Screenshot of Google having been asked "is blender easy", responds by saying "Blender has a steep learning curve and is generally considered difficult for beginners due to its complex interface and vast" before suddenly breaking off mid sentence and spouting off an incredibly long sequence of numbers
.... I see.
Cloth sim is straightforward.
EVERYBODY STAY CALM! we have realtime area lights in godot, I REPEAT, AREA LIGHTS IN GODOT, this is not a drill 🚨 🗣️
Screenshot of Blender's "Playback" popover menu. It now has a Loop menu, with options "Infinite", "Stop at End Frame", "Stop at Start Frame", "Restore Frame", and "Bounce".
Loop control coming to Blender 5.2!
Now you finally have control over playback looping. Loop infinitely, or stop it at the end, at the start, or restore where you started playback from. And the most fun one: make it bounce!

In some of my tests, Sparc3D produced the results from a single photo that are, frankly, quite crazy.

Godot 4.6.1 stress test: 10k colliding objects, all with reflections. Holding a steady 100+ fps on my trusty old 2060!
Sneaky node cost me a lot of time here 🤦
The X-Ray Skeleton Arm is available to download on Blender's official website! blender.org/download/demo-files/#rendering
(Remember it's for Blender 5.1 or newer) #b3d
You know, my approach to scientific design is a playful one 😊.
I strongly believe that between data points and precise measurements, there is room for curiosity and imagination. Science may be exact, but design brings warmth, playfulness, and narrative.

Screenshot of the game Vampire Survivors showing some default 3D objects in the background. One of the objects is Blender's monkey head, Suzanne.
Love the little Suzanne easter egg in Vampire Survivors #b3d
when it comes to 3d modeling the 90-10 rule usually applies. that is to say 10% of the time is spent working and 90% is spent going haha model go spinny in the viewport of your application of choice
The biggest compliment you can ever make towards a #game or #cgi program is that it gives you #b3d vibes 👍🏻
Super close to releasing an updated Cycles Encyclopedia and then some 💪🏻
Your latest course seems to be doing well?

One significant limitation for motion graphic presets with #GeometryNodes will be removed in Blender 5.1: The font in the String to Curves node has an input socket now, so it can be controlled by a modifier. #b3d #devfund
Seems like we are not the only ones working on updates 😀
I was making a glass shattering animation with a lot of objects. I accidentally set the key interpolation to "elastic" and the graph made abstract art
Today I learned you can keep project-specific Blender export addons in your Godot game repo and just load them directly in Blender by adding a path 🤷
chart taken from the article about work that each AI system successfully completed. Ranged from 0.8% to 2.5%
Sharing this here since it involved a 3D modeling challenge..

Just 2.5%?
It feels like it would be much higher than that considering the general hype - as well as power expenditure and natural resources involved. I suppose it could still get better? 🤔
Today, I learned about matrix multiplication in Blender.
These matrices contain info for location and rotation, and can be chained one after another.
Super useful with the new "Geometry Attribute" constrain, e.g. to make a camera follow an object, like in the screen recording
Some blenderheads for you to follow :) go.bsky.app/MoenLnA
Top of Suzanne looks like a cooked turkey
Much of the time mesh is too dense to simulate as a soft-body in Blender.
In those cases simply add a lattice and run the soft body sim on the lattice instead. Works especially well with the new "Lattice Deform Selected" option in #b3d 5.0
I’m sure this has comedic potential I just can’t put my finger on it.
When someone asks what my stance on realism is.. #b3d #geometrynodes
An sdf grid w/ some texture generated mesh and some point lights. Voila.. #b3d #geometrynodes
Did you happen to notice Blender 5.0 release gave us the Rounded Caps!
The 'Curve to Tube' node in geometry nodes I mean.
What a journey it was, phewww! :D
Behold, the magpie menu
