Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Before #blender3d version 2.8 we had the option to create interactive 3D content using the game engine and logic bricks. Since they have been removed there has been talk of adding an interactive mode to #b3d again.

So to be landed PR: 6 lines added, 21581 lines removed. Buh-bye Collada, we hardly knew ye. projects.blender.org/blender/blen... (this is *not* counting the OpenCollada library itself, which is like 620 thousand lines of code lol).

15y ago today I was just starting to work on Sintel, amazed by this "new way of lighting" by bouncing light off surfaces (!), mindblowing for any Blenderhead at the time. That was the addition of irradiance cache to Blender Internal, it never got merged but it sparked its replacement: Cycles 🧡 #b3d

Congratulations to @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win! Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide. Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d

Congrats! I’m so happy for you!

Het is heel moeilijk te accepteren, maar we moeten ophouden onszelf te foppen met rare juridische argumenten, technische trucs & "hoop". Amerika & hun clouds zijn geen veilige plek meer meer om onze maatschappij en overheid op te laten draaien: berthub.eu/articles/pos...

Trump signs executive order saying all independent agencies are directed by him, must be loyal to him, all relevant laws affecting them are interpreted by him, and have spies embedded in them which report to him www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... That's totalitarianism. Right there.

The first meetup will happen on 2025-03-01 (Saturday) at 18:00. Please join our chat channel for more details: chat.blender.org#/room/#berli... #b3d

I’m excited to announce that due to popular demand, we will release the full animatic of Flow aka Float aka the Crazy Frog Edition. Instead of using storyboards, all the scenes are designed directly in 3D. Everything was made in Blender and rendered in EEVEE.
