I got my "project to grease pencil" WIP add-on to handle colors! Really exciting, hope to share a sneak peek in my next video. #b3d #blender3d #python

OMG #PortfolioDay again... I haven't really done any new works yet...

Having watched enough Twitch (from YouTube), my wife and I now unironically say a loud "HUH" so just about anything.

Check out 16Core Character Mapper, a FREE app I've built for authors & screenwriters to develop deeper, more complex characters. Get it here: georgetsirogiannis.com/16corecharac... (video walkthrough on the site!) CC: @writingcommunity.bsky.social #ScriptSky #WriteSky #IndieDev #WritingCommunity

My coworker said in a meeting that his computer's clock was five minutes slow for some reason. I joked that he's "borne back ceaselessly into the past." Sadly no one laughed. The older I get, the more niche (and punny) my humor becomes.

Question/discussion: what's your favorite content to watch that, while the subject matter isn't as interesting/relevant to you, the execution is so good you still engage with it?

Watched "Gone with the Wind." Somehow characters are both likeable and unlikeable (which means they're doing their job), but my goodness, it's well shot.

Me hoping this becomes the new "Obama awarding Obama" meme trend #meme #BrunoMars

This is scary. I have a massive life update! I'm crowdfunding my game project. I've held off until I have most major game systems in place already. Go learn about my game and please share! It doesn't like me to send you somewhere else, so please check my profile for 🔗.

non emitter objects pushing the smoke around ^^ #blender #blender3d #b3d

I'm torn over my script. My protagonist is still not interesting enough, even if he's flawed. I just started my third draft, may need to redo part of it. Has anyone else done labs, like the Stage32 ones? Did they help? #scriptsky

Would you like to break my game?

Was updating my resume recently. Forgot I had a half-done version in HTML + CSS. Instead of going back to Google Docs or Word, I just did it all there. I'm a masochist like that 😅 So if an interviewer ever questions my web dev skills, I can say, "Well, you just read one of my webpages" 😜

I know I'm oh so behind on this, but finally got to watch "Flow" with the new year! I really like it, glad it got lots of recognition and awards. Animation works remarkably for the animals, no small feat. For those into storytelling, it follows the 3 act structure quite closely, and does it well.

Forgot to post this -- new article: "The Artist Landscape" Read more here: spencer-magnusson.beehiiv.com/p/the-artist... (RSS and email newsletter formats also available)

Happy birthday, Blender! 🎂 Today, your own 3D software turns 2⁵! Here's to many more years of Freedom to Create. #b3d

Crazy busy 2025 for me. Just art-related stuff: - (still) writing drafts for a screenplay - created my Blender scripting course, along with maintaining add-ons like "Default Cube: The Game" - a few random artworks here and there #artvsartist #b3d #scriptsky #newyear

New video! Recounting a recent holiday render, and talking about setting goals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIQV... #b3d #blender3d

During the end-of-year campaign that ran last month, the Blender Project received over 27,000 one-time donations, 10x the regular monthly amount! Thank you to everyone who donated, started a Development Fund membership, or kept one active. #b3d

Blender 5.0.1 patch released today! Which means my nView add-on can finally work as expected in edit mode. Thanks @blender.org for getting this released! #b3d #blender3d

Me, receiving a idea that would not only take multiple months, but completely distracts from all my other goals for next year:

Anyone else just add "TODO"s or "fix me later"s in their scripts? Might just be the programmer in me. #scriptsky #screenwriting

Oh my goodness oh my goodness OH MY GOODNESS LET'S GO youtu.be/IaEtA56pd_w

Great video. ​​​"​Do stuff without the shame of failure." It saddens me when artists (including myself) get so inside their heads. When a failed creation is worse than not creating at all. But getting to "do stuff" yourself is one of the greatest sources of joys.

One of my favorite Blender-made add-ons. If you want the speed of rendering without the Blender UI, but still find the terminal confusing, this is for you. Bonus points if you have multiple computers and want to make your own local render farm.

Babe wake up, it's time for me to install Spotify on my phone just so I can see my Wrapped before uninstalling it again.

Had a writing epiphany, on what my current draft needs: a straight man. As much as I love stories that throw readers headlong into a new world, it wasn't working here. #scriptsky

Babe wake up, the new JSchlatt Christmas songs dropped youtu.be/f4p2-bp4zmc

EVE "Lazy Cat" music video is now online. Great work by Xiao Han (aka Off Script) & Ian Zhang. Full MV >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfTp...

A new quick Blender tip tutorial: how to take advantage of Blender's command line options to make "tutorial-ready Blender" and "safe Blender" shortcuts. No terminal required! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKUE... #b3d #blender3d #python

My Superhive products are 35% off this week, pre-Cyber sale! superhivemarket.com/creators/spe... #blender3d #b3d

Well, guess I don't need to make an email update 😄 but my "Default Cube: The Game" add-on is ready for 5.0, now with a few basic import/export features. #b3d #blender3d

Wind Waker style stencil buffer torches are done! I'm gonna share this on GitHub soon. This should also do shadows and layered/nested spheres as well. Not sure whether it's worth making a full video explaining it yet... #gamedev #godotengine #vfx

New video (finally), showcasing my new chaotic add-on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjA6...

Back after a bit. My main computer's GPU fan died, finally got a replacement for it. I never got to finish my "Default Cube: The Game" video, hopefully can resume working on that this week.

Learn how to rig a ball... again! but this time in blender 5, a big improvement from lat time i did this. youtu.be/s9linDGpSf0?... I'll keep improving the quality of my tuts over time, hope you enjoy it! #b3d #rigging #animation #beginner

"Default Cube: The Game" add-on is scheduled to come out this Halloween, available only on Superhive! #b3d #blender3d #DefaultCubeTheGame

I feel bad that I haven't been writing for a bit. I've been having the problem of so many coding projects, that all the actually creative stuff gets lost. I'm hoping that I can intentionally mitigate some of that stuff around the holidays. Been saying "in a few weeks" for a few months now 😅

Another Blender bug reported, another already fixed (and hopefully backported soon! Thanks @chengdulittlea.bsky.social and Campbell! #b3d projects.blender.org/blender/blen...

Reminder to clean your headphones/earbuds. Mine are currently drying and look MUCH better without all the gunk buildup of the past year.

Testing Light Painter for the Blender 5.0 update. Only had one bug: new sky textures changed, including removal of Nishita sky texture (at least the name). But it got me to appreciate new sky textures. Stunning. #b3d #blender3d

This is for Blender add-on devs: the Action API that was deprecated in Blender 4.4 has been removed in 5.0. Using action.fcurves / .groups / .id_root will NOT work in 5.0! Check the release notes for more info: developer.blender.org/docs/release... #b3d #blender3d #animation #addon #development

Happy 40th birthday to the Free Software Foundation! Donations welcome: www.fsf.org

A fun experiment while taking a break from my current script. #scriptsky #FirstPageFriday #screenwriting

Good news: two games I want to get are on Steam sale. Bad news: both are >=100 GB. See, this is why I like cloud gaming: zero worries about disk space.

🖥️ This is probably one of the biggest features coming to Blender 5.0 - in my opinion, Sequencer to Compositor nodes as a modifier - this is Davinci workflows built in! A hot requested idea for nearly a decade now! Already in the main trunk!
