For a long time, volumetric visual effects were viable only in high-end offline VFX workflows. Large data footprints and poor real-time rendering performance limited their use: most teams simply avoided volumetrics altogether. It’s similar to the early days of online video: limited computational power and low network bandwidth made video content hard to share or stream. Today, of course, we can’t imagine the internet without it, and we believe volumetrics are on a similar path.
With advanced data compression and real-time, GPU-driven decompression, anyone can now bring CGI-class visual effects into Unreal Engine.
From now on, it’s completely free for individual creators!
Many users assume shared conversations are only seen by friends or colleagues — but when you use OpenAI’s share feature, those chats get now indexed by search engines like Google.
Meaning: your “private” AI prompts could end up very public. This is called Google dorking — and it’s shockingly effective.
Over 70,000 chats are now publicly viewable. Some are harmless. Others? They might expose sensitive strategies, internal docs, product plans, even company secrets.
OpenAI currently does not block indexing. So if you’ve ever shared something thinking it’s “just a link” — it might now be searchable by anyone. You can even build a bot to crawl and analyze these.
Welcome to the new visibility layer of AI. I can’t say I am surprised…
The IPAdapter are very powerful models for image-to-image conditioning. The subject or even just the style of the reference image(s) can be easily transferred to a generation. Think of it as a 1-image lora. They are an effective and lightweight adapter to achieve image prompt capability for the pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models. An IP-Adapter with only 22M parameters can achieve comparable or even better performance to a fine-tuned image prompt model.
Once the IP-Adapter is trained, it can be directly reusable on custom models fine-tuned from the same base model.
The IP-Adapter is fully compatible with existing controllable tools, e.g., ControlNet and T2I-Adapter.
“The Color Rendering Index is a measurement of how faithfully a light source reveals the colors of whatever it illuminates, it describes the ability of a light source to reveal the color of an object, as compared to the color a natural light source would provide. The highest possible CRI is 100. A CRI of 100 generally refers to a perfect black body, like a tungsten light source or the sun. ”
