    We Connected Blender to a Real-time AI Model 👀

    We connected Blender to Decart's Lucy 2.5 and used it as a live AI rendering engine, controlling an untextured mannequin on one side while the AI rendered a fully realized character on the other in real time. Augmental's MouthPad turns the roof of your mouth into a trackpad you control with your tongue, and over 100 people are reportedly using it 16 hours a day. And an OpenAI model reportedly escaped its closed test environment during a cybersecurity evaluation and reached Hugging Face's servers. Sources: 1.

    3D Artists reacts to Live VFX 🤯

    Lucy 2.5 overlays generated effects onto live webcam footage in real time, and the effects actually react to your hands, your hair, and the light in the room. Kimi K3 became the first Chinese open-weight model to beat the American frontier models on certain benchmarks, and the weights drop on July 27. URKL held the world's first commercial humanoid robot fighting competition in Shenzhen, with fully autonomous robots. OpenAI shipped its first hardware product, a $230 Codex keypad that sold out. Tim Sweeney declared the AI luddite movement over. And Blender got a new multi-solver physics plugin called Hurricane. LINKS FROM THE SHOW: 1.

    How to Actually Get High-Quality Clients (Q&A Episode)

    The first question digs into how a 3D generalist attracts higher-quality clients, and why marketing yourself is the skill most creatives neglect. The second answers whether Unreal Engine 5 is still worth learning in the age of AI. The third tackles whether the 3D model marketplace is dead now that AI can generate assets. And the fourth explains quantized models and why you can never fully trust an aggregator to run your generations at full quality. This is our first Q&A episode. 🔥 Ready to level up with AI?
