You play as the adorable big dog Chocomel who, together with their kid Pinda, is trying to decorate a snowman with the best things they can find nearby.

The goal of this project was to create a pipeline between Blender and Godot, and make the asset and level creation as seamless as possible.

I'm excited to try the EEVEE shadow terminator control, i had some problems with this previously.

Also, it seems they added the possibility to search for the name of property instead of the name of the node itself in node editors (for example, searching "Add" will show "Converter -> Math -> Add" instead of nothing). I admit that i frequently searched for the math operations instead of just math, and this will be way simpler for me now.

I've been using KDE Neon for a long time. I've also been using an Intel Arc A770 for the last two years. Blender and DaVinci Resolve don't perform as well on Ubuntu-based distributions as they do on Windows. I think I'll need to switch distributions for better work and gaming performance. I don't usually have a lot of free time to rebuild my system, so I might not have the opportunity to install and try different distributions for a long time. So, I'm curious about your opinions.

When I asked the AI, the answers I got were that Clear Linux and Endeavor OS were the best solutions for the Intel Arc series. However, I'm still interested in the opinions of experienced users rather than the AI ​​itself.

• Operating System: KDE neon User Edition
• Kernel Version: 6.11.0-29-generic (64-bit)
• Processors: 12 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-11600K @ 3.90GHz
• Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (31,2 GiB usable)
• Graphics Processor: Intel® Arc A770 16GB

A scene i'm trying to make includes a hole in the sky that i'd like to have disintegrating edges, as shown here. I should only need one angle on this scene so i don't need something that's pretty from every angle.

Here's what the scene looks like currently, with a filled black circle for the hole.

And here's roughly what it should look like.

I used GIMP's pick and blur filters to do this, but i'm curious to know if there's a good way to get this same effect straight from Blender. What are my options here besides editing the picture every time i update the scene?

Thanks in advance.

I'm working on a sculpt of a toy for my nephew and I want to do 2 different 3d prints. One of the hair with black filament and one with the head in a skin color.

It 3d prints fine if it's the head and hair together, but it's not a great sculpt with the normals and edges when separated. I can't boolean because of this. I have no idea how to do it because it doesn't want to be an exact positive negative to glue the hair on.

Think Lego or Play Mobil hair snapping on to the head. It has a positive and negative. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I felt inspired by animusic animations and decided to try to do it myself.

I made the song only using the default plugins from LMMS. I transformed it to MIDI using this converter.

I then converted MIDI to a JSON that contains only what I need using a program in my Github repo (see below). And I import this generated JSON into blender animations using an extension (same Github repo).

Once I have the animations, I used drivers to get the animated values inside geometry nodes to launch and simulate the balls, vibrate the xylophone/marimba, oscillate bass strings and scale trumpets. The hi-hat, snare, drumstick and trombone were animated through drivers in properties GUI.

Rendered with cycles, all materials are the default material, I just changed color, metallic and roughness values, as I decided I didn't want to spend more time into this.

Handsome Beanward the Beansiah beacons the moths of Lemmy to join him in the BeanRooms and brings an offering of Lamp!

Made with Blender and no Ai!

I successfully created a map from osm using blosm addon and wanted to transform it so that all buildings had a medieval style. I'm trying to obtain it with the help of AI but I was wondering if something was already done. It could be futuristic, post apocalyptic, or whatever.

Is there any way to move an object directly toward or away from the camera while scaling it to preserve its apparent size, so it doesn't look like it's moving or scaling? I don't think this is very useful, but it could be good for condensing a distant landscape to be visible with realistic looking scales while not requiring a huge rendering distance.

I'd like to be able to use vector rather than raster textures, mostly because raster images take up a lot of space. I'm pretty sure Blender doesn't support this natively, and the only extension i can find for it is Vectex, which hasn't been updated since 2012.

Does anything for newer versions exist, even just for use within Blender? Is there a better way to have detailed textures without huge texture files?

Thanks in advance.

I'm getting these bald spots on the back of my separate scalp mesh. The hair is not combed behind the scalp, it's just not there at all. Weight painting is totally red for both density and length, and I've tried disabling modifiers like frizz and noise, and every other one. Does my model just have bad genes?

UPDATE: The shader was the culprit! The missing hair was simply transparent, but I've switched the short hair to a simple node, and it's all a lot smoother. The complex setup is still on the longer hair.
