I finally made it out to see #alienromulus last night having worked on it earlier this year. I bloody loved it. As a vfx artist I loved the practical and cgi mix side by side. Proud to have had a hand in lots of bits for the final 20 minutes including that last jump scare 😱

fuck this future right off, what a joke.
Excited to introduce the world’s first AI interviewer, gpt-vetting.
With gpt-vetting, you can interview 100x more candidates in less time & candidates get a more enjoyable, gamified, and less biased interview experience.
You define the skills you want the interview to focus on, gpt-vetting asks verbal questions, and then jumps into a coding exercise. You then review the report that includes an AI assessment of each tech stack, and a trust score.
In its beta, gpt-vetting has already conducted 13,000 AI interviews, saving ~10k hours for software engineers who would otherwise be conducting technical interviews.

fun fact - I had the pleasure of adding cg window destruction to the middle and upper floors, timed to match the practical debris cannons. Still the best shot I've been lucky enough to contribute to in 20+ years. Heaths Joker is the best Joker

I finally got around to cutting a reel of my shot work from my 2 years working on Avatar: The Way of Water. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=f4-XtZnj…
The most fun tech art on the net

Dayum, super stoked on this!😁Visuals need some love but it's very statisfying already.
Splashes are generated based on the velocity at points all around the boat & are further injected into a foam diffusion system once intersecting with the water

As part of Weta special projects, working with Epic, it was fun to help on this demo to show off #UEFN. I mainly contributed some rigid body destruction sims, juiced up big time by @mradfo21 with extra FX. It was wild seeing this thing come together! youtube.com/watch?v=N8-QidyL…
I'm incredibly proud to have played a part in #AvatarTheWayOfWater , as part of the water vfx team. Everyone gave it there all and it showed.
