| Don't Wait for AI VFX to Get Easier | Fix It In Prompt Ep. 002 | 08 Jul 2026 | 01:02:52 | |
If you keep waiting six months for AI VFX to get easier, six months from now you may decide to wait another six months. This week on Fix It In Prompt, Alex Villabon and Doug Hogan talk about why artists need to jump in now, why open-source models and workhorse workflows matter for repeatable production, and why finishing one AI shot does not give you the same economies of scale as building a reusable CG asset. We get into Seedance 2.5, LTX-2.3, Krea 2 Raw, Blender MCP, model provenance, client restrictions, Google and A24, diffusion rendering, artist-owned micro-studios, and the value of finding the wins, saving them, and sharing them. 💬 What are the workhorse AI workflows you keep coming back to? Let us know in the comments.📬 CONTACT Email us: fixitinpromptpodcast@gmail.com Find Doug: ComfyUI & VFX website: https://www.doughogan.com ComfyUI Workflows: https://comfyui.sjv.io/OYydOG LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doughogan Find Alex: VFX + AI newsletter: https://alexvillabon.substack.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/avillabon/ 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN THE EPISODEP J Ace — Nexus workflow and film-financing update:https://x.com/PJaccetturo/status/2066582725553996059 PJ Ace — Nexus hybrid feature-film announcement and teaser:https://x.com/PJaccetturo/status/2062887190326304986 A.I.
