#OpenEXR best practices
- Real-Time Playback/Compositing: Use B44/B44A or DWA for faster I/O .
- CGI/Rendered Content: ZIP (lossless) or PIZ (smaller files) .
- Texture Maps: ZIP for fast access .
- Layered EXRs: ZIPS for scanline efficiency .
- Avoid Lossy Compression for non-color data (e.g., normals, depth). #exr #vfx #rendering #b3d #CGI

I made myself review both Avatar movies in one day, which was something I had to do to see the progress, or lack thereof of James Cameron. And there is progress. A lot of it!

🎆 Bevy Hanabi v0.15.0 is out!

Following the usual release pattern, v0.15.0 is a major release with amazing new features:

➡️ New "hierarchical" effect feature allowing with GPU spawn event, to allow an effect to trigger particle spawning into another effect
➡️ A rewrite of the ribbons/trails implementation with explicit particle sorting. This replaces the confusing "group" API.

From time to time, I’ll upload the PBR materials I’ve prepared. It takes time, and I can’t always manage it. If you’re interested, you can download this PBR material at the link below. #b3d #gaming #VFX

GumroadAsphalt cracked grass Seamless PBRPBR Material: "Asphalt cracked grass Seamless" Physically Based Rendering (PBR) shader setup guide for a seamless bark texture.1. Overview Material Type : Seamless bark texture with PBR parameters. Texture Resolution : 1414x1414 pixels (tileable). Renderer Compatibility : Optimized for Cycles (with experimental features). 2. Core ParametersA. Base Color ControlToggle "Custom Color" slot to override the default albedo.B. Texture Mapping Map Scale : Adjusts texture tiling density. UV Requirements : Mesh must be UV-unwrapped. Optional : Modify texture coordinates by editing the node group’s mapping node. C. Roughness Default value: 1 (fully rough). Adjust to 0 for glossy surfaces. 3. Surface Detail ControlsA. Normal Map Strength : Adjusts surface detail intensity. Note : Default values typically suffice; adjust sparingly. B. Displacement Mid Level : Controls displacement midpoint (range: 0 to 1). Scale : Sets displacement intensity (higher = more pronounced). 4. Technical Notes Displacement Setup : Enable Experimental Features in Cycles. Use Adaptive Subdivision for optimal displacement results. Node Group Structure : All material nodes are consolidated into a single group for simplicity. Access the group to tweak advanced settings (e.g., texture coordinates). 5. Usage Tips For realistic results, match displacement scale to scene scale. Test variations by adjusting Mid Level and Scale interactively.

I decided to re-watch the first Transformers film today, but differently. Instead of indulging in it as mindless entertainment, I decided I want to actually view it seriously, as I would with somebody like Steven Spielberg, who, by the way, was an executive producer on the film.

I was frankly scared to re-experience the original James Cameron picture Avatar after knowing for certain that it is much worse, technically speaking, in comparison to the second film in the franchise. Yet I was confident that the film at the very least should be good. So I took my worries aside and watched it again. Does it hold up? Well let's talk about it.

I took another look at the progress of xSTUDIO, the media player and review application for #VFX. Seems like development is taking place not on their github but at internally at #DNEG. There is a development branch that got a few massive commits this year to sync it with their internal codebase.

Has anybody tried it yet or managed to compile it? It would be great to replace the Foundry's Hiero/Nuke Studio or the dog slow RV player...
