Great article from of on the drive towards interoperable #3d formats such as #USD and #glTF for the #metaverse. Covers a lot of ground and interviews a lot of different players in the space!

A second set of comparisons between #Vray 5 and 6. Again some minor differences in secondary light bounces. Smaller differences this time.

Comparing #VRay 5 (first image) vs 6 (second image) on some stock Evermotion scenes. There seems to be secondary bounce lighting differences. It is quite obvious on the heating pipes on the far right, V-Ray 6 is producing a bright spot on one of the pipes.
I wonder why?

It appears that all Mastodon links are now considered to be unsafe by Twitter and it also blocks you from posting new Mastodon links. Holly crap, war has been declared today on Mastodon by Twitter.

Wise words on #ChatGPT:

Let's update 's USD PreviewSurface material so that it is synchronized with the ratified Khronos Group #PBR Next extensions that are used by standard materials.
github.com/PixarAnimation.
Would simplify #3D content creation! Thoughts?

Mastodon follower count now up to 460, up from 125 just 13 days ago. Lots of engagements on my posts as well (+1000 likes, +1000 boosts/retweets) and no ads. It is great over there for computer nerds such as myself. You have to make an effort though. mastodon.gamedev.place/@BenHouston3D

On the other site, mastodon, I am now following 200 and have 125 followers. My interesting posts have decent engagement and discussions. It seems to have really taken off the last few days. I will keep investing in it.

Hey why doesnt Memorandum and TechMeme feature Mastodon discussion yet? So much of tech Twitter is over on Mastodon now and also journalists. Makes Memeorandum/TechMeme less useful.

Gonna log out and take a break for a week. Not definitely leaving, but the current vibe is not what I like about Twitter. I'll come back in a week and see what's up. I'm on Mastodon and I'll be posting my mentoring stuff there for now. See ya in a week!

As an experiment, this is the last tweet I’m tweeting this year. I’ll reevaluate based on state of platform next year. I’ll still be reachable via DMs.
During this time I will keep writing on cohost and tooting (??) on Mastodon:
