Day 1. The Gen Effect challenge starts now.
September 1st, so the challenge is live. One Gen Effect node every day this month, and I'm already deep in it. Quick reminder of what this node is: you describe an effect and get back a working node with full control. Sliders, values, whatever the effect needs. No coding required, though writing your prompt in JSON helps a lot. The best way I can explain it: imagine every tool in Photoshop/Premiere, except you build the exact one you need and combine them however you want. Here's the thing that surprised me on day one. The effect that's already earned a permanent spot in my workflow isn't visual at all. It's a purely practical one that just saves me time, every single day. I expected the flashy stuff to win me over first. Instead it was the boring, useful node. That tells you how wide this thing goes. Because that's the real point here. This node is diverse in a way that's easy to underestimate. Illustrators, photographers, retouchers, VFX, editors, anyone working creatively with image or video can pull something out of it. It can sit in the middle of a workflow or be the final step. It can be a wild visual effect or a tiny rotate tool. Non-destructive, so no quality loss, and you can chain and combine them endlessly. 📅 First batch drops in a week. It'll be a mix, from proper visual effects to the dead-practical stuff, for both stills and video. Preview below of what's coming. 👇 And the challenge is open. If there's an effect you'd actually use, drop it. I'll build the ones that come from this community with my own credits and time.

Small ask, big impact, let's help each other.
I need your help. If you want to support me and this community, a follow on @thatweavyguy on Instagram makes a real difference. More followers means more visibility, which means more creatives find The Weavy Way. It's a small thing that helps a lot. 🙏 We're all here because we build workflows and create visual work. But most of us have no idea what the rest of the community actually makes outside of this group. This weekend you've got some time (I hope) 🐣. Let's use it. Drop your website, portfolio, or socials below. Let's inspire each other and connect beyond Skool. I'll go first: → ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatWeavyGuy → 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatweavyguy → ▶️ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamyvodegel/ Now your turn — drop your links below. Let's discover what everyone's building and connect outside of here. 👇

Hello!
I’m a London-based creative director working in advertising, and I’m excited to join this community. I’m curious about what happens when AI meets a strong idea: how it can help us push a visual concept further, explore new art direction and tell stories in ways we couldn’t before. I’m particularly interested in food photography and the future of campaign imagery. Looking forward to seeing what you’re making, sharing a few experiments of my own and swapping ideas along the way 👾
Week 1 of the Gen Effect challenge. It's even more versatile than I thought.
First drop of the challenge. I'm building one Gen Effect node a day, and a week in I already have to correct myself on something I said at the start. I underestimated the range. These nodes go from dead practical to full VFX, and everything in between. On the practical end, I built a Pro Photo Retoucher. One node, drop an image in, cleaner result out, with a compare slider to check it. Boring on paper, but it earns its place every day. On the other end it gets wild. An Inception Fold that folds an image into itself, and the same node works on video, so your footage folds while it plays. A pose transfer where a stick figure drives the pose of a model. Metal emboss, stripe fills, iridescent crystal looks. Two favorites so far: the Inception Fold, because it treats video and stills the same way and that opens a lot of doors, and the stick figure pose transfer, because it's the clearest example of Gen Effect nodes working together instead of alone. And that's the real lesson from week one. These nodes rarely stand on their own. They get powerful when you layer them through a compositor and stack them. That's where it stops being a filter and starts being a workflow. 👇 Which of these would you actually use? And the challenge is still open, if you've got an effect you want built, drop it and I'll make it with my credits.
