Vivien and I worked on a storage system for her watercolors. It's the first time I ever did something like that. It was a great learning experience and we're quite happy with the result.

Blender 5.0 will come with support for volume grids in #GeometryNodes. There is a new blog post about it: code.blender.org/2025/10/volu...

The second post is about how I got into sourdough bread baking: jlucke.com/blog/my-brea...

Next week Thursday (2025-07-03), 6-9 pm, we'll have our second Blender Meetup in Berlin this year. We'll meet in room MAR 0.007 of the TU Berlin (see link below). If you're interested in Blender, computer graphics and/or open source, feel free to drop by. #b3d

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.

Blender now automatically hides #GeometryNodes inputs if their usage depends on a menu input. This allows building higher level node groups without having to show all the inputs all the time. #b3d #devfund

We worked on improving the workflow for frame nodes in Blender. See the blog post below for more details. #GeometryNodes #b3d #devfund

The Set Mesh Normal node has just been added to #GeometryNodes. It allows adding and modifying custom normals, opening up many new possibilities. #b3d #devfund

In Blender 4.5 one can import some file formats directly into #GeometryNodes: obj, stl, ply and csv (numeric data only). This can simplify some workflows quite significantly. #b3d #devfund

On Saturday we had a Blender meetup in the Berlin/Brandenburg area. We plan to do that again in a few months. If you want to be there next time too, feel free to join our group chat: chat.blender.org#/room/#berli... #b3d

Panels in node groups can now have a toggle in the panel header. This allows for more compact and cleaner looking node group assets. #b3d #devfund #GeometryNodes

We just merged a new operator that turns evaluated geometry into separate objects that can be edited manually. #b3d #devfund #GeometryNodes

I want to organize an initial Blender meetup in the Berlin area. It's supposed to be open for users and developers alike. If that sounds interesting to you, please join the following Blender Chat channel or message me. #b3d

Node inputs values are automatically grayed out now if it is detected that their value does not affect the output value. This works with various switch nodes and node groups that use them. #b3d #devfund #GeometryNodes

Blender supports nested panels in node groups now. This allows making node groups more customizable without overloading users with too many options immediately. #GeometryNodes #b3d #devfund
