NVIDIA Releases ‘Neuralangelo’ Open Source Code
The AI model transforms 2D video clips into detailed 3D structures for export and use in design applications across art, game dev, robotics, and digital twins.
NVIDIA has just released the open source code for Neuralangelo, a popular AI model from NVIDIA Research for generating 3D reconstructions. Neuralangelo turns 2D video clips into detailed 3D structures — generating lifelike virtual replicas of buildings, sculptures, and other real-world objects.

The NVIDIA blog “Digital Renaissance: NVIDIA Neuralangelo Research Reconstructs 3D Scenes” highlights the new AI model, comparing it to Michelangelo's ability to create lifelike visions from marble blocks. Neuralangelo generates 3D structures with intricate details and textures that can then be imported into design applications for use in art, video game development, robotics, and industrial digital twins.
Neuralangelo is one of nearly 30 projects presented last June by NVIDIA Research at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in Vancouver. The papers spanned topics including pose estimation, 3D reconstruction, and video generation.

Starring Kurt Russell, Wyatt Russell, and Anna Sawai, the upcoming live-action sci-fi series, based on Legendary’s ‘Monsterverse,’ pits the famed Gojira and Titans in all-new clashes, coming soon to the streamer. Apple TV+ unveiled first-look images and title of its highly anticipated Godzilla and Titans live-action original series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, based on Legendary’s Monsterverse. The show, starring Kurt Russell; Wyatt Russell; Anna Sawai; Kiersey Clemons; Ren Watabe; Mari Yamamoto; Anders Holm; Joe Tippett; and Elisa Lasowski, is set to stream later this year.

In the series, following the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters tracks two siblings who follow in their father’s footsteps to uncover their family’s connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later, where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga — spanning three generations — reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

Wētā FX Supercharges the Visuals in ‘The Rings of Power’
In its latest contribution to the prodigious ‘The Lord of the Rings’ franchise, Prime Video’s expansive series now nominated for 6 Emmy’s including Outstanding Special Visual Effects, pioneering visual effects company Wētā FX, led by VFX Supervisor Ken McGaugh, makes subterranean kingdoms pulse with life and creatures like Balrogs, Snow Trolls, and Wargs be the nastiest they can be. They were there at the beginning, way back in 2001, when The Fellowship of the Ring, the first of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films, hit the big screen. And now, more than 20 years later, New Zealand-based visual effects studio Wētā FX continues to bring its special brand of optical magic to the latest iteration of J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythical world, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Developed by J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay for Prime Video, The Rings of Power is based on both Tolkien’s beloved novel and its appendices. The series, set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, takes viewers back to the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history, an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose and fell, unlikely heroes were tested, and heinous villains threatened to cover the world in darkness. Ranging from the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, the epic drama, like so many of Wētā’s projects, offered many opportunities for the fabled studio to prove its mettle.

“Wētā’s involvement in the project was two-fold,” says VFX Supervisor Ken McGaugh. “Firstly, we provided most of the on-set support, and collaborated closely with the clients to build a pipeline for managing the massive amounts of data acquired across the entire shoot. Then, for post-production, Wētā was tasked with some key environments, including the ancient subterranean kingdom Khazad-dûm, [the watchtower] Ostirith, the prologue battlefields, and [the far northern region of Middle-earth] Forodwaith.”

Edwin Rivera Shares the Ghostly VFX of ‘Haunted Mansion’
The production VFX supervisor on Disney’s horror-comedy marshalled the work of ILM, DNEG, and OPSIS, delivering nearly 2,000 shots including a range of ghosts and otherworldly action, all designed to be scary without sending little kids crying into theater lobbies.

llowing in the footsteps of The Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise Disneyland theme park rides adapted into cinematic spectacles, Haunted Mansion has made the jump to the big screen, turned by filmmaker Justin Simien into a horror comedy with a cast led by LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto. Despite the mandate to lean on practical effects, Simien’s use of digital augmentation was unavoidable in achieving the film’s necessary scope and spectral aesthetic; nearly 2,000 VFX shots were used, supervised by Edwin Rivera, produced by ILM, DNEG, and OPSIS. Rivera has a long, storied career as a VFX supervisor, including recent stints as production VFX supervisor on Uncharted, Joker, and 22 Jump Street.

Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light & Magic to Close in Singapore
Due to changes in the global entertainment industry, the studio known for ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars,’ which began as Lucasfilm Animation Singapore in 2004, will soon shutter its doors, eliminating over 300 jobs.
It’s the end of an era. Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) is set to close its doors in Singapore due to changes in the global entertainment industry, the studio confirms to AWN via Channel News Asia and Variety reports. The move will eliminate over 300 jobs.

The VFX and animation studio began as Lucasfilm Animation Singapore in 2004, with work on Star Wars: The Clone Wars beginning in 2006.

“Over the next several months, ILM will be consolidating its global footprint and winding down its Singapore studio due to economic factors affecting the industry,” Disney said in a statement.

ILM vows to notify employees as early as possible and will offer relocation opportunities to other studios, along with Singaporean efforts with local businesses to hold a job fair. Remaining ILM studios include Vancouver, (opened in 2012), London (2014), Syndey (2019), ad Mumbai (2022) in addition to the San Francisco headquarters.

The venerable company has proven it too is susceptible to recent industry changes including corporate media company mergers and layoffs, massive changes and spending cutbacks in the streaming world, as well as the current SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Unfortunately, the closure will lessen Singapore’s chances at becoming the leading Asian hub for entertainment, with India, China, and South Korea moving closer to the coveted spot.

However, the studio leaves a tremendous creative talent footprint built over close to two decades. “Throughout Lucasfilm’s tenure in Singapore, the company has developed world-class digital animation talent for the industry through knowledge and skills transfer. Our Singaporean talent have worked alongside and learned from experienced producers, enabling them to develop their skills and play on the world stage,” the Disney/Lucasfilm statement continued.

The video, captured prior to the start of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, features Rudd, who stars as Nami, sharing personal stories and experiences of growing up as a fan of anime, manga, and other geek culture elements.

Luffy is a young adventurer who has longed for a life of freedom for as long as he can remember. Luffy sets off from his small village on a perilous journey to find the legendary fabled treasure, One Piece, to become King of the Pirates! But to find the ultimate prize, Luffy must assemble the crew he’s always wanted before finding a ship to sail, searching every inch of the vast blue seas, outpacing the Marines, and outwitting dangerous rivals at every turn.
