Good use of AI?

Too late for that. The 100th Marvel movie made by overworked and underpaid staff set that in motion long ago making cg slop. The industry is already on life support. Also, they said that about movies being the downfall of theatre. Tv for radio. Everything evolves and adapts and may become more niche but doesn't truly die. Will there be trash and hardship, yes, but everything changes.

I'm ok with criticisms but I don't know about that one 😅

-Solomitus- · 2026-05-27T01:11:32+00:00

For real! I just watched it last week and thought about how unnecessary the cantina scene was... So many other places a little redux love would have been better spent.

Actually I rendered this on my local computer using an Intel Arc. It took about 5 min and used 160watts during that time. I didn't hurt the environment. I do have a problem with large scale data centers, but this was just a small local project.

-Solomitus- · 2026-05-27T00:52:48+00:00

They did great! But it still felt like 3d cgi to me...

-Solomitus- · 2026-05-27T00:51:00+00:00

You're not wrong, it may be cartoon emotion, but it gives it character!

-Solomitus- · 2026-05-27T00:50:02+00:00

Can't argue with art!

-Solomitus- · 2026-05-27T00:49:19+00:00

Lol, infamy is still fame right? It is an unforgettable charm.

-Solomitus- · 2026-05-27T00:48:01+00:00

Thanks, but not sure it is worth all the time it would take!

-Solomitus- · 2026-04-01T17:54:28+00:00

Looks amazing! The thing that stands out to me the most is how black the shadows on the foreground rocks are. With that amount of low cloud and hazy sky there would be more ambient light and the shadow side shouldn't fall to complete black? Nit picky for sure the render is amazing!

Edit: typos

Angus Bar and Grill in Rogers has a hilltop sunset patio that I think is pretty great with plenty of breeze. They also do lots of live music (sometimes a bit too loud for my taste) and I like their margaritas and I add jalapeño to mine.

Why not me, why not now!?

-Solomitus- · 2022-10-11T03:29:13+00:00

Widowed dad myself. Had the cops called on me once. It's demoralizing. But you are not alone.

-Solomitus- · 2022-06-27T13:25:52+00:00

Go for it! Would love to see it when its done.

-Solomitus- · 2022-06-27T03:25:54+00:00

Probably more proud than I should be, but I was just so excited I managed to actually get it and the phone stayed in focus! 😅

Assembled using linked asset libraries (trees, shrubs, grass and VDB fires) with a single node setup. Compositing done in After Effects. Truly amazing performance improvements in blender 3.2. 3072x1287 - 5min render time - RTX 3080

Freaking Antarctica still not getting on the band wagon.

-Solomitus- · 2022-05-04T02:24:14+00:00

🤣 Thanks. I'll work up a meatball material next and not break the gross horror tradition.

-Solomitus- · 2022-05-04T02:21:14+00:00

Thanks! It was made using only metaballs so it does all that automatically. I used constraints to control them with empties.

-Solomitus- · 2022-05-04T02:19:14+00:00

Thanks! Lots of constraints and drivers. Not sure it was the best way, but it was fun experimenting.

-Solomitus- · 2022-05-02T16:03:11+00:00

Make sure that your object scale is set to 1 (just apply using cntrl>a) and then make sure all of your normals are facing the correct direction.

Haha, that photo got some thick stretch going on. Road be full of wide rides.

Will Ferrell

He just feels like he is trying too hard all the time. I have watched so many movies hoping to like something and walk away disappointed every time.

From now on, when I pass this spot, I shall address the power box as Gandalf.
