Texel Density measurement unit
Texel density (also referred to as pixel density or texture density) is a measurement unit used to make asset textures cohesive compared to each other throughout your entire world.
It’s measured in pixels per centimeter (ie: 2.56px/cm) or pixels per meter (ie: 256px/m).

Mohsen Tabasi – Stable Diffusion for Houdini through DreamStudio
https://github.com/proceduralit/StableDiffusion_Houdini
https://github.com/proceduralit/StableDiffusion_Houdini/wiki/
This is a Houdini HDA that submits the render output as the init_image and with getting help from PDG, enables artists to easily define variations on the Stable Diffusion parameters like Sampling Method, Steps, Prompt Strength, and Noise Strength.
Right now DreamStudio is the only public server that the HDA is supporting. So you need to have an account there and connect the HDA to your account.

Zibra VDB Compression – a new solution, bringing groundbreaking OpenVDB format to game development
Zibra VDB Compression is the newest ZibraAI solution, being developed to bring film-quality VFX into games with GPU-powered compressed VDB effects.
Born from a custom AI-based technology, it makes it possible to:
- Compress huge VFXs, created in different tools and stored in OpenVDB format, up to 20 times, and add more high-quality volumetric VFX to the game, filling it with lifelike visuals, all without increasing the build size;
- Render volumetric effects in game engines in real-time;
- Reuse a volumetric effect in multiple use cases, optimizing memory consumption;
- Change the way the effect looks in different parts of the project with shaders, regulating color, density, and playback speed, all according to your needs.
Our VDB compression solution also opens new possibilities for realistic scene lighting. With our tech, you can use light data from VFX to light up a scene, add reflections, etc, making your game much more immersive and true to life.
