To all of you former Modo users, this reflection environment I created back in 2008 might look familiar—it even became the default one. Well, now you can also use it in Blender. Whether you were a Modo user or not! 😀 etereaestudios.com/resources/bl...

After working with MODO for over 17 years, when I switched to Blender just over a year ago, what I missed most were its fantastic Falloffs... But thanks to the new add-on from the great Taz-San, that's no longer an issue: FALLOFFS AND MUCH MORE! tazaki.gumroad.com/l/gamki

Simple Bend Ex is one of those Blender add-ons that, once you start using it, you can't live without. And like that one, there are many other add-ons from @kushiro.bsky.social, many of which are completely free. kushiro.gumroad.com/l/simple-ben...

The great Yoshiaki Tazaki, one of the original lead developers of MODO, has just released a great set of tools useful for Blender modeling workflow. It contains utilities that are mainly aimed at Modo users to make Blender easier to use. I LOVE THIS!!! tazaki.gumroad.com/l/gamki

Tim Johannsen has shared a nice add-on for Blender, “Boundaries to Ngon”. It's a one-click solution to fill non-intersecting edge loops with a small set of ngons. It extends Blender's built-in Fill tool by correctly handling holes and nested polygons. timjohannsen.gumroad.com/l/bounds2ngons

Another little trick I hadn't discovered until now! We can control different levels of subdivision with the ‘Subdivision Surface’ NODE (within Geometry Nodes) in the same way as with Blender's MODIFIER!

I've been working with Blender for over a year now, and I hadn't discovered the Skin Modifier until now!!!

Step by step, my little collection of custom nodes keeps growing. I couldn't be happier with this software — I Love @blender3d.bsky.social!

A little technique I just discovered for precisely controlling the orientation of our gizmos (moving, rotating, or scaling) using the 3D Cursor. I'm sure all of you who have been using Blender for many years already know about it. But for me, it was a happy discovery!

The latest from Alberto Mielgo. A must-see on the big screen. The bigger, the better! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvbE...

Very happy with all the advanced techniques I am learning with @nodegroup.xyz masterclasses by Erindale. Here is the result of the first exercise: Medina Airport Columns. youtu.be/7rUmXd8j5C8 The course: www.nodegroup.xyz

Os recuerdo que se acerca la fecha límite para inscribirse en el curso gratuito que daré sobre Blender Geometry Nodes en el CTA de Zaragoza: el 9 de MARZO Tenéis toda la info y el enlace para inscribiros en mi blog: etereaestudios.com/2025/02/07/c...

The great, the master, the wizard Marco Vitale has written a breakdown for his MV L-System Node, explaining how he applied Lindenmeyer's principles in Substance Designer to procedurally create organic shapes and intricate fractal patterns 80.lv/articles/bre...

Working with procedural Bézier Curves in #Blender Geometry Nodes it's not possible to see the handles, right? NO PROBLEM: LET'S MADE A CUSTOM TOOL TO VISUALIZE THEM! Enjoying like a child with the FANTASTIC Medina Modelling Masterclass by @nodegroup.xyz youtu.be/Ve2mlODhPBo

Someone has asked for such a pattern in the Substance Designer Discord... And here is a simple way to obtain a “Pseudo Poisson Distribution”.

To group or not to group... that is the question! 😆 #GeometryNodes #CustomTools #Blender

A final de marzo impartiré un curso presencial sobre modelado y animación procedural con #Blender en el CTA de Zaragoza. Serán 60 horas dedicadas a aprender todo lo que podamos sobre sus famosos Geometry Nodes. Y a un precio imbatible: ¡GRATIS! etereaestudios.com/2025/02/07/c...

Well, thanks to the great Quackers, I have just discovered that “The For-Each” isn't actually needed in this case! As he said: “As both Set Curve Radius and Trim Curve support field inputs you can plug values derived from Index directly” Thanks!!!

Thanks to some notes I kept since 2009, when I was working with Cinema4D on Nature by Numbers, I've now been able to recreate a setup to animate multiple splines using #Blender Geometry Nodes and the “For Each Element” feature. And I couldn't be happier!

I've updated my #Blender notes and took the opportunity to add an INDEX for each of them (above), because I was going crazy to find things myself! etereaestudios.com/resources/bl...

