• NVDIA DLSS 5: Game Changer or SLOP?

    Matt Workman, creative technologist at fal, joins us to break down H3 Max, the model that makes 15 second AI videos in 5 seconds, and fal.live, a livestream where viewers prompt what happens next in real time. We get into how DLSS 5 actually works before its release with NBA 2K27, why the leaked GTA footage looked wrong, and the new wave of world models from Runway and World Labs that turn a photo into an explorable 3D space. Then Matt gives an inside view of what major studios are quietly doing with AI, how directors use it, and why it is getting hard to get hired without it.

  • Someone At Marvel Thinks We’re All Stupid

    Avengers: Endgame is officially the highest-grossing movie of all-time again after its Encore re-release, meant to bridge the gap between the 2019 crossover film and the MCU’s next big crossover, Avengers: Doomsday, helped it pass Avatar. I don’t begrudge anyone going to see Encore in order to get another big-screen experience of a movie that, upon its original release, really felt like a cultural moment of the kind that Marvel has failed to create again in the years since. What bothers me is that the new scenes Marvel added to the film as part of the re-release to try to salvage a strung-together stumble into its next big event are almost patronizing, amounting to nothing more than a bald-faced ass pull. Encore is Marvel asking fans to pay to watch the company try to pretend it’s a narrative mastermind that’s been planning this all along, when it’s actually rewriting history in ways it never planned to in 2019.

    Encore, much like the entire output of the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the last few years, is essentially a patch job. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige would like you to believe that the last time the company led up to a big crossover event, specifically Thanos wipi...

  • Irish Game Fund expands with additional funding pathways

    Developers in the region will now be able to take advantage of a Development Fund, Prototype Fund, and Release Fund.

    The Irish Games Fund has been expanded and relaunched by the Irish Game Makers Association and Screen Ireland Digital Games Portfolio for 2026 and will now consist of three separate funding strands designed to support developers at different stages of the production cycle: the Development Fund, Prototype Fund, and Release Fund.

    The first of those three strands to break cover is the Development Fund, which is offering €50,000 to four teams looking to push on with production after validating their concepts and prototypes.

  • New 3D software you may have missed: 4 October 2026

    The background of a video clip removed using Alpha Gen, the experimental new alpha matte-generation component of VFX production-focused AI world model LTX-2.5.

    While CG Channel tries to write about the major new versions of CG software released each week, sometimes there are smaller updates or useful plugins that we don’t manage to cover.

    Rather then letting those releases slip past unnoticed, we’ve put together a round-up of updates to VFX, visualization and motion graphics tools that didn’t get full stories last week.
