Glaze 2.2 is out.
It is an update for Windows users to support recent NVidia GPUs (including 50xx GPUs).
Downloads at: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu
Mac users do not need to update.
We are also updating Nightshade to fix the True bug and also support new GPUs. That update is coming in the next few days.
We're testing an updated release of Glaze for NVidia 50xx GPUs. If you have one of those chips, and want to help us test out the new binary, add a comment below. We just need a few volunteers to make sure the new binary works as planned. Thx.
Another favor to ask on a research project. We're wrapping up a large project on AI music. We need folks to participate in a short 10 min quiz to test your ability to distinguish between AI music & human music. Especially looking for help from musicians!

A screen shot of TrueRef Flow, a timed gesture practice tool. It features a woman standing straight, with one hand up in a mage like gesture.
A screenshot of TrueRef Pose, a free pose library. It features several images of an athletic woman poses in a variety of different ways.
I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io.
While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍

OpenAI, one of the most prominent AI companies in the world, just released a model trained BLATANTLY on stolen IP.
It's obvious that rights are being violated, and it's also obvious that existing enforcement is not preventing these violations: they press onward.
The EU must enforce its rules
*produces massive pin*
There have been very few rights afforded to workers that have been granted without struggle.
When new technology is developed, some companies try pretending that existing legislation does not apply to that technology, to gain advantage.
So we must always be vigilant and fight for what is right.
It is not a job for artists to ensure that AI companies can exist.
They must fight to exist playing by the same rules as everyone else.
Company innovation can happen on many fronts, be it technological, legislative or licensing.
But if a business is built on theft, there is no saving it.
We asked for changes to Italy's AI bill, in defense of creatives.
Explicit consent to use artworks.
Data transparency.
Clear boundaries for scientific research exception.
No more AI vexatory clauses in contracts.
Proportionate sanctions.

US friends, there's a short deadline on this request for public comment. Literally TODAY!
If you have a moment to write, PLEASE DO.
They want to "prevent unnecessarily burdensome requirements from hindering private sector innovation".
The implication here is removing Copyright protections.

To every politician/legislator worldwide deciding to give Big Tech and GenAi companies legislative wins, you are siding with thieves who are being exposed in the courts. Also training from ill gotten sources is standard operation of all GenAi
Dont bet your careers on thieves. It’s not worth it.
Labour in the UK wants to allow corporations to profit without paying creators for their labour.
This is anti worker, and makes it harder for the UK to trade and license copyrighted work with neighbours.
Copyright requires countries to respect eachothers copyright.
2025 is going to be a BIG year in the Opt-in vs. Opt-out debate for AI systems.
We at EGAIR are going to be fighting hard for the rights of creators to say NO or YES to AI training.
INFORMED and EXPLICIT consent is the name of the game.
Removing and scrubbing attribution and copyright info seems to be a common strategy for AI companies to avoid transparency and discovery of this act in their models.
Even supposedly "Open Source" orgs like EleutherAI did this when creating The Pile Books3, a collection of 197 000 pirated books.
Hello Bluesky! We are EGAIR, an organisation fighting for artists' rights and sensible AI regulation in the EU, focused on consent.
We're artist-run and have been doing this work since 2022, speaking with lawmakers both in member states and on the EU level.
Let's keep at it in the new year! 🎉
Also liked the flat version quite a lot, but think that probably speaks more about my execution
Gym leader Misty holding a pokéball
Saw a clip of misty from the pokemon origins series the other day and got inspired. I liked the more mature/gym leader look she had so tried to give her more of a swimmer build. Could maybe have pushed it a bit futher.
We have opened another play test for Abyssus this weekend! Everyone’s welcome to play! Sign up here!

But I probably need to setup a better workflow and automate some repetitive steps in blender first. Also ended up making my own material solution in unreal for a bit more control compared to the built-in material function.
I've been testing out baking vertex animation to textures. Even though its just a test mesh, the results feels pretty satisfying, and I can see the potential for dynamic element in a scene. Excited to maybe do more proper meshes some day.
Thank you!

And a quick texture pass, always feel like too much of the details get lost in the final result
Testing out some sculpting in blender again
Portrait of Frieren
Here's a fun Frieren piece i've been working on this week, wanted to try and see if sculpting in blender is a viable alterative yet, but most of the time have been spent on lighting and compositing. Need to become better at keeping focus on projects. Hope some of you like it anyway!
