InstaRig is now available for pre-order on Gumroad and the Holotype web store! If you want a one-click facial rigging solution for #blender, don't miss this one. This will be released in early November so if you pre-order now, you'll get it much cheaper, and you also won't be waiting long.

InstaRig pre-sales are going fast (plus a tip from this customer, which was a pleasant surprise). Don't miss out!

First one gone! There's a fixed number of pre-orders so get in ASAP if InstaRig is something you can use in your modelling/rigging work. If you're unsure about the quality of the outputs, send me your mesh via e-mail or Discord and I'll run it through the pre-release version and share it with you.

Per their IPO docs, Anthropic estimates that between 5% and 7% of its revenue is from breaches of its terms (distillation, banned ML/AI work, etc).

Progress update on the new blendshape solver for Audio Lip Sync Pro. Left, ALSP drives some badly constructed ARKit blendshapes. Right, ALSP estimates blendshapes from the raw mesh via correspondence with a canonical reference & drives those blendshapes instead. Huge improvement. (Sound on)

Sharing some InstaRig outputs - from a clean/unrigged mesh to ARKit blendshapes with one click. Takes about 30 seconds: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjmq...

What ever happened to Poe?

I don't know why I'm doing this but I can't stop

Kimi 3.1 is here! Anyone willing to gift me $1000 so I can try it out via API, feel free.

This is the type of thing that comes up when I'm doing legitimate research. The internet was a mistake.

Every now and again I'll try image generation models for something and I'm reminded how they all mostly suck ass.

Speculation that "Kalmia" on LLM Arena is Qwen 4 too (Kimi 3.1 might be "Kibitz")

Going to tell my son this is how we all dressed in 2001

Rumours that Kimi K3.1 is incoming. I assume it will turn out like Kimi K3, a top-end model that noone really uses because it's too expensive.

FYI, OpenAI locks the currency based on your region (presumably IP-address based), with no way to change via the dashboard or manually via support. Funnily enough, for a company that some people claim reached AGI, this is *not* what their own website says.

@heyandras.dev does app.coolify.io use a vulnerable version of Traefik? Reference: foxio.io/blog/header-...

Everyone, we have discord and it's pretty fun there. The renders people share are FIRE! p.s. Render by Zicklag. discord.gg/6GcvZhFHD3 #3d #3dart #blender #b3d

For everyone close to the emerging situation, **please** document every single cyber guardrails refusal you get from a western frontier lab. It's important.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately. If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now. Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come. Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

rare non-shitpost from your pal ceej: if you self-host plex you’re gonna wanna update asap. crypto miner malware started hitting installs yesterday, it got me and I’m usually pretty up on this stuff

Actually seems like my original gut feeling was half right - new 4.1 Flash checkpoint now available.

Product Hunt is a total dumpster fire, I don't even know why I bothered. Maybe it's useful for a backlink, but I doubt it. I think I spent a sum total of 5 minutes on it, that's probably all it deserves.

Screenshot from Unity Store submission. I don't know how this compares historically, but that sounds high! The iOS App Store process should really implement something like this.

Audio Lip Sync Pro running inside Unity. Coming to the Unity Store very soon! Some people have been asking about a streaming runtime (for dynamically generated audio inside the game itself) and it's something I could consider if there is sufficient demand.

aaand now I see news coming out that Musk pulled Starlink from Ukraine, presumably because Zelenskyy didn't capitulate to the orange man about not striking Russian refineries. "Couple more months" was obviously way too optimistic.
