He doesn't let me take many pictures of him... My son Oliver is getting his next brain MRI at St. Judes in a few hours. If you all could send him positive energy for clear scans, I do appreciate it. Thanks.

I have updated my Ruinator mesh destroying addon over on Superhive with many new features - custom debris, new shader options, etc.. #blender superhivemarket.com/products/rui...
The Ruinator: Mesh Destroyer
The Ruinator is a geometry nodes-based modifier addon that helps 3D artists procedurally quickly add highly detailed ruined structure effects non-destructively.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

My grandfather recorded this in 1993 in the woods near his home. He swears it was real. And stupid. #b3d

Here’s 3 full minutes of @kaitlancollins trying to get @SpeakerJohnson to admit undocumented people can’t get federal health care, and Johnson repeating the lie over and over anyway.
Republicans are kicking people off insurance then lying about who they’re doing it to.

Who likes to make their renders look like outdated rubbish? I do. That's why I made RetroRender - a Blender compositing setup that let's you quickly design and apply old film or video looks directly to your Blender renders. It's live on Superhive superhivemarket.com/products/ret... and my Gumroad.
Retrorender
RetroRender is a compositor node setup for Blender that simulates vintage film or video.

The first assignment in one of my 3D animation courses is to remake a film studio logo animation (vanity card) as closely as possible, but change the text. I made my own. Fellow GenX folks will remember this one. #b3d
