Big news for Blender: adaptive subdivision is no longer experimental! projects.blender.org/blender/blen... It's still Cycles-only, but a big step forward. #b3d #blender3d

New #introduction: I'm a Blender enthusiast, both in scripting tools as well as art. I code at an animation studio for a living. Just continuing to spend time with family, solve problems, and tell stories.

Here's the PeerTube recording of my BCON talk: tilvids.com/w/d7VC2wQNFL... Please share if you have followers interested in scalable add-on development. #b3d #blender3d #bcon #python #testing

Since I couldn't give my BCON25 presentation, I recorded it at home and editing it now. Will hopefully have it ready by Monday.

Sometimes, when I'm too sick or unmotivated to write, I just try to write an existing scene for fun.

Finished a draft! Felt really good about the ending. Now that I've got the story/plot, I'll take a break and then revisit to push the characters further and have a more visible arc. #scriptsky #screenwriting

It's me. I would fall for this. #meme

"What if the default cube could have its revenge?" #Blender3d livestreamers, I have an add-on I'm wrapping up that may make streams more ... chaotic. Perfect for a Halloween stream, it's even customizable for your viewers. #b3d #livestream #livestreaming #livestreamer #twitch #streamer

Pinned for a future normalMagic update: "Boolean Extrude" 🧪🧑‍🔬 #normalMagic #b3d #geometrynodes

Some great animations in here, please check them out, and vote if you have a Blender account!

I have a few of these, but the older I get, and the more I rewatch Soderbergh's "Ocean's Eleven," the more I'm convinced. Absolute cinema.

Been re-routing my custom domain and where I'm hosting my links page. So if that wasn't working for you for the past hour or so, that's why 😅 should be okay now.

Real quick one today. OBS access within Blender. Goes through OBS websocket server (Tools > WebSocket Server Settings) Sometimes I'll record to audio in my Blender timeline (like a voice over I'm matching). This is a nice way to quickly sync the screen record. #b3d

procedural lens flares dont need light sources so you can drop threshold way down and enjoy flares from lit concrete if that's the artistic vision

New video! I discovered a rare case of add-ons preventing autosaves in Blender. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhqF... #b3d #Blender3d #Python

Me, listening to a song for the first time: ehh it's alright Me, listening for the second time: hold on Me, the third time: alright imma put this on repeat

Good news, I found the cause of my bad/quiet mic sound: my USB hub. In the past I plugged most things directly into my PC, but with the hub I stopped doing that. Seems like it was overwhelmed and ruined my sound as a result. Definitely re-recording my next video, but should be better from now on.

1000 subscribers on YouTube! I was at 500 less than a year ago, which is crazy.

Okay I need your best youtubes about switching to Linux, how to use it, what the differences are, which distro to use, that kind of thing. Anything helps. I am FED UP 😩

Experimenting with Blenderkit add-on (for an upcoming video on modal operators), found an edge-case but nasty bug: not only does it fail to register on factory default startup, it saves the factory-default preferences as your user preferences. Meaning, you lose all your user preferences.

I really seem to write in spurts. Few days in the row, nothing. Listen to Javert's "Stars"*, suddenly I crank out a few pages of rough draft 🔥 *the original London cast recording, not the movie

New nView add-on release! It's now fully compatible with Blender 4.5, including better shader support for transmission bounce checks, as well as utilizing the new BLAZING fast "manifold" boolean solver to generate meshes from a moving camera frustum. #b3d #blender3d #python

Follow your dreams. But know that there's a lot more nuance to your life and happiness than a job. Diversify your happiness. Don't put all your eggs in the career basket. I was reminded of this with a commencement speech given by the YouTuber 3Blue1Brown: youtu.be/W3I3kAg2J7w?...

Just updated my free sample E-book. It has 30 pages of modeling tips. If you're interested, you can get it on www.3Dsecrets.com #Blender #b3D #Blender3D

Apparently #Battlefield6 servers are at full capacity rn. But after playing a session, ... if they can give a solid singleplayer, I may get it on sale.

I don't know how I've went this long without using the "personal note" feature on my contacts, Discord, and Mastodon. Especially when usernames are a far cry from who they are. username: "xxxDOOM_SLYER_3574xxx" note: "Eric from work"

Of ones I've read in the past year: - "The Grizzlies and Us" by Lynne Seus - " On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King - "Till We Have Faces" by C.S. Lewis - "Dracula" by Bram Stoker

I'm proud to announce that my contribution to OpenTimelineIO has finally been merged! It adds optional RGBA color tags for items. So now you can color-code your clips and tracks. github.com/AcademySoftw... #otio #OpenTimelineIO #Python #cpp

This one was just wrenching for me 😭

Includes a bug I reported from my latest tutorial (node wasn't coming up in the search), along with tons of important fixes. Thanks Blender!

I have the blood of too many default cubes on my hands #blender3d #b3d

It's suddenly a lot easier to be active when I have a flight of stairs in my house.

Alright, let's try a fun thread. What's a movie that you feel like you might as well memorize, you've seen/know it so much? #scriptsky

Got a good 650 words in with a sprint last night. Trying to get to the midpoint/2B by end of the month. Just need one more scene, plus finish a few rough scenes I skipped in act 2A 🙈 #scriptsky

Help make blending on-the-go a reality. code.blender.org/2025/07/beyo... #b3d #DevFund

By tomorrow, at least 2 Blender creators will have dropped compositing/color grading Blender tutorials this month, as I'm rehearsing to record my own. I don't expect demographics to overlap, it'll be fine. Mine is geared towards beginners color grading and compositing effects. #b3d #blender3d

Ozzy Osbourne, the singular metal legend whose Black Sabbath virtually invented heavy metal and in later years became a reality TV pioneer, has died at the age of 76. Access the free article here: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

In the words of Inception, "No, it's too soon..." #scriptsky #b3d #blender3d

Good news: Blender 4.5 is on pypi! All my unit tests for Light Painter, nView, and Proxy Plus passed. 4.5 has the fewest breaking changes I've seen in a while, which is great for add-on developers. So no need to make a video of migrating add-ons for 4.5 😌 #b3d #blender3d

There is something purifying about making art/stories/plugins for others. Sure, I still hold it up to a quality of "do I enjoy this?" But we do indeed live in a society, in a community of helping others. Not a black box.

9 things I've learned over 16 years for securing 3D freelance work: 1- Everyone talks about portfolio but people rarely credit spec work. Most of my new early clients came from spec work. Think of it as an investment. Every investment is a gamble... 🧵

Got some good ideas for my screenplay yesterday and tonight. Made sure to write them all down. What is your preferred note-taking app? Or otherwise getting ideas out of your head so you don't forget them? #scriptsky #DigitalArt
