Raindance Film Festival has partnered with an Israeli AI firm, supposedly to create a fund for independent filmmakers. Raindance Immersive, an offshoot of RFF, has been showcasing #VRChat artists for the past several years. I'm not sure I can continue working with them. variety.com/2026/film/gl...

tl;dr: * Don't use crunch on avatars. * AssetBundle compression is good enough. * Use RG BC5 for normal maps, BC7 for diffuse/color. * If your avatar is still too big, reduce your texture resolution. * If lowering rez makes things fuzzy, re-approach implementation. Use decals or fix your UVs.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

One of those latecomers was a 46-year-old documentary filmmaker named Chad Knutson. On the morning after Good was killed, he was at home with his two hound dogs, watching a live feed from the Whipple Building, where ICE is based, a five-minute drive from his house. A protester had laid a rose on a makeshift memorial to Good. As Knutson watched, an ICE agent took the rose, put it in his lapel, and then mockingly gave it to a female ICE agent. They both laughed.

Knutson told me he had never been a protester. It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt. But when he saw those ICE agents laughing, something broke inside him.

“I grab my keys, I grab a coat, and drive over,” Knutson told me. “I barely park my car and I’m running out screaming and crying, ‘You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

Many of you are psyching yourself up to start that dream project in 2026. AWESOME Just keep in mind that devoting your free time to achieving your dreams is not the same as Hustle Culture. Keep your mind on you and your art and don't fall into the trap of thinking every minute should be monetized.
