Blend That Film

You know when make some frivolous purchase and think ‘screw it, it’s only €10’ (or $10 or whatever your currency is) imagine dropping that money every month on a thing which makes your childhood dreams possible.

The guy stealing my content and posting it on YouTube has reached out to me about my Copyright strikes... to tell me that he's open to "discussing a fair revenue-sharing arrangement" for my work that he stole. You can't make this stuff up.

@AlexHollings52 So you’ve issued a DMCA and he’s fired this at you as a “deal”? the sheer stones of the guy. I take it you’re just gonna smile and let the DMCA do its work?

For those saying #Blender “bowed to the mob”, just remember that very “mob” is really known as a community to most people, and Blender exists because of the community.

@HugoCGuerra Is this the point where AI is causing more problems than it is solving? The software is moving so fast that the hardware can’t keep up so you need to buy new hardware but the prices are hiked massively because the use of AI.

This is the environmentally and ethically right thing to do. Also, right now, with Ram, SSD, and GPU prices skyrocketing, most people and companies simply can't buy new workstations. We shouldn't have to buy new machines at this accelerated rate! Thank you

Dear @Blackmagic_News, Please don’t remove support for Intel Mac. The Mac Pro 2019 with dual GPU works flawlessly with DaVinci in 6K and 8K. If you support AMD on Windows and Linux, there’s no good reason not to support it on Mac. Don't brick perfectly good machines! Thank you

@melfinadarling Phone on the desk or on a microphone arm with a phone holder is how I do it. Or you can buy a neck breaking head mount.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but maybe someone can answer? How does face tracking work with this? I have never actually seen most 3D vtubers' setup. Is it something like what they use for facial capture in movies? Just a little go pro type thing dangling your iPhone in your face?

@willanderson_ I’m looking to get back to using live controls with Blender but the support for AddRoutes died. How are you handling OSC face controls? I seem to remember from your BCon presentation that you had built something

I’m not sure what is worse; that a $29b company would rather use this #AI slop than pay a media team to make them an ad using real people or that they couldn’t find one genuine customer to just record a recommendation using their phone. @xero you guys suck.

@GameUnionTV I always enjoy it, I like the irony that I pay for Blender anyway 😂

@BlendThatFilm Never gets old!

Every year without fail 😂

Happy “Blender is now going to cost you money” Day to all who celebrate.

Google search for 'Blender news', after the two top links (blender org and blendernation), google presents you with 'People also ask'. GenAI crap.

@tonroosendaal Of all the headlines 🤮

@rogerioperdiz @robertrioux Yeah might be, although I tend to click load settings from previous. An odd one but my muscle memory was one of Ctrl + Click hence why it tripped me up.

I see it 🤨 but I 'm not seeing why you and me have different results... except perhaps that I usually load the settings from previous versions... but, if that's the case, that is good because it means you probably can set it to the previous behavior on the preferences... I'm in Blender 4.3.1. btw

What happened to the Absolute Grid Snap button in 4.2? #b3d

@rogerioperdiz @robertrioux This is the default behaviour I have experienced with 4.2 LTS and hence the Youtube video that I posted from the other user. No audio, see screencast keys.

@BlendThatFilm @robertrioux There's something strange... I don't seem to be doing the same thing... I don't have to press anything except clicking on the bone I want... Are we on the same wave or I'm surfing in another country!? 😅

@tacolamp You don’t want that, not from the fat cats, it’ll only disappoint you.

Make a new grimlins film you fat cats!!!!

@rogerioperdiz @robertrioux Yeah that’s how you begin but once in that mode this is where the change was made. You used to press Ctrl and click a bone to change the selected bone to easily edit weights but now you have to press Ctrl + shift and select the bone. youtu.be/WVp0asJsYfw?si…

@BlendThatFilm @robertrioux I usually select the Armature in object mode, then Shift followed by the Geometry of the character ( as if selecting multiple objects) and then activate Weight Paint, after that we can do just a click on the bones normally.

@rogerioperdiz @robertrioux And we used to press Ctrl + click to select bones in weight paint mode but now it’s Ctrl + shift + click.

@BlendThatFilm @robertrioux ...Usually after that one hour we understand that indeed will be beneficial at the long run 😄 ... some things wont! Like the texture paint color piker that was "S"(of Sampling color) and now is "Shift+X" 🤷‍♂️

Does anyone have any tips on using volumetrics in EEVEE Next? Previously setting up a world with volume was pretty simple now it seems broken #b3d #blender3d

@andrewpprice Who looked at you funny after your Bcon talk? Probably that person.

Anyone know what's up with the Right-Click Select site? I posted a proposal, shared the link and but now it can't be accessed by the public because it's marked as "review"? I also tried posting it earlier this week and then it was straight up deleted by someone. Who runs it?
