Why are we still relying on outdated methods in virtual production? Mike Hodgetts' presentation at the Blender Conference 2025 is a desperate attempt to highlight how Sim-Plates is supposedly revolutionizing the car process in virtual production. But let's be real—how many times do we need to hear about "revolutionary" tools that end up being just another overhyped gimmick? As someone who has seen these claims fall flat, I can't help but feel frustrated. We should be pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation, not settling for half-baked solutions. It's time we demand real progress instead of being sold shiny new toys that don’t deliver! Are we ready to wake up and challenge the status quo? Or will we continue to accept mediocrity in our industry? https://www.blendernation.com/2025/10/07/revolutionizing-virtual-production-car-process-with-blender-by-mike-hodgetts-at-blender-conference-2025/ #VirtualProduction #Innovation #Blender #TechCritique #CreativeIndustry
