when you play a AAA game and a utility box looks oddly familiar

blender 5.1 has been the most broken build I have ever used in my 8 years of using Blender.

In Germany, the #Blender is a mountain. And it's over 1000! #b3d #blender3d

In Germany, Blender is a mountain 😳 #b3d youtu.be/IZ3k97qYAko?...

Have you already experienced SINGULARITY? The new open movie by the Blender Studio is now online for the whole world to see! #b3d #OpenMovie #BlenderStudio #Singularity

I accidentally do Spanish Baroque when I try to bevel stuff in Blender.

#GeometryNodes will have a new Sample Sound Frequencies node in Blender 5.2. It allows creating animations and simulations based on audio data without having to use non-procedural workarounds. #b3d #devfund

.... 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 🚨 🗣️

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! #animation #b3d #blender3d #development #devfund

In some of my tests, Sparc3D produced the results from a single photo that are, frankly, quite crazy. #3d #sparc3d

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

Arm Skeleton Test (using the shader raycast node for the translucency) #b3d #shader #3dart

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. #sciart #blender3d

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 👍🏻

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 🤷

Sharing this here since it involved a 3D modeling challenge.. washingtonpost.com/technology/i... 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

falling asleep while my textures are baking that's ambien occlusion

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

👽 Blender - Here are another couple of other renders from the alien embryo procedural shading style test. #b3d #blender #3dart

Nice when the function key symbol on a new keyboard matches your primary need to said key. #blender3d

The amazing Flow producer brought the Oscar for everyone to share a moment of fame at Blender Conference photo booth!

During the Blender Conference 2025 keynote, Ton Roosendaal announced to step down as chairman and Blender CEO per January 1st 2026, passing on his roles to Blender COO Francesco Siddi. Watch the presentation at www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXm0... #b3d Press release: www.blender.org/press/blende...

My student, Rebecca, made a wonderful short animation for one of my classes last spring and now it is an accepted entry for a Suzanne Award at this year's Blender Conference. If you have a Blender account, you can vote for it. conference.blender.org/2025/festiva...

NASA released some shape models of four of Saturn's moons. These have every lump and bump; they're not simple spheres. Here's a test render I did in #Blender showing #Mimas in false color - red is high, blue low. Clearly shows how non-spherical it is! #sciart #spaceart 1/2

One of the biggest reasons I hear about why people don't use ngons is if the base mesh shading looks bad and it will also subdiv bad. This is unrelated and if it subdivs bad, it's not because of the base shading. The two have no correlation due to having very different topo.

Surprise! There is now an unofficial #UnrealEngine plugin that gives you convenient access to our HDRIs directly in the engine! Available to all our $5 Patreon supporters, and on Fab for $30: polyhaven.com/plugins/unreal

Using Blender geometry nodes to pass spline data onto a canvas with shader materials . They said it couldn't be done. #b3d #blender3d #geometrynodes #shadernodes
