Houdini 21's KineFX mixer, a game-changing AI image editor from Google, and new Blender color tools.
This week's Motion Mondays is packed with updates that may change how you work. Houdini 21 just launched with a complete overhaul of its animation tools, including the new KineFX motion mixer that lets you blend character animations like a DJ mixing tracks. Google dropped something called Nano Banana that brings incredible character consistency to AI image editing that we put to the test! Blender 5.0 is getting built-in ACES 2.0 support, which means professional color management without the headache of custom configs.
We're also covering Krea's real-time video generation that actually works at 12+ frames per second, Clay 4.Doh's major update that makes Blender clay textures ridiculously easy, and some stellar work from studios like Two Fresh and Vucko. Plus we've got free tools for tileable textures and damage effects in Blender, LottieFiles' new raster-to-vector converter, and updates from Reallusion's Character Creator 5.
