Corridor Digital 3D-printed every frame in this amazing short film that you’re about to watch. It follows a simple narrative: a character wakes up, gets out of bed, and walks outside, only to encounter a surreal twist where his dog encounters a seemingly evil robot vacuum.
MetaBallStudios is back at it again, and this time, they’ve created a 3D monster size comparison of the fictional variety. Starting things off, we have the 164-foot-tall Godzilla from the 1954 film of the same name standing near France’s Eiffel Tower, which is a whopping 984-feet-tall.
You’ve seen how mechas stack up against each other, now check out the world’s most destructive explosions. Metal Ball Studios came across several videos showing these explosions, so the team decided to visualize various scenarios in 3D.
Netflix’s Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is set to premier on October 10, and the story follows right after the events of the Survivor Trilogy of video games: Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
There’s Unreal Engine’s MetaHuman, and then Wonder Studio, an AI-powered tool that lets you create CGI characters with just a few clicks, without requiring 3D software or production hardware like motion capture suits. After shooting the footage, Wonder Studio’s AI automatically animates, lights and composes the CG character directly into the scene.

Brazilian Hidrely Diao has always been fascinated with artificial intelligence and just what it can do with deepfakes. What better way to make use of it than on cartoon characters to see just how they would actually look like as humans. Some of these characters would not look out of place in live-action remakes of famous animated features or cartoon series. First up, we have Tinkerbell from Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid’s Prince Eric.
Visual effects designer Clinton Jones wanted to see just how talented some of the best 3D artists are. So, he decided to hold a Alternate Realities CG challenge where 2,400-entries were received. No textures were provided, just a simple animated scene of what appears to be someone lugging a heavy object. The results ranged from science fiction-inspired scenes to a bar of soap walking across a bathroom.
In Ragnrok, Thor returns to Asgard to find Heimdall gone and his estranged brother Loki posing as Odin, who is then forced to help him find their father, and with directions from Stephen Strange at the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York City, they locate Odin in Norway. What could the movie have been like if the main characters used lightsabers instead of a hammer and other weapons? Read more to see exactly this, thanks to ImmersionVFX.
Pixar movies typically begin with a Pixar short film, like Bao with Incredibles 2, Lou with Cars 3, Piper with Finding Dory, and so forth, but for Onward, we’re getting one from The Simpsons universe. That’s right, since the The Walt Disney Company acquired Fox properties, they’re going to screen “Playdate with Destiny” before Onward, starring Maggie Simpson.
