CG facial animator at stop-motion studio; Blender teacher; Extensions platform moderator & add-on developer (Bool Tool, Keymesh, etc.)
A new boolean solver was added to Blender today: Manifold (only in alpha now).

Testing with Bool Tool on mesh with more than 500k vertices it consistently gives 20-40% better performance than Fast/Float and freezes a LOT less.

Keymesh now has thumbnails!

You can quickly generate previews for Keymesh blocks and see them beautifully lined up in the new Grid View UI.

Works for both animated objects and mesh versioning.

I spent last year animating faces for stop-motion puppets ✨

Sculpted & animated in Blender #b3d and 3D-printed separate object for each frame where the face needed to move. Then stop-motion animators attached to puppets and did their magic.

In total >800 faces printed.
