Enjoying some Blender/Godot gamedev explorations
@captaindisillusion.bsky.social I have brazenly plagiarized a portion of your excellent video youtu.be/xDLxFGXuPEc?... for a brief kernel explanation of the upcoming blender 5.0 release video! 😬 Please file any objections with the hyperspace planning council or slide into the relevant DM's. 💖

I always enjoyed the @gamemakerstoolkit.com gamejam breakdowns of info such as is shown in the image (engine usage data).

Was there one for 2025? I'm not sure i saw that posted around? Even more people participated yet again over the previous year if i'm not mistaken? 😊

Such a great test!

This is one to keep an eye on to see future iterations of the results from these prompts, will AI ever even get anywhere near? 🤔

AMAZING!

In several ways :

* This video is AMAZING on an amazing number of levels.
* Amazing that the algo has done us a disservice of this magnitude.
* Amazing that this doesn't have thousands of likes.

What's going on?

C'mon peeps let's try to right a wrong! 💖

Did you know this simple hack for Eevee to render nicer (aka more realistic-looking) translucency?

Here i have a vertex rotating on the view axis, pivoting around the 3d cursor.

I've made a circle to show the possible path of the vertex when it rotates.

When i press Ctrl to snap (to the face) wouldnt we rather it snap to the point that circle intersects with the plane? 🤔

Quick Blender PSA:
Did you know in #b3d you can get different framerate playbacks depending on which window you press play in?

Also, if you have lots of nodes even if muted and unplugged that can make a difference?

Color me intrigued! ✨

As for the tomorrow's planned release of Color Grading in Render Raw mini-course - we've also renamed the Resolve chat and support channels on our Discord to 📟🎨-color-grading-chat and support - makes it a broader church as @AidyBurrows3D mentioned 😃

I know it's a tough job market out there, but I realize not a lot of people who work in AA\AAA know about WorkWithIndies- but it's probably one of the best places to find off-the-beaten-path listings that you might not come across on LinkedIn.

Really impressed with this lighting addon. Light wrangler, as useful for lights as node wrangler is for nodes

I wonder why height is not a bake option after #b3d v2.79

Or maybe a better question is why not add it as an option for cycles/eevee?

I guess lack of demand? Does anyone miss this straightforward bake option? Rather than hacking it together with multires and shrinkwraps?

Wow, @aidyburrows3d.bsky.social noticed that one of the updates for Godot 4.4 includes AgX! 🤯

p.s. ACES tone mapping left, AgX right.

Does anyone know how to rotate coord's in blender so that they never turn into streaks (as they do with the mapping node?)

Here i'm simulating that of course we could just rotate the mesh in edit mode - but can that be done with vector nodes instead? 🤔
