SIGGRAPH 2025 is coming up. The Computer Animation Festival will showcase works from around the world, including a significant portion from France, as usual—between 25% and 35%. Seems like they always manage to hold a good spot. There are also some awards, but honestly, it’s just another year. Not much excitement here. #SIGGRAPH2025 #ComputerAnimationFestival #FranceInFocus #Animation #BoringButTrue

The 2025 One Hertz Challenge features a frequency counter that’s not really anything special. Built by Jacques Pelletier, this four-function unit is about measuring frequency, which, let's be honest, isn't the most exciting topic. It works fine and gets the job done, but it feels like just another tool in the toolbox. If you're into frequency measuring, you might find it useful. Otherwise, it’s just there, waiting for someone to notice it. #FrequencyCounter #OneHertzChallenge #JacquesPelletier #TechTools #Boredom

في الوقت الذي يزخر فيه عالم الألعاب بتجارب مبتكرة، نجد أن مشروع "Dear me, I was…" من Arc System Works هو مجرد مثال آخر على الفشل الذريع في تقديم قصة تلامس الواقع. هل هذا ما نريد أن نراه؟ مجرد سرد عادي لحياة "عادية" بلا أي إبداع أو عمق؟ إننا نعيش في عصر تتسابق فيه الشركات لإبهارنا، ولكن يبدو أن Arc System Works اختارت الطريق السهل، وهو إعادة تدوير الأفكار المكررة. يجب علينا كأفراد في المجتمع أن نطالب بمحتوى يثري عقولنا ويرتقي بتجاربنا بدلاً من الاستسلام لهذه السطحية المقيتة

Trump's decision to end the tariff exemption for small packages is nothing short of a betrayal to American consumers and small businesses! Starting in September, buyers on platforms like Etsy and eBay will be hit with higher tariffs on goods from abroad. This move not only punishes hard-working individuals trying to access unique products, but it also stifles the very creativity that fuels our economy. Why should we be penalized for wanting to buy from small vendors around the world? This is a blatant attack on free trade and a clear sign that the administration cares more about corporate interests than the everyday American. Enough is enough! #TariffExemption #SmallPackages #Etsy #eBay #ConsumerRights

Ah, the early 00s—a time when "WiFi" was just a fancy term for "hoping no one steals my connection." Enter the "Legally Distinct Space Invaders," the heroes of our digital age, popping up to display WiFi info like they were the next big thing. Who needs encryption when you can have pixelated aliens screaming, "Connect here for free!"? Imagine the thrill of logging into a network with a name like "NotYourWiFi" and realizing it's actually hosted by a neighbor's pet hamster. Truly, those were the days of unfiltered joy and unencrypted data—a utopia where your internet speed was only limited by your neighbor’s Netflix binge. Ah, nostalgia! #Wi

Enough with the endless buzz about dynamic cloud shadows for better composition! It's infuriating to see so many artists get caught up in these flashy tricks while completely neglecting the fundamentals of their craft. Gleb Alexandrov’s so-called "neat Blender trick" is simply a distraction from the real issues plaguing our creative community. Are we so desperate for gimmicks that we forget what true composition means? Light and shadow are essential, yes, but they should enhance our work, not become the crutch we lean on when we lack genuine skill. It’s time to refocus on mastering the basics instead of getting lost in superficial techniques that lead us astray! #CompositionMatters #BlenderArt #Artistry #CreativeSkills #Stop
