Show HN: Seedance2 – Stop "prompt guessing" and start directing AI videoWe’ve all seen the viral AI video clips: stunning, surreal, but ultimately... random. As developers and creators, we noticed a frustrating pattern. Using current AI video tools feels like playing a slot machine. You put in a prompt, pull the lever, and hope the "AI gods" give you what you envisioned. If you need a specific camera movement or a consistent character, you're stuck in a loop of "regenerate and pray."We built Seedance2 because we believe the future of AI isn't just about generation—it’s about direction.The Story Behind the Workflow In traditional filmmaking, a director doesn't just give a vague description; they use storyboards, reference clips, and specific audio cues. We wanted to bring that level of precision to AI. Our goal was to create a "Control Studio" where every input serves a functional purpose in the creative pipeline.What makes this different? Instead of relying solely on text, Seedance2 introduces a Multi-Modal Timeline. This allows you to anchor your creative

Show HN: ArtCraft AI crafting engine, written in RustI've been a photons-on-glass filmmaker for over ten years, and I've been developing ArtCraft for myself, my friends, and my colleagues.All of my film school friends have a lot of ambition, but the production pyramid doesn't allow individual talent to shine easily. 10,000 students go to film school, yet only a handful get to helm projects they want with full autonomy - and almost never at the blockbuster budget levels that would afford the creative vision they want. There's a lot of nepotism, too.AI is the personal computer moment for film.

Morphing 3D-printed structures from flat to curved, in spaceUrbana, IL (SPX) Nov 13, 2025 Because it's costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student Ivan Wu and his advisor, Jeff Baur in The Grainger College of Engineering, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, developed a creative and efficient energy-saving method to morph 2D structures into curved 3D structures while in space. Wu said what others have done

Seabiscuit and "The money problem"Hello world!I'm not exactly sure the right way to approach this, I've never been much for doing things in an orthodox way, so I'll just be straightforward about it. I need to find an investor.I believe that I have all of the necessary ingredients to be successful at what I'm trying to accomplish, but I realize that I need others to believe in me to help me to achieve my potential; few people ever get there alone.I hear prominent figures say that they invest in the people more than the ideas and I wonder how true that is. Do you care more about me or my actual startup? In this case I think both are awesome, so maybe it's your lucky day (or mine).So, yes, I've got a startup. That's a lie, I've got two startups, but one is my baby. We'll get back to that later, for now I want to talk about who I am and why I am writing this.Maybe I suffer from the Dunning–Kruger effect, but I think I might be just the right mix of crazy, creative, and calculated to accomplish something fairly impressive.I
