#SHAPES for #Blender: Quick Tip 11

Filter by Value is a highly useful and powerful, yet underrated feature. You can easily filter either partial or full values. This helps to find currently active channels when dealing with large rigs.

Added more videos, updated the theme for better organization and added full outlines to all the videos.
So many interesting talks and discussions that you can’t find anywhere else. #rigtip

Great people

Remember these are interviews from our archives, not cutting edge tutorials for this year.

Robbie Reid - Film Rigging Reel (2025) YouTube video by Robbie Reid

Hey #PortfolioDay

I'm Robbie, a freelance senior rigging TD working in games, film and other related industries. I'm available for work with some spots open in May, get in touch if you prefer that I take care of those pesky rigging tasks instead of you

Does anyone still maintain the LoopTools add-on? I use it constantly, but I'm afraid at some point it will stop working (GStretch already doesn't work anymore). Tools like LoopTools > Space Should just be default Blender functionality IMO. #Blender #B3D

Today I spent the evening working on Copy Global Transform a bit more. It got some much-needed refactors, and the start of some automated tests. Necessary steps before adding more features.

Slow rigs are not okay, join the studios and artists who have already made the choice to spend time animating instead of waiting.

Unlooped Prevent Blender from looping scene playback

I've published a new add-on: Unlooped

Basically it stops Blender from looping playback. Yes I'll have to build that into Blender itself at some point. But this was a much faster way to help a friend.
