Pirate Bay Fluid and Ocean simulation By Bart on November 26, 2024 Video A spectacular video of a pirate ship in a bay by BlindIllusionist, with a quick scene breakdown.I created this pirate bay in Blender and simulated the waves crashing into the bay with Flip Fluids.The ship I made myself a while ago and it took me several approaches to get the waves coming in to look right.A resolution of 1000 was needed to get enough detail in the water and in the future, I might try an even higher resolution. Please watch the video to the end for the details about the simulation and the breakdown of the scene.Please enjoy!

Chinese state media is reportedly troubled by the latest exodus of X users flocking to Bluesky. State outlets, which put considerable resources into amassing millions of followers on Elon Musks social media platform including by buying ads, deploying bots, and hiring influencers have recently seen their growth plateau. The growing popularity of Bluesky, which has a largely liberal base and harder-to-manipulate algorithm, has sparked worried chatter within Chinese state media circles, a former Xinhua and China Daily employee wrote in his newsletter. He predicted the accounts will migrate to Bluesky, though it may take time. For now, the sectors focus has shifted back to domestic, Mandarin-language channels and platforms like Bilibili, WeChat, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

Slow It Down"We're doing our best to include the right amount of story" - Arcane's showrunner on those season 2 pacing complaintsNothing to be done about it now, though.Image credit: Riot/ Netflix News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Nov. 26, 2024 A number of fans felt that Arcane season 2, particularly the last act, felt quite rushed, and showrunner Christian Linke has offered his thoughts on the complaints.Look, Arcane is a very pretty show to look at, but I think you'd be kidding yourself a bit if you didn't think the story felt a bit all over the place in the second (and final) season. There were way too many plotlines going on, that really needed at minimum an extra season to build towards. Now, in an interview with GamesRadar, showrunner Christian Linke has responded to fan complaints over the pacing. "When people watch season 1, there's an aspect to the pacing season 2 is a bit different in that regard," Linke said.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. "I respect that people express that [opinion]. You're right the vast majority of the audience seems to be happy. But there are people who say, 'It's rushed. What's going on?'" As GamesRadar notes, a big part of the appeal for many fans of the first season was the various characters' relationships and how they unfolded over the course of the season, but in this one a lot of it kind of sped over just to get to the end. Linke admits that the team "did approach season 2 a little bit differently in how we structured the episodes because we wanted, as creatives, to take these bets [and] take these swings."It seems like for most people that works really well. There's some people who specifically wanted to see the continuation of season one in that regard and are disappointed. I'm not happy that they feel that way, but I respect that." There's also the issue of having even more characters from that specific League of Legends universe that didn't even make it in, so as much as there were complaints about their being too much going on, Linke also recognised that some wanted even more."There are people who say it's too rushed, too much going on. There's also the flip side. I see like, 'Where's Camille? She's part of Piltover. Where's Blitzcrank? Where's Twitch? Why didn't you include them?' On one side, you have people saying it's too much. On the other, you have people saying we didn't do enough and we did our best It's hard. We're doing our best to include the right amount of story."As mentioned, I really do think Arcane needed at least another season, but you can see why it didn't when you see how much both seasons cost. Plus, it sounds like there's plenty more on the way from Riot on the multimedia front anyway, so I guess they needed to wrap this one up any which way.

Look Familiar?Stitch ventures head-first into the uncanny in the first teaser trailer for the live-action remake of Lilo and StitchJust nothing behind the eyes in this one.Image credit: Disney News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Nov. 26, 2024 Disney has finally released a look at Stitch in the live-action Lilo and Stitch Remake in motion, and it's only a little bit uncomfortable.Just last week we got a trailer for one beloved animated film that's being turned into a cash grab live-action remake (How to Train Your Dragon), and now we've got another one, this time from Disney instead of DreamWorks. The house of mouse released the 30 second teaser yesterday which mostly shows Stitch pretending to be Godzilla, destroying a sand castle that looks like the iconic Disney castle, amongst other, regular sandcastles. Aside from a bit at the end where a CGI character is placed in a void to interact with some text (in this case, the release date, which is May 23, 2025 by the way), you won't find much else there. A pretty bare bones first look! Watch on YouTubeThe film's official logline doesn't sound any different from the original logline, noting that Lilo and Stitch follows "the bond formed between a lonely human girl named Lilo and a dog-like alien named Stitch, who is engineered to be a force of destruction." Original director Chris Sanders is back to voice Stitch, with Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) taking over directing duties. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. In terms of the rest of the cast, first-time actor Maia Kealoha will be portraying Lilo, with Sydney Agudong (On My Block) playing her older sister Nani. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) will be the voice of Jumba, Billy Magnussen (Game Night) as Pleakley, and Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso) is in there too as a yet-to-be announced character, but you can probably place a safe bet on her being the Grand Councilwoman.With the film due out in less than a year, I'm sure a full trailer won't be too far away, but in the meantime Disney is looking to make a whole bunch of money this holiday season with Moana 2, which is out this week.
