I love seeing progress made in USD ecosystem with unifying all DCCs and render engines. There are still enough issues which makes it hard to build 100% interchangeable workflow. One of the issues is a not 100% standardized lighting. This is a cool talk going deep on this subject.

I love watching @penpot.app grow and improve. Such a cool project on par with Blender. I hope it succeeds in a big way!

The biggest thing is that it fosters user agency when other tools try to rob you of it as much as possible. Good job Penpot team!

Loved the talk. Sometime "hacky" way is the only one to get what you need in a shot.

Love the recipes functionality SideFX introduced in Houdini 20.5. It proved to be very useful. You don't need to rely on HDAs for some additional functionality anymore or legacy presets system. It's way easier now to extend existing nodes with recipes. Such a time saver!

Yeah, it's a good principle to live by as a professional creative.
I changed the way I work a couple of months ago to follow this advice, it made a big difference and my productivity went up by miles.

Repost (via Matt Tillman on LinkedIn): Converting the Graswald asset library to USD and MaterialX for loading into Houdini's asset browser. Shout out to Graswald for not only making such a great library of assets but also making them available for free.
