There’s been no statements as to when Midjourney’s technology will start showing up in Meta’s products, or to what degree it will be baked into the company’s AI strategy.

Qwen-Image-Edit is the image editing version of Qwen-Image. It is further trained based on the 20B Qwen-Image model, successfully extending Qwen-Image’s unique text rendering capabilities to editing tasks, enabling precise text editing. In addition, Qwen-Image-Edit feeds the input image into both Qwen2.5-VL (for visual semantic control) and the VAE Encoder (for visual appearance control), thus achieving dual semantic and appearance editing capabilities.
PixiEditor is a universal 2D editor that was made to provide you with tools and features for all your 2D needs. Create beautiful sprites for your games, animations, edit images, create logos. All packed up in an intuitive and familiar interface.
The goal was ambitious: to generate a hyper-detailed 3DGS scan from a massive dataset—20,000 drone photos at full resolution (5280x3956px). All of this on a single machine with just one RTX 4090 GPU.
What was the problem? Most existing tools simply can’t handle this volume of data. For instance, Postshot, which is excellent for many tasks, confidently processed up to 7,000 photos but choked on 20,000—it ran for two days without even starting the model training. The Breakthrough Solution. The real discovery was the software from GreenValley International
Their approach is brilliant: instead of trying to swallow the entire dataset at once, the program intelligently divides it into smaller, manageable chunks, trains each one individually, and then seamlessly merges them into one giant, detailed scene. After 40 hours of rendering, we got this stunning 103 million splats PLY result:
Temporary Use: AI-generated material can be used for ideation, visualization, and exploration—but is currently considered temporary and not part of final deliverables.
Ownership & Rights: All outputs must be carefully reviewed to ensure rights, copyright, and usage are properly cleared before integrating into production.
Transparency: Productions are expected to document and disclose how generative AI is used.
Human Oversight: AI tools are meant to support creative teams, not replace them—final decision-making rests with human creators.
Security & Compliance: Any use of AI tools must align with Netflix’s security protocols and protect confidential production material.
Matrix-3D utilizes panoramic representation for wide-coverage omnidirectional explorable 3D world generation that combines conditional video generation and panoramic 3D reconstruction.
Large-Scale Scene Generation : Compared to existing scene generation approaches, Matrix-3D supports the generation of broader, more expansive scenes that allow for complete 360-degree free exploration.
High Controllability : Matrix-3D supports both text and image inputs, with customizable trajectories and infinite extensibility.
Strong Generalization Capability : Built upon self-developed 3D data and video model priors, Matrix-3D enables the generation of diverse and high-quality 3D scenes.
Speed-Quality Balance: Two types of panoramic 3D reconstruction methods are proposed to achieve rapid and detailed 3D reconstruction respectively.
“Not every light performs the same way. Lights and lighting are tricky to handle. You have to plan for every circumstance. But the good news is, lighting can be adjusted. Let’s look at different factors that affect lighting in every scene you shoot. “
Use CRI, Luminous Efficacy and color temperature controls to match your needs.
Color Temperature Color temperature describes the “color” of white light by a light source radiated by a perfect black body at a given temperature measured in degrees Kelvin
CRI “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. “
You’ve been in the VFX Industry for over a decade. Tell us about your journey.
It all started with my older brother giving me a Commodore64 personal computer as a gift back in the late 80′. I realised then I could create something directly from my imagination using this new digital media format. And, eventually, make a living in the process. That led me to start my professional career in 1990. From live TV to games to animation. All the way to live action VFX in the recent years.
I really never stopped to crave to create art since those early days. And I have been incredibly fortunate to work with really great talent along the way, which made my journey so much more effective.
What inspired you to pursue VFX as a career?
An incredible combination of opportunities, really. The opportunity to express myself as an artist and earn money in the process. The opportunity to learn about how the world around us works and how best solve problems. The opportunity to share my time with other talented people with similar passions. The opportunity to grow and adapt to new challenges. The opportunity to develop something that was never done before. A perfect storm of creativity that fed my continuous curiosity about life and genuinely drove my inspiration.
Tell us about the projects you’ve particularly enjoyed working on in your career
The primary goal of physically-based rendering (PBR) is to create a simulation that accurately reproduces the imaging process of electro-magnetic spectrum radiation incident to an observer. This simulation should be indistinguishable from reality for a similar observer.
Because a camera is not sensitive to incident light the same way than a human observer, the images it captures are transformed to be colorimetric. A project might require infrared imaging simulation, a portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum that is invisible to us. Radically different observers might image the same scene but the act of observing does not change the intrinsic properties of the objects being imaged. Consequently, the physical modelling of the virtual scene should be independent of the observer.
