50 years ago, Martin Newell used only 3 bezier curves (32) to create a perfect, smooth 3D model of a teapot. rendered with only 4060 tris.
After half a century, Autodesk unveils the Shitpot®. The non-manifold Shitpot with a polycount so high you can't see the fucking thing
Autodesk Research Project Bernini is new experimental generative AI that can quickly generate multiple functional 3D shapes from a variety of inputs including text, 2D images, or voxels.
Watch for future updates as we continue to develop cutting-edge AI: .
So... I managed to find both the skull and the hands from the Skull Trumpet GIF. They seem to be made around 1997. There is no author listed unfortunately.
I have compiled all of the original models, and converted .obj files for you to do whatever.

[1/🍔] A THREAD ON RESTORING "FOUR-BYTE BURGER"
For the past week, I decided it would be a cool project to digitally recreate Four-Byte Burger as accurate as I possibly can. Pixel Perfect.
"Hasn't this been done before?" Yes. Although Ahoy's video was really well made [...]
i found the original trumpet model from the skull trumpet gif. It was made around 1999 for Lightwave 3D by an artist from the Netherlands named "Oostveen".
"but the mesh looks fine afterwards!!"
If you're an astute modeller, you can notice the ngons around certain stress points that indicates they lazily hit the remesh button on Quad Remesher.
They know their product is shit and tried to save face by using an auto remesher.
Run. Think. Shoot. Hear.
All of Half-Life's sound effects and dialogue—including its expansions—fully remastered to 24/44.1kHz. Now available for download.
Waiting until people find out hideki wasn't referencing charlie chaplin but is actually talking about an actual 16 year old that seems proud to pray on "autistic vulnerable men"
[2/🍔] he had made a few decisions that compromised his recreation, such as not correcting the distortions present in the original image and downsampling the image to the Amiga's internal resolution. This severely distorts the image and loses a lot of information
[11/🍔] But you can sure as hell make one delicious recreation. If you want a lossless version of the burger, you can find it here:
Thank you for reading my thread about a hamburger. and Thank you Jack Haeger for making me look at one for 1 week straight.
[3/🍔] My methods to correct the distortion was to draw lines in the center of each scanline, and then warp the lines and the hamburger to stay completely vertical. Pictures is the lines isolated, and superimposed on the burger.
[4/🍔] After correcting the image, I compensated the NTSC pixel aspect ratio from 1.2 to 1, so pixels are perfectly square, I also applied a horizontal blur so that the scanlines were eliminated and you could see the pixels perfectly.
[7/🍔] While we can use Haeger's surviving digital files to analyse his color palettes, there are indications that none of Haeger's work uses the same color palette, save for colors like pure red.
To me, Ahoy's rendition is too bright and saturated (Original, Mine, Ahoy's)
[6/🍔] Let's talk 🟨Colors🟥:
It is very unfortunate, but since the original image is an analog photograph of a CRT screen, copied, printed and then scanned, the colors will NOT be exact and will be distorted. All is that is left is to use our artistic eye to our best ability.
[5/🍔] From there I opened Aseprite and started work. It was obvious that I had to correct the picture once more as I noticed pixels slightly drifting away. But once that was taken care of, all I had to do was match every. single. pixel.
As much as people dismiss this as a non issue, I think it paints an important panorama of how the advent of powerful GPUs and tessellation algos shifted how young developers see model optimization as secondary, often with not as great implications that comes with reliance in them
[8/🍔] A very unfortunate side effect of the image being photographed, is that Haeger's very delicate dither work was very likely affected by blur. Pictured are some of his work, unblurred and blurred.
[9/🍔] This means that this is the only time I have to break from the "pixel-by-pixel" method, and apply some creative liberties. From there I used a program called Shaderglass to do a real-time blur on the preview, allowing me to judge dithered tones much better
[10/🍔] After finishing this piece, I had some conclusions to make. Perhaps it is impossible to make a completely accurate recreation of this art. The amount of distortion that were created has erased all of the delicate dither and color work by Haeger. [...]

I've also tracked down Michaelsoft Binbows itself, it is with a heavy heart that I've come to announce that, Michaelsoft Binbows, is dead, it's gone. (located here: 群馬県前橋市小相木町)

[1/📻] After seeing many interpretations, I decided to do my take on restoring the lost "Everyone Knows That"/"Ulterior Motives" song.
Unfortunately, this is an unfinished version. I wanted to further refine my work, but my computer stopped booting up completely. [...]

Actually, that's exactly how Japanese people pronounce the English word, "Wife", it's ワイフ (waifu). It's actually used there with mostly specific, informal English cases. Honestly, I don't see any wrong with it and Japanese people are fine with others using it.
As seen on Nintendo's Indie World presentation...
ANTONBLAST is crash landing onto Nintendo Switch on November 12th. 💥
🔨 Blast massive levels!
🫗 Steal your Spirits from Satan!
⏰ Escape for Happy Hour!
The Dynamite Demo will be available to download today on Nintendo eShop.
For the record, this is not me accusing as a villain or cancelling the 16 year old, this is merely me showing proof that it is very likely the "girlfriend" Hideki is talking here might be this 16 year old
I'm so fucking sick of Nintendo, I saw a video on how to unlock Luigi on Super Mario 64 and it didn't FUCKING WORK, if they wanna deny my favorite character, fine, then look what a Luigi fan can do with their third arm :)
It has been discovered recently that an early Mother 2 guidebook is floating around the internet. In it there is a cut fifth party member. It's not exactly known where he would show up, and in a interview, Mr. Itoi said: "I don't remember adding a fifth party member to my game."

Yeah I meant to say pole but twitter paywalls editing tweets and it's too late now lol
But what I meant is that these poles are very characteristic of the Quad Remesher plugin, which is very dishonest from Autodesk, considering the raw object's topology is horrendous.
This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. I just saw a really cool bug outside. Come outside and watch if you'd like, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during the presentation.
