Ars Technica: Google’s SynthID AI watermarking tech is being adopted by OpenAI, Nvidia, and more. “How can we know what’s real in the age of AI?

Those numbers are only going up now that SynthID is […]

Euronews: Big tech too influential over AI standards, warns report. “Big tech companies are disproportionately involved in the drafting of EU recognized standards for artificial intelligence tools, a report by campaign group Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) claimed. The report identified that more than half (55%) of the 143 members taking part in the joint technical committee on AI (JTC21) […]

On Google’s Policy Change Towards Fingerprinting. “While it is possible to use fingerprinting in line with laws like the EU GDPR and ePrivacy, big technology platforms had set higher standards.

As of December 28, 2024, #smartphones, #tablets, and numerous other #ConsumerDevices that charge over a #cable will have to support #USBC charging to be sold in #Europe, meaning the clock is ticking on #Apple's #LightningCable.

Aras has a good track record speeding up the OBJ I/O, so I'm glad to see he's sticking his nose in the USD I/O as well :)

Random thought this morning: I should try importing Disney Moana Motunui island USD scene into Blender (https://www.disneyanimation.com/resources/moana-island-scene/).

Four hours later: ohhh.

Might do some optimization work ahead maybe?

Blender stops following the VFX Reference Platform.

https://code.blender.org/2022/02/vfx-reference-platform/

I think it's a good choice.

Here're some #professional #industrystandards #business tips on setting up properly automated invoicing and all the whatever tax dum-dums you need to sell them online goods:
1.: Find some bricks, iron pipes and similar apparatuses. We will talk about this later but start here first.
2.: Gah git sum beeer. Lots of 'em!
3.: Put on the fine records of the highly acclaimed, multi Jesus'scar'cademy award winner composer, The Revolting Cocks.
4.: mashed my potatoes
5.: What were we talking about?

#Blender can now export custom properties to #Alembic!

Read all the details in the 2.91 release notes:

https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.91/IO#Alembic_.26_USD

#b3d #interoperability #IndustryStandards

Alembic time! If you use Alembic in your workflow, please visit https://code.blender.org/2020/06/changes-to-the-alembic-exporter/ and discuss the planned changes. I think you'll like them, but I could also benefit from your experience.

#b3d #Alembic #IndustryStandards

Phew, the new #Alembic exporter is done! It's now using the same code base as the #UniversalSceneDescription exporter, paving the way for the future. And fixing a bug reported by @3DBystedt

Now it's waiting for review at https://developer.blender.org/D7664

#b3d #IndustryStandards #devfund

Last week I finished some final tweaks to Blender's @[email protected] Universal Scene Description exporter, and I took it out of the "experimental" features. It's now always enabled in our daily builds!

#b3d #Blender #UniversalSceneDescription #IndustryStandards

#Blender's #USD Exporter landed in master! It's still marked as experimental, because some things are bound to change. I hope to have that lifted before the feature freeze of 2.82 :)

#b3d @[email protected] #IndustryStandards

Well, here we go. My code for exporting from #Blender to Universal Scene Description (#USD @[email protected]) is under review. https://developer.blender.org/D6287

#b3d #IndustryStandards

Work on the Universal Scene Description (#USD) exporter has continued. I'm cleaning up code and adding some automated tests. I'm aiming to get the patch into review some time this or next week.

#b3d #Blender #IndustryStandards

Hey all! I want to change how #Blender imports/exports mesh normals from/to #Alembic files.

Please have a look at http://developer.blender.org/T71246. Either give it a ♥ token if you like it, or pitch in with a comment if you see problems with it.

#b3d #IndustryStandards #Collaboration

Some more #Alembic #b3d issues have been squashed. Interpolated child hairs on top of an animated Alembic mesh have never been more stable (T56408 & T63534).

#Blender #IndustryStandards #FridayFixes

To all software developers using #Alembic: please do not assume the file is 24 FPS. Alembic has a very clear API to access timing information. Please use that, or we get bug reports like https://developer.blender.org/T55288

#b3d #IndustryStandards #cooperation

New #Alembic features for Blender 2.81: proper support for saving & loading mesh normals!

#b3d #IndustryStandards #WorkWorkWork

Look at that, @[email protected] published a Windows build of my Universal Scene Description (#USD) branch of Blender: https://blender.community/c/graphicall/8fbbbc/

An update on my work with Pixar's Universal Scene Description (#USD) in #Blender : https://code.blender.org/2019/07/first-steps-with-universal-scene-description/#update_20190726
(blog post updated today)

TL;DR: mesh normals, compatible naming of UV Maps/texture coordinates, fluid sims, and fluid vertex velocity.

#b3d #IndustryStandards #progress

Look at that, I merged the #Mantaflow and #USD branches, and exported the result of the fluid sim without any problem to USD.

#progress #b3d #IndustryStandards #UniversalSceneDescription #theFuture

More work on Universal Scene Description (#USD) in #Blender: we now export mesh normals and allow standard naming of UV Maps (that is "st", not sure why UV maps are using the first two letters of my last name). Thanks @[email protected] for the pointers.

#b3d #IndustryStandards

My first steps with #USD, Pixar's Universal Scene Description, in #Blender, turned into a blog post: https://code.blender.org/2019/07/first-steps-with-universal-scene-description/

In short: it's cool stuff. Go read.

#b3d #IndustryStandards

Further and further we go into the land of Universal Scene Description (#USD). I can now export linked-in collections and posed characters.

#b3d #Spring #industryStandards

Work in progress on #USD (Universal Scene Description) support in #Blender.

#b3d #industryStandards #WIP

Very much work in progress, but it's my first mesh exported from #Blender to #USD (Universal Scene Description) that's actually working!
