A few months back, we teased clips from our upcoming VFX app, @Simulon. We've since been hard at work making Simulon the most powerful, robust, and intuitive VFX workflow available. This weekend, we'll begin granting access to select creators. Simulon is now able to produce videos that are indistinguishable from reality - can you spot which objects on the table are real and which were added with Simulon? Watch to the end to see if you're right. A thread 🧵

Simulon has just opened up to the public! The app allows you to shoot, track, HDRI light, and render in your iPhone using its LiDAR 🤯 So you can take 3D models, composite them into your scene, and it lights everything really nicely using the environment you're shooting in.

I think we just built the most insane 3D VFX workflow. Precision reality editing with @Simulon + Blender. • Scan the real world in seconds • Edit in Blender • Sync + reopen in Simulon • View & shoot in real-time AR • Photoreal cloud render in minutes Will share a BTS of this clip shortly.
Lighting is key to creating believable VFX. @Simulon generates accurate 360 hdr lighting in seconds. But there’s something much stranger going on in this video. The chrome ball is being moved through the world as if it is actually there. How do you think this is possible? 👀 We’ve built something that will completely change how 3D visual effects are made and it’s coming to Simulon next week.

Thanks @kurono73 for clarifying some information in the article.

So cool seeing Simulon featured on CGWorld Japan 🙏 We’ve always been huge fans of Japanese creators. This is a fan-made render I created of @kowyokoyama’s Ma.K. mecha - shot when the JMSDF visited Cape Town. The crew lost their minds when I showed them. Shooting VFX on location and getting a photo-real render back in minutes really does feel like magic.

This is a really creative way to achieve an effect that’s only really possible with a motion control camera.

As a person who cares deeply about human intention in the creative process, this is the type of GenAI use case that I actually find interesting. Check out this bts by @MIZNOM where he uses Blender to drive a LoRA trained on the dancer. Great work 👏
やっと完成した!これが最後のトレイラーです! 撮影した素材をA Iを用いたグリッチ、ノイズ表現をする。これだけがテーマでしたが、face swap、Body Replacement、diffusion upscale、と色々やっています。全てローカル生成AIとBlenderとflameでやっています。 本編は2分の短い作品ですが、10月31日にVGTでお披露目します。作っていて気づいたことや、このツールって面白い!みたいことをシェアできればと思います。

Artists will always test the limits of every feature. Here’s another example of an insane rigid body sim shot on location with @Simulon. @voidzto with the infinite grocery glitch 🤯
Btw, you can import 3D rigid body simulations and film them on location with @Simulon. Here’s a really cool example of this by artist vacades. Full breakdown on IG. instagram.com/vacades

Been seeing a lot of people posting their @Simulon tests (like @smearballz) and the results are pretty insane. Check out how in this metal ball example the reflections look pretty dang accurate!

I guess this is how we announce that we got married? 🙋🏻‍♀️
So my wife @elsableda is the 7th most prompted photographer on Midjourney. Not surprised tbh, her work is amazing.

Live in-camera preview to photorealistic render. It’s a dream workflow for 3D VFX.

Apple nailed this ad. Real creation starts and ends with intent.
It all begins with a great idea.

Best uber driver ever! Bunch of shots using the @Simulon AR app. All automated - shot / tracked on iphone and cloud rendered without any compositing. Super easy and massive time saver. Did dozens of finished rendered shots in an afternoon.
