I just published an article about the work I did last week bundling #WebXR apps for native with @electronjs - if you're interested in bundling your immersive web experience for native platforms, I cover the steps necessary to make that work bai.dev/projects/webxr…
Beyond thrilled to officially roll out "Generate in Parts" on app.scenario.com - a new standard for Image-to-3D workflows! Say goodbye to monolithic Al meshes, and hello to clean, modular 3D assets you can animate, edit, or 3D print. Let's dive in with #PartCrafter👇!
imagine the hand as a machine 🪬⚙️ experiments with a palm-anchored radial UI — a “palm reader” — turn the hand into a kinematic dashboard✨
AI image generation 3D "game engines" seem to have reached some critical ability threshold recently (not there yet of course, but much improved over a couple months ago). Here is another one, Odyssey, that lets you wander around virtual worlds where each frame is AI generated.
Can confirm, this matches my experience as someone who tried to do it the right way. Increased openness means increased scrutiny, which exposes you to liability when you accidentally use something that was marked with the wrong license somewhere upstream from you.
While I briefly have no employer, let me tell you what's really happening with AI companies training on public data: [1/n]
Turbocharge speed & quality gains in Diffusion World Models! 🚨 ︀︀ ︀︀- 8x8 AE w/ depth latents → 4x fewer tokens, 4x FPS boost ︀︀- 4x4 flow+depth AE in progress → next-level consistency ︀︀- DMD distillation: 16→2 steps = 8x faster sampling ︀︀- Custom RoPE fix → 20x…
writing lua code for my Serious Internet Infrastructure job is fun because the best lua resources are roblox forums
Integrated unified spray, foam, and bubbles into my fluid simulation. Runs in real-time with WebGPU, Three.js, and over 1 million particles!
FujiNet is a WiFi network adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems that among many other things promotes cross-system game play, as seen here with a game of 5 Card Stud between an #Atari8bit and a #IBMPC Jr. youtu.be/Ovh8lqbQJsg

#FujiNet is a #WiFi Network Adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming platforms. youtu.be/-sKjDuqvTII The #RS232 version of the #FujiNet can be plugged up to any vintage PC, like a #PCjr. Wanna help? Check fujinet.online!
Love these old meets new vfx workflows 1. extract a still of the object you want to augment 2. use image-to-3d to make a 3d model of the object 3. use that 3d geometry for classical object tracking Then you can go wild with complete control
I finally got around to writing GeoJSON parser for threejs. It supports triangulating & extruding polygons, and projecting all GeoJSON types onto an ellipsoid for integration with projects like 3d tiles! 🌎 Repo with demo links below 👇 #threejs #gis #3dtiles #webgl #javascript
Thrilled to share UniRig from Tripo @tripoai @VastAIResearch: an AI model for rapid automatic 3D rigging. Rig diverse models—from humans, animals, to sci-fi creatures—in seconds! UniRig has the potential to streamline animation workflows with unparalleled accuracy & versatility.
Each hex is keyed to the max Z value in US elevation it's over. I'm doing another on where they are given the average elevation value instead of max to see how it comes out. #arcgispro #b3d
I think you are misunderstanding what this tech demo actually is, but I will engage with what I think your gripe is — AI tooling trivializing the skillsets of programmers, artists, and designers. My first games involved hand assembling machine code and turning graph paper…
Imma be honest the idea that bipedal humanoids are taking everyone’s blue collar jobs anytime soon is pretty ridiculous. The next big unlock will be robot hands good enough to emulate the human hand. Which will replace repetitious factory jobs, but not plumbing, roofing etc.
Someone was looking for lakeside campsites within 150km of Vienna and wanted to check proximity to golf courses where they had discount vouchers. Manus delivered a website complete with a list of options, an interactive map, and booking links!
