Spent a bit more time in @Blender trying to do a product vis shot of the Samsung S27 Ultra in 4 colours with a better transition than the last one. Also tried adding a privacy display demo to the notification at the top, but it didn't quite work out as planned. Using the leaked One Ui 9.5 update screen seemed like a good idea at the time to make it more of a genuine concept reproduction but in hindsight, a standard Samsung wallpaper would've worked better. All fun and games. If you use #Blender or work on product vis - feel free to send me some tips. @OTOY's OCtane is also a LOT easier to use than Cycles, but maybe that's because I'm used to it.

Samsung, how about letting me take over the development of One UI 9.5? Your animation design seriously needs some fresh ideas. This might sound arrogant, but I genuinely believe Samsung still hasn't figured out what a proper unlock animation should look like. Even the effects in LockStar feel like animations that simply play on the home screen after unlocking. They lack real continuity. Today, I want to show Samsung what a true unlock animation should be. I've designed an entirely new unlock animation for One UI 9.5, creating a seamless, natural spatial transition between the lock screen and the home screen. Pay close attention to the icons. They fly in from beyond the edges of the display, each with its own trajectory and timing. Instead of appearing all at once, they arrive one by one from different directions, like a meteor shower raining down from outer space. By carefully controlling the timing, motion curves, and spatial depth, the entire home screen gradually comes together before your eyes. A truly great unlock animation should make you feel like you're traveling between two worlds, not just watching a bunch of icons move around. Samsung, THIS is what I want One UI 9.5 to look like.

BREAKING！A shocking new discovery about the iPhone Duo's foldable display! According to Weibo user Kang, the screen around the iPhone Duo's crease is surprisingly SOFT to the touch. When pressed with a finger, the surface can even develop visible WRINKLES! This is something we've never seen mentioned in previous reviews of foldable phones. Even more interesting, Kang claims this behavior is common across multiple units. Could this be related to Apple's rumored variable-thickness ultra-thin glass (UTG), with a thinner central folding region and thicker surrounding areas? If so, Apple may have adopted a radically different approach to managing stress around the fold. The engineering behind this display could be far more interesting than we initially thought.
