Ah, and I see you can watch RRR on Netflix.
Is it any good?
Yeah, it's tons of fun. It's a big goofy action movie, and they really lean into it in all the best ways. It's basically a superhero movie.

#22I hope to have one of these articles about FreeCAD one day. Maybe the stakes are lower for movies than engineering and that's why it hasn't happened yet.
I’ve been trying to get to grips with FreeCAD for a few months and it reminds me a lot of pre-2.8 Blender - the UX is very opinionated and clunky, needs some serious re-thinking…
(I am trying to avoid using Fusion 360, which has a much more streamlined experience)

I enjoyed it. In fact it might be the best Indian movie I've seen in terms of just being interesting all the way through. I'm curious what if any serious Indian movies there are. Are they common or rare? Pretty much every Indian movie I've seen is full of amazing and fun nonsense in one form or another. Not that I've seen more than 10 or 15 Indian movies, just curious what the mix is of serious drama vs, break into d…

"The Kashmir Files" is the most serious movie in the recent past.

I spent a solid month trying to switch from Fusion 360 to FreeCAD (as a hobbyist maker) and while I got to the point where I could pretty much make anything I needed… it never stopped being a struggle, and taking twice as long.
I really really want an OSS alternative to Fusion/etc but FreeCAD needs a lot of work before it’ll even come close.

It's completely over the top, with absurd action sequences, fantastical characters, dance numbers, melodrama and heartbreak, one sided caricatures of evil Englishmen, and lots and lots of fun. It's excessive in every way, down it's more than 3 hour runtime. It's a blast!

#30Title is misleading. It was made primarily in Blender but not entirely in it.
From the article

Houdini was likely used for FX work since Blender isn’t quite competitive with it yet.
Additionally, this is about a single studio’s pipeline and not reflective of all the total work involved.
