing many entities Example: Puppy cloning 3. Sora sometimes creates physically implausible motion Example: Person running backward on a treadmill 😅 4. Inaccurate physical interactions: Example: A creepy chair 5. Simulating complex interactions between objects and multiple characters is often challenging It sometimes results in humorous generations. Example: Creepy grandma birthday party. #artificialintelligence #openai #sora
