Testing Light Painter for the Blender 5.0 update. Only had one bug: new sky textures changed, including removal of Nishita sky texture (at least the name).
But it got me to appreciate new sky textures. Stunning. #b3d

New #introduction: I'm a Blender enthusiast, both in scripting tools as well as art. I code at an animation studio for a living. Just continuing to spend time with family, solve problems, and tell stories.

Sometimes, when I'm too sick or unmotivated to write, I just try to write an existing scene for fun.

#Blender3d livestreamers, I have an add-on I'm wrapping up that may make streams more ... chaotic. Perfect for a Halloween stream, it's even customizable for your viewers.

Speaking of, everyone talks about Hugh Jackman's musical movie, but I haven't met anyone that remembers, let alone watched, the 1998 non-musical version.
You know, with Valjean played by a young actor named LIAM NEESON, and Javert by GEOFFREY RUSH. Rush's performance is chilling, highly recommend.

New nView add-on release!
It's now fully compatible with Blender 4.5, including better shader support for transmission bounce checks, as well as utilizing the new BLAZING fast "manifold" boolean solver to generate meshes from a moving camera frustum.

They disabled it for the viewport; apparently the flickering was too jarring. They clarified that both in the tooltip, as well as in a bug report: projects.blender.org/blender/blen...

Happy #PortfolioDay ! I do technical art in free time as a hobby, recently have been doing stylized 3D renders -- from sharp cel-shaded ones to painterly. #Blender3d #b3d #DigitalArt #3DArt

I had to finish my CG Cookie course, then an art challenge, then update my add-ons for 4.4 + a new Light Painter promo, then helped on an add-on for someone else, plus tutorials. Same energy:

Fixed some bugs in my "Separate with Instances" Blender add-on, updated tests.
For those who don't know, the add-on extends the mesh "Separate" and "Set Origin" operators to include linked meshes. All your linked meshes can correctly update their origin without being offset.

Went down a rabbit hole of trying to resize video files in Blender + Python. Blender doesn't expose ffmpeg, moviepy has a ton of dependencies making it impractical to install a dozen wheels for an add-on. "Fine, I'll do it myself."

Calling #Blender add-on developers: which of you have automated testing setup for your add-ons? If not, would you like to?
Everyone sets up tests differently, would love to hear your opinions and ideas. I just love seeing tests pass, like look at this!

Proxy Plus got a hotfix! Adaptive proxy mode broke when loading a new file. Who coded that 🙄🙈
Proxy Plus's adaptive proxy mode manages modifiers, display mode, and subdivision levels based on selection. View current objects in highest quality, "proxies" for the rest.
