I just released a new Blender extension for blurring images and scene backgrounds: extensions.blender.org/add-ons/blur...
Under the hood, it uses the image processing libraries PIL and OpenEXR.

Today I learned that Blender supportes fuzzy search, e.g. “iop” for Instance on Points.

Data driven workflows will see many improvements in Blender 4.5!
We recently improved the spreadsheet in Blender in multiple ways:
* Context path moved to the side making space for menus.
* Columns can be resized/reordered.
* It remembers the order of columns.
* Supports horizontal scroll wheel.

New self-contained python script (thanks to uv, @crmarsh.com ):
1. Take pdf from the download folder
2. Compress all images within that pdf to 80% quality.
Triggered by a single call:

Cheese Flowers Are Shaped by Friction
Scraping the surface of a Tête de Moine cheese wheel produces frilly ribbons whose flower-like forms depend on the local friction.

quick tip for recording tutorials #Blender #GeometyNodes:
1. Create the full setup
2. delete elements one by one
3. start recording the tutorial and press Command+Z for every explanation step.
(make sure to set "Undo Steps" to a high number in System -> Memory&Limits)

Importing SVGs to Blender can be a disappointing experience. For those of you who are looking for a more eye-pleasing solution: I just wrote an Enhanced SVG importer extension for accurate colors and correct path processing.

Hey fellow math animators, here's my in-depth tutorial on how to animate equations in Blender using @typst.app.
It comes with lots of custom snapping and alignment tools, so this can be useful for any kind of SVG and glyphs animations.

just coded two new blender operators:
FadeIn and FadeOut. They animate opacity, but also auto-toggle visibility, so objects are only selectable when they’re actually visible in the scene.
