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

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.

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

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

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

every year I become slightly more convinced all professional software needs customizable popup menus + accelerator keys because only when you have instant access to all tools using software stops being such a chore and you can start playing with it like a kid

just for fun #3d #blender #cocacola

good morning #b3d

i made a custom build of blender that has color coded node timing overlays to assist with quickly identifying which nodes are slowing things down

The German #BlenderDay and Blender Summer School 2025 are around the corner (25th to 27th of July to be precise): digitalproduction.com/2025/06/20/b...

finally figured out how to get an addon to automatically show all the sockets in a geometry nodes modifier. turned it into a reusable function so i can make more tools easily in the future
