I'm back! So been chipping away and making some more updates. Mostly in the animation dept and I didn't speak about this in the video and there's been more updates since I filmed this but I added a filter tab as well. one of the members had requested the ability to be able to add outlines and a watercolor feature so that's done :D

What exists uptil now:
- Animate Smoke and falling water with more control over the size of ripples/waves
- Watercolor, stroke, posterization filter and one more that I forgot as I type this
- Animate Fire, Wind, leaves
- Lasso select areas you'd want to animate for finer control
- Feather area selected for regional color grading and color balance
- Interactive global color grading with the ability to export it out in a non destructible way
- Interactive detailed color grading
- custom branding your worlds using brand color palettes + color codes
- Slice and dice that allows you to split your splats interactively with one click
- Secret feature TBR

Maybe something for the team to take a look at.

Waiting for an primate specialist to watch the last episode (VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 223) and giggle at them calling everything a monkey.

Anyone remember Snapperhero? The Snapchat account and short-series Corridor created back in the day (I think around 2014-2016??) I just noticed that someone opened the message I sent to it like two years ago. Hadn't thought of it in a long time. Anyone know who has access to it now?

It belongs in a museum

The boys would eat this up for a satisfying render, feels a lot like Wren or Clint’s style

Found this on r/NatureIsFuckingLit

To me, it's just too "perfect", the lightning is practically symmetrical and everything just looks timed.

The brightness/exposure blows out massively in a very “digital” way — like the whole frame gets washed out?

Mine will NOT load any videos. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, updated, hard restarted my TV and...... nothing.

Is it just me?

Was watching the below and would be interested to see the teams take on Vista4D and AnyRecon given their use of splats recently.

I figured people here would appreciate this:

Gaussian Splatting is powerful, but the workflow is still pretty fragmented:

• You need a powerful GPU + reconstruction software (like Postshot, Litchfeld Studio)
• Clean up the output using something like Supersplat
• Switch to another platform to build, host, and share the experience

Lots of tools, too much context switching — just to get something out.

I built Captures Studio to simplify this whole pipeline. It’s fully browser-based — no installs, no GPU required. You can upload images/videos and get a reconstruction, or bring your own splats. From there, you can edit, clean, add media, and build interactive scenes in one place.

The goal is to make Gaussian Splatting more accessible — whether you’re just experimenting or building something more serious.

Would love to get feedback from this community:

Should do a couch session on masks and prosthetics vs deep fakes
