First project with Blender 4.5 beta. Vulcan is much faster 🙌

Autokey Highlight is a must have #blender3d add-on. Puts a red outline around the viewport while auto keying is active. Saves you a river of tears when you blow up your animation because you forgot to turn auto keying off.

Joined a weekly challenge to help snap me out of a three month slump. Theme was "mask". Blender (Eevee) #b3d

A probably little known fact about Flow that still blows my mind: There’s no compositing, according to @blender.org’s interview with @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. What you see is a straight render from the shaders. A bit like recording a Grammy winning album with little to no mixing or mastering.

Working on a little tour of the severed floor. This is the first sequence.

Watching Severance I noticed hex codes at the bottom of the Macrodata Refinement screens. Because I'm a big dork I noted them in scenes where they appear throughout season 1. Here are the colors they map to.

The animation director for Flow, Léo Silly Pélissier, made a guide for his team of 20 animators. Character refs, animation style, tools, etc. Really interesting to see how they organized the work. Half of the team never used Blender before.

I was going for a 1930's cinema vibe for this Frankenstein animation. I used the HSV node in the compositor. Didn't even know about the RGB → BW node 💡 In any case, the realtime compositor was crucial, allowing me to edit materials to tweak tones of individual objects before rendering.

Do you or someone you know use Blender? I put together a little gift guide. A short list of courses, add ons and hardware that I personally use and recommend. Some good Black Friday deals in there too. #b3d #blender3d

Here's how I animated the camera for this loop in #b3d

• Follow Path constraint along a curve
• Track To constraint using an empty object
• Since orthographic cameras (infinite focal length) can't zoom, animate orthographic scale to imitate this
