#vfx — Public Fediverse posts

I see the @linuxfoundation has also infected the Academy Software Foundation with AI slop. Good job 👍

Tonight (August 19, 2026 at 6 PM EDT), and we're going to try to build a bubble of fluid inspired by this Pantene commercial from @arsthanea: https://arsthanea.com/work/pantene-infinity-lenghts. We'll probably use some Vellum and POPs to make it work. As always, bring your thoughts & ideas.

Ad of the day writeup for the latest from NOISE. I can safely say this is the only job where I cried during some of the dailies but like in a good way...

"The render farm management space is in an awkward moment. Legacy on-premises systems are aging out of active development. The primary cloud-native alternative requires deep AWS infrastructure investment (...)"

Yep, we've customised Deadline a lot but most is working around shortcomings. Plus, there are bugs that Amazon won't fix anymore.

I haven't tested SQI and it is at a very early stage. But I like its honest roadmap and stated design goals.

Spiders have three life cycles. When between cycles, it can leave the spider vulnerable to threats. And for those spiders who make it through, it amounts to a kind of... VFX Show! Mike Seymour, Jason Diamond, and Matt Wallin discuss the #VFX in the latest chapter of the Spider-Man story.

Bueno, pues he empezado otro proyecto. Estoy metiendo más caña a la edición de vídeo y para practicar me he propuesto hacer clips y montajes cortos.

Como no quiero pensar ideas lo que hago es pillar cualquier clip random y meter edición hasta que me gusta. Vamos, un collage pero en vídeo.

Cuando tenga varios clips los juntaré y llamaré al vídeo "ruido adiovisual" porque es lo que es. Cada uno tendrá su música y su estilo propio.

⚠️ Aviso de epilepsia.

Epic Spaceman Uses Animation, VFX To Explain Science. Without AI

How a video artist made a science communication channel. Built up the quality of his work. Refuses LLMs. But still gets dismissed on assumptions he is using them.

I think I will start to slowly migrate my code projects to codeberg.
I guess it's a good time to plug again the first repository I moved:

> https://codeberg.org/vertfluo/image-processing-lxm

It's a collection of scripts and resources for image-processing. They are tailored for my personal workflow but I made sure they are configurable and enough documented for anyone (techy enough). #vfx #python

I probably said this before, but I'm finally getting to Project Hail Mary (yeah I know).

There comes a time in each show, or even scene maybe, where you have to decide if space is *darker* than the FG elements or *lighter*.

So it seems the attendance for #SIGGRAPH 2026 was about 9500, a bit above Denver, but about 4,775 less that Los Angeles 2023, and almost 3000 less than Vancouver last year.

But while digging around, stumbled by accident to the Chair's Corner blog. Didn't know one of the EC members had quit over disagreements how the conference has been handled. Whole thing here:

Hope things get straightened out for next year.
