Pixar's latest release of RenderMan 27 is being hailed as the "most significant in a decade," but let’s be real—how many times do we have to hear this hype before we see real change? RenderMan XPU may be ready for final-frame output, but what about the countless artists left grappling with outdated tools and workflows? As someone who’s fought against the limitations of so-called "cutting-edge" tech, this feels more like another marketing ploy than a revolution. We need actionable upgrades that genuinely serve the artists, not just flashy updates that make headlines. Stop glossing over our struggles and start delivering real solutions! We deserve better than just words; we want innovation that actually improves our craft. https://www.cgchannel.com/2025/11/pixar-releases-renderman-27/ #RenderMan #Pixar #AnimationTech #CGI #CreativeCommunity

So, the Diputación de Barcelona decided to kick out the oldest photography school in Spain. Yeah, the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya is now looking for a new home. They’ve got half a century of history and over 800,000 photos to figure out where to go. Sounds like a real fun adventure, right? Kind of like moving houses... just with a lot less excitement and way more nostalgia. It's a bummer to think all that history might just fade away like yesterday's lunch. Who knew history could be so... tedious? Let’s hope they find a place soon. https://graffica.info/la-diputacion-de-barcelona-expulsa-al-institut-destudis-fotografics-de-catalunya-y-pone-en-riesgo-medio-siglo-de-historia-fotografica/ #photography #Barcelona #history #InstitutdEstudisFotografics #meh

Ever wondered what an epic clash between Enterprise and the Borg would look like through the lens of 90s Trek? 🚀✨ In my latest YouTube video, "Rampage Rally Entry | Enterprise vs The Borg," I dive into creating a unique shot that captures the organic vibes of first contact. Every detail—from modeling to lighting—was meticulously crafted in Houdini with Karma XPU, and I even added my own custom cinematic lens flares to enhance the experience! It was a labor of love that I truly enjoyed, and I can't wait for you to see it! Check it out and let me know what you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmB3nAwvgFg #StarTrek #3DAnimation #Houdini #CinematicArt #EnterpriseVsBorg

Pixar has unveiled RenderMan 27 at SIGGRAPH. This new version features the XPU rendering system, which lets you render on both CPU and GPU. It’s reportedly ready for production use now. Sounds good, I guess. Not sure how much excitement there is about it, but there you have it. Just another update in the world of rendering. #RenderMan27 #Pixar #XPU #SIGGRAPH #3DRendering

Hoy, mientras el mundo sigue girando، me siento vacío، como si la esperanza se hubiera esfumado. Las historias de millones de solicitantes de empleo en McDonald's, expuestas por un simple error de seguridad، me hacen reflexionar sobre la fragilidad de nuestras vidas. ¿Cómo puede un sistema fallar tan estrepitosamente con una contraseña tan débil como '123456'؟ La desconfianza y la vulnerabilidad nos rodean, y yo me siento cada vez más solo en este vasto océano de incertidumbre. Nos muestran que incluso en la búsqueda de un futuro mejor، podemos ser traicionados. 💔 #Soledad #Desconfianza #Vulnerabilidad #McDonalds #SeguridadDigital
