the absolute dreamlike vibe of far cry 5 tho

godot in your prius soon confirmed

you're not gonna believe it 🤯

you can make and bake procedural decal trims with ucupaint

another blender mapping tip - the quickest vanilla way to call Follow Active Quads is Right Click + F in the UV panel. it lets you continue a tiling texture from active face to newly extruded walls if the active face is not a rectangle just make it into one by running Unwrap on it first

took me a bit too long to learn how easy it is to fill vertex color on selection in blender (1/2 to switch to face or vertex, W to select, Ctrl+X to fill selection, then you can do paint->smooth vertex colors if you need to)

Considering pill tab design for inner tabs of the new godot ui theme

btw godot's auto editor UI scale is very large by default. if you're just getting into godot I recommend fucking around with display scale in settings to see if non-default works better for you compare i.e the size of UI is in godot by default compared to blender's default on a hidpi 16'' macbook:

I'm thinking runtime/design-time is merely a suggestion with godot because the editor is very small and you can ship it with your game to run import/export pipelines at runtime by launching it as a subprocess could be useful for generating game content or full standalone games at runtime 🤔

you can't beat the eloquence of s&box devs

ready for tonight 🍿

There's now also a github discussion for feedback on the new theme if you prefer github! It's a freeform discussion, all comments are welcome, short or long, positive or negative!

that escalated 💀

Godot 4.6 is nearing beta and we need feedback on the new UI theme! A lot of issues have already been fixed and it's in a better shape than my external gdscript theme could ever be. Still I consider this only the first step towards better UI in godot Let me know what you think about it so far!

my most used words on bluesky in 2025. if you look closely you may notice that I post about blender and godot

for real though godot is one of the few projects out there that actually democratizes gamedev instead of talking about democratizing it

5 euros for godot is insane value, these cyber monday deals are getting out of hand 🤯

made a fun little godot-blender viewport camera sync miniapp no addons on either side, no build steps, just a single js module file that's loaded in tauri that has code in all 6 languages (html, css, js, python, gdscript, bash)

just one more video before going to sleep

playing with tauri, made a thing that watches godot source code and recompiles/restarts the editor automatically

what would you do with this space?

so apple is abandoning applescript/jxa and leaving us with no way to control things like window focus, display brightness, system volume etc from shell without first pre-creating shortcuts in a gui app? not cool apple

your turn @valvesoftware.com

what if I made a code runner app that reads scripts from a folder on disk and lets them draw their own simple guis inside of the runner app for one-stop os level tooling, daemons, task automation, etc? I cant find anything like that and I would love it for rpc workflows. could make it in godot

no HL3 today but the transition at 1:22 in this L4D track goes hard 💀

didn't get half life 3 today but at least we got blender 5 release

so you're saying it has out of the box support for git, vim and c++, and it's foss? ok fine I'll try zed

HL3 was made in blender and godot confirmed 💯

maybe something hl3 related today?

Blender just announced Blender Lab, an innovation space within the Blender project for the most ambitious tasks, which means that maybe some day in the future we will be able to delete a material in edit mode

btw if you need a proper introduction to PBR texturing with ucupaint I wrote a very detailed guide a few month ago in case you missed it:

ucupaint 2.4.0 is out with improved alpha workflow, better smart mask support, easier floater baking, decal constraints and more! ⭐

mmm I kinda want all apps to run an rpc server out of the box so that I could write cross-app pipeline code instead of whatever the hell it is we're doing now where every app is its own isolated environment after all if you need more than one app to make a project your dev environment is your OS

Thanks for the kind words @gamefromscratch.bsky.social 🙏✨

The prison of your mind

The new godot UI theme has been merged and is on its way to be the new default! I consider godot to be one of the most important software projects of our time and it's a huge privilege to be able to contribute to it. Happy to see it grow and be used for increasingly ambitious games and apps ❤️

big inspector improvement for arrays

ima background artist today

doing some R&D on adding baked AO to godot lightmaps

The improved SSR in godot 4.6

I added orbit snapping on alt to godot 4.6

Here's how to scatter objects in Blender 5.0 with just a few nodes ✨

haters will say ffmpeg is hard to use

WAIT! sampling from sdf after fillet basically gives you geometry-independent AO grid 😮 blender 5.0 is bussin 🤯

LOOK AT HOW BIG MY FOREST IS

🤔

blender new SDFs gonna go so hard for instance scattering tho
