New video is now up on the channel! It's by far the most time I've ever spent working on a video, but I'm super proud of how it came out. youtu.be/s3VfFBp0tFo

The long-awaited Portal mod Alive & Kicking is finally out on Steam! Coming from when Steam Greenlight was still a thing and having a "bit of a hiccup" with Valve, the mod reimagines the first game using Portal 2's gameplay and visuals. Plus full remake of the advanced chambers

Es extraño que cualquier función que ofrezca la IA siempre va enmarcado de un mensaje tipo "Adios artistas, despídanse de su trabajo. Espero terminen en la calle, ahogados de su propio vómito. Que las llamas del infierno les sean eternas. Dios, cómo odio a los artistas"
👋🏼ADIÓS A LOS ANIMADORES DE JUEGOS Ya pueden ir aplicando a MCDONALD. NVIDIA acaba de cargarse 30 años de tecnología de animación de golpe. Sin blending. Sin foot-locking. Sin detección de colisiones. Sin UNA SOLA transición hecha a mano. Y se ve mejor que lo que hace la industria Se llama MotionBricks. Un solo modelo neuronal, 350.000 habilidades de movimiento, 15.000 FPS, 2 milisegundos de latencia. Se usa como quien apila bloques: → Le dices velocidad, dirección y estilo, y compone la locomoción sola → Herido, zombi, saltitos, lateral. Zero-shot, sin reentrenar nada → Cambias de estilo en caliente, en mitad del movimiento → Para agarrar un objeto pones cuatro keyframes aproximados y la red rellena cómo se acerca, cómo lo coge y cómo termina → Cada vez sale ligeramente distinto, como una persona real Sin tocar un grafo de animación. Sin saber animar. Y lo más fuerte: el mismo modelo ya mueve robots humanoides reales dentro del stack GR00T de NVIDIA. Personajes de videojuego y humanoides de carne y metal, con la misma red.

We enjoyed our roundtable discussion with executives from @altotrain, Cadence, and JR Central🚄 at ALTO's headquarter in Montreal. We hope that Japan's high-speed rail experience and technology can contribute to a better Canada 🇨🇦.

23 years ago today, American activist Rachel Corrie was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer as she tried to stop the demolition of a Palestinian home in Gaza.
