Watching the frontflap work to keep control in the lower atmosphere, lit by something burning out of frame, after seeing a third of it evaporate and get blown off by hypersonic plasma. Beats the supersonic flips flight 1 gave us as the most metal thing I’ve seen a rocket do

Looked convincing at first, but it felt too clean- Then at 7 seconds in, you can watch a white panel clip straight through the door and windshield lol

And that’s why we sanitize our inputs

As somebody who’s used blender for years and experimented with the denoisers, I thought so too. The inputs you usually give denoisers are the rendered image, the albedo of every pixel, and the normals. Denoisers can struggle with reflective surfaces because the albedo and normals match that of the surface, not what’s being reflected in it, and so offer no real help to the network- which would explain why this single spot is where it showed up. I only commented because I found it funny. It’s such a tiny detail, it doesn’t detract from the art at all, and I only noticed it because I’m used to hunting for stuff like that in my own renders. Having everything turn out perfect except for one stupid thing you didn’t notice until after you posted it is extremely relatable to me

Really impressive modeling and texturing! The only question I have is why the branding on the fridge looks AI generated, did a denoiser disagree with the reflective surface? It’s such a small detail, but everything else is so well executed it jumped out to me lmao

Tired, mostly. Everything I depend on seems like it’s wearing out, falling apart, or actively sabotaging itself. I have to fight manipulative assholes, corporate greed, and plain entropy decay just to exist. I’m tired of every corner of my life being under attack from something.
