🎉 Blender 5.0 is here, so let’s chat about the new features: youtu.be/EUZX2_wRB8U #b3d #blender #blender3d

🔥 Blender needs our help! If every active user contributed $5 this month, Blender would be funded for the entire year of 2026. I’ve just released a video talking about why I donate to Blender and what it has done for me: youtu.be/ndJ7gnwO2rc #b3d #blender #blender3d

Talking about how I made the cloak for the recent reinterpretation of the Wanderer character art (a Blender demo by Daniel Bystedt). #b3d #blender #blender3d

Just a quick discussion video today, talking about some thing to be aware of when taking part in art challenges / competitions: youtu.be/sDsyCa1hVQ8 #b3d #blender

Another quick demonstration from a recent video using my 'physical definition' material for displaying sculpted objects (with optional geometry proximity effects), which is included in my startup file on Gumroad. #b3d #blender #blender3d

Recently, I decided to reimagine an original character by Daniel Bystedt, which gave me an opportunity to test out an idea for humanoid faces. #b3d #blender #blender3d

✍️ I recently posted the October roundup on my Patreon, which is free for anyone to read. Remember, if you sign up for free, I will send monthly updates to you inbox, keeping you up to date on what we're working on: www.patreon.com/posts/conten... #b3d #blender #blender3d

I use the Wanderer character by Daniel Bystedt (2) in a lot of lighting demos for Blender, so yesterday I wanted to pay homage by doing a reinterpretation of the character that's a bit more in line with my personal style, but could also feasibly exist within the same universe (1) #b3d #blender

Talking about my geometry proximity material which I’ve shared in my startup file on Gumroad. #b3d #blender #blender3d

Talking about the viability of using geometry proximity for shading sculpted objects in Blender. The exobiology project files available on the Patreon. #b3d #blender #blender3d

Talking about the recent alien embryo style test in Blender. 👽 #b3d #blender #blender3d

Here is a cleaner workspace screenshot of the recent 'display case' render test, featuring the Wanderer character by Daniel Bystedt and Plant Library by bd3d. #b3d #blender #blender3d

🦠 Demonstration of laying shaders using my geometry proximity shading method. Relating to an exobiology style test, file available on my Patreon. #b3d #blender #blender3d

💀 Since it's spooky season, here's a skull I sculpted in Blender recently when doing some display case and lighting tests. #b3d #blender #blender3d

🧠 Clip from the Blender MRI project, talking about heatmapping scan volumes with color ramps. #b3d #blender #blender3d

💡 New video: Love this one - I’ve done a bunch of render tests for a future update for the Afterglow asset library for Blender, so here’s a breakdown: youtu.be/hQydDI-gKxk #b3d #blender #blender3d

🧠 This is how my Blender MRI visualization project came to be, as a collaboration with @cartesiancaramel.bsky.social. #b3d #blender #blender3d

💡 Here’s a little Blender tip, if you don’t know about the per-camera resolution addon, it’s become an essential part of my workflow (available on the extensions platform). #b3d #blender #blender3d

This was the 'final' render for the interior lighting exercise a while ago. I'll come back and detail it properly in the future. #b3d #blender #3dart

It’s quite interesting looking back at my recent thumbnails (which have become more render-focused) because I can kind of get an idea for common themes that run through my work. I'd say the main pillars are: Light, space, life and death. #b3d #blender

💡💀 Today’s video is a chat about how distractions can lead to new artwork (with some extra resources for patrons). This also ties into some new lighting tests for a future Afterglow update. youtu.be/tKRupvi3XHU #b3d #blender #blender3d

A neat little render from my MRI vis file (available on Patreon). #b3d #blender #blender3d

🧬 Here’s a little update on progress with BY-GEN V10 for Blender - the new rebuild of my generative modeling addon: youtu.be/gaewseJ47DY #b3d #blender #blender3d

Here’s a short showcasing my new favorite Blender material, which has also been added to my personal startup file on Gumroad. #b3d #blender #blender3d

In a recent video, I explained how my Patreon system works in terms of the number of hours spent working on free community projects every month (including the BY-GEN addon). Incidentally, there is a new update video on BY-GEN coming soon. #b3d #blender #blender3d

💡 Finally added my new physical presence material (from the alien embryo project) to my Blender startup file on Gumroad. Here’s a quick video: youtu.be/2SUITS-gq-c #blender #b3d #blender3d

Recently, I updated my startup file with a new lighting setup in preparation for sculpting studies. Here I'm just putting it to the test with a statue scan from noe-3d.at (Sketchfab). #b3d #blender #blender3d Full video: youtu.be/4B3Bcei-WpM

💡Here’s a quick short talking about the light shapes update for Afterglow - my lighting tools for Blender! #b3d #blender #blender3d

It's been a while since I've done a ranting video. "What NOT to Say to an Artist" Enjoy. 😉 youtu.be/-5ApiKCG4gI

Here’s a quick outline of my new favorite shading technique, picked up from the recent alien embryo project. A full breakdown is available on my YouTube channel. #b3d #blender #blender3d

While working on BY-GEN recently, we looked at ways of making nodes readable to show users *where* nodes can be linked/unlinked without needing extra parameters or unnecessary switch nodes. #b3d #blender #blender3d

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

👽 Here’s a video breaking down my recent alien life style test in Blender. I learnt some really interesting shading techniques with this project. youtu.be/8MTj9BrYGE4 #b3d #blender #blender3d

⬇️ Just a quick reminder: you can sign up to the patreon for free if you want to get monthly updates for new content and resources. It's a more accessible way of supporting. Here's this month's roundup: www.patreon.com/posts/conten... #b3d #blender #blender3d

Blender - From a recent video talking about how we're implementing logic libraries in BY-GEN V10. #b3d #blender #blender3d

💡 I updated Afterglow (my lighting tools for Blender) to version 2.1, adding new light shapes to act as lighting sources and reflections. Here's a demonstration video: youtu.be/62j5fGlhOyk #b3d #blender #blender3d

While doing work on the next version of the BY-GEN generative modeling addon for Blender, I've had to stop things from getting too gross (for now). 😆 #b3d #blender #blender3d

To help with getting back into sculpting, I decided to try a refurbishing exercise of cleaning up the recent statue photoscan to make it more appropriate for artwork. Here's a little before and after. #3dart #blender #blender3d

🧠 A quick short about my personal MRI visualizer file in Blender, available to silver-tier patrons. #b3d #blender #blender3d

💡 Blender - More light shape work continued for Afterglow, with a combination of physical geometric and painted image planes, allowing for great variety (already available in version 2.1) #b3d #blender #blender3d

💡 Blender - Working on light shapes for my Afterglow lighting pack, with contributions from the lovely Lara Stolk. These are good as both light sources and reflection shapes. #b3d #blender #blender3d

🏛️ Since I'm keen on getting back into sculpting, I've taken some time to update my startup file with a new versatile lighting setup and materials, specifically for displaying sculpted objects and scans. Check it out: youtu.be/4B3Bcei-WpM #b3d #blender

Superhive is running a 25% sale - this is an opportunity to pick up Afterglow, Hex Scatter, Modular Workspaces and more. (Self-Referral Link) superhivemarket.com/creators/cur... I have also set up a code on Gumroad (bcon25) to match the Superhive sale, in case you prefer to get things there. #b3d