YEAH! Big thanks to M D SAI CHARAN (Just 3D Things) @saicharanmd.bsky.social (@sai_charan_md in X)

Two questions for #GreasePencil experts (#Blender 4.3): 1. Once a Grease Pencil stroke is manually done, is it possible to change the hardness? 2. Combining Grease Pencil with Geometry Nodes, is it possible to paint with airbrush (soft) strokes along curves? THANKS!

Yeah! 'Merge and Separate Group Inputs'—a small custom add-on for #Blender Geometry Nodes to keep your Node Tree clean and organized. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-1W...

When using curves with Geometry Nodes, even though TILT and RADIUS data are read, the INTERPOLATION REMAINS LINEAR (see red example)—a #Blender limitation. Yet with GN, there's almost always a workaround! Many thanks to Shmuel The Noder for the invaluable help!

Metaballs flowing along curves, with control over their SIZE and AMOUNT across the path (including internal spline interpolation). Then, turn them into a smooth subdivision surface with QuadRemesher. I LOVE #BLENDER!!!

I never really paid much attention to Metaballs before, but seeing how versatile they are in Blender has changed that. And with Quad Remesher, the final topology is just beautiful.

My new little add-on for #Blender Geometry Nodes is still hot, freshly out of the oven! 👉 ETR Frame Color Palette

Delta Quad testing🙂 #b3d

The seed has been planted: every great toolkit begins with a single step. A collection in the making: ETEREA TOOLS FOR BLENDER… just the beginning. I love creating my own tools and #Blender is absolutely fantastic for this!

This technique to modulate the intensity of a Bevel Modifier along a loop of edges with Geometry Nodes and a Float Curve in #Blender is absolutely fantastic! Big thanks to “Zebrahead” user in the BlenderArtists forums for the help with this!

Unfortunately, #Blender still lacks a Bevel node in Geometry Nodes, but with the improved Bevel Modifier in version 4.3, you can handle (almost) any situation!

Check out my fully animated 1927 Reichert microscope in glorious 4K • Model, lights, animation & render were all made with #Blender, while materials were crafted using #Substance3DDesigner. 🎥 Take a look at the following post for the wireframe 👇 1/2 youtu.be/GbU-IsOgH0U

Most of the time, I want Viewport Display Color to match Diffuse Color. But in #Blender they’re handled as separate values. Manually copy-paste is a PITA. Wouldn’t it be way better to have an add-on that does it for you automatically? Problem solved! 🚀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT0h...

A small exercise made with #Blender and #Substance3DPainter, a beautiful old Reichert microscope from 1927. Simply put: I’m extremely happy with Blender. In fact, I’M IN LOVE WITH IT! More details on this same thread ⬇️ 1/3

A visualization and walkthrough of the LLM algorithm that backs OpenAl's ChatGPT, to explore the algorithm down to every add & multiply, seeing the whole process in action. Caution: your head could explode with this! bbycroft.net/llm

Too many people say “work around” when what they’re actually describing is just the work

From today you can see all my old animations remastered in 4K on my web site. Of course, better on a big screen 😉 For example, WABI-SABI, from 2016 vimeo.com/184212106 etereaestudios.com

I just updated my notes on Blender: etereaestudios.com/resources/bl...

The Substance Designer team has been cooking... these new nodes makes me feel as smart as Andrei Zelenco 🧠 (stay tuned for the release!)

youtu.be/bZ0JU-DSWJs this is cinema (if cinema wasn't cinema) #b3d #geometrynodes

The great, the master, the wizard, Marco Vitale just launched a new jewel: “MV L-SYSTEM”, to properly implement Lindenmayer Systems working with nodes in @Substance3D Designer. And this thing is a beauty & big beast!!! www.artstation.com/artwork/zxXL2L

question from the other side asking how to make nodes transparent

#SubstanceDesigner Quicktip. For better looking crisp WIP screenshots directly from the viewport go to Camera>Edit Selected and set Use Window Resolution to false. You can then export a screenshot in the specified resolution via Camera>Save Render. #gamedev #gameart #substance3d

A new node for #SubstanceDesigner is cooking up!
