Before we start I just want to share a few things with you all.

Last year, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Madrid to record a course for DOMESTIKA. I'm thrilled (and a bit nervous!) to announce that it will be released on November 21st. I can't wait to share it with you. Look out for an upcoming email with more details, as well as exclusive Black Friday deals. Make sure to watch your inbox for this special update!

I’ll also be giving away two 100% discount codes on my X and Instagram accounts so keep an eye on those too.

Tooll3: Free Real Time Node Based Motion Graphics Tool

Tooll3 is an open-source software used to create real-time motion graphics. It is designed to provide a balance between real-time rendering and graph-based procedural motion design. Tooll3 is commonly used in the demoscene, a subculture focused on creating computer-based audiovisual presentations. It is known for its cross-platform compatibility and has been used to create various demos.

It’s not new but I think it should be noticed.

AI Corner

In a recent Microsoft Ignite event, we witnessed a groundbreaking moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), marking a significant leap towards a future where AI is seamlessly integrated into every aspect of our daily lives and work. The spotlight was on the transformative capabilities of generative AI and advanced language models like GPT-3 and GPT-4, which are redefining the limits of technology. The introduction of Microsoft Copilot stands out as a game-changer, revolutionizing productivity and collaboration across diverse industries. This event also showcased the strides Microsoft is making in AI infrastructure, with significant partnerships, notably with NVIDIA, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. The integration of AI in mixed reality and its potential applications in quantum computing further underline the immense possibilities AI holds, not just as a technological tool, but as a force for inclusive and significant societal impact, particularly for individuals with disabilities. This convergence of AI with everyday life signals a new era of innovation, one that we are just beginning to explore.

Stable Diffusion Benchmarks

In the realm of AI image generation, the performance of GPUs is crucial. A recent comprehensive analysis of 45 GPUs from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel reveals intriguing insights when running Stable Diffusion, a popular AI image generator. The study underscores Nvidia's general dominance in performance, though it's noted that overall GPU efficiency scales proportionally with theoretical compute power. Key considerations include the impact of different Stable Diffusion versions on output quality and the necessity of more VRAM for higher resolution images, with practical benchmarks provided for 512x512 and 768x768 resolutions. This analysis not only highlights the current state of GPU performance in AI-driven tasks but also serves as a guide for optimizing Stable Diffusion's performance across various hardware configurations.
