Blender 5 gives us a new Array modifier and with it, the ability to easily place objects as instances along a Curve. Previously, it was done using a combination of Array and Curve modifiers, but it would deform the instances unless you used a workaround. #Blender #b3d #Blender3d

The new Array modifier in Blender 5.0 finally gives us a simple solution for making Circular Arrays. #blender #B3D #Blender3D

In this video we have a quick look at solving a boolean hole for subdivision ready topology. #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

Adding holes to curved surfaces is one of the more challenging parts of 3D modeling. And getting the surface around the holes perfect can be really frustrating. That's where the Data Transfer modifier can be a great help. #b3D #blender3D #Blender

Adding details to curved surfaces can be difficult. But the free TexTools add-on makes this process easy with the UV Mesh feature. More tips, e-books, courses: www.3dsecrets.com #b3d #blender #blender3d

How to Straighten UV's so you can put textures on curved objects (Mio3 UV, UVTools, TexTools) #b3D #Blender #Blender3D

One easy way to create holes in 3D models, is by using a black and white texture. This is especially useful for cloth objects. However you can also turn it into geometry with thickness for 3D printing, with just a few modifiers. #Blender #b3d #Blender3D

I'm working on a short E-book that should contain everything I know about making holes in Blender. Like a real braindump about a single topic. Do you have any holes-related questions? I probably have everything covered, but just in case. I'm curious! #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

In this new video, we do a beginner-friendly deep dive into the "double subdivision" method which is a very easy, fast and fun way of making 3D models. This is a longer version of a video I made about a year ago. Watch it here: youtu.be/YCd_tS_3BTU #blender #b3d #blender3d

Almost done with the "Pocket Blender" device modeling. Does anyone else feel like a lot of 3D modeling is just making holes? Or is it just me. #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

Work on the "pocket Blender" handheld device continued in the weekend... #B3D #Blender3D #Blender

How about this design for a "pocket Blender" console? Any important buttons missing? #B3D #Blender3D #Blender

Question: If you had only 10 or so buttons for Blender, what would they be? (Can be one button for Duplicate, for example). For me, Q (Quick Favorites) would be nr.1, then Tab (mode toggle), Shift+D, Alt+Q, Undo, F, Ctrl, Enter, ESC... what else? #blender #b3d #blender3d

Part 2 of the updated workflow for Grease Pencil to base meshes. Very fun to use, if you plan to sculpt on the base mesh. #blender3D #B3D #Blender www.BlenderSecrets.org

This is an updated workflow for turning Grease Pencil strokes into a base mesh that can then be used for sculpting. The previous workflow used the Convert to Path option, which is now gone. #B3D #Blender3D #Blender

Do you sometimes have too many Edges on your model close together, where it would be better to redistribute them more evenly? In this video we explore 3 quick tips for doing just that. #blender #b3d #Blender3D

If you're trying to use Alpha brushes in Blender for sculpting, you may encounter this issue: It's blurry, or it seems you don't have enough resolution even though you've got a lot of subdivisions. In this video we look at a few possible causes. #Blender #Blender3D #B3D www.BlenderSecrets.org

If your Alpha brush texture falls outside of the brush radius, those corners will be cut off. To solve this, you just need to increase one value in the brush settings. #Blender #B3D #Blender3D Get my Alpha brushes along with my sculpting course at www.blendersecrets.org

This video looks at converting a Displacement texture into actual geometry, that can be 3D printed or sculpted on. Textures from Polyhaven. #Blender #B3D #Blender3d www.blendersecrets.org

In this video we look at the process of setting up PBR textures in Blender, for Cycles and Eevee. We'll also look at how to use Ambient Occlusion textures, as well as how to convert the displacement to real geometry. youtu.be/qxxoDYGrvtwIn #Blender3D #B3D #Blender

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

Since I have no job in animation since June 2024, I'm training in 3D mech modeling to learn the basics & maybe be able to do my own. And that's thanks to @blendersecrets.bsky.social & @chromamoma.bsky.social I have rarely experienced a tutorial in such a serene way! #Blender is definitely a banger🔥
