The Blender file of the 3D viewer of Tenochtitlan is released. You can download it from the main website.
It's like a digital twin, made for tinkering. It has a lighting and material setup to get you started. It renders in both Cycles and EEVEE

Mexico City is currently blessed with beautiful snow capped Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl. Snow occurred in Tenochtitlan, and there's even a record of a proper blizzard. #cdmx #nieve #tenochtitlan

Of course I had to go see it. Very cool that a movie made with @blender3d.bsky.social, is playing in my local theater. Congrats Flow people!

That big plotter has always been a bit wobbly as the arm is just quite big, but still the precision is quite nice
Plus you can use weird pens to give you effects you just don't get from a printer, or special paper.

I don't think I ever posted this piece. It's 54 windmills in increasing stages of construction. It's pen-plotted with green ink on cotton paper. Each of the mills is generated using some python code...

With this super simple Geometry Nodes setup you can simulate weathering streaks on your mesh using "rain" particles.
This is a bit dressed-down, you can spice it up with some random values per particle for example.

Very sad to hear that Tomás Filsinger has passed away. A pioneer and an artist, his work has been a great inspiration for me and many others. While we have been in touch, I would have loved to meet him in person.
His work will have a lasting legacy.
Rest in peace 🏵️

Due to API changes, the add-on had been out of the running for a while, but Blender Hoogtedata Addon is back thanks to a helpful code contribution!
It allows you to pull Dutch public high-detail GIS data into Blender. Give it a go:
