A simulation of deep-fried donuts in Blender 🍩 It appears we have a new Blender donut master in town. Digital artist Shimu Machinima crafted this stunning simulation of deep-fried donuts using the open-source toolkit. The artist utilized Geometry Nodes to simulate bubbles.

Gurlaldeep shows how to set up a simulation in Blender for a peeling effect. The effect is done by creating a spiral as a 'cutter' object first, which is applied as a boolean to the jacket of the potato. This peel is now animated using an animated weight map on a cloth modifier.

🤯 What Was Once Sci-Fi is Now Reality! ⚠️ WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT: Don't play until the end to avoid graphic content from The Running Man film. This is SPARK, a brand-new AI model that can create 3D face reconstructions from multiple, unconstrained portrait videos and enable real-time tracking on unseen footage. It’s the result of a collaboration between Technicolor, Inria, and the Max Planck Institute. SPARK allows the creation of a relightable face avatar from multiple monocular videos—bringing sci-fi-like technology into the real world. What makes SPARK truly special is its precise face tracking, which can be used for face editing and visual effects IN REAL-TIME! Tasks that would typically require manual 3D modeling or complex scanning sessions of actors can now be automated! 🔝 This technology opens up endless possibilities in professional fields like FX, virtual production, 3D modeling, and gaming, but is not exempt of many ethical concerns. 🚩 This time, the potential for misuse, especially in altering real-time footage for fake news and deep fakes, is completely real in the wrong hands. ⚠️ As a fan of sci-fi and dystopian films, many of them have warned us about its risks. I specially remember "The Running Man", where they faked the death of Ben Richards by overlaying his face in real time with what the called "Digital Matte Tracking" 📌 Link to the model paper and samples in comments!
