@hodgy3d Thanks, it's still new and just came out, so only it's official documentation is the good resource There are many tutorials there and examples st-tech.github.io/ppf-contact-so…

@AlaaE_CG Nice one. Do you know of any good tutorials that go over the solver? I was having a dig and really struggled to find any info on it

Just tried ZOZO's Contact solver addon, it's really amazing! couldn't figure out why it came out elastic, could've made a good towel simulation #b3d #simulation #cg #blender

@gleb_alexandrov Yeah I really wanna try and play with it, soon!

Actually that looks ridiculously good.

We’ve released the official Blender add-on for ZOZO’s Contact Solver, our open-source physics solver developed at ZOZO, Inc. Blender users, please take a look! github.com/st-tech/ppf-co…

Just added the new Spline tool to UV Flex This tool lets you very quickly deform islands with ease Link: superhivemarket.com/products/uv-fl… #b3d #gamedev #animation #vfx

@Trent_Dent Why? The sphere is smoothing nicely and the rest is flat, works fine

Sometimes I'm shocked with the BS topo I pull for Subdiv and it still works haha. #subdiv #b3d

@FR3NKD I've tried Ubuntu in a VM, it's solid indeed, I'd like to try Mint someday, and maybe one day I'll daily drive linux and have Windows as VM when needed

So, I tried Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, not bad! It’s a really solid distro; Everything works out of the box, even with Nvidia GPUs. Tomorrow is Fedora day for me! We’ll see how it compares.

@ThatNgonGuy weighted normals Immedietly! those normals hurt the eyes : )

Over here yammering on about years of experience, while also herp derping a low poly and working way too zoomed in. Leaving micro bevels on this small ass part like it's going out of style 🤡

@JoeWilsonEQ1 @JPowersArtist @ThatNgonGuy Alt + J

@JPowersArtist @ThatNgonGuy this is my entire personality

Okay, sure, Jordan can make a traffic cone in 20 seconds with the bevel shader. But what about an unnecessarily detailed one, with high poly, low poly, UVs, bakes, and textures in a little over two hours? Also yes.

@henningsanden caffeine, best from coffee, 2 doctors prescribed a pill included 100mg of it when I feel it coming, replaced it with a cup of coffee because it had terrible side effects but you need to figure the reason and triggers, for me and a relative, we think sinusitis - breath issues

For people who’s cured or significantly managed their migraines, what did you do? My gf has really bad ones and we’re throwing everything at the wall seeing what sticks

@gdechichi @cmuratori Maxmaxing angles, sinking is maxing depth, so maxmaxxing

@cmuratori I can't let that sink in because "sinking" means minimizing height which would be against maxmaxxing

If you're not maxmaxxing, then anything else you maxx will not actually be maxed. Let that sink in.

Link Objects Data and Keep Transforms Just got it's first 5 Stars review! Check it out on Gumroad for free! alaaeldien.gumroad.com/l/lwborz #b3d

just published Link Keep transforms - Free blender addon to Link objects' Data without modifying their Transforms, even on applied transforms alaaeldien.gumroad.com/l/lwborz #b3d #blender #plugin

@FFmpeg safer is better I guess, you got it boss!

FFmpeg is moving to Rust 🦀 Our use of C and Assembly in FFmpeg has been an unacceptable violation of safety. FFmpeg will be running 10x slower - but we're doing it for your safety. All your videos will appear green - safety first, working software later.

@gleb_alexandrov Yeah, he also posted a great tutorial today using geometry nodes to remesh to triangles, based on UV islands, great stuff

Woah, that's crazy.

Drag and Drop HDRIs in blender, Just pushed 2.1 Update, drag to viewport + click, so it doesn’t interfere with the images as reference operator, and Drop on the world properties Directly superhivemarket.com/products/ddp-h… alaaeldien.gumroad.com/l/ixnzv #b3d #blender #HDRI

@JordanMossy hopefully in the future, it'd be built in blender CPP code, change the . to an _ or at least Expose it in the software preferences for us

@_martinsh Oh typo, I meant wavy, not way 😅

@_martinsh It's really cool, like the hex sides are way, but its not

I accidentally created an optical illusion in #Blender while implementing a hexagonal texture de-tiling. The hex edges appear to slightly bend.
