Originally there was ComfyUI, comfortable with its niche and waaaaay ahead of its time. Now? Everyone's got a canvas. October 2024 saw an absolute deluge of node-based workflow tools hit the AI video scene. Flora, Freepik Spaces, Krea Nodes, ImagineArt Workflows, Runway Workflows – suddenly everyone had their own infinite canvas with nodes and pipelines. Erik Knobl   wrote a brilliant piece asking whether this new workflow is actually better. His answer? Yes, emphatically yes

In Part 1, I broke down which platforms are winning (and losing) the 3D AI race. Spoiler: nobody's really winning because the entire approach is broken. Today, let's talk about   the elephant in the render farm   that nobody wants to address: Your £30K hardware investment is gathering dust while you pay monthly fees to upload your work to someone else's cloud. And the software giants? They're either asleep at the wheel or actively making it worse. Let's fix this. THE 2012 WAR

Following my post on MASS DENIAL SYNDROME:  https://lnkd.in/e7zCftbT  and the 90% creative role displacement, several of you asked: "What should I actually do about it?" (Some others said they're now doing a night school course in plumbing...that wasn't my original intent) Fair question. Here's the practical answer for 3D artists, motion designers, and anyone in the creative 3D space. Everyone's obsessing over AI image generators and video tools, but where is the true 3D revo

Why this rebel is rebelling against AI slop–and how Red Rising is the perfect proving ground I’ve been in the trenches of media production for 15+ years, and since 2018, when Synthesia first whispered synthetic smiles and Adobe Neural Filters turned “impossible” into “one-click,” the way we work and tackle creative challenges has changed at an ever-accelerated pace. Yet every year the same sludge floods the feeds: AI-generated “content” that’s fast, cheap, and utterly soulles
