Houdini pours a cup of Joe, Google AI gives you the world, and Meshblend for Unreal smooths thinks out.

This week Tore Lervik's highly anticipated MeshBlend plugin for Unreal Engine has finally launched, bringing seamless mesh blending capabilities that we've been drooling over for months. Google just dropped Genie 3, their latest AI tool that can generate entire interactive 3D worlds from simple text prompts.

Houdini 21's sneak peek is breaking the internet with its new Material Point Method solver that creates the most realistic liquid simulations we've ever seen, complete with debris emission and UV preservation that'll make your jaw drop. We're also covering Control Groups a new tool for After Effects from aescripts + aeplugins, updates on European industry trends, AI job hunting tools, the announcement of Open PBR Volume, and some incredible work from studios like Buck, Filmograph, and Frame.
