Short Film: To the Future

Blender artist Max Bedulenko excels in creating highly detailed, sometimes dystopian environments. His short film 'To the Future' definitely has Ian Hubert vibes - I love the atmosphere and sound design.

#Blender #Godot #Addon #Pipeline

Updated my wee Godot-hints Blender addon. The last one had a bug. No one told me, so I guess no one tried it. <sad face>

Anyway, new with a zip file for easy install and readme with instructions and the bug fixed.

If you try it, please let me know. It's so lonely out here in free software land.

Too much work rn but I managed to update my fur shader and blockout a new fox.

i was hoping to use #Blender 4 on my desktop since i have a new enough macOS now.. but it keeps hanging on the shading tab even with just the default cube :|

plenty of CPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM available so i dont get it

2024 I made:

- a comic reading irl event with my #bitsy games
- painted a tshirt
- touched #blender for a christmas market
- bought a old digital camera
- filmed and cut a little lo fi vacation video
- started working on #goldshot in #godot
- took part in #famicase
- made a handful of website for irl #FLINTA community
- was a first time dungeon master
- made a bunch of 88x31 buttons and forum signatures for #Famiclub
- wrote blog posts at proudmorning.neocities.org

After some comments and additional information, I had to correct the color temperature conversion table from Kelvin to HEX color code once again, and I also added the color values in HSV format. Now it should be okay. #b3d #Blender #Blender3D #VFX #CGI

Crash Bandicoot Fan-video

Anas took about a week to re-create some youth nostalgia: Crash Bandicoot! Check out this video that includes a breakdown of the entire project.

Me: Oh the Remesh modifier in #Blender is so much fun! Let's see what this value does

Blender: I'm gonna need your RAM, your swap file and the part of your brain where you store your childhood memories.

Dissolving Faces always makes me feel like a Serial Killer, especially since I usually cut them up with the knife first.

#JustNormalThings.

The best #blender episode so far!

The previous one was a little bit wrong!
So I've recreated a new table of common black body color temperatures in Kelvin and their approximate HEX color codes for easy use in Blender and other RGB applications. #b3d #Blender #Blender3D #VFX #CGI

Splitting time between composing and working on this mead hall interior. Since the music I'm working on is for the mead hall it feels like both tasks help inform the other.

#blender | #gamedev | #indiegame | #screenshotsaturday

After years, we’re still revisiting a new #GSoC proposal to implement #NURBS functions in #Blender, another ambitious project. I’m skeptical: wouldn’t it be better to leverage existing tools like FreeCAD’s #OCCT kernel and wrappers such as PythonOCC, which already provide ready-to-use solutions? A native implementation would require advanced mathematical and programming expertise, which a beginner (still learning C++) would struggle to master in just a few weeks of development. #b3d #CAD

Happy Saturday people - here's the latest iteration of my roller coaster video!

This is largely shaping up to be just how I envisioned it, but there's a lot of work to be done, as always. Really happy with it so far, though!
