Karim Rehimi's 4DGS Project with GSOPs

This is a very interesting Gaussian Splat experiment! I have been testing Gaussians in Unreal for a while, and the results always fascinate me. Even though Gaussians feel like some sort of trick, I think there is a lot of potential in utilizing them in real-time workflows. There have already been examples of their use in feature film and tv but I'm sure more is coming. I definitely suggest keeping up to date with these tools and workflows.

R&D: HOUDINI TO UNREAL 4DGS PIPELINE Spent the last few weeks deep in PDG-land building a Houdini → Unreal pipeline for 4D Gaussian Splats. The whole training run happens inside Houdini — no tool switching. TOPs orchestrates the rendering, image conversion, and training in one go, with synchronized timelines across the stages. Color-baking is in custom VEX, the Python glue is vibe-coded — no COLMAP, no detours. GSOPs (David Rhodes) and LichtFeld Studio (Janusch Patas) do the heavy lifting; SplatRenderer brings the result into UE. Full write-up + free HIP file (MIT) at https://lnkd.in/eUDbCN6K. Released as R&D code — break it, fork it, learn from it. #Houdini #UnrealEngine #GaussianSplatting #VFX #PDG #TechArt #RnD

Bye-bye Houdini / Maya / 3ds Max / Cinema4d? Anthropic (Claude) has joined the Blender Development Fund as a patron to support the Blender project as they continue to develop their Python API, which makes integrations like this possible.

🦴🐐 Your Unreal modular control rig looks broken. Controllers are massive. Dynamics make the mesh vanish. Leg poles flip when you apply the leg module. 99% of the time, it's not Unreal. It's the FBX export from Blender. Arnout Meysman wrote up the workflow that gets it right the first time: ➡️ FBX settings that actually play nice with Modular Control Rig ➡️ The 100x scaling fix Blender → Unreal nobody documents properly ➡️ Axis config so leg pole vectors don't flip ➡️ The socket-parenting trap that silently breaks chain modules ➡️ A ready-to-drop Python preset for your Blender presets folder Blender 5.0.1 → Unreal 5.7. Tested on the Epic Control Rig Samples Pack. 🐐 Full write-up in the comments. GG! #GimbalGoats #Blender #UnrealEngine #ControlRig #Rigging #TechArt #GameDev #UE5 #Unreal

Very useful for any studios building their rigs in Blender and porting them into Unreal Engine. Save yourself a few hours and a headache!

Testing a new Maya tool I’ve been building for faster material setup. The idea is simple: select the texture maps, choose a preset, and let the tool create the shader network automatically — base colour, roughness, metalness, normal, displacement, and advanced node chains. Still refining it, but it is already making the boring part of material setup much quicker. Small tool, big time saver. >>>OneClickMaterial>>> There is also an Advanced Mode where you can overide them. #Maya #ArnoldRenderer #LookDev #Shading #3DArt #TechnicalArt #PipelineTools #GameArt #VFX #CGI #Python

I’ve been focusing on building small projects to sharpen my skills, and this one turned out to be more fun than expected. What started as a simple circle moving on the screen evolved into a fully playable 1v1 shooting arena. The most exciting part wasn’t just writing the code — it was watching the project grow step by step, solving problems, and improving the gameplay along the way. Built using Python (Turtle graphics), this project helped me better understand game loops, collision handling, and basic game mechanics. ���� Check out the gameplay in the video 🔗 Repo: https://lnkd.in/ggqescvu If you have any feedback or ideas, I’d love to hear them! #Python #GameDev #CodingJourney #LearningByDoing #OpenSource #SoftwareEngineering

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE REMASTERED! I recently developed a 2D action game using Python and the Pygame library, featuring Ethan Hunt as the main protagonist. The game includes five progressively challenging levels, where players navigate through obstacles and battle enemy robots in a fast-paced environment. Each level introduces increased difficulty, requiring better control, timing, and strategy. Ethan is equipped with a dynamic combat system: He can shoot in all directions, allowing flexible and responsive gameplay. After firing three bullets, he unlocks a guided missile that automatically detects and tracks enemies, adding a strategic edge to combat. The final level features an intense boss fight against Solomon Lane, who uses an activating shield mechanic, requiring players to carefully time their attacks and adapt their approach. This project helped me strengthen my skills in: Game development using Python (Pygame) Event handling and real-time input systems Collision detection and object interactions Designing engaging gameplay mechanics It was a great experience combining logic, creativity, and problem-solving to build an interactive game from scratch.

Built an interactive scouting report for a Masters top laner using the Riot Games API. 6 charts covering champion pool, gold diff at 10, KDA trends, and performance radar.  Fully interactive. 🔗https://lnkd.in/gxUxaTYt #Esports #DataAnalytics #LeagueOfLegends #RiotAPI #Python

Building a procedural house system in Houdini. (( This part focuses on interactive wall detailing )) The HDA can place windows, doors, and other architectural elements directly onto the building. It uses a Python Viewer State to detect which primitive the mouse is hovering over. #Houdini #SideFX #VFX #HDA #HoudiniDigitalAsset #TechArt #3D #Python #ProceduralModeling
