"And it's so great to not see greenscreen anywhere in the footage" of the "Superman Day" BTS video on YouTube.

Oh you sweet summer children. Aside from the blue screen that is actually in there and visible, I'd put good money on this being a giant greenscreen that had the color taken out for the video. I also saw what was clearly the backs of LED wall panels if we want to gripe about other non-practical things.

I don't know why they do this for promo....

My friend @vvzen wrote up a much more clever and sophisticated version of a #hack I did many years ago to alter the opening splash screen art of $7000 professional #VFX software, #houdinifx

It's a great read and explanation across #cpp , #docker #qt and our old friend #LD_PRELOAD. Nice to have some fun in the #vfxpipeline mines.

When I've got a second I'm going to recreate this setup for my original target, #FoundryNuke

Hey everyone, we've just shared a fantastic Cosmic Web Geometry Nodes effect for Blender. It is useful for creating superstructures resembling galactic filaments – that actually run super fast and are super well optimized.

Gotta hand it to Brady Johnston for sharing this crazy fast Plexus. And a major thanks to Erindale‬ for the always incredibly helpful Discord community for fans.

Check the tutorial & the downloads:

I stumbled upon an interesting blog today while searching for an image of the Silicon Graphics 3D cube logo. Named "Abort Retry Fail" by Bradford Morgan White, the blog's articles document computer history. I eventually wound up reading three of them.

#1 "The Rise and Fall of Silicon Graphics"
