Finding time for personal projects is hard. Deep Rooted took over 2 years of late nights and early mornings. Thank you to everyone that's taken the time to watch it, the response has been fantastic. Keep sharing you lovely people! youtu.be/Q0QM1Ral-7s #blender #b3d #shortfilm #animation

Hey #Blender users. How about graphing all direct and upstream users of a data block, for example an image texture? Makes it very easy to see where data is used and shared. #LinkView #addon to the rescue! #3d #b3d #nodes #exploreYourScene

Please test Blender 4.4 release candidate! With the transition to Slotted Actions, see if your old anim is still good when you load them. Give it a good shake, do weird stuff. Grab: builder.blender.org/download/dai... Docs : developer.blender.org/docs/release... #b3d #blender3d #devfund #animation

Our little animated short "Deep Rooted" will premiere tomorrow, weds 12th March at 16:00 GMT. Link here: youtu.be/Q0QM1Ral-7s #animation #blender #b3d #shortfilm
